EXCELLENT Based on 3 reviews Eleanor Leavens2025-06-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our son has so enjoyed Gym Bus! He always had great stories and skills to share with us each week. We've seen his confidence and skills grow so much. Thank you for the wonderful foundation you've provided for him, Coach Illy!

Thank you so much!! We truly love what we do and hope that transcends.
I appreciate your hard work and customer service. My daughter is so happy with Gym Bus and getting a stamp on her arm every Friday. She is excited going to school more than before… Thanks for your awesome activity.

The kiddos here at Countryside absolutely love Gym Bus! They are always super excited to see you walk through their classroom door! Their little faces just light up. You are so patient, kind, and caring to each and everyone of them. We appreciate you so much and look forward to seeing you each week. Thanks for all you do!

We love gym bus and its one of Emilia's favorite things at daycare!

I just wanted to let you know how much he has truly loved his time with Gym Bus, it is something he is so excited for each week and is so sad to have to say goodbye to. Luckily we still have 2 younger kids enrolled so they still get to enjoy it but you all do such a wonderful job and we are so thankful for your program.

He’s our big little ray of sunshine and we’re glad that’s reflective outside our home too. Gym Bus is definitely something he looks forward to every week and talks about all evening long after your visit. He loves to “present” at home after he shows us a new skill he’s learned 🙂 Thank you for providing such an incredible opportunity for him! We’re sad to hear you’re not at Primrose LS but will be more than happy to pass your info along. We’ll be the first on the list to sign up if you do come over!
