Coach Isaac and The Gymnastics Bus are the best! My 3 year old daughter absolutely LOVES it and gets her Gym Bus T-shirt ready every Monday morning in anticipation of Friday's lesson. She is enamored by Coach Isaac and always talks about how nice and helpful he is. We also love the monthly videos he sends of our daughter showing off her newly-learned skills. We are so thrilled we signed her up and are lucky for such a great role model in Coach Isaac. read more

Coach Isaac and The Gymnastics Bus has been my son's first introduction to ANY organized sport. Wow! I feel so lucky that The Gymnastics Bus goes to my son's preschool and that this AMAZING coach, mentor and professional has been able to teach my son in such a fun environment! The bus is colorful, playful and a completely controlled and safe space for children to be introduced to a beautiful sport. Body awareness, balance, muscle control, listening- i have loved hearing about what my kid learns from Isaac each week. He LOVES it. Parents also get sent videos from class! Soooo appreciated as we are unable to witness in real time some pretty special learning moments!! Thanks Isaac. :) read more

The Gymnastics Bus - Happy kiddo!! - Gyms Near Me - Novato, California

The absolute best! Coach Isaac clearly knows what the kiddos want and need, and provides a wonderful gymnastics experience!!

Coach Isaac brings his amazing bus to my child's preschool. My son doesn't like to participate in a lot of activities but he loves the Gymnastics Bus and he's been doing it for a couple of years. And I can tell that a lot of that has to do with Coach Isaac's skills in working with kids. The bus is amazing, too! And probably the best part is that Coach Isaac sends the parents videos of what their child worked on that week. As working parents know, any little glimpse into what their child is doing during the day is much appreciated! I didn't realized that The Gymnastic Bus did birthday parties too, but we might need to look into that before my son gets too big. If you get a chance, you should definitely check out Coach Isaac and his amazing Gymnastics Bus. read more

Emmitt just loves Coach Isaac and the gymnastics bus. So much that every day we go to daycare he asks if the gymnastics bus will be there (he is signed up every Monday). I think it is a great activity for toddlers. If you haven't already done so, make sure to try it out. read more

I have been avoiding Yelp for years, but after seeing The Gymnastics Bus only has 2 reviews at the time I'm writing, I HAD to give in and write a review. I heard about The Gymnastics Bus through a coworker who's son had attended a birthday party on TGB and it sounded great, if not a bit impossible to imagine....gymnastics? bouncing, hopping, foam pit, zip lining kids in a BUS? Really? Cut to my son's 5th birthday... I decided to give it a try. Being as we'd just bought our little old house right before the recession hit the hardest, we were on a super tight budget. So just get a cake and have an oversized play date at home, you say? Not an option, as our house was under repair from the roof giving way during winter rains...what to do? Renting any community rooms, school gyms, gymnastics centers or other spaces were all well beyond our budget. The park was out of the question- that option is really only for summer and fall birthdays, unless being wet and freezing is your idea of a good time. We booked the bus, Coach Isaac would come to us at our choice of location. I thought about all the preschoolers' parents that we'd have hanging around and decided to have him meet us at a cafe in a shopping center with a big parking lot. The parents all hung out at the cafe- sipping their coffees, having lunch and adult conversations (!) while Coach Isaac kept the ever-energetic group of 12(!) preschoolers in constant motion and safely contained in the bus for AN HOUR AND A HALF!!! The parents could check up on their kiddos at any point, and be right on hand for potty breaks or in case any shy types changed their minds about participating....but none did. When time was up, all the kiddos exited the bus very reluctantly but with smiles on their faces, excitedly telling their parents all about all the cool things they got to do. It was amazing. I couldn't believe how many different activities were packed into that bus! It was like a bus version of Mary Poppins' bag. Coach Isaac has experience as a preschool teacher and exuded such happiness and warmth for these little people, and his manner for 'correcting' or otherwise dealing with some -shall we say- strong little personalities was kind & positive but firm. After the initial 'testing' or 'sussing' him out, these littles decided it would be more fun to follow the safety guidelines and stick around and play. My son would get so excited when we'd see the bus driving around town, or on the freeway, and would have me unroll the window so he could wave. He'd always get a smile and wave or 'toot-toot' in return. Over the weeks and months, parents would tell me their kids did the same- which tells me their kids enjoyed their time on TGBas much as my son did. We booked The Gymnastics Bus for every birthday until my son aged out. I'd say that is the ONLY downside- that the kiddos eventually outgrow the space. We decided we had to have another son so we could have TGB birthdays again and see Coach Isaac and his smiles. Kidding. Well, we do have son #2, and he's super excited looking forward to celebrating his birthday on TGB again this year. (and big brother LOVES that he gets to 'assist' Coach Isaac!) read more

This is the first year that my son has been introduced to Coach Isaac and the Gymnastics Bus and I am so glad that we decided to sign him up via our preschool. This is one of the only activities that he comes home excited to tell us about what he learned without us having to ask. And the best added feature! The videos that he sends! I am such a proud mama when we receive them and love sharing it with his grandparents so they can see how he's growing and learning! Highly recommend! read more

We've been using the gymnastics bus since 2010, and have loved it every time. Coach Isac is so kind and really gets the kids excited over the activities (which leads to very tired littles)! We have a little who is getting excited to get in on the action! read more

Coach Isaac is the best! My girls always look forward to his visits and we love watching their progress after every class, both in the videos he provides and also in person. Thanks for everything Coach! read more

The Gymnastics Bus hits the sweet spot: the kids love it, they're learning balance, strength, and coordination while stretching their abilities, and it all happens developmentally right when they need it the most. Both of my kids have been in the 'Bus, and have come out confident and coordinated (and terrifyingly capable on the trampoline). The improvement is noticeable and immediate. Kudos to Coach Isaac for being an essential part of my kids' preschool experience. read more

The Gymnastic Bus and Coach Isaac are the highlight of my 3 year olds week. This is my second kiddo going through his classes through our preschool. Isaac is amazing with the kids, and it's quite impressive all the skills he can teach in his bus. We also used the Gymnastics Bus at our oldest's birthday party and it was the perfect activity for some squirmy 4 year olds in November. read more

My 3 year old loves the gymnastics bus. It is the highlight of her week at school. She also loves to watch the videos coach Isaac sends of her doing her tricks she learned. read more

My son started the Gymnastics Bus at three years old - I thought it would be an incredible experience since he loves to tumble and is very active. I came to learn that Coach Isaac has the children sitting and listening to instruction or waiting their turn for long periods of time - totally counter-intuitive to what a tumbling class should be for three year olds. Because my son at three had a hard time sitting still and waiting so much, he often ended up in trouble or Time Out which sends a pretty negative message when the experience is supposed to be fun. In fact, Coach Isaac announced loudly in front of all of the children and visiting parents that my son is hyperactive and needs to be diagnosed. Ultimately I didn't find Coach Isaac to be warm and loving but very structured with a cold personality. I also found the cost structure to be way too expensive for the services - read more

Our family loves Coach Isaac! Our daughter takes a lesson with her schoolmates once a week. He is very patient with the kids. He also records a portion of the lesson and emails it for us to see. We love this as we would otherwise have no way to see her perform due to our busy work schedules. All the videos are absolutely appreciated. Thank you, Coach Isaac! You are the best!! read more

Awesome! That's how my daughter (and I) feel about Coach Isaac's Gymnastics Bus. The bus pulls up to my daughter's preschool once a week and it is an absolute highlight. The kids all get to climb on board, and do gymnastics with Coach Isaac who actually teaches little preschoolers actual gymnastics. The bus is rad. He's taken out all the seats in a huge yellow bus, and put in all gymnastics equipment. I have also had my older child attend a bday party where the bus pulled up out front. So cool! Isaac is responsible, kind, super organized, and professional. We receive videos each week of our child trying out their new trick too which is cool. Can't recommend The Gymnastics Bus highly enough. read more

I'm so​ glad we signed him up and highly recommend it. read more

My daughter has been going to The Gymnastics for almost a year. Sadly, since she's going to Kindergarten next year, her classes will be ending in August. I've always wanted to introduce her to gymnastics but didn't have the time to take her to classes so having the bus roll up to her preschool was a major plus. On Gymnastics Bus day, she always excitedly tells me what she learned. The best part are the videos that he sends every few weeks. It makes me feel like I'm there and I love seeing how excited she is. Today, I just watched all the videos in one sitting (they are about a minute each) and watched her grow before my eyes. I highly recommend enrolling your child in the classes! read more

My 5 year old son loves Coach Isaac and the Gymnastics Bus! He looks forwards to his weekly sessions when the bus pulls up at his preschool. Coach Isaac is kind and engaged with the kids and even shares videos with parents, since they cannot see the class in person. I love the confidence and the progress that's been building over the past year. Thanks, Coach! read more

Coach Isaac is awesome! My daughter always looks forward to her weekly classes. Since the parents are not there, he sends videos of your children:) read more

My 4 year old son loves The Gymnastics Bus. Coach Issac is great and sends out videos by email of what your child is practicing. My son always has a big smile on his face. While I don't believe I have an Olympian on my hands, I think the coordination and focus skills he is practicing are important. read more

My preschool daughter LOVES the gymnastics bus! She attends class every week at her school and she always comes home talking about how much fun she had. Another bonus for parents is the weekly video that Coach Isaac sends so that we get to see what they're up to in class. read more

Coach Isaac is fantastic! Coach Isaac has been great with my daughter, who normally is super shy and timid when first trying things. She is so proud of the skills she learns through Gymnastics Bus and is SUPER excited on days she has Gymnastics Bus! Coach Isaac sends videos of your child doing skills, so that you can also enjoy seeing what they did in class! read more

My son absolutely loves the Gymnastics Bus - sometimes he does not want to go to school , but when I remind him that it is Gymnastic Bus day he is happy to go. I also love getting the videos to share with family and friends. He loves Coach Isaac and I am happy to recommend him! read more

Coach Isaac is magic with children. My daughter attends the Gymnastics Bus weekly at her preschool. Before this, she was very hesitant and apprehensive about gymnastics (she grew fast and is tall for her age), but now she looks forward to gymnastics and is excited to go to school because it's "Gymnastics Bus" Day. Coach Isaac is also great about communicating with the parents and offers make up classes if your child misses due to illness, etc. The best treat of all is the weekly video he sends of your child performing that week's skill. You can see the joy in the child's face as they attempt the skill with Coach Isaac's encouragement and support. I'm so glad we were given the opportunity to take classes on the Gymnastics Bus. read more

We have Isaac and the Gymnastics Bus come to our neighborhood for a weekly class - its the highlight of my kids week. We all go outside early to cheer on the bus as it comes down the street. Our class has mixed ages and Isaac does a great job of making it fun for all the kids all while learning things like taking turns and helping each other. My favorite part is getting the videos of the kids learning the new skills. One of my sons attends Physical Therapy and the therapist wanted him to do gymnastics but it was so hard finding a class that met our schedule - having the bus come to us has worked perfectly. read more

My son has gymnastics bus every week at his preschool. He goes nuts when he sees the gymnastics bus pull up to his school! All he talks about at home is "The Magic Bus" (which is how he pronounces gymnastics..lol) Coach Isaac does an amazing job with the kids. This is the best thing for my energy filled 2 year old. Thank you Coach Isaac for being a great instructor! read more
