Extremely disrespectful adults. The Atmosphere when owned by Jim tighe was welcoming and fun, but since the recent new ownership, the atmosphere has turned toxic. They degrade other gymnasts and coaches in front of their own gymnasts at practice, And Their only priority is winning. They do not care for the gymnasts as individuals in any aspect. They were told to work through injuries on several occasions because all they care for is the score and not their well-being. It was clear who they favored and ignored all others. Mckayla is an example of someone who should be able to work with children. Her teaching methods resulted in all of her gymnasts in tears on a daily basis. This environment is unhealthy and unsuitable for children. Do not recommend.

Under New Management and still going strong. I feel good about my little going here for preschool, day camp and gymnastics. When she went to Kindergarten registration she was ahead in all areas. I attribute her school readiness directly to Mrs. Melissa. She adores her teachers. Ms. Teah has been amazing. I watched the transition from owners who were adored in the community to new owners and it went as seamless as possible. The school is structured and definitely wears out a hyper active child. She loves her friends and looks forward to going. I watch teachers love on kids when they are having a tough day and discipline them in a positive manner when a kid needs it. If you are reading these reviews to decide whether or not to bring your little one here, in my opinion they are in great hands and warm hearts.

My Fiance and I were members of the Adult Gymnastics Class for 5 months. We were excited to be a part of it, as gymnastics was something we had always wanted to explore. It quickly became apparent that the instructor wasn't up to the task. Every class followed the same formula of uninspired warm up, stretch, and "free time." We were never given drills to practice, and we were given little instruction. During this free time, the instructor would sit and chat with a few of the students while ignoring the rest of the class. Any requests for guidance were treated as rude interruptions into a private conversation, and the guidance that was given was vague. The teacher was incapable of demonstrating any of the techniques due to an adolescent injury, instead relying on an advanced student to show the rest of the class how things were done. There are talented instructors at Gem State Gymnastics, and when they participated in, or guest taught, the class we learned quite a bit. Unfortunately, none of their truly talented staff teach the adult gymnastics class.
I attempted to speak with management on multiple occasions about this issue but was given wrong or disconnected numbers. Every time I called their mainline, management was unable to take my calls and never responded to my messages. This repeated behavior made it clear to me that management doesn't care about customer complaints. I can't speak for the quality of the other classes at Gem State Gymnastics, but the Adult Gymnastics Class, in its current form, is a waste of time if you aren't willing or able to teach yourself using their gym equipment.

My 4 yr old and 2 yr old each have a morning class here and they get so much exercise they fall asleep by noon. Great teachers that keep the kids going the whole class time. Also you don't have to buy special clothes to be in the class like some negative dance class experiences I've had at other places.

The men's team coaches are very good coaches. Not big on the administrative details or communication, but love the Gym nonetheless! My 9 yr old son is thriving in this environment.

I am so glad that we found Gem State Gymnastics. We tried two other gyms before coming to here. After experiencing the negative atmosphere at the other two gyms I am incredibly grateful to have found Gem State. Every single one of the coaches that we have met at Gem State Gymnastics Academy has been very positive and kind to our daughter. Our daughter is in the cheerleading program here and has also taken gymnastics classes. Gem State puts a huge emphasis on making sure that the coaches make the classes a positive, self esteem building experience, and it shows. Our daughter's self esteem is rising, she knows that her coaches care about her and she is having an absolute blast there. The whole staff is down to earth and sincerely friendly. Their coaching is quality and they must be doing something right - because they sure win a lot of trophies. : ) Bottom line, they're great with kids here. I wouldn't go anywhere else and I think they're one of the best gyms in the nation. The only thing that's tough is that they are far away from where we live, but to me - they're worth the drive.

I had the opportunity to talk with someone at the front desk about the programs offered and found her very short, and what seemed irritated, over my questions.
I don't know about gymnastics nor the business and I assumed a conversation was not unrealistic.
After being dismissed a couple of times, by her being pulled away by other issues, I finally just left. Ended up at a competitor, whose service was exceptional!
You should really work on your customer service and remember the people you have at the front should reflect the best of your business and your philosophy.

My daughter goes to daycamp and preschool here. She is in love with this place and has been since day one. I have come at different times of the day and the staff is amazing! I can leave my kid here and not worry that she is going to be well cared for and content when I pick her up. She is always busy with activities and fun! The gym and school is very clean.
