The Little Gym of Naples

A New Hub for Kids’ Growth and Fun

Exciting news for families in Southwest Florida! The Little Gym of Naples is now open, bringing a world of movement, learning, and fun to Naples. Owned by Kara and Patrick Morton, this new franchise location is dedicated to helping kids build confidence, develop motor skills, and foster a lifelong love for physical activity—all while having a blast.

What is The Little Gym?

The Little Gym is a globally recognized center for children’s enrichment and physical development, offering a progressive curriculum in a nurturing, non-competitive environment. Designed for children aged four months to 12 years, their programs focus on building strength, coordination, and social skills through gymnastics-based activities. With classes in gymnastics, sports skills, and parent-child sessions, The Little Gym supports children in reaching key developmental milestones while fostering confidence and a love for movement.

Meet the Owners

Kara and Patrick bring a dynamic blend of expertise to The Little Gym of Naples. Kara began her career as a special education teacher in the Lee County School System. She later earned her master’s degree in occupational therapy from Barry University and went on to become a pediatric occupational therapist. Passionate about childhood development, she found that The Little Gym was the perfect fit—blending her love for teaching with the importance of movement while reinforcing her belief that development, learning, and play go hand in hand. She understands the vital role early childhood development and physical activity play in building confidence and setting children up for lifelong success.

Patrick graduated with bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Florida and started his career as a manufacturing engineer at Arthrex, he eventually transitioned into a role in product development on the Distal Extremities team. After investing in real estate for a few years, he made the transition to a full-time real estate agent, where he continues to thrive. Patrick plays a key role in managing the business operations at The Little Gym while providing unwavering support to Kara in bringing her vision to life.
