My daughter was very excited to start gymnastics(beginner). She was literally counting down the days to attend her first class. She went to her first class and walked out almost crying. She told me the instructor(Colleen) was so demanding and made her feel uncomfortable several times. FYI this was her first time trying gymnastics so of course she wasn’t going to know everything! At the end of the class she gave all the students a “stamp” on their hand and she gave it to the girl in front of my daughter, skipped my daughter and continued to give it to the other girls. This of course made my daughter feel very sad/uncomfortable. I’m not sure if she treated my daughter differently because of her skin color. At the end of the class she asked my daughter if her mom “spoke English?” That same night I called to tell them she would no longer keep going. I asked for a refund since she literally only attended 1 class. I Spoke to the owner Erin and she refused to give me a refund. I understand there are policies, but this was not my daughter’s fault at all! So I paid $97 for ONE class. It’s a shame that the owner tolerates this behavior. Will definitely not recommend!!

Wish I could give it 10 stars. These gymnasts are impressive and the coaches are amazing. It’s teaching my daughter discipline, team work, and building her confidence.

Absolutely great place for gymnastics or tumbling. I brought my daughter here to enhance her tumbling for cheerleading she is doing at school. She has improved so much. Coach Kelly is wonderful. She let my daughter know what she is doing wrong and helps her improve while praising what she is doing right. I cant say enough nice things about this place!

Coaches are unprofessional and seem to have a preference for certain kids but have a vendetta against others. The coaches will also blow up at the kids for no discernable reason, and create a very unpleasant environment. The coaches are grown adults – Please act like it, there is no reason high schoolers should be made to cry and quit because the coaches have a tantrum.

If your kid is serious about gymnastics or if they just need a fun activity that will teach them some cool moves and provide a great exercise this is the best place by FAR from any place I have ever seen, been to or heard about. The level they teach here is above anything any park district will have and it's actually cheaper if you do the math based on class time and frequency even if you belong to your park district. The couching staff is amazing and they pull all they can from these kids. Progression levels are earned and not just given cause you paid. All concerns are taken seriously and they really want your kids to be in the Olympics one day. I can't say enough good about this place but this is the one time that I can't find anything bad about a place in my review.

I started bringing my son who was just turning 2 last month a few months ago. Since then there have been 3 ( yes 3) different coaches. Also the classes are simply too big to give any one child any special attention. My two yr old is in a class full of 4 and 5 year olds and the latest coach seemed to be more into helping the kids that were advanced than helping my son with the simpler things...like jumping..If your child has some gymnastic background than sure, try this place out. NOT A PLACE FOR YOUNG BEGINNERS. You’ve been warned...

I like it here a lot. My kids have learned so much in the past year (they are 3 and 5) and my daughter is already moving up a level. They are organized and have great coaches.

I gave aspire three stars one because of how dirty the walk in area is where the little kids can play. It is so gross I won't even let my daughter touch that area. Secondly it smells like dirty hockey equipment in the whole place. Thirdly I think the class sizes are just way to big for her age group. The coach can't even keep an eye on the whole class or make sure they are doing the skill right,
