This place works with toddlers up to teen adults. They've got a wide range from beginners to championship competitions.
Our son goes here for a specialized gymnastics class. The coaches are kind and patient with him. Always encouraging him to try new things and celebrating each new skill and success. We are so happy Athletic Edge offers such a great class with wonderful staff.
Great service & food. They also serve beer. They work fantastically with my duaghter and she loves it.
What a fantastic space, with a space for parents to watch, a cafe and classes for all ages. A Ninja warrior course and an adventure park coming soon. All indoors!
Great coaches and easy to ask questions as my daughter learns about gymnastics.
The place is little outdated, but my daughter likes her coach Leksi. Having lots of fun.

Crowded. I had to come for a gymnastics meet. The cost was crazy high, the seating was limited. Seems they are taking advantage of families. Charge so much, then have to stand for 3 hours to watch your child compete. If you want to pay to be punished, go to the dentist and get a root canal instead.

Great coaches, great classes our 4 year old loves this place
The coaches are good for the most part but they have a hard time noticing all of their students. The training area is often subject to extreme temperatures leading to closures. They do send emails very early to alert of things happening.
We have generally loved AE and recommended it to many friends. The instructors care (shout put to Coach Wendy) and the cost is reasonable. Some downsides are the limitations on class schedules, the overcrowding during certain hours (leading to it being hot & stinky, and a little chaotic), and lack of sufficient parking. They sometimes come off as disorganized (we were recently told to come in for a make-up on a day they were closed for a meet), but we have never had any real grievance. My sons have both benefitted from this program from a very young age, both physically in learning to understand and trust their bodies, but also mentally and socially in how to follow directions, take turns, and adhere to rules.
We've been taking our 3-year-old to Athletic Edge since he was about 16 months old. I love that you can get your kids enrolled in gymnastics as soon as they begin walking steadily. The experience has definitely contributed to his coordination and strength. The only downside is that the new building's floor plan is very open and they often have multiple classes going at once, so it's noisy and distracting. It's not as unbearably hot in the Summer though, so that's a plus. I would recommend Athletic Edge to any parent who wants to promote their child's fitness in a fun and friendly environment.
So much room, small classes, teachers are focused & kind, affordable too!
