Naydenov Gymnastics

We recently switched my daughter to team at Naydenov, and I cannot begin to express my gratitude towards the entire team here. First, the new facility is GORGEOUS! It’s so large, but never starts to feel crowded. There’s ample seating for parents upstairs. As the mom of a kiddo in a wheelchair, I also am extremely appreciative of the accessibility of the facility. Plenty of handicap spaces and an elevator to access the mezzanine viewing area.The staff is one in a million. Alexis, the lead compulsory coach cares so much about her kids and it shows. My daughter has already felt so welcome and would live at the gym if she could. The coaching is top notch. They’re great at explaining and also challenging the kids. Kevin, the owner is also very kind and clearly loves his gym families and goes out of his way to make sure everyone is taken care of.We never experienced rec here so I can’t speak to it, but from what I’ve seen those kids are beyond excited to go to class, and leave with huge smiles.Our switch to Naydenov has been one of the best choices I have made for my daughter. Every aspect of Naydenov makes it well worth our 1+ hour drive from the west side of the Portland area.

My daughter has been a rec/pre team gymnast at Naydenov for just under a year and we have really loved our experience here. This is our second gym and we have no plans of leaving. The coaches & Naydenov staff work hard to provide each gymnast with a safe, fun and equal experience. Highly recommend!

If you care about your childs mental health do NOT let your child join the Xcel team. The head coach does not care about your child. She has her favorites and it will be obvious. My daughter was bullied all season and ignored when she tried to talk to coaches.After several conversations with coaches and me about the issues it only got worse. Until these girls cornered her in the locker room and began harrassing her. I called and left a message with the coach and recieved several nasty text messages back. I tried talking to the owner and he talked over me the entire time. He assurd me it would be handled but I doubt it will. Dont waste your money.

This gym isnt properly cleaned, is under-staffed, and isnt safe. The open gym was chaotic and barley monitored most likely becuase their staff are all under the age of 16 besides the people at the front desk. Most of their staff members were rude aswell. It looks like somewhere people take their kids for cheap childcare.

I left my phone at naydenov and they found it right away even know it was hidden and we drove back and got it they were quick on it and honest 5 star rating they were very cool -Jackson thank you Addie and Jared ( idk if that’s spelled right) and he helped me learn a backflip very cool guy and gal

My son is 5 and has mild global growth delays with widespread hypotonia and retained reflexes. Special needs parents will know what all that means. I could not keep up with his exercises (I have health issues mysefl) and his OT suggested gymnastics classes.I choose Naydenov because of how easy it is to find a class (they have many), how affordable it is, and because of the high recommendation from my sister. I'm so glad I did! We have had the blessing of working with Ms. Adalee in a one-on-one basis (the other classmates haven't come to class yet so it's just the two of them).I can tell right away that the movements she does with him challenge his retained reflexes in multiple ways without being impossible for him to do. She teaches him with simple instructions, fun games, and is sometimes hands-on if he needs assistance. She's always very encouraging.I was really worried that the teacher would not be accommodating, or that he would be asked to do things he just couldn't, but none of those things happened and it's really just been lovely to go there every week. We both look forward to it.When he's worked very hard or hit a milestone, she gives him a ribbon that he gets very excited about and shows to grandma and grandpa and he just really enjoys his time there.

I have 2 children learning gymnastics and their confidence has grown considerably in the time that they have been attending. They have so much fun and the staff is welcoming and supportive. Coach Chris has always been a pleasure to interact with whenever we are there and our kids are always excited to see him.I can see our family being with Naydenov for years to come and I’m excited to see the new facility when it’s operational

Breaks my heart to do this. We have been once this past Sunday and I will never set foot in there again.The staff was amazing and tried to do their best BUT with over 60 kids in there it was a hell of a job to keep an eye on everyone.1) This place is dirty. I am not complaining about the chalk that the gymnasts use and it’s all over the place, I am talking about the bathrooms…shoes, clothes, water bottles thrown on the floor. Very corner is filled with something…2) Shoeless kids running into the bathrooms and coming back onto the gym floor.3) There is absolutely no air filtration in there. None. 0%.There are heaters and ceiling fans but the air is filled with dust and chalk.4) The equipment is very old. Like very, very, very old.5) Huge spider webs around the windows….It breaks my heart to write this review because I know how talented and amazing the coaches are and my son had an amazing time this Sunday in there but I can not go back. Not even for free.Good luck on opening the new place. We’ve all been waiting for the past 4 years.

Staff here is incredibly rude and unwelcoming. Especially the front desk ladies. Their auto-pay system doesn’t work and they get upset with customers because they can’t figure out how to properly bill. The facility is so run down and the viewing area for parents is crowded and uncomfortable. I don’t recommend signing your kids up here, there has to be better options in Vancouver.

Do not take your kids here if they have special needs. I scheduled my sons birthday party here. I let them know my son has specail needs and that i would need to be on the floor to help him and they told me i could stand at the edge and watch but couldn't be on the trampoline to help and i could not go into the foam pit. I let them know i would respect safety rules and only have one at a time on the trampoline and they still said i couldnt take my turn on the trampoline or go in the foam pit. I let them know i was going to envite some of my sons friends who also have specail needs and that i couldn't envite them if they wouldn't allow their parents to be out there to help them. They said they stand by their rules. I asked to have the owner or a manager call me and they said they would and i never got a call back. Very hurtful that i can't bring my son who has autism to have a party here like any other kids just because they wouldn't allow me to help my son. Guess my money will go else where.
