My daughter was excited to get back to gymnastics after our international move. I chose Gold Cup because the stars were 4+ on Google. But the operations/classes for pre-schoolers are not great because the coaches they have are not experienced or trained to work with children... you'll see the business objective is a pipeline, not personable, and their goal seems to make money. I would not recommend it for PreK. Go elsewhere. read more

Gold Cup Gymnastics School - Elementary Schools Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

this place charges a yearly "registration fee" even when absolutely nothing has changed with your class, schedule, etc. my daughter remains in the same class but they still charge this fee. when I called and asked about it, the lady said it actually covers their insurance. I thought this was so weird! I have my kids signed up in all kinds of activities and I have never been charged a registration fee for absolutely no reason. as far as the gymnastics, i don't think they really know how to teach children. maybe the teachers are not qualified. my daughter has not progressed at all in one year. read more

Great school with excellent instructors. My daughter attends the Thursday class @9:30am, which only has 4 other kids in it. If you attend one of the evening classes, prepare for a crowd. Plenty of space in the gym with a parents viewing area overlooking all the space though their are a few blindspots where youll lose sight of your kid at the edges of the matts. Instructors really do care about the bettering of all the gymnasts and this gym has produced an Olympian, the article about him is posted in the lobby. Fees are reasonable and they have open gyms throughout the week if you want your gymnast to get extra work. This is the only gymnastics academy we have been to so I cant compare it to anything but there is nothing that makes me want to change. read more

See all

Did not understand how this place ran things. My son who is 5 about to be 6 tried a day to see if he liked it. The boys and girls were split up ( because he was in the boys only class) then only did 2 activities the whole hour he was there. One being, jumping off of the beam... and the other was lifting themselves up off the pommel horse. His first day there were only two boys and one coach. Half the time the kids were just sitting there while all of the girls were tumbling and doing other fun activities. I then came downstairs and asked if the boys ever did anything else besides the pommel horse and head stands. I was then informed that every week they switch off. Cool so next week he'd be doing something different. Next week comes around, which I paid for, same thing as the previous week! My son sat there most of the time while the coach was babysitting a kid who couldn't behave himself. Then the coach had them sprinting back and forth. I refuse to pay for my son to sit and sprint when he already does that at home. Also seems like parents just drop off their snotty kids for an hour for them to babysit. Do not recommend putting your son in a boys only class and I do not recommend this place to anyone with a 5/6 year old. What a joke and a rip off. read more

After a so so experience back in 2015 we have been very pleased with our recent experience. While we have always been impressed with the instruction we were less than pleased with the administration and dealing with the front desk. Those issues seemed to be resolved and we are happy to say we would highly recommend Gold Cup. read more

I have beginner gymnasts, and I feel like there is pretty good instruction going on here. Class sizes are pretty large, depending on the age and ability, however I think the kids get a decent amount of attention from the teachers. Parking and drop off/pick-up is rather chaotic. There's a small viewing area upstairs for parents to wait and watch their kids. read more

We did not have a good experience with the preschool program (my daughter is 4). Elaina was a good teacher and interacted well with the students but Melissa did not have good control of her group and was very loud -except when she spoke to an individual child and then she speaks quietly so the parents can't hear. We had two incidents where this caused me to be concerned. The first incident, she scolded my daughter (who wasn't doing anything any of the other children weren't) and then began talking to her quietly and my daughter got completely embarrassed. The other, and the last straw was, I happened to be by the doorway and Melissa began to speak quietly but I could hear her and she told my daughter, "Your mom doesn't pay all this money to come watch you pick your nose." We withdrew our daughter a few days later. I was not willing to place my daughter in that situation, potentially damaging her self esteem. The other thing to note, is that when I shared my concerns with Gold Cup, the response I got was: "Have a wonderful day!" No apologies or response to my concerns AT ALL. Not good for business. read more

Never again! They are happy to take your money but won't work with you even if you follow their policies. You would think they would follow up with attendance. Faxed in cancellation as they state. Still charged following month. read more

The instruction is ok. In the larger weekend classes I don't feel the older kids get the attention that they need to grow. It seems that the instructors are more interested in chatting with each other than instructing. My biggest issue with Gold Cup is the business practices. I prepaid for 2 of my children to take classes for one year. I did this because it is easier than worrying about it monthly. Both of my children have decided that they no longer want to do gymnastics. I called to find out about getting the 6 months of tuition back and was told there is a no refund policy. What??!!!! So, they are keeping my 6 months of tuition for 2 children. That is a huge amount of money that they just awarded themselves. I used my income tax money to pay for these classes, I am by no means well off. I am very disappointed and I feel like I was robbed. My advise is DO NOT pre pay, no matter what you do. read more
