Arizona Dynamics is a fantastic place for kids to learn gymnastics. There are competitive and non-competitive tracks for participants. The gym also holds camps during the summer.
My kids (ages 7, 9, 10) have been attending classes once a week for the past year. I have been impressed with the quality of the instruction across the board. The instructors take all students seriously, even if they aren't on the competitive gymnastics track. The instructors give the kids excellent feedback, and all three have made notable progress. I bring this up because other studios and gyms sometimes don't take time with kids who don't plan to make the activity their #1 thing. My kids are serious about learning the skills, but they simply aren't interested in doing gymnastics competitively at this point in time. The feedback is genuinely important because the kids need the feedback to learn the skills and do them safely. The instructors are positive and encouraging. I've watched numerous kids and classes take place, and the instructors are great working with kids of various ages and abilities.
While I believe that boys can take any of the classes, there are a couple classes just for boys. For young boys who would prefer a male class, they have them. There is also a parkour turned ninja zone/warrior class that I don't think is gender-specific, but I've only seen boys in it. My son takes the warrior class, which involves learning how to do jumps over objects and wall climbing. He loves it. He also likes the boys tumbling class, but has the most fun in the warrior class when they do obstacle courses. His coordination has improved significantly in the past year, and the feedback from the instructor on how to do the jumps has made a big difference.
The facility is clean and air-conditioned. The equipment appears to be well-maintained. There is a nice viewing area for parents waiting for their kids during classes. read more
