I would like to enroll B in Gymboree classes. My mom has him during the work week and I think it would be fun for them to do together. It is insanely expensive though and I wonder if it's even worth it as this age (11 weeks).
When did you find Gymboree to be worth it?

We did it when my son was 21 months and it was great. I'd wait until the kid is mobile at least although I think it can be good at any age. We saw a lot of advances once we started gymbo - who knows if it was a coincidence or not?

I thought around 3-4 months it started to be worth it, but to be honest, it got a little repetitive going 3-4x a week. It was one of the only things we could do during the week since it was the middle of winter and really cold outside!
I did have fun during the 2 months I was there and I thought my LO did have fun too... and it was one of the only times she would do tummy time because she saw other babies doing it.
I might try it again this winter when my LO is 15 months.
It is really expensive though

My mom takes care of my son while we work. I just recently enrolled them in a baby gym class when he was nine months old and crawling. I took him to the first class to check it out (on my day off) and he loved it, so I figured they'd have a great time. The class is $120 (?) for 8 weeks and more than worth it because we dont pay for childcare. I took him to a baby movement and music class when he was 2-4 months old and I was still on maternity leave. It was through the local parks and was about $50 for 8 sessions. He didn't get much out of it at that age, but I had fun with my mom friends.

I would wait until your LO can crawl. I've heard fun things about the music classes, but it seems the gym classes are better when your kid is mobile. We did a trial before my son could crawl and I felt it was a big waste of time.
What about finding a library story hour for them? That can be good for younger babies.
