If you're looking for the best gymnastics and ninja gym for boys in Marin, GymWorld is absolutely worth checking out. Our kids have tried a lot of sports and activities, but this is the one they constantly ask to go back to. The facility is impressive -- giant trampolines, ninja courses, tumble tracks, ropes, foam pits, and gymnastics equipment everywhere. It's the perfect environment for active kids who need movement and physical challenges. Even after a full class, my boys still don't want to leave. The staff is fantastic with children and somehow manages to balance fun with real skill-building. We've seen major improvements in confidence, listening skills, coordination, and strength. Jonah and Jill, the new owners/managers, have brought amazing energy to the gym. They are friendly, involved, and clearly passionate about creating a positive experience for families. You can tell they genuinely care about both the kids and the community. read more

I cannot recommend open gym enough! We have not yet tried the classes, but it's wonderful to have an activity for children of different ages. My kids are five years apart and they both BEG to come here. Children (& parents!) are able to freely explore a professional gymnastics gym without structure for up to two hours. We all leave feeling strong, fulfilled, and exhausted in the best way. The facilities are clean, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and overall it's our favorite activity in Central Marin. Check it out! read more

We held our 5 year old son's birthday at Gymworld and it was fantastic! The kids had a blast during free play, the more structured obstacle course and the upstairs space is perfect for food and cake. I would 100% hold another party here. read more

I received a nice call from the owner as follow up and she also refunded $100, which was unnecessary but kind. It sounds like this was more of a staff training issue and they do still intend to do guided activities. Our party was at 3:30 so the 3rd party of the day and it's possible that at that point the staff was just wiped. read more

SAFE environment for kids to play safely. I can take both my son, 10 and daughter, under 2 for stress free enjoyment for mom and kids. read more

The staff are always so wonderful. We love coming here for birthday parties. Zach is the best. Ask for him!

We love Gym World! The coaches and staff are so kind and wonderful, and it's a great place for kids of all ages and abilities to explore gymnastics in a safe and comfortable way. Both of our girls have taken/are currently taking classes and we also hosted our daughter's fifth birthday party there. There were 30 four and five years old and the coaches somehow kept the kids having fun, completely engaged, and safe. My daughter said it was the best birthday party she's ever had! The staff also helped us set up and clean up and they made the process seamless. We love Gym World and highly recommend it! read more

GymWorld is so great for kids! The teachers are friendly and create engaging fun environment for the kids to move their bodies. My 3 girls love attending weekly class and have increased their skills and strength over the course of nearly 9 months with GymWorld. The gym bucks are also a fun addition the girls love collecting. My girls are always excited to go to gymnastics - We love it! read more

We absolutely love GymWorld! My 9 year old daughter Julia is in a weekly class, and she loves it. The teachers are very supportive and fun, and Julia's confidence and skills continue to increase. We highly recommend GymWorld! read more

So fab! Louisa my 3 year old has the best time. We come weekly!! Really great staff that always play with her and really nice high

We have 2 kids who go to Gymworld (6 and 4). The teachers are great and the kids love it! I'm constantly impressed by how patient, present, and fun the teachers are here. read more

Our daughter has loved the GymWorld team for a long time, and the new ownership are awesome.

My daughters had a wonderful experience at Gym World. Jonah and the coaches have been great to my kids. They've learned to be confident in their movement and strength, take risks, and love the sport. read more

Gymworld is my Grandaughters' favorite place to learn gymnastics in Marin and I've taken her to 2 other Gyms. The coaches are amazing, mixing fun with great and experienced instruction. In doing a week long Camp last week, she couldn't wait to go and didn't want to leave. Carla B read more

My daughter went to Gym World when she was under 10 and her rude coach told her to quit because she wasn't flexible enough. At such a young age it is sad to see staff hired who don't know how to uplift and encourage children. Many years later she still remembers the unkind words of her teacher, Gym world do better. read more

Absolutely Love Gym World! The gym is under new ownership and management this year. Gym World is hands down one of the best decisions we've ever made for our family. The staff is not only professional and knowledgeable, but also incredibly warm, patient, and enthusiastic -- they truly love what they do, and it shows in every class. From the moment you walk in, the energy is electric. The facility is clean, safe, and full of exciting equipment that keeps kids moving, learning, and smiling. Our child has grown so much in strength, confidence, and coordination since joining -- and most importantly, they can't wait to go back each week. Whether you're looking for recreational fun or something more serious, Gym World offers a perfect blend of structure and joy. We couldn't recommend it more! read more

My son attended Gym World's Gymnastics Camp and it was fantastic! The staff are professional, welcoming, and create such a fun environment. My kid absolutely loved it and came home excited every day. Highly recommend! read more

This review is for the open gyms! We have been taking our two kids to the Sunday morning open gym from 9 to 11 AM and it has been super fun and great for them! Very large space in a warehouse with trampolines, uneven bars, balance beams, and fun obstacle courses for little kids. Both my six-year-old and one and a half-year-old have a great time. Open gym means there is not instruction so my husband and I like to work on different tricks with the kids directly and play with them. read more

What a great space for camp! The new owners are kind and jazzed to make camp excellent for kids of all ages. Our week had pre-k - 4th graders and every one of them was so happy at pickup. read more

Lordes and all the coaches are amazing here, my daughter has been going to camps, birthdays, classes here since she was about 4 years old, and now 7 and she loves it. It's affordable and a ton of space, and there's an area where you can work from if you want too. It's also down near Target and there's a funky coffee shop that's down the street if you need to work somewhere else or quickly get some errands in. My daughter goes to another gymnastics facility for some more advanced classes, but she built her foundation here, there's no doubt about it and still loves going to camp here. They also are on sync with the public school system breaks which is awesome, we've sent her to camp for the week ahead of Xmas when we still have work, but school is out, and usually do 2 weeks of the summer camp. Great place for birthdays too! read more

Fantastic facility with outstanding staff to help coach and guide our children in gymnastics! We hosted my daughter's 2nd Birthday and had the BEST experience!! read more

Gym World - Summer Camps Near Me - San Rafael, California

Gymworld is a very clean and fun place for kids of all ages! There is a verity of coach's and coaching styles, Depending on if your child needs a fun, loving, hands on coach that will build your child's confidence, or a bit more serious coach whom will keep your child focused and on track, either way your child will learn at a pace that is best suited for them! From Open gym 5 days a week for the young ones 5 and under, as well as Sunday open gym for 5 & older, to Birthday party's for kids of all ages, if any child walks away in tears it is only because they don't want to leave. I love the doors that roll up and fill Gymworld with fresh air, as well as the option for air conditioning on those hot days, it really is the best gym in the read more

My daughter has been attending Gymworld for a year now after a stint in summer camp there. We're moving North, so I'm afraid we're going to retire from Gymworld, but I want to write some parting words. My daughter improved tremendously while taking gymnastics at Gymworld. Lordes, was very supportive of her and encouraged her advancement. I always worked on my computer from the loft overlooking the space. I got a terrific sense of how the other coaches taught and Gymworld's philosophy. All of the coaches take their instruction seriously, even the younger teachers. They are not, however, pushing the kids to do things they can't do. Safety is clearly a priority. My daughter feels the equipment is the best part. She thinks that it's a very professional set-up. Communication with the gym was always easy and the front desk staff (Ellen) was accessible and friendly. Ellen answered any question I had and was very accommodating. I'm going to miss Gymworld. read more

Owner not to be trusted. Promised a refund then reneged on her promise and ghosted me.

Fun birthday party! The coach was great with the kids. It was a large group and she appropriately enlisted the adults in helping at key spots to control the flow and prevent injury. The kids had a great time. They were sweaty and exhausted after play. The upstairs party space is small and congested, so if you have a really big party you may want to limit to one parent or even drop off for older kids. It also gets really hot up there so dress accordingly. Parking was easy on the weekend. I live too far to come back for play, am glad we got to try it out! read more

My son had a blast here attending one of his classmate's b day party. It was a small group (less than 8 kids) and the coach wasn't overwhelmed. She was patient with the kids but lack some of enthusiasm, it's all mechanical for her, no smile but did her best to made sure the kids had fun. Overall a great time here. Location is easy to find with plenty of parking on weekends (they only open for parties on weekends I think). read more

My daughter has been at 4 gyms though traveling. This one seemed ok until they dropped my daughter twice while the coach was on her cell phone and not spotting her. Gymworld has lost two coaches. If you have younger kids into tumbling and cartwheels that's the place. If you want to be on a competitive team. Walk away. read more

Very satisfied with this facility! My daughter has progressed so rapidly compared to the previous place she used to go to. At Gym World children get trained by a head coach mostly not junior coaches. This matters a lot since I can tell the difference as I used to be a gymnast myself. The place is always clean and organized. We also started using their summer camps and my daughter really is enjoying it! Definitely my number 1 choice in Marin! read more

OVERALL: Happy with this gym so far. My 8 y/o daughter and my 4.5 y/o have been attending about a month. There's a good mix of coaching styles, from the strict/serious to the gentle/encouraging - I like the variety and think the kids benefit from BOTH. My sense after this short while is that it's overall a good/safe environment in which to learn gymnastics. STAFF: I appreciate that Victoria and Lourdes have been very accommodating with regards to scheduling make-up days due to sickness. Shauna has been especially patient and good at instructing my 4 y/o wanna-be gymnast, who is a little young to always listen to verbal instructions and sometimes gets distracted and misses the demonstration(s). I really feel like she is watching out for my daughter; who loves gymnastics and is learning very quickly. I think Elyse (?) and another coach named Denise (I think??) are very knowledgeable about the body and it shows in their coaching method. One very young coach - I don't know her name - seems a bit hands-off (isn't as quick to offer a spot for kids who seem to need it more often). But that seems to be the exception, not the rule and may be due to the high number of kids/inability to spot everyone. Maybe this only applies to me, since my child is one of the youngest girls there. My 8 y/o doesn't have a problem asking for help if she needs it. FACILITY: It's also a very clean gym - brand new - with nice equipment. I visited MEGA and thought it was kind of gross (smelly) and tired-looking. I do think it's expensive, but gymnastics can be a costly sport and really the gym is beautiful and fabulous equipment is not aged. I can't say I did any price shopping to see how it compares to other local gyms - I imagine it's competitive...? Love how there's a foam pit, trapeze, cargo net, various trampolines, mats, a climbing wall, and rings in addition to the usual vault, uneven bars, high/low/floor beams. Wish my gym had all this great stuff when I was a kid. :) SUMMARY: If there's one thing keeping me from giving it "5 stars" (aside from cost), it's that it seems to be a very popular gym and can get crowded/hectic, with lots of little kids (mostly girls, btw) running around. I'm nervous that heads will clunk. It's been especially nice the last 2 visits as many are away for the holidays and the gym is more quiet than usual! UPDATE: This place is getting busy - quality of instruction varies. I don't think this is the best gym for my younger daughter who cannot follow instructions as well. (It's great for my older child.) I don't think the answer is the private lesson they suggest ($50/session) to get her up to speed - the reason they she isn't learning more readily is that she is a bit too young/immature, coupled with lack of instructor attention. I think it's silly when they set up multiple "stations" for the little ones to rotate through. Most of them need a spot for each station (impossible, given class size) and they cannot recall what you just told them, let alone what they are supposed to be doing in each of the 4-6 stations. It's a constant chorus of "what am I supposed to be doing here?" and "can you help me?" read more

Professional, fun and affordable. Gymworld is a great place to send your kids for gymnastics. The owners are both professional and friendly and the kids seems to have smiles on their faces at all times. Knowledgable staff, affordable rates. I have friends who have kids that go and highly recommend. (Obviously I don't take gymnastics classes, but I know people with kids that do). read more

My daughter started going to this gymnastics studio when it first opened. The owners Victoria Yelensky and Lourdes Esquivel are former members of the national teams in their respective countries (Ukraine and Mexico). Their studio provides the best and safest gymnastics in Marin County. Their facilities are great for group lessons and also for birthday parties. read more

We enrolled our 2 daughters at Gymworld when we moved to Marin from the South Bay. Best part and decision made about our move. I cant recommend this gym enough! We love every one here. From the moment you walk into the door, you are greeted by Ellen and her sweet, kind smile. She is a blessing to this Gym. You are able to watch all the gymnasts and coaches from the upstairs that is provided for adults and spectators. Lourdes, and Victoria, the amazing, talented, passionate, owners, and the most down to earth and amazing souls in Marin! Their passion for the sport, and their hearts, are what make them stand apart from the sometimes pretentious side of Marin! With that said, I feel every coach has the same uniqueness and heart as the rest of the staff. These coaches are real, down to earth, caring individuals who praise, teach, and encourage your child from their heart. Coach Stephanie, Coach Shauna, and Coach Kyla, are so special too my girls and me, since they all have coached our girls and became a part of our lives, and hearts, and truly what I would consider family. Relationships and community are HUGE to me and matter alot too me and my life, as I raise my girls in this world that sometimes can seem and be so harsh and leave you with a feeling of disconnect. We found community and family by attending Gymworld We love our days and time spent at Gymworld with all these amazing people, families, and kids that attend! All my love to the coaches, staff and owners at Gymworld!!! xoxoxo read more

We came here for our friend's kid's birthday party. The placed appeared to be nice and inviting, but the worker there was so impatient, rude to the parents, and the children. Children are a handful. I'm not sure why she's employed there if she doesn't have patience for kids. After the party was over, she sped off so fast in the parking lot, which aggravated parents because there were toddlers and little kids walking back to their cars. After reading some reviews, this place seems pretty decent. Maybe she's just a bad seed or having a really bad day. read more

My daughter is attending this Gym since she was a year old! The best Gym ever! Affordable with professional coaches that have VERY good relationship with the students. Gym World just moved to a bigger brand new building. The girls are VERY happy :) read more

Wanted to give it another chance so I just sent my little girl to the summer camp here and she had a very good experience. It was fun, the staff was super friendly and the instruction was superb. So I wanted to update my review to give them the credit they deserve for turning my impression of them around. read more

We came as guests for my son's friends' birthday at the beginning of the school year. Our birthday coach was fantastic (I think her name was Karen??). She had such great energy, the kids loved her, and even remembered all their names within the hour! Several of us were very impressed with her professional personality and skills with the kids. If you book here, make sure to request her as I've seen some negative comments about other birthday coaches. Overall great space and service! A little difficult to find, but the gym itself is very neat and pleasant with lots of mats and colors for the kids. We ended up booking my son's birthday there a few weeks later and specifically asked for the same coach. Thank you, Gymworld! read more

This is a really good gym. Good coaches. Good facilities. Good times. My daughter had been coming here for years and really loves it.

I give Gym World 5 stars because the location is convenient, parking is easy, the space is clean, the equipment is safe, the instructors are knowledgeable, the kids have a great time, and there is a lot of variety of equipment so that the kids stay engaged. I have been to a birthday party there and they do a fantastic job of making sure everyone is included, challenged, and have a great time. The best part is that the kids only have to ask for help to get special attention when they want or need it. read more
