Gym America

Gym america,nnI’ve got a couple of things to say about this establishment. I attended when at a different location when I was a child. My mom didn’t love it. We attended one season, and moved on to a new gym. Now as a new generation I wanted to give them another chance. I’m currently bringing my kids here (20+ years later). Due to convenience and location, it’s working for us for now.nnYou should know about their policies before signing your children up for classes here. Are they a super clean gym, and very strict about their cleaning policies? Yes.nnAs a single parent, it can become difficult. Luckily my children have classes on the same day. But if they didn’t, you are not permitted to bring a sibling in the waiting room unless they do in fact have classes on the same day. One parent allowed per family. So if your kids have classes different days, you have to budget for a babysitter in combination for classes (almost $200 monthly for two kids attending weekly, plus cost of babysitter). They will kick you and your child out of the waiting area unless they have a class that day.nnThey encourage parents to wait out of the lobby, even for preschool (ages 3-4). They encourage to download an app to watch them, yet it’s spotty and do not currently have a video option for preschool classes. If you are comfortable with leaving your young child with them, without being able to see them in any way during their class, then this will be for you.nnTheir policies are strict. Cannot arrive more than 5 minutes prior to class. Even if your child has to use the bathroom, it’s proudly frowned upon and you will be told so upon arrival. For all parents, we know that can be difficult. My children like it so far, our family has been attending for a few months.nnIf you have kids with classes on different days, just plan to budget for a babysitter. And for sitting in a dead quiet lobby, where family is discouraged for staying, and watching their kids who are attending class. It’s unfortunately not a warm, welcoming establishment from what we have seen thus far.nnWith all that being said, the coaches we’ve worked with are fantastic with the kiddos and do a great job! Most of the front desk staff is professional and very friendly and polite, and do the best they can at voicing and enforcing the companies policies.

My preschooler has been taking classes at Gym America for 6 months and she loves it. Coach Jamie is amazing with the littlest kids; she's funny and silly all the while teaching gym skills and helping them learn to take turns and listen. The staff, coaches and students all wear masks and stay distanced from each other. The check-in process is streamline and the facility is spotless. As soon as instructional classes resume I will enroll my first grader here too. Thank you!

Love Gym America! This is our 9th year as a part of the GA family and we have been consistently happy with our experience, both from the gymnast and parent-of-gymnast perspectives. Everyone we work with at the gym, from the coaches to the gym owners to the staff members, are so professional, caring, and dedicated to the well-being and success of our daughter as a gymnast and as a person.

We love Gym America! My daughter has been a part of the GA family for 9 years. I think the thing that the GA team does best is handle adversity. They impressed me with the way they used the Larry Nassar case to empower the kids to use their voice, and now they have been ROCK STARS in handling the pandemic. I literally trust them with my kid's life. I'm so grateful for the influence the coaches have been my daughter's life. I highly recommend them to everyone I know.

Gym America has amazing coaches that have helped my daughter not only grow as a gymnast, but also helped her gain confidence. They have also taken the health and safety of the students seriously and are actively updating protocols to meet current situations.
