Santa Barbara My Gym Children’s Fitness Center

We cannot say enough great things about MyGym Santa Barbara and, especially, Coach Charles. We were part of the program for two years, and it was one of the best experiences for our child and our family. Coach Charles has built something truly special - an environment that’s fun, structured, welcoming, and incredibly thoughtful about child development. From day one, it was clear how intentional the program is. The classes strike the perfect balance between play, learning, confidence-building, and physical development, and our child genuinely looked forward to every session. Coach Charles brings amazing energy, patience, and care to each class, and he somehow manages to make every kid feel seen and supported. Beyond the classes themselves, the community at MyGym SB is fantastic. It’s a place where parents feel welcome, kids thrive, and milestones are celebrated. If you’re considering MyGym for your child, don’t hesitate, this program is worth it, and Coach Charles is an incredible leader. We’re so grateful for the time we spent here and highly recommend it to any family looking for something truly special.

We recently started going to My Gym and it has been absolutely amazing from my 8 month old. My son has recently started crawling and always wants to do something. My Gym has been great because there is so much room for him to move around with soft floors and soft things to play on (mats, stairs, etc). The teachers are awesome and set up different exercises for the kids, and they do a great job helping them through the exercise and making it a positive experience. The owner, Charles, is also extremely nice, great with kids and has created an awesome business. Highly recommend for littles who need something to do!

Without a doubt the best place to bring your kids. Whether you attend weekly classes or host a birthday party here I cannot rave enough about Charles and his team! My son has been attending classes for 3 years and is now in a drop off pre-gymnastics class and he has learned so many skills here (not just athletic). His body awareness and confidence is what it is because of my gym, he also has learned kindness, patience and numerous other positive social skills here as well. So if you are looking for a complete package place to take your kids look no further, MY GYM is it! Weekly classes, birthday parties, summer camp you can’t beat a place like this. So thankful for the team at MY Gym!

As a grandmother of two young children, I am thrilled to take the little ones to My Gym in Santa Barbara, a jewel of a resource run by Charles, a man with a vision and understanding of child development. . Once at My Gym, the kids kick off their session with circle time of stretches, dances and skill practice, followed by activities that change virtually every ten minutes. From mini-zip lining to swinging in animal-shaped swings to balancing on boards, the kids pack in a lot of activities, all leading to independent time where the adults sit back and the children develop their inner resources, exploring a tub of toys, including the teapot my grandson loves to use to pour imaginary tea. Following independent time, the session comes to a close, again in the circle, with a puppet show, in which Charles or Quinn or another talented kids coach tells a story with colorful animal puppets before leading the tykes in the "Time to Say Good-Bye Song" hands waving and kids ready to dart over to get their hands stamped with little animal figures. Fun!

Had our daughters joint birthday party there and it was awesome! Coach Jack and Grace kept the energy up and activities moving. We just had to show up with snacks and cupcakes, and they took care of all the rest. We had a somewhat large age range in guests 4 - 10 years old and the activities still were engaging for all ages. We upgraded from the Delux Party package to make it 2 hours versus 1.5 hours, and we’re glad we did do it worked out better for parents to just drop off their kids rather than stick around. It’s somewhat pricey but they give you a great experience. Our girls loved it all!
