About

Get to know the people and philosophy behind the business

The Little Gym builds kids' confidence and social-emotional learning through recreational gymnastics and movement. No pressure, no scoring - just kids laughing, leaping, and learning at their own pace. This joy sets them up for success.

Owner Kayla Shannon started here as an instructor in 2009, purchased the franchise with her husband Brian in 2016, and is now back in the classroom as a parent herself. Gym Director Marissa leads a team of coaches, including former Little Gym kids who've returned to teach the next generation.
