Bouncing, giggling, rolling and swinging upside down – it’s all in a day’s fun for students at The Little Gym of Denton.  The gym, which has received a significant positive response from local residents, helps children between the ages of 4 months and 12 years lay the foundation for a lifetime of success.

Headquartered in Scottsdale, AZ, The Little Gym is considered the premier developer of motor skills in children worldwide.  The company uses curriculum-based gymnastics, movement and other programs to promote coordination, balance, rhythm and flexibility.  In addition, The Little Gym’s programs have a proven track record of enhancing children’s listening, social and intellectual skills.

“Our philosophy is to introduce kids to the world of fitness in a caring and non-competitive way,” said Jill Alverson, owner of the gym.  “Our students progress at their own pace, and rather than be the best, they are encouraged to try their best.”

Jill and Chris Alverson purchased The Little Gym of Denton in February of 2008.  Although the gym has been open since 2001, the new owners have renovated the facility, updated all of the equipment, and increased instructor training requirements.

“Programs at The Little Gym make skill building fun for students and parents alike.  Individualized attention builds the students’ confidence that lays the foundation for success in other areas of their life,” said Jill Alverson.

The Little Gym of Denton offers a variety of classes.  One such course enables parents to join their children in the exploration of basic motor and social-skill development, while another teaches students basic tumbling and apparatus techniques using positive motivation as a learning tool.

The Little Gym of Denton is enrolling now for Fall and Winter/Spring Semesters.  Great gift idea for Christmas!  Grandparents, buy your grandchild the gift of motor skill development, confidence and self esteem that will last their life time!  Gift certificates are available for purchase in any denomination.  For more information, please call 940-243-5437 or
