A woman named Gretchen was rude and snapy, definitely not kid friendly.
I'm not sure how I feel about this place, I had a party here for my son but nobody ended up showing. So they gave me some free gym classes because they felt bad, which was very nice. Unfortunately I know the classes run pretty high in price and I was going to continue to pay for future classes, but every instructor iv met for the gym bug class has had very little patience and they always have an attitude if the kids dont do what they want. Mind you these are three year olds. I understand having to watch 8-12 kids at that age is hard, but also your job. I'm not very pleased. Iv seen eye rolling and close enough to call aggressive grabbing of not only my child but other children when not where they are suppose to be.
This is an amazing gym rtge coaches are awesome and your kids can learn a lot here
Edited to reflect the kind response of the staff. We've had varied experiences here at many bday parties, and the staff really is usually great. I think the experience could be improved by staff giving very clear expectations to the children and parents who attend birthday parties. Thank you!
Both my daughter and son have had lessons at NAAG. The coaches and staff have all been great to work with! Would recommend NAAG to anyone looking to teach their child gymnastics!

LONG REVIEW ALERT: As both a teacher and as a parent myself, I have a really low tolerance for adults who talk down to children repeatedly. Unfortunately, that is just the experience my husband and I witnessed throughout an entire birthday party at NAAG. I've been to several birthday parties at NAAG with my children, so I knew what we were getting into, and the employee--whose name I understand may have been Kayla--and her lack of professionalism and demeanor really came as a surprise, and unlike what I've seen from NAAG before. Walking in, the new space after their recent remodel was so lovely, I was definitely impressed. Once we joined the party, it was immediately clear that there were a LOT of kids (20-25ish) and one staff member. The parents were almost all sitting on the provided seating, and at first, I was one of the only parents following one of my kiddos onto the gym floor. After about 10 minutes of this, the staff member yelled toward the parent seating area, "Can I get some parents to come onto the floor because there are 25 kids here?" I thought this was funny/odd to just yell out, but the parental presence certainly made sense with all those kids. About seven parents awkwardly moved to stand out on the gym floor. As I observed the rest of the party, I wasn't sure of this employee was just rude, or if she didn't normally work with kids, but she preferred to yell vague criticisms of children's "wrong" behavior at them, rather than making any clear expectations (for parents or kids) beforehand. Since there are no clear "party expectations" explained/ posted for any specific equipment in the two main areas, many party-goers are figuring this out by logic/trial and error. My husband and I both spent most of the gym time out watching our kids with the rest of the party, and we overheard this employee several times speaking to kids with gems like "Don't jump on that, that's not a mat, it's a WALL" (talking about a dividing wall literally made of MATS); "That rope isn't for swinging, it's for CLIMBING, you're too big to swing from that" (to a girl who looked about 10... and 30 feet away, there is a rope used for swinging that looks exactly the same as said rope); when a child asked, "can I use these rings?" she said, "no, that rope is there for a REASON" (a rope tied to the rings hung down just perfectly in a younger child's reach). After eating, kids were (very reasonably) told not to come back to the gym until they washed their hands. My three year old came out and said excitedly, "I washed my hands!" at which point the employee responded, "well, you still need to wash your FACE" and then stood at the gym door telling several other children to go back and wash their faces. A lot of this rudeness could have been prevented by simply giving kids a chance to understand clear expectations. Only after someone was mildly hurt did some clear expectations for jumping into the foam pits emerge; prior to this the kids were simply yelled at several times to "be safe." One was asked to sit out and take a break, with the employee saying, "You didn't listen after I said three times to wait and be safe." However, I had just watched this child carefully wait and watch for her "turn" before jumping, but since kids were jumping from multiple areas without any guidelines, someone else had jumped at the same time from another spot without the child knowing. This child, now ashamed and crying, had done her best to follow the employee's vaguely shouted "instructions" and was genuinely confused about what she had been "told three times" and why she was singled out. When, over cake/pizza, I overheard this same employee loudly gossiping that she had been asked to cover someone else's "birthday parties" and didn't seem happy about it, needless to say I was not surprised. This employee should not be assigned to work kids' birthday parties. We often did "No-school" day care at NAAG as well (won't be doing this in the future) and I certainly would not entrust my kids for that type of care after seeing them being consistently talked down to.
This place has a lot of equipment including a foam pit.

Well I would love to go and take my son here for his birthday but they will not answer their phone Ihave been trying for a week.
I have had and attended multiple children's birthday parties here. Every time I have left, my children are happily sweaty and worn out. It is a great place to hold a birthday. During the winter they keep it a little cooler, sometimes too cold for the parents hosting the birthday party. Two birthday parties can be held here, one on the "pirate ship" side and the other in the gymnastics area, Halfway through the scheduled time, they switch. Staff are very interactive with the kids on the gymnastic side they do fun activities that my kids have always seem to enjoy.
The gymnastics program here is incredible! The coaches are knowledgeable and friendly, and are very interactive and engaged with the kids. It's clear to tell they love what they do and have a passion for the sport. Absolutely fantastic!
Our daughter took gymnastics classes here for about a year and she and I loved it! The coaches are all so talented and friendly. We had to take her out for the last year because we moved but as soon as we are back in Eugene she will be going back there. Definitely recommend to all parents.

The place for the little ones to have fun and healthy ways to use their energy, while learning gymnastics
