The Little Gym’s philosophy is to promote children’s overall motor, social and cognitive development through movement, music and group games in a fun, welcoming, family-friendly and non-competitive environment. Everything adapted to the age of each child!
Always on the move
Crawling, walking, running and jumping. Flexibility, strength, balance and coordination
Thinking in Action
Listening, following instructions, making decisions, solving problems, creativity
Being Social
Making friends, sharing space and objects, respecting friends, knowing how to wait, cooperating
Our history, since 1976
Robin Wes is an innovative educator, musician and kinesiologist who envisioned a welcoming, no-pressure place where children could explore their physical and emotional development.
He opened the first The Little Gym in 1976 in Bellevue, Washington, and implemented the same positive, non-competitive spirit that characterizes us today.
In 2008, the brand opened its first unit in Portugal, in the city of Lisbon in Laranjeiras, and in 2022 it opened its second unit in the city of Porto in Pinheiro Manso.
There are currently more than 450 The Little Gym locations around the world.
