Lia and Phil Arnold are the proud owners of The Little Gym of Hunt Valley. Both have always been passionate about children and have wanted to do something that really makes a difference in children's lives. After dreaming about owning a business for many years, Lia and Phil finally decided to put their dream into motion, and in October 2007 they opened The Little Gym of Hunt Valley. They fell in love with the philosophy and curriculum of The Little Gym and knew almost immediately that they had found the "right thing." Of course their daughter Emily (8) and son AJ (7) couldn’t be happier about this and are excited to work in the family business! Lia, Phil, Emily and AJ invite you to call or stop by anytime – they’re looking forward to meeting you and they’re ready to schedule your free introductory visit!
