We were at another gym before Covid and did not like the experience. Since being at Zenith, the past almost 2 years, has been a great experience. When my daughter was in rec she had a blast and anytime we talked to the coaches about her skills they were kind and responsive. Since being on team she has progressed so much more and is not just learning about gymnastics. She is also learning positive values of determination, hard work, nutrition and strength, and so much more. I have and would highly recommend Zenith.

Poor coaching is evident in the health (both mental and physical) of their athletes and their scoring. If you want your kid to progress and not be constantly injured, look elsewhere. Much better coaching is easily available. Many of the glowing reviews of this gym came from their employees or the owner’s family. Beware.

Could not reiterate this more: The coaches at Zenith West Gymnastics are loving, talented and have a passion to offer all potentials for a gymnast to rise to her highest aspirations and goals. Our family has two daughters on the …

If people truly felt positively about the gym they would have written reviews long ago. Not to help the owner cover up a negative review she received . Seems as though someone has a guilty conscience, and needs to right a wrong . My friends …

It has been 9 months since we've joined the ZW family and my daughter has blossomed beautifully as a student athlete. Zenith West is her home away from home. Coach Josh and Coach Sarah have been vital to her growth and gains in confidence. I cannot leave out the beating of heart of ZW owner and Coach, Lacey. She is the girls #1 cheerleader with a huge heart and is always there for the families.

I have known the owner of this gym for more than three years, both as a coach and as a business person. She is ethical, responsible, and very supportive of her students and their families. I would not hesitate to recommend Zenith West to any family.

We LOVE Zenith West so much. Our daughter started team in August 2020 and we are treated like family. From the minute, we walked through the front door everyone treated us with RESPECT. Management was been amazing and the coaching staff goes above and beyond our expectations.

My daughter has been SO HAPPY here at Zenith West. As a competitive gymnast it is hard to find a place that has great coaches, staff, and athletes. It is hard to not become a "GYM Hopper" when you are unhappy with how a situation is handled or if your gymnast cried at a hard practice. But what I will say is that Head Coach, Rec Coaches, and Athletes care about my daughter and the program they have created; each is striving to produce the best well rounded athlete that is confident, emotionally stable, and shows support to the team.As earlier reviews have stated that this gym's head coach/owner is rude and does not care about individuals... I have yet to see this. My interaction with her has been wonderful, she listens to concerns, gives constructive criticism, shows compassion and empathy where needed. What she will not tolerate is being bullied by a parent or an athlete. And honestly, I can't say I blame her. I would not put up with that either.Gymnastics at ANY level is the most critical sport.... you want advancement you have to prove you not only have the skill but also the ability to take correction and be respectful when you receive it. As a parent it is your job to receive that for your child as well, it is not your place to demand your gymnast be moved up to the next level because you watched a youtube video and feel they are ready... it is the coaches choice every single time.All in All - Great Gym, Great Coaches, Great Parents, and Great Program!
