Why Brent Macon Chose Dunwoody
Brent left the consulting world, which was tech-heavy and all screens, after becoming a parent. He wanted to do something with more impact. Dunwoody made sense: tight-knit neighborhoods, lots of young families and a community that shows up for kids’ programs.
What The Little Gym of Dunwoody Offers
Classes are broken out by age, starting with infants as young as four months and going up through grade school.
- Parent-child classes for babies and toddlers
- Preschool classes for kids just getting started
- More advanced classes for older kids ready for bigger challenges
- Monthly Parent Survival Nights, so moms and dads get a night out
- Birthday parties and themed school break camps
Brent was clear that the goal isn’t to create Olympic gymnasts. It’s coordination, confidence, listening skills and making friends face to face.
Getting Kids Off Screens
Kids today are growing up on screens. At The Little Gym of Dunwoody, they’re balancing, bouncing and making friends instead of swiping and scrolling. As a dad, I love that.
Part of the Dunwoody Community
Brent and his team, including business partner Jane Mills and director Ruby, are jumping into local life with the Dunwoody 4th of July Parade, Trunk or Treat and Light Up Dunwoody. They’re also looking at bringing the concept to other Atlanta neighborhoods.
Podcasting and AI for Small Business
Brent hosts Macon Atlanta, a more idea-driven show about AI, healthcare and philosophy. We traded notes on podcasting and on how tools like ChatGPT help us run our businesses. For me, it speeds up content like my weekly real estate updates, which frees up time to actually be with people. Brent uses it to communicate better with parents.
We both landed in the same place: AI can’t replace human connection, but it can support it.
