Eric and Amanda Stockholm, parents of two and longtime Clifton Park residents, recently held a grand opening celebration for The Little Gym of Clifton Park, a franchise under the Unleashed Brands umbrella.
The couple, both passionate about education, athletics, and family, turned their shared interests into a business designed to help children grow through movement and music. The Little Gym offers gymnastics-based programs for children ages four months to 12 years, focused on physical development, confidence building, and parent-child bonding.
“Gymnastics was my first love,” said Amanda, a former Division I tennis player and academic advisor. “As a working mom, I wanted something structured that both my child and I could look forward to—and I found that in The Little Gym.”
Eric, a Shenendehowa graduate with a master’s in teaching, said their combined backgrounds in coaching, education, and athletics made the venture a natural fit. “With my experience in youth sports and Amanda’s in gymnastics and academics, it felt like the perfect blend of our passions,” he said.
Located at 54 Crossing Blvd. in Kohl’s Plaza, The Little Gym of Clifton Park offers weekly classes, birthday parties, seasonal camps, and “Parent Survival Nights.” The Stockholms’ mission is to create a joyful, safe, and inclusive space where local children can explore, learn, and grow.
