My daughter wanted to start gymnastics and could not find a place with structure and good coaches. We were referred by a friend to the adaptive athlete and have been going for nearly two years. My daughters look forward to going to class weekly! The classes are structured and the student to teacher ratio is great. The gym is clean & safe, I feel great about my girls going here. The price is fair considering the wonderful gym and instructors. I do wish they offered a sibling discount & a referral program as I have had friends bring their kids here too. read more

This is a spacious, clean, well maintained, and orderly company. My children's coach, Sidney, is an excellent trainer. Her aptitude to work with children of various ages, shows the high quality of coaches The Adaptive Athlete hires. Front desk secretaries are always helpful answering questions, rescheduling classes when my kiddos are sick, and they create an atmosphere of professionalism, friendliness, and care for the students and parents. Highly recommend this thriving company for parents with children who need a physical education class, develop good sportsmanship, grow in responsibly and ownership of personal integrity, and growth in physical endurance. Love this place and the people that make this possible. read more

The adaptive athlete is a place of excitement, joy and happiness :) I highly recommend this gym to everyone I meet. There is so many classes and events to attended and just a great experience overall. read more

Hands down the best gymnastics classes to start your little one in! My daughters have both vastly improved in their gymnastic abilities but also their confidence and determination! Gymnastics classes have quickly become their favorite part of the week and they continually practice their new skills at home in between classes. Every single instructor has been top notch and professional. The facility is very inviting and always very clean and well taken care of. The owner and family are absolute gems and pour their heart and soul into their business. Highly recommend! read more

The Adaptive Athlete - Gymnastics Near Me - Upland, California

One of the most difficult parts of being a parent to a kiddo with autism is finding allies in your community. An ally is someone that understands, supports, and empathizes with your child's disability. Community allies provide a safe space, free of judgment, for our kiddos to explore and realize their talents and special interests. The Adaptive Athlete is not a community ally. Adaptive Gymnastics classes consist of a tumble track obstacle course, group stretching, and free play. If your child elopes from the obstacle course activity, instructors do not support parents in helping re-engage their children. If your child happens to cross into a Neurotypical class you will be met with dirty looks or flat out rude and demeaning comments. It is unclear if the staff has any training or credentials at all. Evidence Based Practices and behavior strategies are not utilized or understood. The staff has no understanding of proprioception and sensory supports for autistic children. This is a tragedy because our children have so few community supports and social resources in our area. It really pains me to remove my 6-year-old son from this program because he truly loves playing here but I need to protect him from judgment, ignorance, and discrimination. If you are a parent of a child with Autism, beware of the Adaptive Athlete. read more

There is nothing adaptive or inclusive about this gym. I enrolled my 6 yro autistic child in the adaptive class for neurodivergence. We were immediately judged upon arrival by staff and other ASD parents (which was wild to me). This was not a welcoming experience. It's just upsetting that we finally had something catered to ASD close by for it to be this disappointing. Autistic kids elope, don't listen to direction right away, and have other siblings that have to come along! None of this was catered. There many other programs out there better than the adaptive athlete that are more inclusive to families. I asked for an immediate refund. If you're going to market to the neurodivergent, do better! read more

We love Adaptive! My daughter has been doing gymnastics here for 2 years now and she has grown and learned so much. My toddler and niece have also started classes too and look forward to it every week. As a mom I love how clean this place is and their friendly instructors. read more

Tried the Sweet Peas program for 3 months. The coaches are cold and dismissive, never once said hello or smiled to myself or to the other parents. They had no control over the students and then were rude to the parents about it. Just not quite the warm inviting environment I was hoping for for myself and my 3 year old. read more

Have a 6yo girl and an 8yo boy and they love their classes. Love the way how they teach and their patience with kids. read more

We love The Adaptive Athlete! My daughter started in the Three Peas class at age 3, and it was the perfect introduction to basic tumbling. The class sizes are small enough (usually 4-6 kids) so that everyone gets ample time and attention. The instructors are so kind and patient, and most importantly, they love kids! Every class for us looked different, with different stations, activities, and obstacles set up so that the little ones never got bored. I now have my 8 month old in their Wee Peas class, which is amazing because it's FREE! We love the staff, especially Ms. Bianca, Ms. Brittany, and Ms. Jillian, who have always made us feel like family. It's pretty amazing watching them work with their special needs students as well. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

My daughter really enjoys this place! We really enjoy coming every week! I highly recommend

Unfortunately, this company was very inconsiderate and unkind with their communications towards me. I felt very unwelcome and they truly made me feel like I was a waste of time. I am very disappointed in this company but the facility and services they have to provide are great, even if their management is not. read more

Only reason why I chose one star is because I have to select one to write a review. I am so disappointed with the gymnastics program they run here. Had my daughter enrolled in a Saturday class and realized they didn't really pay attention to all the kids so I switched her to a smaller class come to fine out it still had the same amount of kids with only one instructor. They do not take the time out to teach the kids the proper techniques and my daughter came to me during class crying because she noticed herself that the instructor/instructors do not pay attention nor teach her EVER. Very unprofessional! No child should feel that way.. read more

My 7.5 year old son just attended his first "Parent Night Out" event this evening, and he loved it! The staff is accommodating and reassuring. It was such a relief knowing he was in well trained capable hands. He can't wait to go back AND his 9 year old brother wants to go now! read more

We LOVE the Adaptive Athlete! My son and I train there with Coaches Ryan and Bianca. I love how the coaches are so creative with training, especially how they make everything adaptable to our needs. The knowledge and professionalism is off the charts! Ryan has the ability to correct my form and explain why it is we do the functional movements to prevent injury and to maximize my performance. My son Austin absolutely LOVES going to workout at the Adaptive Athlete. He loves Ryan and Bianca. Bianca is very patient and also knows how to train special needs. We both love how we get to cross train with each other, it's a blast and my son gets so excited to train with his mom and peers. We 100% recommend the Adaptive Athlete. read more

This place is truly amazing. I overly babied my son and he had very little awareness of his body because of it - not coordinated, couldn't get the hang of sports, etc. We heard about this place from another parent at school and have been coming here for holiday and summer camps, along with weekly ninja classes. Everyone here is friendly and great with kids and my son looks forward to coming here every week! He just got home from his first day from summer camp and will NOT stop talking about how fun it was I HIGHLY recommend this place! read more

I cannot recommend this place enough! My son is almost 5 and has been attending the summer camps about twice a week. He LOVES being here! The staff is incredible and they greet him by name at the door. Most days, he forgets to say bye to me before running off to play! When I pick him up, he's all sweaty and tired but sooo happy. He always asks when is the next time that he can go back. We're sad the summer camps are coming to an end but there are so many different classes at this gym and so much to do, so we know we'll find another reason to visit all the time read more

Our kids, 12 and 14 years old, tried an introductory class. The gym and staff are top notch. The owner has created a wonderful place for kids of different abilities to get the exercise they need. This can be especially difficult for older kids who have outgrown the playground. We look forward to seeing our kids benefit from a weekly class. read more

We love The Adaptive Athlete! They have fitness classes for everyone ... adults, kids, special needs, etc. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Coach Ryan is awesome. I have two kids with special needs and he really takes the time to get to know them individually. He intuitively knows how to tailor their workouts based on their moods and knows just how far to push them. Both my boys adore him, as well as Miss Bianca and Miss Shelbie, who are equally as fabulous. We are over the moon that we finally found a gym that meets all our needs. Thank you! read more
