Update: the deadline given to me in the response comment was the end of the day today, and yet they still suspended my account this morning. They are gaslighting me trying to make it seem like this was my fault, when they clearly went back on their word. No integrity whatsoever, and a slap in the face to working parents trying to do the best for their kids. I emailed this gym to request a payment extension because I am a single parent with limited income. They informed me that the sign up form outlines when payment is due, which I had accepted and therefore I planned to just find a way to pay because I want my daughter to remain in the class. I'm not a cheapskate nor trying to get out of paying for anything, I just had misread the form and thought I'd try to see if they were willing to work with me. The email said I have by the end of the day the following day to pay. Then, the following day at 9:30 am, I get an email saying that they already suspended my account. So much for giving me til the end of the day to make the payment happen. I find that to be so rude and disheartening, but I guess that's what happens when a company cares more about making money than it's community. Lesson learned. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE AND THE INSTRUCTORS! I took an adult gymnastics class in February to release my inner child and it was so much fun! The instructors were extremely supportive and helpful. I will definitely take the class series again in the fall! I highly recommend. read more

Philly InMovement - Gymnastics Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Parents beware: there is little to no vetting process when hiring new staff. This establishment asked four potential new coaches to come in and be hands on with the gymnasts without running any background checks on these individuals first. After all the sexual abuse that has been exposed in the gymnastics community, the gymnasts deserve a thorough screening process before anyone walks in off the street to spot them. read more

Philly InMovement - #PhillyInMovement - Gymnastics Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Not impressed. Just spent $15 for two hours, we only made it about 45 minutes. We played upstairs and basically it was just a room with tumbling mats. That sounds great if you are a gymnast but for a mom that brought her 18 month old to play it was a major letdown. There was a shelving unit that had some absolutely filthy toys on it but no real connection to things they could use on the tumbling mats to have fun. Also I had to be on high alert the entire time as there were numerous hazards. There was another room that was a major drop off that was only made off limits by a mat put up sideways. My 18 month old quickly knocked it over knowing there was something behind it and had I not been with him he could have easily fallen into the other room. There was a bunch of crap in a corner like posters and easily opened plastic drawers that my son kept going through. And the gates they use to close off the stairs are either usually open which is not good or closed but they are similar to 1980 pet gates. Takes a determined parent to figure out how to open since they are so ghetto. This place felt kind of like bad foster parents that just take in kids for the extra monthly cash but don't feed them. One can clearly open up a tumbling gym, charge parents money and not really make much of an effort to make the experience enjoyable. read more

Amazing! We did the little tumblers class at their Northern Liberties location with my daughter and she loves it!

I took my daughter to the movers and shakers class for a few sessions since she was about 18 months old. I preferred this class to the regular tumblers class because they do more circle time with singing and movement before getting into the gymnastics stuff, which was the right balance for her. The staff is really sweet and caring, and they do a really good job with the kids. The only downsides are that it's a little on the expensive side for a 45 minute toddler class, and they don't typically do make up classes for weather cancellations. I like the open gym drop ins, but the times aren't often nap-friendly for us; they're worth checking out if you just want to give it a try before signing up. Also keep an eye on their website for early bird discounts for registering for a class. read more

Best Birthday Party Ever! We have done the free play and a class and most recently a birthday party for our four year old. The party was we'll organized fast paced and perfectly planned to the minute. We were looking for a low stress party. We did the DIY party last year and this year needed a break. The three staff members did everything from set up to clean up. They even took care of wiping the cup cakes off the kids faces. They also knew all the kids names! Seriously impressive! We opted for the add on bounce house and it was a huge hit. The previous review said that the staff isn't involved in open gym but they make that crystal clear. Open gym is not a free class. Open gym is a time for you to play with your kid at a gym. How cool is that!? The classes are wonderful too. Check them out and see for yourself. There is something for everyone there. read more

I have attended birthday parties here will my preschoolers and finally hosted my son's party here in June. They were awesome! The kids get lots of free play time, but the best part is the facilitated time. The woman who appears to do most of the faciliated time is amazing with the kids and has great ideas. The space isn't so big but that is nice because everyone stays close and within eye-sight. Per the standard package, we brought drinks, snacks, and cake. The party helpers were just that - very helpful. Overall, a wonderful experience and I would do it again. read more

This place is pretty fun for my kids. There are lots things for them to do and play on, some they can do, and some require a grown-up's help, but all are fun and safe. PROS- - between the monkey bars, trampoline, the rings and the rock wall, your kid will get plenty of safe playtime and exercise - if your kiddo isn't as adventurous or is still too small for the tumbling activities, the staff have provided toys and instruments for the little ones to play with - bubble time at the end of class CONS- - kind of a small free play area (although not as small as the 1st InMovement was) - the staff is pretty non participatory during free play TIPS- - there are adult classes and courses too! Check them out - If you are unsure about the classes, purchase the package deals. They give you a certain amount of free play times (although there is a strict free play time schedule and the times change everyday) read more

My son had his 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Birthday parties at InMovement. He started taking classes at InMovement when he was 5. He enjoys Boys Level I gymnastics and he's gained a lot of upper body strength and agility from the classes. Kermani is excellent as a primary coach/teacher. Sara, Karlee, and Nancy are great at managing all of the activities and keeping us informed about our son and the available activities. All of the teachers and staff are very good at channeling the raw energy of the children into learning gym skills or playing safely in the gym. The after school pick-up is also a great option. read more

I haven't been to InMovement since I attended class with my daughter. She is now 3 and was invited to a birthday party here for one of her classmates. This was one of the best run children's parties I have been to. There was time for "free play" but a lot of structured activity. The girl running the party was sweet and really engaging the kids. It was only an hour and a half, but it was plenty of time for activities and food. I am now considering having my daughter's next birthday here and would try another class based on this good experience. read more

If one of the things you're hoping for your kid to do is make progress in gymnastics, this may not be the place for you. My kid likes the classes (and we've taken several)--and that's great. The difficulty we have run into is that InMovement makes no accommodations for continuity. Each class enrollment is a Darwinian 'first come, first served' race, and the popular classes and slots fill up within mere hours. If you weren't smart or savage enough to be online at 12:01 am on the pre-enrollment day, the fact that your kid did great in his current class doesn't give you any standing to get into the next, so development grinds to an abrupt halt. Decent instructors. Reasonable prices. But their disdain for their clientele is Comcastian (if that's a word). I look forward to another gymnastics business opening somewhere--almost anywhere--in Philadelphia. read more

In Movement has moved to new, larger studio space just off of Bainbridge St. My daughter has attended several sessions. Good instructors, nice space, recommended! read more

Sara Trindade and Philly InMovement is such a wonderful place. As a parent, I feel so lucky to have it right here in walking distance from where we live. My kids have been students of Ms. Sara's since they were babies. There are tons of classes to choose from. The staff is super nice and knowledgeable about early childhood development and motor skills. Thank you, Philly InMovement!! read more

Great Gym for kids. Trampolines, floor mats, and more. The staff are extremely attentive and really get the kids involved! Our son loves it!

My daughter recently began taking classes and In Movement and we decided to have her 4th birthday there this past weekend (8/31). The experience was smooth and it made for a special and memorable birthday. We received a courtesy call in the morning informing us that some blocks were blocked off and to allow extra time for parking, which was nice. The party went very smoothly thanks to the team of girls being on top of everything! They were engaged and enthusiastic which helped set the tone for a fun day. They helped set everything up at the beginning and packed everything up for us at the end. In between, the instructors kept the momentum going, starting out with some ice-breaker activities, then some guided free play time, followed by cake and food. My wife and I couldn't have asked for a better party for our daughter and would recommend Philly In Movement to anyone for classes or a birthday party! read more

This place is amazing! My daughter has been there with the staff since she was four and that was almost ten years ago she absolutely loves it loves the staff loves the center she is currently on the xecel team and couldn't be more thrilled she has been progressing so much in her gymnastics we can't wait to see all future renovations to the gym! read more

We absolutely love this place! My son has been going there for classes since he was one year old and he is now 4. The teachers are fantastic and wonderful with the children. They have classes for every age level. It is clean and the equipment and mats are in great condition. We have also attended birthday parties there and had a great experience as well! I highly recommend this place! read more

We recently had our son's 2nd birthday party here and it exceeded our expectations! Hayley and Maia were fantastic. They kept things moving perfectly so the kids were always engaged. They also set up the party room for us so all we had to do was show up and enjoy. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out! read more

I've just started taking my daughter here for Baby Gymmers and hope to return time and time again as she gets older. The staff is patient and gentle with the small kids as they learn and explore. There's a lot of mixed play on the mats time with wonderful learning time using specific movements (stretches, summer salts, etc.). Both Miss Jessica and Miss Sarah work the little ones around the room to familiarize them with their environment and using their bodies with confidence. Worth every penny to join a class there! read more

I just had my daughters birthday party here in February. I had never been there before but it had good reviews from my friends and yelp. The party was everything I expected and all my guest enjoyed themselves. The teachers were great with the kids and everything was organized and on time down to the minute. I'm so happy with got the extra half hour. I will say the moon bounce was great but maybe for older children . I insisted on helping but they took over and setup, decorated, cleanup and packed everything to go. If you are looking to have a party here.. look no further. I wish i remember the teachers name because you should request them. -signed londons mom :-) read more

I love this place. They take care of the kids with love and gentle directions. They teach the kids to use their bodies, and to appreciate what their bodies can do. I've been to and hosted birthday parties.. and its the perfect party place for 3-6 year olds. The location is ideal for QV. Only downside is that its small. read more

I was a student here for 3 years. It was an awful experience. Sara, the owner visibly only cared about the money. She was never there and depended on the obviously overworked instructor staff to take care of over 4 classes going on at once in the space. The instructors never taught any new skills, and one in particular (Mr.Jesus) was rude and disrespectful to the students when they fell behind. The owner pushed for the nationalization of the level requirements allowing for competitions and prizes, pushing older classes (like mine) to the side as we weren't at the required skill level. The previously social and relaxed setting of gymnastics class became a soulless gymnast factory that relied on money and medals to work. The instructors who made class fun and productive (Ms. Melissa, Ms. Niya, Mr. Malik) were nowhere to be found after this took place. I don't blame them. I would never try to go back either. read more

If you have a special needs child, this gym is NOT for you! Sara seemed like an understanding person who would welcome all children of all types. We took my autistic son to the gym to introduce him to the facility and to speak to Sara. She seemed on board so we joined him in the Monday class for beginners. On the day my son was having his first class he was yelling, something he might do until he gets familiar with a new environment. I was told that he was disruptive. i was getting nasty looks from the parents who were there. Sara was NOT supportive of us. She was very uncaring and rigid. She had no compassion for my son and was unwilling to give him a chance. CONSIDER ANOTHER GYM! read more

My daughter loves her gymnastics class. The coaches are fabulous and know how to handle a group of small children. While the facility is very small, they have used the space wisely. Every week is something new and kid friendly. I look forward to many more years attending InMovement! read more

My child has been taking gymnastics lessons at PhillyInMovement for 3 years and LOVES it. The instructors are generous, warm, and thoughtful about their instruction. They have challenged her not only to be strong in gymnastics, but also to be a creative thinker who is collaborative and thoughtful about her own safety and behavior. read more

My daughter has been participating in InMovement gymnastic classes for several years. We are so happy with the classes and progress. The staff does a great job of teaching the required skills in a fun environment that builds teamwork and strength/conditioning. We have enjoyed their summer camp and vacation camp programs as well. Try an open gym or intro class - your kids will love it! read more

Sara may be a great gymnast and dancer, but we don't think she is great with kids. This is based on personal observation and what our children told us. There are much better programs out there with more patient and caring instructors. read more

Entitled parents and unhelpful staff ruined what could have been a great regular play option for my son. I found out about this place thru a LivingSocial deal. (5 open session classes for $30) I tried to go 3 times for my deal. 1st time was a success and my kid loved it. 2nd time they said it was a special event and my certificate didn't apply. I paid out of pocket because my kid wanted to play. We left 20 minutes later because the place was packed beyond the stated capacity and the staff refused to intervene when kids were bullying my 2 year old who just wanted a turn on ANYTHING. 3rd time I tried to go, they changed their open play hours for summer camp. It apparently was on their website but it took the staffer a few minutes to find it because it was so burried. Would have been nice if they answered their phones that morning when I called to check before packing up my toddler and leaving the house. I politely complained and the staffer eventually took my name & number for someone to call me back but it's been weeks and I still haven't heard a peep. My kid just wanted to play and this seemed like a great place for him to come. We have memberships at many kids places across the region and he stays very active. But I guess we just weren't Society Hill enough for this place to be bothered to see that we have a good time. Thanks Living Social for allowing me to see that before I gave them any more money. read more

Bait and switch, rip off, simple as that. To be fair this is not to speak of their quality as a dance school or their facility. I've never been there so I can't speak to that.This is to speak of their bad business. we bought a 6 pass to their open gym. Little did we know that we wouldn't be able to use it on the weekends (when we're actually home to take the kids, like most families who work Monday-Friday). So this is definitely our fault for not realizing this before we bought it although when my wife bought it I doubt they advertised when you can or cant go. However, my wife was home a couple of Fridays so they were able to go then. I was left with 2 passes and thought it would be great to take them on President's Day, as their day care was closed and I stayed home with them. I was pleased to see on their schedule "Open Gym - Unplugged". I called to confirm this is happening, only for the girl to inform me that this is not the usual open gym, but this one is WAY cooler with a live musician. Excellent, I thought. But then she continued to inform me that this is not the regular $15, since they have a musician this is $20. So since I had the pass with $20 credit on it (for open gyms) I said that I'd be happy to pay the difference. Unfortunately, she said, I won't be able to apply the credit from the regular open gym to this special one. WHY?????? Isn't $20 for this the same $20 for that??? I wasn't about to pay $40 (2 kids) to a place I have $20 credit to! If I was flush with money maybe I would, but unfortunately, we're not. I'm all for capitalism, but this is simply bad business on the part of the ownership. Such a rip off! read more
