Now that you and your child have settled into a great school routine, it’s a perfect time to add in and educational, athletic, extracurricular activity.

You’ve probably heard me talk about The Little Gym of Huntersville/Lake Norman before, and after having two little girls go through various programs, camps, and events that Little Gym offers, I’d like to consider myself a little bit of a mom expert when it hoes to Little Gym. Perhaps that’s one reason I represent The Little Gym of Huntersville/LKN as Mombassador.



Today I’ll answer some common questions you may have about The Little Gym of Huntersville/LKN referred to throughout the rest of this post as TLG.

What classes does TLG offer? TLG offers a wide variety of classes including gymnastics, sports, and dance.

What is the age range for classes at TLG? TLG welcomes children ages 4 months through 12 years.

Where is TLG located? TLG Huntersville/LKN is located at exit 23 off Route 77. It is nestled with some great shops right off Gilead Road and close to Presbyterian Huntersville and Earth Fare.

What’s the best way to see if my child likes a class? Sign up for a FREE “Intro” class for the age group that fits your child’s age. Also, if your child has a friend who is currently enrolled, they may join their friend for a “bring a friend” class {as long as they are in the same age group for the class}, please make sure you or the member calls to let TLG know that you’re coming, we love visitors and want to make sure we’re well staffed!

Why should I choose TLG as an activity for my child? TLG teaches children how to be active, have fun, learn life-skills, in a non-competitive, nurturing setting. As a Little Gym mom, I’ve seen my girls learn real skills in their dance and gymnastics classes, make some great friends, learn to respect their teachers, and have seen them grow. I am only speaking for TLG Huntersville/LKN, but the teachers and staff are amazing and are more than people we see twice a week. Instructors take the time to get to know each child individually and on a personal level. That means a lot to me as a mom that my family isn’t only dollar signs to a business.

What is the makeup policy? Unlike many gym and dance programs, TLG offers makeup classes for members who notify TLG in advance, before class begins. Makeup classes must be scheduled in advance to ensure there is the appropriate child to teacher ratio, and do carry over to additional semesters so long as your child is enrolled.

Can I see my child during class? Often programs do not allow you to stay for classes or you must view on a closed-circuit television, however TLG Huntersville/LKN offers you and your child the comfort of being able to see each other during class. For the timid child this gives a sense of security. It also allows for family members to watch your child perform and gives children a sense of accomplishment.

For the non parent-child classes, TLG hosts a couple of parent involvement classes where parents/family are able to join students in their classes and participate.

How much does it cost? Price varies depending on your payment plan, and when you start your child in classes. There is a once a year registration fee per family and parents may sign their children up for Parent Survival Night, camp, or host birthday parties at TLG for an additional fee. However the initial trial class is always FREE!!

How do I sign my child up?

Check out the Programs and Classes schedule HERE, select a time and age group that fits your child’s needs and call TLG directly or sign up via their website for your child’s first class! For any questions TLG is very helpful and knowledgeable about the best options for your family.

Hopefully I’ve been able to not only answer some questions you may have, but also spark your interest in what I think has been one of the most valuable investments our family has made in the development of our children.
