Bothell Gymnastics Club

I went here for preschool play time and my child had fun. It was big and fairly open, and most people respected the rules. My issue is cleanliness on the part of other parents. My high-risk child is now sick with an upper respiratory illness and I have no doubt it is because she was in the foam pit with a kid who was dripping snot and coughing all over the place. I couldn't believe that mom would bring her kid to play with others when she was clearly ill. It's lazy, disrespectful parenting, and it's part of the reason our children's hospitals ICUs are packed to the brim and nurses are quitting left and right. This is not the gym's fault at all, they posted signs about staying home when sick and offered hand sanitizer in multiple places. It's just so frustrating that some parents put other kids at risk because they are too lazy to keep their own kids at home.

This place is horrible. In my kid’ third classincluding the trial class, her feet got injured by the hazard existed in the gym ground due to their unfulfilled safety responsibility. This dangerous sharp metal bottom I uploaded the picture should not be there and I do not know how long it has been there like this. I asked for the accident record and received it. After that, I communicated with them via emails. All the emails were uploaded here in order to let people know that, the owner are trying to deny their responsibility and still evident me that they take the safety issue very seriously. If they value safety, how can that kind of hazard exist in the ground. Safety is not to fix the hazard after someone got injured, but most importantly to keep the environment safe in advance. I was so disappointed by Keala the owner’ attitude during this whole communication process. She was not willing to admit their fault and apologize. What I requested was a formal apology and receive no response at this point. This place is definitely not a good place for kids to learn. If nothing happens, everyone is happy. If injury happens, what they do and say just prove what kind of people they are. Please read all the emails if you have time.

We only go for preschool play and it is awesome!!! Probably for 6 months now.

We have tried out a few gymnastic places in the area and we have loved Bothell Gymnastics Club. It's clean and welcoming. I love how they do their registration and tuition payments online on their website. It's very convenient. My daughter loves her class and her sweet teacher who you can tell loves what she does. As a parent I love the parent viewing area. Parents can sit on bleachers or one of the tables. It's easy to watch my daughter the entire time and for her to see me. I bring my special needs son with me to watch my daughter and I love that it's wheelchair/stroller accessible.

I am extremely pleased with the quality of the lessons. I feel my daughter, who is a beginner, is learning the fundamentals of gymnastics. The instructor allows each child in the class to learn at their own pace while consistently teaching something new. I think everyone at BGC is doing a great job under the new covid guidelines and I will definetly be returning for future lessons.

Our daughters have been going here for the past two years. We love the facility and the coaches are excellent! I recommend BGC to all of our friends who are interested in gymnastics, so thankful to have a club like this in our community.

My daughter has participated in the rec gymnastics classes at BGC for just over a year now & we couldn't be happier. She has grown in strength & confidence - this is now her favorite sport!! When she was much younger, she participated in gymnastics at a different gym & as soon as she was bumped to a pre-team class, she was intimidated by the intensity of the instruction & the size of the other girls she was added to a group of older girls. She quickly switched gears & participated in other activities for a few years, but last year wanted to try gymnastics again even if it meant starting at the beginning. Bothell Gymnastics has been wonderful for her. ALL of her instructors have been positive, supportive & safety-conscious, but the most important asset to this gym is they do not push kids to the next level "just because." Kids must earn the opportunity to move forward by proving they have the physical strength to tackle the skills taught in the next class level - this is so important in a day & age when kids are given trophies & ribbons willy-nilly and have an unfounded expectation to move forward, not to mention that it highlights the focus on safety at this gym! My daughter is PROUD when she earns a spot at the next level & she has the physical strength to support her. Keala, Adrienne & all of the instructors are amazing!! They also have started a boys' program, which is fun to watch as it grows. In short, I highly recommend this studio as a place for kids to grow in confidence & strength. :

My daughter, who is 4 years old, was instantly welcomed. She is full of energy and had been hard to get her to focus on one task. She is so excited to go here because all of the staff has been so welcoming, patient, and genuinely seem like they love what they do. I would recommend this gymnastics club to everyone.

I have no idea what eco friend is talking about. We have visited a few gyms and BGC has the most competent coaches. Also, BCG's offers competitive pricing which I consider to be on the low end. More importantly, I trust the coaches with my daughter. You cannot place a price on TRUST. I cannot say the same about other gyms in our vicinity. When my daughter was only four, I had to take her to the ER because she was not properly supervised which resulted in her climbing up to high beam and falling off. Yes, she was not adequately supervised because the other gym had 20 kids running around the gym like wild monkeys. BGC is an incredible gym with so many positive aspects to include coaches that genuinely care about their students. Don't let eco friend tell you otherwise. Sydney
