Motor Skill Development Made Fun Builds Confidence that Leads to a Lifetime of Success. For over 25 years, The Little Gym® has done just that. Owners, Adam and Ileana Stone have always been passionate about children. Along with their two children, The Little Gym has become their family. Since the opening in April 2003, the “five star” rated staff has trained thousands of children from the ages of 4 months to 12 years old. They love building a child’s self esteem and helping them reach their highest level of mental, physical and emotional growth. Having a child or parent thank you for making a difference in their child’s life is PRICELESS! Adam’s business background and his lacrosse experience at the University of Northern Illinois and Ileana’s many years as a lawyer and accountant for large Chicago firms has shaped The Little Gym of Chicago into one of the best gyms in the nation. Gym Director Tammy Shuk Phillips has 15 years plus experience teaching gymnastic in both competitive and non-competitive programs. She first joined The Little Gym family in 1997 as an instructor at The Little Gym in South Bend, Indiana while attending The University of Notre Dame.  She then spent over a year as the Program Director in Glenview. Tammy has been the Gym Director of The Little Gym of Chicago since the opening in April 2003.
