Talk to me about Gymboree Classes for infants

JenniferJaneC

I noticed that we have a Gymboree at the mall near home.  I have a friend who takes her older daughter to the Gymboree classes and she loves it, but I'm not sure what to think about the classes for babies.

 Anyone do these before?  Are they worth the time/money?

IMO, they aren't worth it until you really have a mobile baby.  Crawling at a minimum.

We don't have Gymboree with classes, but something similar. I think they're better for older kids, when they can at least crawl, but probably walking is best. We plan on taking Logan in a few months when he's walking. I don't think that littler kids could get much out of the classes for how much they cost.

We started My Gym when DS was about 7 weeks.  I liked it because it was free with paid lifetime membership.  That was on Thursdays so when I went back to work we paid for their Saturday class.  DH went with us and we had fun but we decided to stop because he couldn't do everything the other babies were doing since he wasn't walking yet.  I would go try their free class and see what you think.

We just took Gabe on Saturday to a trial class.  He had a great time, but it seemed like they moved from one activity to another REALLY quickly.  Just about the time he was start to get it, it was time to move to something else.  Granted, the age range for the class was 10-16 months and he is barely 10 months so that may have been part of it.

It's also pretty expensive.  $70/mo for one class a week is too steep for our budget right now.
