Maureen and Al Ruthazer have always been passionate about children. After dreaming of owning a business for many years, Maureen and Al finally decided that it was time to put their dream into motion, and in 2003 they opened The Little Gym of Danvers, MA and turned their dream into a reality!

Maureen and Al are both perfectly suited to be owners of a The Little Gym®. Maureen has a strong background in customer service and helping families. She has a Bachelors degree in American Studies from Brandeis University and Juris Doctris degree from Massachusetts School of Law. She was a family law attorney for the past 5 years before joining The Little Gym. Al has a Bachelors degree in engineering from Cornell University and Masters of Management Science degree from University of Massachusetts Lowell. With a passion for developing staff and ensuring top quality products and processes, Al led business operations for the 18 years preceding his opening The Little Gym. Together, along with a top team of professionals, they apply their past experience and skills to ensure The Little Gym of Danvers offers the highest value to its customers.

The Little Gym of Danvers has grown by leaps and bounds (pun intended), and their two children, Samantha (13) and Jacob (10) have never been happier.

Most classes still have some openings in them, and we are still scheduling many FREE trial visits and birthday parties. Please visit our our beautiful and safe 4000 sf facility.

Al and Maureen have an exceptional staff of well trained directors and instructors, many with degrees in fitness and education. The instructors have over 50 years (combined) experience teaching children, and all have successfully completed the vigorous The Little Gym instructor training program!

Katie Carter, our Danvers Gym Director, along with the rest of our team invite you to call or stop by anytime – we are looking forward to meeting you and are ready to schedule your free trial visit!
