We came for an event and didn't find it all that comfortable to sit and enjoy. The chairs were zip tied together making it a tight close fit for many. It appears to be very spacious in seating spacing so why the chairs attached to each other without a thought process to those who would be cramped. Not having the technical aspect of the event worked out prior to confirm the overall experience on points earned per event lacked. Standing is your best option. read more

My 6 year old has been so interested in gymnastics so I was so happy to find a place local to EG. we signed up on line for the trail with was a little confusing at first because it was asking for auto payments but that's only if you signed up. For our trail class my daughter was given a name tag and where to line up. There was no introduction to her instructor she just lined up and jumped right in. I really wish I was able to get a run down of what to expect but nevertheless my daughter still enjoyed the trail even tho it felt she was just thrown in. We have been signed up for 2 months and things are going great. read more

Year 3 at Elevate. Communication still sucks, there have been some improvements with certain coaches. Meet coordinator and owner are not flexible nor do they want to hear any concerns or suggestions. 36 hours of volunteering or pay $1000 in addition to other fees. Practice times for gymnasts is spent standing around a lot of the time. Waiting for a turn. Several teams have over 20 gymnasts. Fairness and equality null! read more

Elevate Gymnastics Academy - Gyms Near Me - Elk Grove, California

My daughter LOVES Elevate! She has loved each and every coach that she has had over the 4 years she has been an athlete there. Jasmine, Makayla, Lana, Steve, Debbie, and a handful of other coaches have supported and encouraged her as she has gone from Girls Basic III to Platinum! As her mom, I love the gym because I know she is getting amazing, caring instruction and encouragement. Seeing your child thrive at something they love and looking forward to each and every practice makes a mama's heart extremely happy! read more

My daughters have been coming here for years. The experience of the instructors, and how they break down the moves for the students is what keeps us coming back. You won't be disappointed! read more

My kids have been going to Elevate for a little over a year now and I've seen a big change in their confidence and strength. Just a year ago, they weren't able to cartwheel or pull-up. Now, they're learning how to do round off back handsprings and bar kips. The coaches really are amazing. They will tell you that they view their teams as family and I truly feel like they care about these kids like family. The coaches put safety first and teach the kids to be supportive of one another. My kids can spend hours at practice without complaint because of Elevate's positive environment. There are things about Elevate that could improve as mentioned in other reviews, but my family has always found a way to work things through and any of the minor admin issues that we have had in the past have resolved so far. read more

I go on Saturday and it is so fun! The coaches are nice. And yeah everything is amazing.

Disappointing. Signed up my 3 year old for a trial Ninja Class for Monday, 01/08/24 at 6:30PM. However, once we arrived they said there are no Ninja classes on Monday's and was told incorrectly. It was very clear during my phone conversation that it was for ninja classes. What a waste of time. Will be going to a different gym. read more

I've been taking my daughters to Elevate for over 5 years and have to say it's probably one of the best gymnastics locations around. As with most businesses, things could always be better, or you could find fault in how they operate, but overall, the owner and coaches do a great job with the kids. They try to make it fun and engaging when the kids are younger, building up to more discipline and stricter practice routines as they progress. It allows the kids to grow into the sport, and my daughter has really improved year over year. For younger or beginner level classes, they are larger and tend to thin out as kids progress or move into other things. I was not a big fan of the larger classes, but I see how the program is designed and appreciate the way it develops the kids. My daughter is now on a competitive team, and yes, it's a pain to do parent points (volunteering), but that is laid out when you sign up for the competitive program. As with other competitive sports, it costs money to travel to competitions, but that's to be expected. Sports overall = $$$, if you don't like it then don't put your kids into a sport. I am overall happy with the gym and the progress my daughter has shown with the help of the coaches at EGA and the friendships she's built with her team. read more

After being a member since 2020, please expect a yearly price increase of 5% and only certain coaches are really good, but the others are questionable. Especially Amber, who is clearly not coach material. She will teach level 3 students level 1 or 2 skills and then blame or single out your child about poor attitudes. And when several parents have complained about her, nothing gets done to correct her behavior, you receive no callbacks or emails from the owner, and you cant remove your payment card from the parent portal, but they were sure quick enough to remove your child. So pathetic. Find a different gym. read more

I wish there were more gyms to choose from in this area. They rarely pickup the phone, it's next to impossible to get a hold of them via phone. The waitlists are long (took my girl over 6 months to get into a girls basic 1 class). There's no communication with parents before or during about expectations or progression. Apparently, evaluations are based on coaches' recommendations or by parents' requests only, so I guess it's possible for your child to stay in the same level forever and never move up. Then, when your child does move up, your child is given a passing certificate but no one tells you you need to go sign them up for the next class so that they can be waitlisted for the next level; which again, can take months for them to get into. And it's true, no one greets you and the coaches does not have time to talk to you, so if you have concerns or questions, you will need to make extra initiative to be heard. Granted my kids are young and don't know any better. They enjoy themselves and to them, it's just play (expensive play on my part). read more

Elevate Gymnastics Academy - The gym from a parents POV. - Gyms Near Me - Elk Grove, California

For the amount of money parents spend here, the service & equipment they provide is below par. My kids have been coming here for months. When I first signed them up, it was their first day, they don't show you or tell you who their coach is, or tell you where to go or take your child. I feel like this is a strong area that needs improvement. They had the summer Olympics recently and their mic system rarely worked and couldn't even hear anything. You'd also think they have better working air conditioning system. My daughter's coach is inconsistent, she always seems to have a new coach every week. read more

Not a place to go if your child has no experience in or lacks an inherit aptitude for gymnastics. The attention is given to the higher level students. Information is not readily available or explained as to what to do to help your child move forward. The front desk is not forthcoming with information. I continue to ask (and sometimes advocate) about how and when my child can move up. My child has been with Elevate for two years. She is now in Basic 1. I had to ask and advocate for to move into Basic 1! I feel like if I don't advocate for my child to actually "be a part of the learning process ". 1. Smaller classes-increased skill building and opportunities for coach correction 1:1 2. Monthly or Bi-Monthly reports on child's progress. Cover on things improved upon, things that need improvement , and recommendations to move to next level 3. Better communication from front desk regarding what is available. I still have no idea what ". Hot Shots" is. 4. Increase customer service skills 5. Watch profit over product, I know $$$ is important. I also know that larger classes lead to diminished opportunities for learning and advancement with the lower level classes read more

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE, WORST PLACE TO DO BUSINESS, WORST PLACE TO BRING YOUR CHILD IF YOU WANT THEM TO IMPROVE AND PERFECT THEIR SKILLS. Our daughter has been coming here for years. Our daughter loved it, but of course with the lack of gyms in the area... this is the only gym. With all honesty, we FINALLY moved our daughter to a gym that is farther, and we are so much happier! Our daughter feels like she is getting the training that she needs. Our daughter was in the Xcel program at Elevate, but come to find out that Xcel is for recreation! If you want your child to improve and perfect their skills, AND move up in gymnastics.. go to a gym for Junior Olympics. I was appalled when I heard the girls have been cleaning the pits in the gym and finding rats! Also, why is my daughter teaching the class, instead of the coaches? Make friends with the parents because everyone has to be on the same page. Check your bank accounts. Found out that parents are not getting charged the same fees despite the fact that the gymnasts are in the same level. Parent points are forced and all the positions fill up fast. Is there enough to make the 180 points? NO! Almost every parent will owe $1080. Was this brought up to the volunteer coordinator? YES! It's all about the Benjamins at this gym. read more

Overall: We have been coming to elevate gym for the past couple of months. My daughter is super clumsy but very energetic so it was perfect for us to set her up in gymnastics. Coach Earl is a wonderful coach! He is very attentive of the girls and I truly appreciate how he will always adjust them when needed. My daughter can now do cartwheels and is very excited to move on to her next trick! Facility: the place has large windows where you can watch the kiddos. There is plenty of seats for friends and family. There are also very many bathroom stalls for all the women in the place! Staff: Front desk staff I feel could be friendlier (coming from customer service myself) I feel they are very short when speaking to me and not very personable. My daughters coach is amazing! Coach Earl can spot a wrong jump from across the room! Not only can he spot it he will go and fix or adjust the kiddo to make sure that they practice properly! If your daughter is starting out I definitely recommend being set up with Mr Earl! read more

Despite all the bad reviews I still gave this place the benefit of the doubt. I am now regretting my decision to have ever enrolled my daughter here. The staff is so rude, no one ever answers the phone, you do not get greeted when you enter nor do they even look or acknowledge you. There are zero updates with the coaches on the kids performances. It's been 2 months and I have yet to be introduced to the coach who teaches my daughters class. They also charge you for days and weeks they are closed due to holidays. This place is trash, avoid it at all cost. read more

REALLY wish I could put 0. I really had high hopes for this place, alot of people recommend but the whole thing is just super uncomfortable to even be in. What could improve? Rebuild the entire thing. don't even know if u even CAN improve. I used to be recreational, and only did tumbling. And if u are too, and looking for something that focuses on it, DON'T GO HERE. coaches don't even look like they even know what they are doing. And the whole focus of this whole place is bars, and beam. And personally, it's BORING if your somebody like me who is strong in floor. Coaches are super old, and uncomfortable to be around at all. It's super scary if ur just starting.for example, the lights are dim,not warm. It's totally enclosed with barely any Windows. The front of the place is painted YELLOW!! and if your somebody like me who hates the color in architecture, it will give u a migraine.Furthermore, the city's ghetto. People who attend here are SCARY. again, if you have a short temper especially with atmosphere , it's very easy to get sick of it.. They play NO MUSIC or playlists what so ever, Moreover, the equipment is ALL outdated. all u can hear are people on bars and beam since barely anybody does floor.. And it ticks me off.if absolutely anybody from the staff is reading, I'm disappointed. Be as mad as you want, but it will never change the fact of how cheap this place is. read more

Really wish I could give this place a higher rating because my son likes his class. BUT if you are signing up as a new customer then they do not offer any make up classes. I have never paid for any children's activity or sport or music lessons that have NO make up classes. In my opinion, the lack of make up classes really takes away from the value. So every single time that my son is sick this winter we will just be out the money paid for classes that he cannot attend. If it wasn't for this policy, I would be leaving five stars. read more

It's just ok. We only stay because our daughter likes coming. It's true that they barely answer their phones, and it takes a while for someone to get back to you when you leave a message. There are no makeup days if your child is sick and misses a class. There was a time where I witnessed they took benches away from people sitting on them, even families with small children forcing them to sit on the floor so that their staff can have them for a meeting. Those benches are there for guest purposes and taking them away looks very bad when they are already in use. Maybe invest in some chairs for your staff or plan your meeting after hours. Another issue is that it seems they have too many children (toddler/4yr old class) per coach/instructor which causes them to not pay attention to your child. It's just ok here. I almost want to make the drive to a gym in Lodi for a better experience. We'll see... read more

I like that they try to be as professional and as friendly as possible. I have two children here, one 4 year old who loves her classes with Mrs. Suzie and Mrs. Sasha. and a 2 year old boy, who happens to have Down Syndrome. He has made such a big progress with his physical abilities and following instructions from Mrs. Sandy. She always treats him with respect, dignity and lots of kindness. When you have a child with disability, you cry a lot, sometimes because of how unfair people are, and sometimes because of how kind they are. I have seen lots of kindness in this place. I am glad we made a choice to come to this place to learn gymnastics. Both of my children love coming here and have learned a lot and made significant progress! read more

The teachers are rude and unqualified to deal with kids that have special needs. The teachers are dishonest and make false accusations regarding interactions with parents. Management will take your money but not interested in resolving conflict and basically tell you that your child is not welcome because they don't want to deal with a parent that is standing up for their child that has special needs. Too bad there isn't a way to give them zero stars. read more

Great place for kids. Have to go on a waitlist before being able to join. Big facility.

1. Very bad customer service. Whenever I called to speak with someone, I always got voice mail. Messages were never returned. 2. Regarding above, I left a voicemail indicating that my son would no longer be attending. I never heard back so was left to assume that is how they do business. 3. I continue to get billed for classes that were not attended. 4. Finally reached an actual human being, only to be told that since "whoever took the voicemail didn't write anything down" I still need to pay the missed month plus a late fee. 5. Elevate Gymnastic is a money hungry machine. They obviously had NO IDEA my son wasn't even attending class. ***This should give a potential customer great concern regarding the commitment and care they give their gymnasts.*** read more

I had high hopes but was quickly and repeatedly let down. Getting someone on the phone is almost impossible. And when I spoke with someone, half the time they couldn't answer my simple question. Front desk is not friendly. My daughter had several coach changes. Most coaches were nice. The last one was not. Why work with kids if you don't like them? Parking is a nightmare. Overall not worth it. We found another gym and everyone there is friendly, knowledgeable, and seems to care about the kids. My daughter is thriving again. Thank read more

My son had a great birthday party here when he turned 2 years old! Highly recommend renting time for your kiddos parties.

I wanted to update to my previous review of Elevate Gymnastics, which was about three years ago, because I think its important that anyone interested in getting their children into Gymnastics understands what a top tier program Elevate operates. I don't know that anyone has addressed this in previous reviews. I might be a bit long winded but if you want to get an idea of how good the program is bear with me. Like most gymnastic programs, Elevate has introductory programs (run through the local parks and recreations dept.) that start kids off tumbling and becoming familiar with skills used in gymnastics. These programs are very basic and have a lot of kids and sometimes parents involved. If the parent wants to advance the child, or if the coaches think the child has potential (they will suggest advancement), the child can move up into more advanced and skilled programs at Elevate. For the boys (my son has been doing gymnastics going on six/seven years). They will advance your child from the tumbling programs, to a pre-team program then into the team levels. The levels are based on the skill and age of the gymnast. They start off at Level 4 and go all the way to Level 10. If your child is capable the coaches will talk to you regarding advancement because the higher the sill level the greater the time commitment for the child and of course the more expensive the fees. The issue of talent and abilities is something that parents need to consider, understand, and come to terms with when it comes to competitive gymnastics. The coaches will NOT advance your child if they do not have the skills to move forward, so it is possible that your child may not advance past a certain level. Not every child is born to be an Olympic Gymnast regardless of how hard they try and the coaches will not put your child in danger by advancing them past their abilities. The teams are coached by USA Gymnastics qualified coaches. The head coach Ron Howard is a great coach and very well respected in the gymnastics community. The other boys coaches Rick, Tanner, and John are also excellent coaches. During the 2018 season the level 10 15/16 year old boys team did very well. They were entered in 5 invitational meets and came in first place in all of them for their level and age group. The meets were in Reno, Las Vegas, Stanford, Elk Grove, and Rancho Cordova. The boys did very well at the State Championships (Nor Cal) as well, I believe they came in second. Almost all of the boys went to the Region 1 Championships (Reg 1 is Nor Cal, So Cal, Arizona, Nevada, and Hawaii). The boys team sent seven boys to Nationals (Junior Olympics) this year. Two of those boys (both from the level 10 team) are going to the US Gymnastic's Championship. This meet has the best gymnasts in the country and is where National titles and team births are decided. So, in a nutshell the competitive gymnastics program is as good as any in the country. Since my son has been there they have sent boys on to several different colleges - Berkeley, Penn St., the Univ. of Illinois, the Air Force Academy, and the Army Academy. This year Elevate had the most Academic All Americans of any team in the country. If you child wants to be a competitive gymnast and has the skills and drive to achieve it, you won't find a better gym than Elevate. read more

This place is disgusting! My daughter recently participated in a 6-week 'basic gym' through CSD. On day one the staff at the front desk were incredibly rude, I went back to ask a question and the lady looked at me, ignored me, and continued walking. I said 'excuse me, I asked a question'. She sighed and gave some snappy response. OK, I was willing to look past that, maybe she was overwhelmed that day. So my daughter attended a couple sessions and wasn't feeling well for the next two. I kept her home because we're living in Covid times and out of respect for others and an abundance of caution. Upon my daughters return the class started late. She was in Maggie's group. When Maggie learned my daughter hasn't mastered a cartwheel she sighed, scoffed at, and rolled her eyes at my daughter! There was also another girl in class that was a bit heavier than the other girls in class. She couldn't do a flip on the bar, again Maggie scoffed and rolled her eyes! Fat shaming? Maybe. At the least, she's rude and forgetting this is a recreational beginners program through CSD. Most of the kids in the group were younger than my near 12 year old. My daughter will not be returning, they got their money. If it would have worked out I would have signed her up for a program directly through Elevate because she showed interest, but no thanks! I won't have my kid attending with some disrespectful adults that run the show. Very disheartening. read more

Very disappointed in this gym. I was so excited that my son finally found an activity that he loves but after a couple of months, we won't be continuing. The young adults that "teach" the kinder classes appear bored, disengaged, and do not have the skill set to keep the 5-6 year olds focused to ensure they're following along and performing the moves correctly. For $70 a month you get only one class a week. Additionally, the gym is not air conditioned in the summer (they said they have swamp coolers but it felt like a sauna in there). Poor little athletes. This business is out for the money and could care less. UPDATE: They have raised their prices since this review to $78 a month for one class per week that is one hour long. read more

I'm updating this review to one star because it seems to be getting worse my daughter no longer enjoys the class her teacher is rude doesn't help them, and she even tells other staff that the younger girls were boring and she didnt want to be there so i rather save my money then have my daughter being taught by someone who doesn't even want to teach (young teenager) also when I spoke with the office to advise of why I was leaving it seemed like they didnt even care so I will take my business elsewhere. There is also a newer older lady who is always rude to me I dont know of it's a race thing but money is as good as anyone else and I don't appreciate it at all. read more
