History: Over 35 Years of Serious Fun.
E N D
History: Over 35 Years of Serious Fun 1976: The Little Gym was founded by Robin Wes, an innovative educator, musician and kinesiologist. Although teaching physical education in a competitive setting was the accepted norm at the time, Robin created an environment filled with the spirit to achieve rather than the pressure to win. This non-competitive approach was unheard of back then. Revolutionary, even. 1992: The Little Gym International was formed to franchise the concept, spreading The Little Gym’s methods and results across the globe. Since then, we've honed the teaching methods, structuring them into an expanded curriculum with each class building on lessons learned in previous ones. Since our inception in 1976, The Little Gym has helped millions of children experience the benefits of this positive approach
