Performance Gymnastics Academy

Full disclosure—we were there for a trial class today so this is my review based on our first experience. No staff at the front desk to greet us and it smelled so awful. Other than the smell the facility looked really clean and I loved the huge viewing area. You could see the whole gym from anywhere in the lobby! We went into class and there was a clear zoo animal theme in the parent-child section—stuffed animals and balloons everywhere. I couldn’t catch the teacher’s name but I loved how she used the animal balloons to help the kids stretch; really clever. I wish she would have been able to show more of the skills during the circuits—I had trouble remembering what we were supposed to be doing. I was also frustrated by the defined circuits but only because it seemed like my son just wasn’t interested in following it The teacher was really friendly but of course, my son’s favorite part was jumping in the foam pit. I liked the ending song and the stamps and the coloring page. Once the class was over though it seemed that the front desk person still wasn’t there. Overall I thought the class was okay and facility looked nice but I could not deal with the smell of the gym.

This place is great. My only complaint is that they don't teach boys outside of preschool and tumbling. My son was in gymnastics with his twin sister before we moved to Ohio and if he decides to restart, we'll have to find a new place. My daughters, however, love this place and their coaches.

I was interested in trying out this facility as its close. I called ahead to schedule a trial class. I was told to come in at 10 am. I arrive 10 min early to fill out necessary paperwork only to find the lady at the desk has no clue what I'm talking about. The lady on the phone never signed me up for the 10 am class because there is no 10 am class. She said I could try the 1030 class since I was here and my daughter was excited. We waited 40 extra min while with a young toddler to finally get in the class. I was told 45 min which later learned it's an hour. My young toddler can't wait 1.5 hours but we did anyway. They got started stretching everything seemed fine until they got to the stations. I jumped out of my seat several times about to have a panic attack thinking my daughter is going to break her neck or wrist. They had a station where the kids had to forward roll over a big rolling mat but there was no staff to assist the kids and she's 4. I literally almost went in there myself to assist. Sadly one little girl did end up getting a sprained wrist from the station that I deemed unsafe. They gave her an uce pack. She was also doing a trial. After the hour long class the instructor knowing we were here for a trial didn't make any time for me by talking or discussing how my daughter did only to say she doesn't know how to stay in line. That's it. Nothing positive or even asking what we thought or how she liked it just left us. I felt that was very rude considering we waited 40 extra minutes for the class and we were a trial. Most business want customers so they make time for them. Anyway my daughter ended up not enjoying it anyway so it made for an easy decision of no. I just wish they would've made time for potential customers, treat them better by apologizing for their mistake, and being kind and excited for newcomers.

My daughter has such a great time here. Her coach is awesome. Even when my daughter was having an off day and didn't want to go into class, they let me go in with her and help!

My daughter used to attend this gym, but we unfortunately had to move family move to Virginia. Performance is a fantastic facility. Great equipment and layout. The coaches are BEYOND amazing. The owner/Head Coach has experience beyond reproach. She was a collegiate gymnast at one of the top programs in the NCAA. She’s coached at an elite gym and has made Performance her pride and joy. You won’t find a coach that cares more or works harder for her gymnasts. Whether you are looking for a gym for recreation classes or interested in competition team, PGA is the best!! The entire staff is amazing!! My daughter tried several other gyms in the area and none of them compared to PGA!!

This is the second Gymnastics academy I have been through between both of my girls. This review isn't about the first one, so I won't go into much detail about it. However, based on my experience with the first one that my oldest attended, I had no idea what real gymnastics actually was. Until we got here. I was so impressed I even called their grandmother and said, "No, no this is a *real* gymnastics academy, the instructors are actual gymnasts here!" haha! I was seriously that impressed. As a parent, I have never felt that my child was in any kind of danger, or that she wasn't being properly supervised. They keep the child/instructor ratio pretty tight knit and smaller. My youngest did join gymnastics at a later age than most, so she was in class with younger girls, at times she felt the young ones got more attention but only because they are little and have shorter attention spans and needed more correction. That isn't a big deal, she still learns and builds skill. One day she will be in a class with kids around her own age ; The instructors here I have seen are a mix of fun/silly, and stricter. The stricter ones however look to be coaching the older higher level girls, so honestly, that's expected. They do compete here. My own childs instructors have been nothing but kind to her, patient, thorough, and overall amazing. She has severe social anxiety and almost didn't even go into the gym on the first class but once she did, it was her instructors that helped her feel confident pretty fast. Now, she can't get enough of it and can't wait for class days. She has learned *so* much since being here, starting off with no gymnastics experience, to being a level 2 little gymnast doing things even she didn't think she could do. I am so proud of her, *and* the staff at Performance! Thank you! P.S. The gym is always clean, but you may have to wait for a seat until one of the other classes let out, so if you have trouble standing just keep that in mind, but seats do open up quickly once a class lets out.

The best thing to do if you like to do gymnastics

We have been going to this gym for 3 years. We love it. I have had 2 of my children enrolled in the preschool program. The coaches are fantastic, the facility is clean and well maintained.

Absolutely love this gym. My daughter started going there two months after it opened. She is now on team and absolutely loves her coaches there are literally part of the family
