You can go to the gym at any age, and I encourage you to go at any age. 8 year old can start doing push ups. So there is no ‘proper’ age you should go to the gym. It is just an excuse to not go.
You can start doing body weight, TRX, kettle bell, medicine ball, swiss ball, light machine exercises. There are no drawbacks of doing this, and you can do it at any age. This is not going to stunt your growth like most people say.
If you are doing spine loaded exercises like squats, then do a dead hang exercise to lengthen out the spine. Just grab an overhead bar with 2 hands and hand for as long as you can, lengthening out all of your muscles.

Age is not an excuse not to go to the gym. You need to look at the risk to benefit scale. If you are going to get more benefit from going than not going, then go. I don’t regret, nor do I have any negative experiences lifting through childhood, and my teen years.
People say that going to the gym will stunt their growth. This is not the case. They think this because of loaded spine exercises, and how it will compress the spine. As I’ve said, do a dead hang to lengthen the spine, and avoid spine loaded exercises is you’re anxious.
Believe it or not, after I did squats for 10 years, I started doing dead hangs, and I actually ‘stretched’ another 1.5cm over a couple months. That make no medical sense, but that’s what happened to me

What Are Play Gym For Babies?
Baby gyms are entirely different from those of adults. This is suitable for even a 6-month- old baby. A baby learns to control his/ her muscles, know about the surroundings and improve communication skills.
It is not a dedicated place where you can take your baby to exercise. It's somewhat like a doll house - a soft mat beneath and two arches suspended overhead for supporting toys that hang. Some also have light and music enabled baby gyms. These allow sensory stimulation along with providing other mental and physical benefits. So when you are giving your baby some new and interesting things to see, touch and feel, you are helping them develop basic senses.

What Is The Right Age To Join Gym?
When it comes to adults, there's no right or best age for a gym workout. A person can start working out at the gym whenever he/she feels appropriate. But for kids, the right age to join the gym can vary from person to person. Some people prefer strength training, so kids as young as 12 or 13 can start with it. However, a trainer always needs to be present for supervising the activities.
Each gym has their own permissible age criteria. But if you are worried that gym training can restrict your child's development and growth, then it's quite the opposite. Height, weight and other growing parameters depend upon the nourishment your child is getting from his/her diet along with the genes.
When kids are a part of the sports activities, it's mandatory for them to undergo gym training. Body building becomes another aspect of their session. So both kids and adults can start with gym workouts whenever they feel it's necessary. There just needs to be a professional trainer for guiding them throughout.
Age Limit For Body Building Competition
Each competition has its own eligibility criteria. So, depending upon the competition, one can start with their body building lessons. However, body building also called as strength training should be done at a moderate level for younger people and the weights can be increased for experienced adults. However, to remain safe is the ultimate aim and what follows next are the guidelines given by the fitness trainer.
