Houston Gymnastics Academy

Our daughter has been a part of the new team with Coach Tessa and absolutely loves it. Tessa is so positive, always smiling and such a great coach for these girls. My daughter truly loves going to gymnastics and being in Coach Tessa’s class.

We love our 3-4 year old gymnastics class! Miss Andrea, is so great with the kids and very patient with my energetic son. My son is always sad to leave because he has such a great time! Definitely recommend!

We love love LOVE Coach Alyssa! My daughter gets so nervous about walking in to class, and Coach Alyssa always finds creative and thoughtful ways to engage her and make her feel special. She seems to genuinely care about the kiddos, and she notices and shows interest in little things like a new water bottle. Coach Alyssa is attentive to the kiddos’ needs and does an amazing job as a Coach drawing on their strengths. She’s a true asset to the team, and we hope to work with her for many years to come!

I will start with what I have loved about HGA. Coach Tessa has been great with my daughters' class. She is involved and a great cheerleader for the kids. She is invested in the girls and their routine. The reason I gave it a 3 star: 5 star for coach Tessa 1-2 star for HGA. Their classes are a cattle call for revenue and there are so many kids scrambling everywhere during classes that it feels like daycare. I appreciate they have started class to bring a level of competition - but there is no format for the kids to practice. If your child needs extra assistance in one skill, there is no format to do a private to master the skill. My daughter has been going to HGA and she has done well, however, they run this like a business vs investing in smaller classes that are focused on developing and growing the children and their individual needs.

We absolutely love having Coach Tessa as my daughter’s coach. She is great at coaching Team and getting them to pick up the skills quickly!!

I was a competitive level gymnast here around 2007. Coaches were extremely abusive, especially Coach Chris. He’d line us all up, a group of 7-11 year old girls, and scream in our faces about how much we sucked until everyone was crying. This happened at least once a week. Sometimes equipment was thrown in anger. A grown man throwing violent temper tantrums and no one said a word. Absolutely ridiculous, hope it’s not like that anymore.

This is a great place to enroll your babies!! From the day we enrolled my sister the front desk was so straight forward and patient as we were new to all of this and taking in the information. from her first day the coaches Alyssa and Kayla have been so helpful to her and are overall great people!!! They have a good amount of children in their group but they know how to give time to each child and ensure they are learning. i recommend bringing your child here it’s a great experience for both the child and parent

Terrible business practices. Buyer beware. When you enroll in a class it auto enrolls you quarterly into future classes. No receipts sent. No warning of future enrollments. No statements that hey you have not been to class in 3 months. Didn’t catch the mistake until 2500$ later. Only option was to take make up classes which we would also be charged a drop in fee for.

I am one of Coach Charis' students I 100% recommend her she is an awesome coach and will always be there for you when you need her the most. She is recommended for everyone!!

BUYER BEWARE!!!!! I WOULD GIVE ZERO STARS IF I COULD! My child has attended Houston Gymnastics Academy over the past several years. We did not enroll in the most recent spring 2024 session due to schedule conflicts. Recently, I received an email of a declined credit card transaction from HGA for a summer session. I had not enrolled my child in a summer session so I called to understand what the charge was for. I was told they had changed their processes recently and I was actually enrolled in an auto enrollment. Not only had they tried to auto enroll/automatically charge my credit card for a summer session, my child had automatically been enrolled in the spring 2024 and my credit card had been charged without my knowledge or a receipt sent. The only reason I received a notification for the summer session was because my card number had changed the transaction was declined. I never received any kind of notice of auto enrollment and never actively elected to participate in an auto enrollment plan. I was told that they had sent multiple emails and they could see that I had opened them. I never received these emails nor did I even receive a receipt for the spring session charge. They would only offer me a refund for the remaining classes in the session and a facility credit for the classes that had already passed and I would also be charged a $50 drop fee for a class I never enrolled my child in and she had never attended. When I asked to see all of the documentation they had showing I signed an agreement for auto enroll, a receipt for the Spring charge, documentation of the emails they say I opened etc. the manager then said he did not actually have the documentation. After posting on social media I realize now that this is something that has affected multiple people in the community and I am not alone. This is clearly a very intentional and deceptive business practice that needs to be reported and stopped.
