My Gym Walnut Creek strives towards creating healthy happy children everyday ♥
We keep children healthy by making fitness fun!

Story

Childhood obesity has doubled in the last two decades, with 10% of all children between the ages of 2 and 5 in the U.S. already overweight. My Gym is dedicated to reversing this dangerous trend. Our facilities, programs and services empower youngsters by helping them acquire the skills, confidence and positive self-image needed to become healthy young adults. We are committed to nurturing children, treating them with understanding and positive reinforcement, maintaining a supportive and noncompetitive atmosphere, and making learning fun and exciting.

We improve the lives of children throughout the world.

The thrill of accomplishment from achieving a physical task builds self-esteem and confidence that carry over into all aspects of a child’s life. Interaction with our highly trained staff provides children the opportunity to establish warm relationships with compassionate adults, thus raising their level of comfort as they begin preschool/kindergarten. Our My Gym Kids learn more about themselves as they develop independence, self-discipline, social skills and even a sense of humor, all of which lead to an increased feeling of self-worth. A child who feels good about him/herself has a jump start on the path to success.

Description
We are the experts in children’s fitness.
For 30 years, My Gym has helped children 6 weeks thru 13 years of age
develop physically, cognitively, and emotionally. We have hundreds of
locations in more than 30 countries offering structured, age-appropriate,
weekly children’s classes that incorporate music, dance, relays, games, special
rides, gymnastics, sports, and more. Children have loads of fun as they gain
strength, balance, coordination, agility, and flexibility while developing social
skills, confidence, and self-esteem. In addition, our kids birthday parties are
second to none.
Our state-of-the-art facility, extensively trained staff, award-winning class
programs, and excellent student/teacher ratio have earned My Gym the
reputation as the best early learning program of its kind.
My Gym programs focus on physical, cognitive, and emotional growth because
we view each step of development in these areas as an essential "building
block" toward becoming a happy, healthy, well-adjusted human being. Our
Building Blocks program is designed to acknowledge My Gym Kids for their
efforts and achievements. It is an interactive skill and development tracking
and recognition system that provides specific opportunities for our students,
teachers, and parents to enjoy and celebrate the attainment of key milestones
together.
