Aerials Gymnastics

Our family just moved from the panhandle of Florida to Colorado Springs. We were referred to this gym by the coaches and owner of our daughter's previous gym. We had high expectations coming out here and Aerials Gymnastics did not disappoint. Our daughter has made so much improvement in her skills in just a few weeks since arriving. We are looking forward to seeing what competition season brings. So far great gym and great coaches. I'd also say the award wall speaks for itself.Update: The booster club is fantastic. The amount of involvement of the parents is amazing. It shows support for the girls as a whole. They host a local meet every year at the Broadmoor and it is a whole event for the girls to include entertainment and fun afterward.

We've been going here for gymnastics and parkour since July 2022. Parkour is just free play, very little instruction is going on and some kids are mean and bullying goes unnoticed unless you the parent speak up.Gymnastics is definitely more structured, but my daughter has had 4 coaches since we began. Classes have been canceled due to either holidays or their own events, and there is no reimbursement. They offer "open gym" which is not instructor led, nor what I'm paying for and it even gets canceled sometimes. If you miss a class because of any reason there is no make up option.There are no beginner classes for boys, so if you aren't already doing flips and comfortable on bars, go somewhere else, you won't even get into a class. We pay almost 300/mo, come twice a week, and my daughter still struggles to do a cartwheel and my son has only learned 2 skills - 3ft jump and 4ft jump. Definitely not worth the cost.

Our kids have been going here for 3 years now. Their coaches have been so professional! Our daughter went from being uncoordinated (sorry, it’s true) to doing cart wheels, all kinds of bends, and having great balance. It’s given her a huge increase in self esteem that other sports just haven’t. I’m saying this as she’s literally climbing the rope to the top of the main floor :-)Our son does parkour and has a blast.The coaches do a wonderful job bonding and encouraging the kids. Eevie specifically has been great.Thank you!

I have had my daughter at aerials since she was three. She loved it until she became a silver gymnast. When she got her coach she started to hate gymnastics but pushed through because of her friends. This happened from early November to now (august 2021). The thing that made her hate this coach was when she got political with the team. This coach also gave my daughter a panic attack in practice when she was going through a really hard time in her life. She would not leave my daughter alone about doing this skill she just kept telling her, you need to do it, just do it, your not doing it right. This terrified her and caused her to have a panic attack. And a coach should never give a child ant sort of mental or physical pain. Now she has never hated gymnastics more because this coach would not mover her up even with all the necessary skills. Instead the coach said she was not consistent enough while there were other girls who did not have all the skills needed to move up who got moved up. This was heartbreaking for my daughter because she had worked really hard all summer to move up. This all happened because a coach did not like her. So moral of the story is at this gym it really depends on the coach you have. After 10 years of being at this gym we have had many amazing coaches. But just this one has ruined my daughters love for gymnastics.

My daughter loves her teacher and always comes home excited about new tricks she has learned! Her teacher pushes her to try new things, and her overall flexibility and strength has increased in our 6 months with Aerials.

We enrolled my daughter here months ago. The experience has been great in terms of coaching. My updated rating is reflective of the customer service.We pay our monthly registration by auto payment. My wife lost her card and ordered a new one, therefore the transaction failed. An email was sent the day the transaction failed. My wife missed the email ( working mom of 3 with a newborn). Within 6 days after no phone call or notification that they would be doing so, they not only dropped my daughter from her class, but also replaced her spot. 😳 Who does that? My wife showed up with my daughter and the front desk worker notified her that today would be my daughter’s last day.This communicates that children are nothing more than a debit card transaction OR that there was someone more important that they wanted to be in my daughter’s class than my daughter who is a minority. I’m hoping they will respond and do the right thing and/or update their communications process to notify parents and customers that your child will literally be kicked out of the gym in a short window between classes if something goes wrong with their payment.**UPDATE: spoke with Jeri —front desk manager and she informed me that there is option for different day for my daughter to continue enrollment. Their month to month policy is weird, but that’s their rule. If you miss a payment for whatever reason, your child is removed from the class within two days! 😳

As others have shared, if your child is not naturally gifted or already trained, dont even bother. The coaches her are rude and unprofessional. I kept letting my daughter attend because she liked it but she only improved on a few areas do to the lack of hands on teaching, there was little to no direction from coaches. Coach Heather was the worst and the reason we left, I would have had words with her but she went on leave and was temporarily replaced, but she needs to find a new job, she seems miserable. They give out these good job cards after class, well I should say they give these to the kids that already have the skills everytime no one else, you should be careful with that before you get a lawsuit. Stay away!

I grew up in PA and am a former level 9/10 gymnast who went on to coach in various locations across the country after graduating. When it came time to select a gym for my own daughter in a brand new state years later, I was looking for a very specific type of program due to my personal experience in the sport and having coached at multiple gyms (which gave me a true understanding of the philosophy and business aspect of gyms). Aerials had everything I was looking for - a caring and knowledgeable team of coaches who were capable of instilling a love of the sport while developing a well-rounded athlete not just physically but also emotionally and mentally. My daughter started in the rec program and went on to compete for Aerials during our time in Colorado. Now that we have relocated out of state for my husband’s job and to a new gym, I can easily say that she is a superior gymnast because of her time at Aerials. From the coaches to the supportive group of parents to the front desk staff, every aspect of this gym is top notch. Whether you’re looking for your child to learn basic coordination and skills while having fun burning off some energy or to become a competitive gymnast, you won’t find a better place than Aerials.

I grew up as a gymnast at Colorado Aerials for years. It was by FAR the best competitive gymnastics experience I could have asked for. I made lifelong friends and my coaches always pushed me to my best. Recent curriculum, staff, and program changes at Aerials make for an even better experience— there’s no surprise they are highly regarded as one of the best gyms in the state. Even now as a coach at Aerials I feel I have opportunities to grow and I love having a bond with every gymnast I have the privilege of coaching. It’s great to see a gym that can balance fun and safety with a stellar curriculum and coaches who are encouraged to learn new things and ask questions whenever they need to. This gym is a great after-school activity for not only parents who want to see their child learn correct technique in a fun, controlled environment, but also for kids who are eager to learn and are looking to get some energy out!

Uninterested coaches, especially at the younger levels. Not hands on. Barely pay attention to the kids 6 and under. Don’t offer instruction or help kids that are struggling. Not enough emphasis on proper form and protecting the neck. Seem to only focus on favorite naturally talented kids. But even then enthusiasm for teaching and the students is not existent. We have been coming for 5 months and neither of my kids actually have fun. Possibly an instructed specific issue. I keep hoping the instructor will improve but it’s like she is bored out of her mind and she spends more time talking to other coaches than paying attention to the kids in her class. It’s shocking.
