Kentucky Gymnastics Academy

The coaches are great. Very exciting to see the little ones doing gymnastics.

We absolutely love KGA! Right when you walk in you see the happy kind smiling face of Amy at front desk welcoming us! Shannon the owner is amazing as well. They make our child feel like part of their family. They genuinely care for her and help her be the best she can be. We love all the coaches there too. Gymnastics has been so amazing for our child. It has helped her with everything in life like listening, strength, working hard, and self confidence. We highly recommend KGA!

I chose this facility due to the fact that it was presented as an autism friendly establishment. i have been looking for a program that offers gymnastics that is also autism certified. i signed her up for classes months ago, excited about her starting! I got there today and was very disappointed. The classroom instructor Shani Ramirez kind of brushed my child off once realizing she couldn’t follow directions as easily as the other 3 children in her group. And instead of talking to me or her and figuring out a way to ensure she got to participate with the group (because if she took the time to allow my child to kinda warm up to her, she would’ve listened with little to no resistance) she proceeded to take the rest of her class to their designated spot in the gym and move on with class. Leaving my daughter to roam free around the gym. Not once did she really try and interact with her not redirect her. It almost felt like to me that she didn’t want to be bothered with the responsibility of having a child with special needs in her group. I quickly retrieved my daughter from a DIFFERENT staff member who was instructing a separate group of children but had taken the time to bring my daughter to me. I had to take my child out of the gym kicking and screaming because she WANTED to be there. She was EXCITED to be there but unfortunately she was not welcomed with open arms. I am SO disappointed because I picked this gym specifically because it tailored to my daughters needs. I made it clear when registering her for the class that she is a 3 year old NON VERBAL autistic child. surely thought that the staff had some type of training, hence how they had received their autism certification. I was sadly mistaken.

My kids are in the ninja-parkour class. This was the third lesson and my kids sat for, no exaggeration, 54 minutes of a 60 minute “lesson”. When I asked why they were sitting so long my child said a lot of time was spent asking questions, and they were earning extra gym bucks (apparently they can turn them in at the end of the term for prizes). Despite there being two instructors, 35 minutes into the “lesson”, they then made all the kids sit while they tested-one by one- how fast kids could complete an obstacle course. More sitting while others had their turn. This took up the next 27 minutes. My kids only got to go 2-3 times each and my son completed each of his in well under 30 seconds. The last 3 minutes was free for all play. Completely unacceptable.

KGA is the best gymnastics facility in the entire region. The faculty is amazing. The facility is amazing. The management is amazing. I highly recommend it for all aspiring gymnast.

We have been with KGA for over 7 yrs and it has been a fantastic experience! From the coaches to the front office staff, everyone is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful! Very clean and positive environment!! Couldn’t ask for a better gym for my daughter!!

This is a family friendly competitive gym. Unlike some of the other gyms in the area are very aggressive verbally with their coaching techniques, KGA takes a different approach. The coaching team is supportive of their athletes while still pushing them to do their best.

So far we have only been going to open gym, but the facility and the employees have been great. Our kids love going there. We are considering taking classes there down the line.

KGA has been awesome. From the coaches to the office staff and owner/s everyone is welcoming and takes the time to get to know each family and gymnast. We have been going to KGA for 7+ years. The camps are great too, we know our kids are safe and cared for in a loving environment.

KGA has been an awesome place for my daughter. The owner and coaches care about the families of KGA and work with them to be successful and happy. Recently my daughter was injured and the owner personally called me that evening at the ER to make sure both my daughter and I were ok. They have continued to work with and support my daughter despite her injury and I appreciate the confidence she continues to get from every practice.
