California Gymnastics Academy

This place is a rip off. The instructors have no interest in the kids and are not teaching them anything. Spent a year there, but zero progress. The kids ended up learning more from their friends playing around in the park.

Great place, nice coaches

We had a great time here for many years. All the instructors are great!

This is a great place for children to learn gymnastics!

I was looking for gymnastics/tumbling to introduce to my toddler and called this academy. After several unanswered phone calls, several unanswered emails, I figured this place is not managed very well. I don' t think I can trust a place that can't return a phone call (three weeks of trying to get a response via phone and email) to teach my kid the basics of gymnastics. I will look for a professional location to enroll my son and happily spend the money to do so.

My daughter had been here for about 2 years before the pandemic. She loved this place and I also agree that this is a good place in general.One thing I'd like to warn you if you're about to put yours to a competition team at CGA at any level and have no experience or information about what you're doing. Once your kid starts a competition team, there're lots of commitments to the parents. CGA hosts several meets (gymnastic competition) per year. Many gyms around bay area come to CGA for the competition and they, by all means, need many workforces to run the event including parking, setup, teardown, cleaning, admission, ticket sales, snack bar, award, announcer, music and etc etc. They ask the parents to volunteer for all of them. Unfortunately, there's no option like volunteer or donation which means every parents have to come and take at least one volunteer spot. Yes they count everybody check in/out. This was a big burden to me and some other parents who stopped sending theirs to CGA. You better keep that in mind.

I had my daughters here for a couple of years when they were between the ages 2-5 and felt it was the best program in the area. We tried a couple others in Livermore, one of which closed down shortly after we joined, and the other we had to leave due to scheduling. At any rate, the classes at CGA are very appropriately suited to the age and skill level of the child and they have the perfect balance of keeping things under control and understanding that kids at very young ages are still learning how to follow instructions. My children gained confidence of their bodies and developed great body awareness for their ages, and also just had a lot a fun. They decorate the younger kids' area each month with a new theme, and really make it fun, while developing early gymnastics skills. The teachers care about the kids and the management is very invested in the sport of gymnastics. My younger daughter is pretty particular about people and we only had one teacher she was reluctant to go with; occasionally the class size became a little large, but they definitely made an effort to bring in extra help when this happened. We were really sad to leave CGA and only left because we were moving out of the area.

Average gymnastics centre for gymnasts in Livermore . Over priced . Short staffed .Very few trainers available . You might enroll with a different trainer but they tend to change trainer without parent approval . Advanced level training provision only for select few gymnasts. The owner seems to be unprofessional . Well equipped. They have a buy in snack bar for kids . Summer camps and pizza parties for kids at extra price .The upper section is a spacious sit out area for parents to work or view the gymnasts.Children are usually shouted at by some Coaches and the whole team is unfriendly . Overrated and over hyped .

It’s awesome
