What Is like the Little Gym" but Cheaper?

Hi Mommas,

I LOVE The Little Gym in Mckinney, so so so much, but I cannot afford the $310 charge, even if it is for 3 months. My son is SO hyper, and so active. He is not very attentive though, so I opted out of sports so far, since I do not feel he is really for organized play. For right now he is a totally fly-by-the-seat-of-his-pants kind of kid. (to quote Pretty Woman) Free Spirited. Gymnastics is PERFECT for him right now.
Where else can I register him for summer that is similar to The Little Gym but will not cost me and arm and a leg of only one day a week? I've gone to Tumblebugs and was treated like dirt. So I will NEVER go to them or ever recommend them. All I did was walk in and the ladies ignored me an catered to the rich looking soccer moms in matching sweats and Coach bags. I asked for information and they did not say a word to me the 1st tme and the 2nd time I was thursted a flyer. Afterwards some other moms came in and they were treated like very valued customers. PLEASE recommend to me a CARING and KIND buisness!

Thanks!

So What Happened?

Thanks for all the information! I had no idea there were so many gymnastics places in this area! Everytime I try to look for stuff online, it usually just brings up a few places. I really need to learn how to navigate the web a little better :)

I did make a mistake when asking my question, I said $310 registration fee, and so many of you seemed shocked by that price, so I went back and looked at the quotes I was given, and the number $310 is the final price of eveything, includeing the registration fee. I'm sorry for any confusion, I have never signed up my kids for anything before, and I am not familiar with the price breakdown.

Thanks everyone!!! :)

I live in Frisco. I am not sure if this what your looking for but every Wednesday Kurt Thomas gym has an open gym for preschoolers from 10:00am to 11:15am. My son loves it because he can do what ever he wants. It is a full gym. It cost seven dollars. It is on Frisco street behind the Power house. Their number is ###-###-####. There is not commitment you just pay seven dollars if you go. Also right by there is a Pump It Up and it has an open preschool thing on Mondays at 10:00am to 11:30am. It cost about the same. Their number is ###-###-####. I hope that helps.

ASI gymnastics at exchange pkwy and 75 has a wonderful tiny tots gymnastics class. It is great and the instructors are awesome! It's not overly structured the kids have a blast and still work on skills. It is 60 a month and like 25 I think for registration. No contracts or any thing, it's one day a week for 50 minutes. My daughter has been going there for the past 4 months and she loves it!!! Class days and times are pretty flexible.
Give them a call and do a free trial :0)
Hope this helps!

My kiddos have enjoyed classes from our rec. center. Check your city's website and see what programs they have to offer. You'll usually find that they are cheaper but very similar to classes at the Little Gym, Kindermusik, etc.

Good luck with your search!

We go to Metroplex Gymnastics in Allen off 75 & Bethany. Can't remember what registration cost is, but it wasn't even close to $310!!! Class runs $60/month for my 3 year old, once a week 50 minute class. She LOVES it!
