Midwest Elite Gymnastics Academy

This place is HUGE. Very spreadout and is always busy. A little bit more expensive compred to other place but pretty well known in the gymnastics community and enthusiast

Do not send your kids here for Ninja Zone class or any class for that matter with coach Joshua Hendershott. Essentially kids were allowed to physically and mentally attack my son on and off training equipment and his indifference supports bullies with zero discipline being taught. Being hit over the head with a metal water bottle by a kid .... coaches response ... oh he'll be ok. Kid purposefuly making my son fall on equipment ... walk away and pretend he didn't see anything. Kids kicking, and hitting my kid in the stomach and while yelling stop...stop... stop coach does nothing. No notice from coach to me or the kids parents doing it. I mean he is bascially condoning. I guess it's fun for everyone including the coach to pick on the youngest and smallest kid. Way to set an example on how to teach yellow level Ninja.

Karen is a phenomenal Leader. She's patient, kind and has a super unique way of coaching the 3-4 years olds. With a kid on the spectrum, it's heartwarming to watch the way Karen takes pride in her students ability to showcase their strengths and build their confidence. One month ago I never would have thought gymnastics would have been an option for our child. Thank You Karen! Thank You MEGA!

My kids have been at MEGA for about a month now. I started out looking for a gymnastics class for my soon-to-be 3 y/o son because he is wild, fearless, and a CLIMBER! My daughter 6 y/o is in a BIG Ninja-phase and we’ve been looking for something for her too checked out some martial arts studios, but hadn’t settled on anything. I discovered they offer NinjaZone classes think American Ninja Warrior here as well. It’s been an AMAZING fit for both of them! My son is in the parent-tot gymnastics and my daughter is in level 1 ninja training. They are both loving their classes! The staff/coaches have all been great! So kind, patient, and encouraging! I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone looking to get their kids involved in an activity and would highly recommend the NinjaZone classes!

My three year old attends a Monday night gymnastics class, under 5 open gym on Thursdays, and a Ninja class on Saturdays. We have been coming to MEGA for four months and I have waited to write this review so I could offer a review not about my first impression, but my lasting impression. First, Sydney is a fixture at the front desk and the first face you will come into contact with. She is an absolute delight and has the answer to every question I have ever thrown at her. Besides being knowledgeable, Sydney is kind and always follows through on anything I ask of her a Ninja shirt in a small not popular size, a waiting list for a different class, etc. MEGA and the parents are beyond lucky to have her. Our Monday night "tyke" class is with Coach Rich. Rich is fun, goofy, engaging, but also commands respect, attention, and has a strong focus on discipline. Not discipline in the negative sense, but discipline in teaching them the correct way to perform an exercise, take responsibility, work together, and listen. Rich is not afraid to redirect when they are acting up or are not focused. My free-spirited three year old needs the kind of guidance that Rich provides. She is learning so much more than gymnastics under Rich. He clearly enjoys his career and has a passion for his work - it shows proudly and radiates to his little gymnasts. The "under 5" open gym on Thursdays is awesome! It's a great opportunity for practice, play, challenging little minds/bodies, and explore without the fear of big kids trampling over the little ones. Thank you MEGA for having the under 5 open gym. It is the best! Thank you to the coaches who staff that open gym and make it a blast! Ninja class - this is the pride and joy of my three year old girl. She adores Coach Johnny more than she adores his hair and she really likes his hair. Johnny has the most pleasant demeanor, patient attitude, and free spirit. Ninja class is basically parkour or American Ninja Warrior for kids. She loves the running, jumping, flipping, and freedom of movement that this class provides. Johnny also clearly loves his work and it shows through his positive attitude. My child's main goal at three years old is to have fun. My main goal for her at three is for her to learn respect, patience, discipline, and critical thinking all masqueraded as fun. The MEGA team do exactly that and I am beyond impressed with our experience.

Had a great first phone call with Crystal! She gave me all the information I needed, and even got us in this week for a trial class. I am so excited to have my little one start here! Thank you for the great customer service! I'll definitely leave another review after class has begun!

My girls both in gymnastics going on 9 years, by far the most professional, cleanest and amazing helpful coaches and office staff. Best Gymnastics facility in Elgin, air conditioned to. Helps area school fundraising. Honesty and a great positive coaching staff. Look no further, hands down the best in Elgin.
