Explore the Fitness Club
The Tail Waggin Fitness Club Playset is ready to go straight out of the box. Made of brightly colored plastic and decorated with fun decals, the club folds open to reveal six rooms filled with fun accessories.

Two exclusive pets are included to get you started. Take the guinea pig for a spin on the hamster wheel, or spin the thumb wheel and watch the kangaroo "leap" over three hurdles in a circle. There's also a jump rope station controlled by a thumb wheel, a locker for stashing your pets' stuff, and a treat dispenser for rewarding well behaved pets. A post with two swivel beds and a hanging basket provide comfy places for tired pets to rest between workouts, and there's even a washroom with a movable tub for keeping pets clean.

Make New Friends
With plenty of space for lots of pets to play at the same time, this gym inspires cooperative play between friends or siblings. It's also great for a single child with an active imagination. We really enjoyed the unique characteristics of each of the included pets--, like the kangaroo's bright green boxing gloves, and the way magnets in their feet keep them from falling off the magnetized wheel, jump rope platform, and hurdle platform.

But it's clear that having friends bring over their own pets will increase the fun factor, especially since the kangaroo is a little too top-heavy to be a top performer on some of the apparatuses.

The moving parts are put together well, but the fitness club and its accessories are made of plastic, which means that rough play could take a toll on them over time. As long as kids are sure to fold the set up and keep it out of the way when it's not in use, it should provide plenty of imaginative fun.

I had wondered why this product sold for almost $50. Yes, like almost all LPS playsets, it has a zillion little parts. However, I didn't think it was $50 worth! I can see $35, maybe. But my daughters love it and it's keeping them entertained.

The Littlest Pet Shop Fitness Center was a "must have" item this Christmas season by the younger set! As with other items in the line, it is well made, encourages imagination, and is just plain cute!

My 8 and 9 year old daughters were given this for Christmas. They played with it for hours. It is durable and folds up nicely. It does come with some small play pieces that would not be suitable for younger children who may put things in their mouth though.

I recently bought this one for $38.89 from Toys R Us with 20% discount coupon. (retail price is $44.99)
$149.00 is outrageous unless you have any goodies?

Why is this exact same toy $100 cheaper at WalMart??? I checked high and low to see if this listed price here was maybe a typo. I guess not. Wow! This is just palin wrong.
