I have two kids in the XCEL program at Golden Bear gymnastics and first enrolled one of my kids at Cal almost 9 years ago. It is a great program with kind, dedicated and motivational coaches. I highly recommend it!

Both of my girls have loved Cal Bear gymnastics. Both have done recreational and competitive gymnastics and enjoyed all of it. The coaches are great and the program is flexible. As a parent, it's so nice to be able to start and stop certain classes and do makeups when you live busy lives. The main reason both of our girls have had six packs since they were 6 years old is because of taking gymnastics at Cal Bears.

Just to be clear: this is a review of Golden Bear Gymnastics, a recreational and competitive program for kids 18mo-18y. There are a lot of things going on in this building that I am not reviewing, including: a pool, a snack bar, and the listed Cal Gymnastics Club (a program for 17+).

My daughter has been going to Golden Bear for a few years now and has really enjoyed it. The coaches have been great. Sometimes they switch around a bit in the recreational classes, but we've been to other gyms in the area and it's no more than we experienced at those gyms. I really appreciated how supportive and encouraging her coaches have been -- they seem to "get" her and are able to help her grow and gain a lot of confidence (and, of course, some pretty awesome gymnastics skills!).

As others have explained, there are recreational classes (ie. classes you sign up for on a monthly basis) and there are competitive teams. My daughter took classes here on and off for several years before really committing to gymnastics and trying out for the team. Now she's on the XCEL team (the less intense competitive track), which is a great fit for her and our family (great coaches, plenty of time in the gym, but time to be a kid, too).

I love being a Rec & team coach there. The kids work hard and are rewarded with self accomplishments

They actually have an assembly line of little gymnast in orderly fashion, with orderly water breaks, and a stern, yet still fun way of handling children with very short attention spans, and high volumes of energy. But they break the down in to manageable groups according to age, and each instructor gets there chance with each group. I commend them for the dugout style seating accommodations for the parents, but it's kind of stuffy, and a lil funky under there, but the hallway was perfect for kicking back and writing this review. Pretty decent setup for a Saturday activity for your child, and lots of parents to mingle with if you're interested in making new friends.

Great place for some laps. Never seems to get too crowded. In the hills surrounded by trees. (5 dollars to swim)

Our kids have been attending a variety of Golden Bear Gymnastics classes for just over a year. At every level and with every coach they have had fun. We give GB a big thumbs up for their emphasis on focus, paying attention, and hard work. Best pluses of this gym are the snack bar, adjacent track, and wifi access.

Review from C., 5 year old boy: "We learn different moves every day and they get funner and funner. My coach is really nice. " C gave this review after attending GB classes for just over a year.

We bring our son here for their parents' night out events, where you can drop your child off for a few hours for $35, IIRC. It's a great place to be - tons of gymnastics equipment, padding everywhere (for kids who tend to run into things) and cool staff. Parking/drop off/pick up is a nightmare during those times, though, but you get smart after a visit or two.
