Dardano's School of Gymnastics

Dardano's is a local treasure! I attended Dardono's as a kid in the early 90's and for half a decade, it was basically my home away from home. I went from beginner tumbling class to joining the team and traveling across the state and the region as a competitive gymnast. I learned life lessons, was challenged every day to get better, and got mentored by wonderful coaches. I'm fortunate enough to now be able to send my two kids to Dardano's, where they are lucky enough to be mentored by some of the same coaches I had as a kid. After 30+ years since entering those doors for the first time, it's pretty special for me to share that experience with my children, and to witness as they learn new skills and grow their self-confidence. This month Dardano's celebrates 40 years in business...as a family run establishment...in the heart of Park Hill...doing things the right way. Thank you for being such a big part of our lives! We love you!

I hate the write this, because we had an Ok experience in the past (I wouldn’t say good or great. But it was con the neighborhood and my kids were little). But recently I’ve had so many issues with Dardanos and it’s just not worth it anymore. It’s hard to get questions answered, they seem to make up random new rules, policies and charges and make you feel like you need them. It doesn’t feel great as a customer. Along with some questionable action by admin, teachers and parents, we’re switching studios and finding a more transparent and safe space for our kids.

Dardanos has consistently lost clients due to their weird pricing, Essex robbing families and their inability to manage their business. We’re the latest clients to leave and it couldn’t have come soon enough. I would advise everyone stay as far away from this business as possible. You will be annoyed and poorer while your children do not progress. They may have been the only option in town at one point but we have options now and people who know how to treat their clients.

Honestly he worst shop in town. While some teachers are ok the business it’s self is a joke. They’re rude, unprofessional and antiquated. The survive solely on their long term occupancy of the building in the neighborhood but I would absolutely recommend looking elsewhere. Dealing with the business is a nightmare and I wouldn’t give them another dime of my money, especially in this economy.

Instructors just sit around, no real instruction given ever. Parents drop off their kids and allow them to be disruptive, and takes time away from everyone else. Really overrated and not worth the price. We are looking now for other gyms

This place is great for kids - mine have been going here for a couple of years. But I have witnessed several parents (including myself) scratching their heads and complaining about their opaque pricing and fees - for instance, I was charged today an annual "disposal fee" of $48. I hope management takes a closer look at this and provides more transparency - we customers like to know the cost upfront.

These young athletes teaching the young kids class probably deserve a raise or two. The patience and dedication they've shown in just a few months here is awesome! Side note - stay and make sure your child behaves! These young adults are not parents or disciplinary figures.

Overcrowded. Newer inexperienced staff yelled at my niece for an innocent mistake of cutting in front of someone while less than 20 minutes later someone cut in front of her and nothing was said.Unless staff was yelling at my niece she was basically ignored during class and left unsupervised forcing her to practice on her own which was very dangerous considering three or four other classes were in session.I'm certainly not interested in paying $100+ per month to have my little one treated as if she is not welcome at a facility. We left with no desire to return.Two stars because a couple of the older instructors seemed genuinely nice to the kids.

Had a 6 year old's birthday party here...Oooh my goodness... the staff was amazing!!! They helped set up, did an INCREDIBLE job with the kids entertaining them with gymnastics, hide and seek, trampoline tricks, helped serve, clean up and even helped bring presents to the car!!!!! If you're looking for a place to have a youngsters bday...I WOULD GO HERE AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT!!! WELL DONE!!!

My son loves this place and so do I! He has grown so much since he started here 6 months ago. I love seeing his confidence grow. There's a really nice community atmosphere between all the parents while watching their kids, they've become friends. It's very affordable and believe me that means a lot to us. The coaches are awesome and are so good with the kids. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I can't recommend this business enough. We have had experiences with other gymnastics schools and it was not nearly the school that Dardanos is.
