Re: What do you think. The Little Gym or Gymboree?
Gymboree hands down. They have way more classes, liberal make up class policy and the best part - OPEN GYM! We've gone to two dif locations and i love both, currently taking learn & play and go to open gym 2x a week, so 3 days a week we are there, which in the TX heat is a godsend.
Our friend's LO goes to Little Gym, it doesn't have open gym & you can only make up missed classes on a specific time/day, at least the ones here near us.
We've been going to Little Gym since DS was 4 months old. We love it.
They don't have open gym, but you can make up a class any other time during the week as long as that class isn't already full of regular registrants.
DS doesn't walk yet, but the kids who do have a blast on all the equipment.
We never did the trial class with Gymboree since LG is more convenient time and location wise. Gymboree is also a monthly fee vs. LG which is per semester. I also believe LG will refund you should something come up and you have to drop out.

We tried 1 class of both when LO#1 was about 6 - 7 mos. LO liked Little Gym when he got to swing on the swing. I think he got more out of Gymboree. We went to the music class and he had a good time. Then afterwards we went to open gym play. He would get much more out of the classes now, but for now it is not in our budget. Besides, I am not one for scheduled classes. I like to take LO to things if we are at a good point in the day to go to an event.
