Product Description: Get your pets ready to feel the burn with this activity-filled playset!

Amazon.com Review: The Littlest Pet Shop Tail Waggin Fitness Club Playset is packed with fun activities for kids and their new pets. The bobble-head guinea pig and kangaroo are sure to inspire lots of hopping and spinning in this six-room pet palace, which is designed for children aged four and up. Since pets come with small accessories, this set in not appropriate for children under three.

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.
What's in the Box Fitness club playset, guinea pig, and kangaroo.
Tail Waggin Fun My nine year old loves this product. It's well built and larger than I anticipated; yet, it folds up and stores well. There are plenty of accessories and with a little imagination, hours of fun can be gleaned from this toy.
Over-priced!!!! We bought the fitness pet shop house for our daughter a few days before Christmas and it was only $34 at Walmart. My daughter love the new pet shop house but paying almost $100 for it is ridiculous. It even looks like Hasbro is starting to make them less durable. My daughter has every pet shop house and she was most excited about this one. I am a little frustrated with it though, because it seems like it would break a lot easier than the other ones. If you can deal with that, it does have fun exercise equipment for your pet shops such as, jump rope, a punching bag, lockers and hurdles. It comes with the hard to find Kangaroo pet shop & I think a hamster (can't remember). But you can def pay less for it! Even the Hasbro website sells it for about $40.
Cute, but not really worth the money This is cute, but as with most of these types of toys not worth forty something dollars. Small parts always get lost, too. My daughter likes it, though.
It's huge!!!! My daughter's first words when she opened this on Christmas morning were, "oh,my gosh! It's huge!" And it is - she has had so much fun playing with this. It was a great addition to her LPS collection! Easy to set up and it folds up and stores nicely.
cute, but sort of expensive... 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.
