Go for It USA

Our daughter started in the toddler class, and was told she was good enough to move to dynamos (pre team class).. so we get the schedule and "try out" we then were told no she's not ready.. then there was a bunch of back and forth and finally accepted into dynamos... after a few weeks the coach that said she wasn't ready admitted she was wrong and that she was more than ready... then she moves up to compulsory classes and competed in level 2 at 5 years old.. throughout the year there was NO communication between coaches, owner, or management.. when we finally got a meeting with the owner and coaches all the blame was put on the kids and the parents and the gym had done nothing wrong... but they said they'd work on communication among other things... guess what no change.. so we decided to change gyms after the season was over. Well our daughter started telling her friends we were trying out at other gyms and the owner pulled us in a meeting.. she immediately said "I heard you're going to another gym, well if that's the case let me know and I'll refund your money (we prepaid for a full year in advance and had 2 or 3 months left of the contract) .. that told us everything we needed to know so we accepted and switched gyms.. now since we moved she has lost all but 4 gymnast that were on her level 2 team (of 15 girls)... stay as far away as possible and if you're looking at browns she owns that one too and it is also as bad with communication and poor coaching until you get into the level 6 and higher classes..

We brought my three-year-old in for a trial class. Obviously, with a group of three year olds, attention and structure is difficult. That being said, the coach was vocally frustrated and did not talk to the children in a calm way. She also had her older son in the class, which seem to be a distraction. I understand that childcare can be an issue, however, if I was paying for the class, I would’ve been frustrated. We did choose to go with another gym due to the coaching environment.

My daughter has gone from the beginning, the toddler class. After a while coach Megan said she could move to dinamos class, we tried(twice) both time coach Nicole beat around the bush saying she didn't want her in the class, she didn't want to teach her, she wasn't good enough...(she is five) but eventually she accepted her because she had no choice...some time goes by and she gets into level 2 compulsory...terrible coaching allowed because it's the owners daughter, which means you aren't allowed to have an opinion abour her yet alone anything..excuse for everything. The worst 1st year of our daughters compulsory experience..too many kids to coaches ratio, not enough care in general..please do not waste time or your money.... less than one star if I could

My daughter is in her fourth year of competitive gymnastics at GFI USA. From the staff like Lisa to the coaching staff like Coach Nichole and Coach Hayley, I feel confident, my child is in a caring, loving, safe environment that provides a nurturing, yet competitive atmosphere. The staff has always taken any concerns I have seriously to ensure she is heard and cared for. There is no doubt in my mind, my daughter is in the right gym because I have watched with my own eyes as she has transformed into the athlete she is today. I would recommend the EXCEL program at GFI USA to anyone!

The staff is so friendly and patient with the kids. I felt so welcomed and my kids love it here. The bigger kids are always willing to h the younger kids.
