I posted this in another section but didn't get any replies. I'd like to hear your opinions please.

I found a gymnastic place but it plays non jewish music and the kids are non jewish. They refused to alter the music. My mashpia says it's not the right atmosphere for my child and so does my rav. I can make a class for my son in the gym with only jewish kids and on a sunday and find an instructor. It's a lot of work, I'm working full time and with my son after work (5-8) and then he sleeps. I was having a hard time with this because the non frum world has things that we don't have. Why is it never okay to seek something outside the frum world (which is very limited)?

According to my rav it is ALWAYS ok to seek out something (kosher) from the non Jewish world. But if yours said no, it's no...

I would drop the gym idea all together and just make sure he runs around, climbs, etc.
