Great coaches, my daughter loves going here ever since she was 4. Very fun classes with coaches that really have a passion for teaching the kids.

Awesome place for open gym time with the kids! Plenty of options for the kids to jump, run, climb, swing, flip and more!

My first review was really loaded and aggressive, and while it wasn't undeserved, I'm not really all that angry anymore. Yeah, this place was verbally abusive and occasionally physically abusive with "messing around" that was dangerously bordering on "manhandling". Making a girl watch as everyone else did exercises because she wasn't "brave enough" to do a certain dismount was horrible. But I have so many good memories with all my teammates. When I was competing there for a good 3 years, we used to do kid's dances and laugh along with the coaches. We ate desserts when people had birthdays and went on the trampoline to mess around on good days. I'm not angry anymore. I'm just sad. I wish the coaches didn't have an abusive side so I could've enjoyed it more. I miss gymnastics. I wish it hadn't caused me so much pain.

My daughter just finished her first session as beginner (5-6) year old. I am neutrally satisfied because I have nothing to compare it with. The teachers seemed to know what they are doing (all were very young)--but I am not trained in this discipline so I don't have a clue.My daughter made friends, had fun, and learned a little discipline with stretching, balancing, and core. She loved it.We are not committing to additional sessions until I have had the opportunity to look around the county/town at other gymnastic programs. Parents were able to view their kids from 2nd floor observation room (that was not disinfected in between sessions) and closed circuit TVs. The coaches NEVER had a conversation or feedback with the parents so you really have no idea how your child is actually progressing. The woman manning the front counter can come across abrasive and mean at times. There is absolutely NO COMMUNICATION WITH PARENTS ONCE YOU HAVE PAID. And ion like that. :(

My daughter who went there was extremely dissatisfyed. They made her do things that for her were very uncomfotable. Like 1 thing was jumping splits everytime she got in the car she cried it hurt mommie it hurts! She told the teacher and she told her "shake it off". I took her to the Dr( peds ) and she had a pulled muscle. We quit. It was not for us. Very very strict. To the point of painIt was clean. The stairs were hard to get up as a diabled person. I stayed downstairs. I liked the facility and the owner if the teachers were kinder and respected the children we would still be there. But it didnt happen.

We have tried several local gyms and have been very happy with Gymnastics Factory. For the same class price, our child had more time. Classes were small with more individualized attention. When my daughter hurt her arm and needed to take some time off, they refunded the sessions without question and wished her well. We are thrilled with the coaches and service and hope to be back very soon.

Coaches are excellent. My daughter has been going for five years and loves it. She has learned a lot and keeps striving to be the best. I would definitely refer friends and family to The Gymnastics Factory.

I wouldn't recommend it. Brought my very excited 5-year-old in to register for Ninja classes and the woman at the front desk had no idea what I was talking about. This is a class that has been recommended to me and is very popular. In fact, I believe there are 3 or 4 classes throughout the week.All she could offer me was a parkour class (my son has not ever done gymnastics and I wouldn't want him to go right into something like that!) so offering him a class he's clearly no ready for shows a complete lack of basic understanding let alone care or concern for the child taking the class.But asked about money and she knew that inside and out. Told me a couple of times at least about the $25 annual fee and made sure I understood very clearly that is an annual fee and MUST be paid.I'm so disappointed as we've been told by several people that my son would love this class, but we could not feel any less welcome when we visited, let alone get any clear answer as to when classes were available and when. Such a shame.

I've been coming to GF for years, I took classes and private lessons when I was younger and on their gymnastics team, and then took classes again in high school for cheerleading. I've never had a problem with any of the coaches or staff, and my cheer team switched from ULTIMATE ATHLETICS to stay at Gymnastics Factory. The switch was much cheaper, and the coaches gave us WAAY better results.Even after graduating I still come back for open gym, and still work on my tumbling with the coaches I've had for years. Even all the new people working there are super talented! The open gym is great, most of the boys that come are regulars and teach anyone who wants to learn new things. Privates are a lot cheaper than other gyms, and open-gym is cheap as well.
