Recent email from one of our customers! Yay!

We always love hearing from our customers about how The Little Gym has been a part of their life.  Last week, I received an email from a mother of twins who have been coming to The Little Gym of Lake Oswego for just over four years.  She had a great experience at our September Parents' Survival Night and said I could post her words.   Here they are!

"[My husband] and I love bringing the kids to Parents' Survival Night!  Your staff does such a great job entertaining and teaching the kids.  We can relax on our date knowing that they are having a blast! 

Actually, they always have so much fun that it can be a challenge getting them to leave.  Last night, we arrived early (around 9) to pick up the kids.  As we were arriving, they were about to do their craft and didn't want to go. Teacher James intervened and spoke with the kids to prepare them to leave and talked with them about doing the craft at home.  Skillfuly, he spoke with them, then had the gruop wish them a good night as they left with us.  It was AWESOME!  Smoothest pick-up of the kids ever... :-)

Thanks to everyone and especially James for helping make the experience particularly positive and stressless."

(We have an award that I give to our instructors when I get great feedback from customers.  It's our "Employee of the Week" award.  James will be getting it this coming week!)

Come "meet" The Little Gym founder, Robin Wes!

Robin Wes founded The Little Gym 35 years ago.  He is an amazing person.  In my 6 years in The Little Gym system, I've met him about a dozen times - at the annual "Reunion" at at various trainings.  He lives and teaches in the Bellevue, WA area.

Yesterday, he was on a Seattle, WA news program, being interviewed about The Little Gym.  Then he treated the audience with some children showing their gymnastics and listening skills while Robin played guitar and sang a The Little Gym song.

Please watch this video to see where The Little Gym came from... Robin is the soul of The Little Gym and our philosophy and Serious Fun flows from him.

Enjoy!
