Dynamic Gymnastics Academy

All 3 of my boys have been taking classes for over 7 years now. They have also been to the ALL preschool and day camps every single summer! We have even had their birthday parties here! I am continuously blown away by the kindness and compassion that is shown to my kids. My middle son had some behavioral issues when he was younger and the coaches and teachers always took the time to pull him aside and help calm him down. They taught him strategies to calm down and showed him so much love. I highly suggest Dynamic for not only gym classes but preschool and day camps!

My daughter has trained here for the last 2 years. She started with tumbling last year to help her balance and teach her to cartwheel. She progressed into level 1 this year. The good: • Some coaches were really good and helped my daughter to develop. By the end she could do a decent cartwheel and had better flexibility for other activities. • The viewing area is decent, and the facility is clean. The not so good: • The end of the year show is an expensive addon (~$150 with the required leotard), and the last 3-4 months of classes focus on learning the dance routine for the end of the year show. For anyone not participating in the show (most of my daughter's class) a large majority of each class is wasted on learning a dance routine instead of spending more time learning the bars, beam, etc like they did earlier in the year. • While the coach was good, she was absent too much resulting in a sub coach "babysitting" the girls with games and other time-consuming activities many nights. After 2 years, we decided not to return. Too many extra costs, wasted time, and inconsistent coaching ultimately pushed us away.

I am disheartened to see the way the summer camps are run. My 5 year old had never done gymnastics before, but she wanted to try it so I registered her for the camp. She works with an ABA clinic for her autism but is very high functioning. For her summer camps, the staff at the ABA clinic tried numerous times to reach out to see if it would be possible to send a therapist with her for the first day of the camps to help establish expectations/rules for the kiddo in a new place and show success strategies to the coaches if she started having a hard time. Multiple calls and emails were not responded to but we went forward with the camp anyway because she really wanted to try it. The coach was great, but my kiddo did feel a bit left out because she didn't have any experience. The first two days were fine. On the third day, I was called to pick up kiddo because she had been upset and hit another child. I do agree that the consequence here was valid and she needed to come home, but the coach told me on the phone it would be for the day and when I got there the coach and front desk staff told me she was not to return until the following week as they had talked to the owner. This was a shock to kiddo who thought she would get to go back the next day and she ended up even more upset and I had to carry her out. Before we left, I asked if I could give them the phone number to call the ABA clinic as the ABA clinic was willing to have the supervisors speak to the coach and offer success strategies for when she was able to return and it would also be good for them to hear the details of what happened so they could address it in their next sessions. I was told that Dynamic "does not get involved in all of that but if they send someone we wouldn't tell them to leave." I wasn't asking them to schedule anything just to call at their convenience and find a way to work with a neurodivergent kid who needed a little extra help sometimes. We did send a therapist at the start of the following session and that session seemed to go better, but my husband went to pick her up one day and no one was at the desk. When he finally located staff, no one could tell him where the kiddo was - turns out she was watching a movie in a dark room. We were told it was because the other kids had already been picked up for the day. This was surprising because I had been told at the start of the first session that it was a structured day and not to pick her up before 5:00 PM by the front office. Apparently all of the other kids were getting picked up by 4:20 PM, which we absolutely could have done if we had known it was an option. Basically, if your kid is neurodivergent and/or has never done gymnastics before, you might want to consider finding another location. Don't expect great communication either.

Last year my daughter went to dynamic and they helped her improve so much. At the time she was in level 2 and her coach said she would like to do private lessons with her but we didn't have time to do that and when she was in level 2 she was able to do a back handspring almost a full twist and a back tuck and now she is training to do it on the floor and is improving and we would like to see her try level 3 and she is very excited to come back this year.Thank you 🙂

My daughter had a wonderful birthday party here. Experience with the staff was good. Daughter and her friends seemed to really enjoy the time with the coach and playing in the in the foam pit, the climbing structure, and gym. Overall great time and would recommend having a birthday party here if your child is into gymnastics.
