I go to Metro South Gymnastics Academy from time to time with my friends for their open gyms on…read moreWednesday nights! The gym is always kept super clean. They have plenty of equipment available, including: tumble track, rod floor panel, trampoline, foam pit, uneven bars, multiple balance beams, and more. Open gym cost is $15/person on Wednesdays 9-10pm (18 y/o+, participants younger than 18 must be accompanied w/ parent) I have taken a class here before many, many years ago and remember that I learned my back layout here! I got the skill the same day, in one private lesson session. As for open gyms, I typically attend a couple times a year... before, I used to go every Wednesday night. It's always a great time; the staff is friendly & super welcoming. I highly recommend MSGA for anyone looking to take gymnastics classes or simply to utilize their open gym ;) **plenty of parking available.

We've tried 4 different local gymnastics places for our daughter (due to moves and convenience of…read moreclass times) and this is #2 of 4 on our list :) Obviously, as most people know, this gym has awesome and committed instructors with deep roots in the sport (my husband took classes here when he was a kid) who truly have an interest in teaching your child, but the whole "waiting list" thing because they're so busy (we waited for almost 2 years to get a spot), insane parking situation (wintertime is a nightmare), and cramped viewing space for parents is just unbearable. If you're ok with dropping your kid off or taking a lesson on a non-busy day (if there is such a thing), this place is great. Otherwise, I recommend heading 1 or 2 towns over and finding a gym with just as good instruction with less headaches.

We'd had a few decent events at GAB, but when our 7-year-old took a class there, their true colors…read moreshowed. In the interest of brevity, here are the lowlights: 1. They put her in a class with four more experienced girls, all of whom knew each other - and the "coach" subsequently ignored those girls making fun of our daughter for not knowing as much. 2. When we brought this to the manager's (Keri) attention, they validated our concerns: "Both the coach and I had to stop the class and talk to them about their behavior several times." But their suggested solution was to move our daughter out of the class instead of continuing to make the other children improve their behavior. When I mentioned a partial refund, she couldn't get off the phone quickly enough. 3. We followed up about this numerous times, and after speaking to us twice, Keri stopped returning our calls. Eventually, we had leave work to visit the business in-person - only to be told that it would be best if they gave us a refund for the remainder of the class (but NOT the poor first few classes) and that she stopped attending. It is very clear that GAB is more interested in money than in helping build kids' confidence and manners. We won't be sending any more business their way, and advise others to stay away.

Awful experience for a birthday party at the NORWOOD LOCATION - look for alternatives (ACTON…read moreLOCATION IS GREAT). Had my daughter's birthday party at Gymnastic Academy of Boston in Norwood, and it was a mess from start to finish. VERY poorly organized and badly managed. I had to decorate the party room by myself with the help of other parents since staff was nowhere to be found. Parents were unsure where to go and had to call me to ask for directions. Party didn't start on time since the coached weren't welcoming the kids inside the gym. I wasn't able to attend the actual gym activities and take pictures because I was left with decorating and organizing the party room, including serving all the pizza and cake, making sure that kids were served when they got to the actual room. The place was left to be "run by" 2 young teenage girls, that were also the coaches who were supposed to supervise the kids and coach them through the activities- needless to say how that went.It was clear that they were underqualified, affecting the quality of the event. The only time one of the girls appeared was 10 min before the end to let me know that if we exceed the time, we will have to pay, she did care to say that while I was sweating, serving cake to the kids and even after witnessing that she just left. During the gym time, there was hardly any supervision for the kids, and they were jumping around dangerously, almost hurting each other, I heard that from multiple parents after the event was over (what an embarrassment). To make matters worse, I called the business after and asked to speak with the manager, Cindy, who returned my call after many follow ups. I explained that I would like to see the safety and staff issues addressed and compensation is more than appropriate. She assured me that she will call me back to touch base and never did. I followed up by phone and email and eventually received a reply from one of the employees offering 1 camp day. I replied that are all set for camp and that's far from an appropriate response for the organization and safety issues experienced as paying customers. I have not heard back since. This could have been resolved efficiently if my complaints were recognized and assured to be addressed along with appropriate compensation. Since neither happened I felt being brushed off which aggravated the situation even more. I am not the complaining type but given that this was my daughters birthday party and the feeling of being treated as a nuisance rather than a respected customer I decided to call the higher management and complain not only about how the event went but also about the management's unprofessional and disrespectful behavior towards their customers. I spoke with Jamie, who is the owner of the Acton location, and he was terrific and overall a great manager. He explained that the 3 GAB locations are individually owned, and he is in charge of the Acton location, while Miss Cindy is in charge of the Norwood location and is actually the daughter of the establishing founders. This is really unfortunate because if you have a problem, Cindy is the person in charge and good luck in getting an appropriate problem-solving solution from her or being taken seriously as a paying customer. Jamie really cares about his business and his clients and took full responsibility for our poorly executed event, apologizing for it and offering to throw my kids next bday party in the Acton location. He even mentioned that he tried himself to speak with Cindy about our event but is still waiting to hear back from her since she is traveling (which often seems the case every time I tried to contact her). Jamie successfully salvaged the reputation of the Acton location and I will be more than happy to conduct future business with him. This post is an adequate closure for me to let other present and future paying costumers know how this business operates. Just sad that it affected my daughters special birthday party that we were all so looking forward to.

I strongly recommend finding a different gym as this gym poses significant safety concerns. The…read moreowner does not have any experienced coaches on staff. Currently, her 18 yr old daughter is running the optional level (Level 6-10) practices even though she clearly does not have the maturity or coaching experience required to coach these levels. Furthermore, she is rude and dismissive to the Xcel gymnasts and it seems as if she intentionally seeks to destroy their confidence. When my daughter joined this gym, she joined with the understanding that she would be coached by a mature adult with decades of coaching experience. Regarding the classes for younger children, during one of our last days at this gym, I witnessed them place a young child in time-out in a back room, unsupervised. Apparently, they forgot about this child and she ended up falling asleep and was only found when her mother came to pick her up at the end of class. If you're looking for a gym that will provide a positive, structured, and professional environment, I strongly suggest you look elsewhere.
