I have been bringing my kids here for the last several sessions. Our girls really enjoy coming here. The owner, Brian, is very friendly and great with the kids. They have other coaches but we've mainly had, Ms. Ashleigh, and she is wonderful. Super patient and good with the kids. We recently attended their winter camp which was from 9 am - 2pm for multiple age groups. It was $80 per child with a sibling discount. Other than school it was the first time we just dropped the kids off at a program for that long. They seemed to really like it and expressed that they would do it again. read more

This review is just based on an intake call to start my son's gymnastic classes with a woman named Jessica. I was completely comfortable answering questions about my son's autism and his support needs during the intake call. I understand that these questions are necessary. However, what made the experience uncomfortable was the attitude of the staff member, Jessica. After nearly every answer I gave, she would respond with an annoyed-sounding "Hmm... okay," which came across as dismissive and judgmental. When she asked if my son attends a "typical school," her tone made me feel like I was being interrogated rather than welcomed. It got to the point where I had to ask her if there was an issue because her responses consistently felt rude. She mentioned that she has a lot of experience working with autistic children, but that wasn't reflected in the way she communicated. Families seeking programs for children with autism deserve empathy, patience, and respectful communication--especially during an intake call, which is often the first impression of the organization. Unfortunately, this interaction left me feeling discouraged rather than supported. I probably will just continue swimming classes rather than even starting here if this is how they discriminate against families with children on the spectrum. read more

Please train your employees on interacting with special needs families. This location was unfortunately recommended to us by the Regional Center as a place welcoming of children on the spectrum. Our experience was quite the opposite. Upon signing in for our trial class, we told the instructor our daughter's name. Right as we were about to explain that she is on the spectrum, the instructor told my daughter "You can't talk or what?" When we told him our daughter is nonverbal, he literally laughed and said "Oh." When the website said there would be lots of fun and laughter in class, I didn't realize they meant at the expense of my daughter. Within a few minutes the instructor ran up to us in front of all the other parents and told us we should bring her another day for an adaptive class, but that she could stay for the current class. When we we told him this class was recommended and did not see any information on the website about adaptive classes, he just said oh yeah we don't put that online. Before we attended the class, we made sure to fill out the student profile to make the staff aware of my daughter's diagnosis. Upon reviewing her profile, they could have let us know about all of our options since they do not provide this information online. At one point he started calling my daughter tippy toes. Making a nickname out of something many autistic children struggle with, was upsetting. At the end he said they did not have any time to focus on my daughter because they had too many kids. I never expected the focus to be solely on my daughter (even though the staff definitely made more of an effort to help the youngest gymnasts). I just wanted a place where she could feel included and supported, not made fun of. This class would have been a challenge for anyone being introduced to gymnastics for the first time. Had the staff seemed like they cared about helping my daughter and hadn't laughed at her difficulty speaking, we would have definitely come back for an adaptive class. Please make an attempt to train your staff in interacting with students of all abilities before you create another miserable experience for a special needs family. read more

We have been coming here for a few months. Our 3 and 4 year old girls had so much fun that we went from once a week to signing up for their summer camp. It's the perfect place where fitness meets fun in the most friendly way. The gym is specially designed for young kids, offering a safe and energetic environment for children to discover the joy of being active. The equipments are colorful and the coaches/trainers are fun, friendly and enthusiastic. I don't know how they do it but they remember each of the kids names every time! Flexible schedule, reasonable price, ample parking. You can only sign up online through their apps. Two thumbs up for my girls. Highly recommend this place! read more

I've taken both of my kids ages almost two and four to gymnastics classes here and they have both had wonderful experiences.

My daughter has been taking classes here for a couple of years. We started with the Parent and Me class, and she's been moving through the little kids classes since then. She loves the classes--they help build her confidence, and she always has a lot of fun and gets a good workout. Coach Ashleigh, Coach Gabe, and all the other coaches are wonderful. Very caring and fun, while helping the kids learn. It's a very low-pressure, welcoming environment. read more

We have been coming for 2 years because the staff here is so easy to work with and does a great job even when there is alot going on! Coaches Ashley, Talia, Brian, and Miles all are great with the kids. read more

They host pop up camps on days when school is closed; lifesaver! My kids really enjoy going.

Fantastic place where children can thrive and be themselves! We recently hosted a birthday party here. Let me tell you, working with Coach Ashley and owner Brian were so accommodating and easy to work with. Customer service was phenomenal-- reaching them was easy and they followed up several days and weeks before our party. The icing on the cake was seeing all 17 kids fully immerse themselves on the gym floor with confidence because Coach Ashley and Coach Anna were both gentle and firm with safety rules and fun routines and exercises. 10/10 recommend for future birthday parties and being a regular attendant. read more

Our son loves his sessions here! The instructors are young but very kind, helpful and attentive. It's a really fun, diverse program of physical activity that helps kids get stronger and improve their gross motor skills. Def recommend! read more

My toddler loved the 0-2yo class and now loves her 3-4yo class. Lots of fun with age appropriate structure and the coaches let the kids go at their own pace. read more

Take my kid there since 3 years old. He loves it and he is doing better and better in controlling/using his body properly to achieve different gymnastic movements. read more

My son was invited to a birthday party here and he had fun. The staff was attentive and was there to support any of the kids if they were afraid of the activities. Though it's a smaller gym, there are quite a few things to do. If your child is into being a gymnast, I think this is a cute little fun place to take your kids to. read more

My son is a client of regional center and has special needs. This is his recreational activity through regional center. He is 4 and loves it. The teachers are so inclusive and encouraging. He asks to go to class multiple times a day (but we only attend Saturdays!). There is a young man who is a helper and will pay special attention to my son, helping him through all the activities. He is amazing and patient and a great coach. This program is awesome read more

If you are looking for a place where play based learning is prioritized, this is the place for you. The coaches are so wonderful. My 5 year old twins come here weekly for more than a year and one of them is pretty rambunctious and they have so much patience with her. We love coach Brian and coach Ashley, and coach Anna. They have been wonderful teachers; patient and gentle. The girls have progressed beautifully while being safe and having so much fun. read more

See all

My 5 year loves this place. Tumbling, trampoline, foam pit. And a good combo of instructed time and free play.

This is such a wonderful place in the community for kids to learn the basics of gymnastics. Brian, Ashley, Anna, and the rest of the team are patient and caring instructors. Parents/caregivers can stay to watch as kids run, jump, stretch, and move in a dynamic obstacle-course kind of setting. The only downside is that its for kids only! Check out their parents-night-out and their camps. Your kids will be happy and tired at the end of their visit. read more

Took my 3 year old for a trial class and Ashley the instructor was very impatient and unprofessional. She was constantly picking up my daughter to the point that she marked her back. She singled out my child by kicking her out of the class. She picked her up and handed her to me without saying anything like she needs a break. My daughter started crying. What upset me was that other children were acting the same as my daughter, but yet she got kicked out! Here's a picture of my daughter's back after we got home. I called the gym but no one answered. Ashley needs more training and patience, especially working with small children. read more

GymnastiKids - The instructor Ashley marked my daughter's back picking her up - Gyms Near Me - Pasadena, California

They are great but they do not enforce mask mandates. We decided to leave after a student was allowed to participate indoors without a mask.

We came here for a birthday party and I can't wait to bring my kids back. We have an almost 5 yo and almost 2 yo. The older one was a bit shy at first, but they both were sad to leave at the end. The two coaches were great at getting the kids involved and excited about what they were doing. read more

So far I'm loving this place! Just started my son here and the patience the coach shows is amazing working with little boys. He's just the right amount of pressure and relaxed. If you want to get your kids more confident physically, this is the place to go. read more

The owner of this gym is a true gem. My kids have aged out of this gym and moved on from gymnastics but he and his staff were always so kind and understanding with the kids as well as teaching gymnastics skills and personal growth. read more

So impressed with how this place is ran! We've been to birthday parties here over the years but the camps are amazing!!!! My son just finished his second day for spring break camp and he leaves happy sweaty and ready to talk about all the fun he had! My son is 6 and can't wait to go back. read more

Brought my daughter here for her first class and omg! How amazing are the instructors, hands on, helpful, nice and listen. We had such a great experience and we can't wait to be back read more

My daughter loves it here. It's not competitive gymnastics, it's intro stuff. They teach stretches, balancing and have trampolines and a foam pit. The classes are 1 hour long (for the 4yr olds anyway). The classes are usually small so the kids get a lot of attention. It's the perfect pace to let your kid try all of those stunts that they normally use the couch for... They give you the first class for free, so you have nothing to lose by checking this place out. read more

My son started a couple months ago here. He has a fear of heights and coming here has helped him with that. He went from never going on a slide to going on his own and climbing at the local playgrounds. Coach Bryan is really great at helping the kids get more comfortable doing a variety of activities that help strengthen their arms and legs. He also really good at making the kids feel comfortable when trying new activities. For anyone with kids who may have fear of heights and for anyone who have kids who are not very physically active this is a great place to get them comfortable jumping and climbing. read more

I took a group of 9 kids from 7-11 years olds for a playdate and they all loved it. It was forecasted to be a rainy day and I was looking for indoor play options. Owner was very accommodating and was able to arrange for this private play date for 1.5-2 hours. read more

My kids love this place and keep signing up for more. Nice instructors in a stress-free non-competitive gymnastics experience My 8 and 5 year olds can't be in the same class so we try to find back to back classes for them read more

I came here earlier this week to have my kid take a class for free! We attended the 3-4 year old class. It was only one class but I caught the one of the last sessions of a 2-month series. The class was very comfortable, safe, fun-filled and age appropriate / the instructors were patient and sweet, but firm in the sense that the kids followed through on what they asked of them. We recently moved back from out of state so I've been looking high and low (with little reward) for a class with these features. My daughter loved it, too. For all of the above: 5 stars Two suggestions I would make would be to extend the class from 45 minutes to 1 hour. The kids seemed to still have a lot of energy and the class seemed just a little too short for the cost, which leads to my second suggestion: The series is too expensive for me - $20 a class, so $160 for 8, 45-minute sessions. For these 2 reasons: -1 star If money is not an issue or if this seems like a reasonable price, then this is a fantastic class and studio for young children. Please support them so when we get a pay raise from work, our kids will have the opportunity to have fun there too! read more

My 1.5 year old daughter absolutely LOVES her Saturday morning sessions with Miss Emily. The environment is encouraging and totally non-competitive, which was very important to us. If you're looking for your toddler to get tumbling instruction, this is probably not the place for you. There is the option to participate in an obstacle course which is demonstrated by the teacher, but because these are little-tykes, there is no forcing or even cajoling. My daughter tends to watch the demonstration and then immediately hurl herself back into the ball pit. The real purpose of the "class" is to let the kids explore their bodies and build confidence. The area is the perfect size for the kids to have their own room to move around at their own pace and at their own direction. There is never a "line" for equipment, so the kids are able to be active for the full 45 minutes. Our regular instructor, Emily, is happy and friendly and works to create a positive environment for the kids (and their parents) which is EXACTLY what we were looking for - all fun, no pressure. Additionally, it seems that this environment brings out the right kind of parents. In the 10 weeks we've been there, I haven't seen any major parent-induced meltdowns or stage-mom meddling. I also love the fact at least half the kids are there with dads each week (including my daughter). I think I'm one of the many moms who gets a Saturday morning sleep-in while they are busy jumping on the trampoline floor, climbing on the foam equipment and hanging from the uneven bars!! The center is not part of a chain and really feels very family oriented - we see the same faces week after week, which is wonderful. It's obvious that many of the families have been coming for years, which is a further testament to how they run their business. We love Gymnastikids and when I realized I had recommended it to all the parent's in my daughter's daycare class, I realized I should write a Yelp review, too! read more

I was at GymnastiKids for a baby shower and it turned out to be one of the best baby showers I've attended. Jenny and David were our instructors and they were great at engaging 10+ kids in gymnastic-type activities over the course of a couple of hours with two rest breaks in-between. These activities included a few rounds around an obstacle course, running jumps into a foam pit*, matching body parts to colored objects, and "tower jumping" into a foam pit. Throughout our time there, both Jenny and David were friendly and enthusiastic. As an adult, being able to relax and not worry about the kids going astray or getting bored was priceless. Added bonus were the clean bathrooms, one of which I noticed had a baby changing table as well. I would definitely recommend GymnastiKids to other parents looking for a place to host an event, whether it be a birthday party or baby shower. * I haven't come across a foam pit at the other kid gym places I've been to, so this was a pretty cool and notable feature. read more

My daughter started about a month ago, and I'm really pleased with it! Granted she's 4 years old, and I can't speak to whether the older kids get more into the actual learning of gymnastics stuff (so if you're looking to train your future olympic gymnast, I can't say whether this is the spot) but if you're looking for an opportunity for your little one to just get out, try new things, tumble, jump and climb.. this is definitely it. And the price is pretty worth it! I think the teachers do a great job (even if sometimes there are a lot of kids, they manage to keep it running pretty smooth!) read more

Just took our son there for his birthday ... again! Great indoor birthday choice (you never know about this weather in November) and my son again had an awesome time!! Just on paper, the price is great compared to other indoor gyms. But also keep in mind the entire session is GUIDED. Meaning the instructors do a lot of the work. The parents can join in (ours did ... it was a blast) and the kids really got into it. I have one little knock on this, (not worthy of knocking down the star rating), and that is the area for the parents to watch and mingle is long and narrow, not as ideal as it could be, and no getting around that really because the place is built for gymnastics classes and that dimension is great for a viewing area. For parent mingling it's not as easy. And that's it. Everything else is great! Overall A++ 5 stars! read more

Well run and friendly staff. My 6 year old son enjoyed his time at this gym. It's good for beginners, but if your a bit more of a serious gymnast, than I would go else where. read more

So great with kids!!! My kids love it here, and the staff are friendly! They are flexible if my child is sick or misses a class and makeup is needed. This is much appreciated and we keep returning when the kids want to start up again. read more

Love Gymnastikids! Just celebrated my daughter's 5th birthday here and it was a blast. The kids had a great time and the parents were loving the energetic and fun instructors. We also take weekly gymnastics class here and it's a hit. Highly recommend! read more
