It's a great, family-friendly gymnastics place with excellent coaches who really know what they're doing. The gym is always clean and welcoming. Our kids range from advanced to beginner levels, and they've all made wonderful progress in a fun, supportive environment. It's truly an all-around great option! Highly recommend!

Today was our daughters third class with Gym Stars ETC and we are beyond happy with our experience!…read moreThe ownership is welcoming, knowledgeable and attentive. May daughter had 5 other children in her class with 3 instructors. The ratios are nice and small giving the children a lot of one on one attention. The coach's talk to the parents at the end of class and share my child's strengths which I thought was pretty incredible. My daughter still gets shy and they are patient and encouraging throughout class. I also love that they visit two separate gyms through their session, which helps keep the children's engaged. She's learning a new skill and having fun doing it. I would highly recommend checking this place out! Oh- and I think we will sign my older son up for their ninja class. It looks super fun for boys!

Very Disappointed of the 5-year-old gymnastics class led by Jacklyn Navarro. After attending…read morethree sessions, the same issue has occurred each time: the coach spends approximately 40 minutes of the class sitting in the corner, without getting up to guide, observe, or interact with the children. While the warm-up is appropriate, once the stations begin, there is no active coaching. The children rotate through the equipment with no correction, no instruction, and no encouragement. They repeat the same movements incorrectly and do not receive any feedback on how to improve. The only station that receives any attention is the one closest to where she is seated. This results in: Children not learning or progressing Repeated mistakes with no guidance Bored and disengaged kids who are not developing confidence or interest in the sport At this age, children need a coach who is moving with them, observing, correcting form, and encouraging them -- not someone sitting apart from the class for most of the session. This is in clear contrast to our experience at Signature Gymnastics, where the coach was active, attentive, supportive, and involved. I am requesting that coaching expectations for this age group be reviewed. The children deserve active instruction and engagement from their coach.

The coaches are very diligent with safety and making sure all kids are safe and comfortable, many are saying that it is not a clean enviroment. The gym is clean, its simply just an old building. Theres so many different areas in the gym including rope swings, and a rockwall in the foam pit. I went here when I was younger and I absolutely loved it. Theres large viewing areas in the lobby for the parents to watch their kids throuhg windows on the first and second floors. Kurt was very diligent with giving me corrections and taught me so much about gymnastics. I am forever greatful for American Academy and all that they taught me!

The open gym hours from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM- which is unbeatable--most places don't offer this extended time. The facility is nice, and the staff is wonderful! A special shout-out to the friendly front desk member- she made us feel right at home. Our daughter had a blast running around on the equipment, including two tumble tracks, five trampolines, and a giant 40x40 area. They have a bunch of high beams and low beams, they have 4 sets of uneven parallel bars. Plus, the two vaulting runways and the rope to swing into the pit were a huge hit. In another room attached to big gym there is a baby gym. It's a smaller space with equipment designed just for little ones. It was perfect for our daughter to explore safely while still being part of the larger gym environment. We're excited to keep coming back to The Gym Shop for more fun and playtime! If you're looking for a great place for kids, this is it!

This review is only for this gym's use as a party facility, not for its gymnastics classes…read more Tucked away in an industrial business park in Mt. Prospect, this could be considered a "hidden gem." It's a 16,000 sq. ft. gym, operated by former USSR Olympic gymnastics champion Nataliya Kuchinskaya. Judging by the number of trophies on display, it's a go-to place for serious gymnastics instruction. Came here to attend a birthday party for Mike O's oldest son. They open the gym on weekends to host parties, which can be booked in two-hour blocks of time. Parents bring food/refreshments and the gym affords kids the use of all its equipment, which is set up with plenty of protective mats and padding. In my opinion, it's better for parties than the popular Pump It Up, since there is a variety of equipment for kids to avail themselves of. There are: balance beams, vaults, the rings, uneven parallel bars, a mini trampoline, a huge tumbling floor surface, a specially designed bouncy tumbling run (forget what it's called, but damn I bounced along pretty good), a swinging rope and an inflatable bouncy house. Throughout the party, a gym employee - an older Russian guy - walked around and helped kids as needed. He helped my 3 year old get on and off a few apparatuses, which I really liked. By far, the most popular attraction there was the huge rope that kids used to swing over and jump into a ball pit. Instead of balls, it was actually a sea of foam blocks. It was a tremendous hit with the kids, most of whom were around 4 - 5, who lined up over and over to take turns. Checked online; party rental prices seem reasonable. A two hour party for 1-15 kids is $155. Kids had a lot of fun; no one wanted to leave. Mine refused to go and fled into the inflatable house as it was deflating (and collapsing on her). What can I say - girl likes to bounce. And I bet money that every kid at that party slept well that night after all their activity.

The floor setup is still not complete, nor is the waiting area/party room for the parents and kids, but it will be bigger and better than their previous location. Already they added a second spring-loaded mat for floor exercises. I'd give them a few months to settle in since it's only been a little more than a week.

About 4 years ago, they also attended a dance class, but I noticed on my recent last visit to watch them, that the dance studios have all been removed, some remodeling done, and the whole facility is now oriented to gymnastics only. Attached are some recent photos of the remodeled sections. I don't really know anything about the administration of their programs, but the daughter is pretty happy about their program, the cost, and the girls' progress and enjoyment. Most sessions are filled months in advance, and there are waitlists for every level as their whole program is very popular. One complaint I have heard though is that when a kiddo gets promoted to the next level, they may still have to wait a few weeks or months to move up as there are no openings at the next level. They have a ton of staffers and if you want to be a junior gymnastics instructor, this place sure seems to draw a lot of them for what that's worth.
