Staff are friendly, coaches are good with kids,…read morefacilities are clean, validated parking available, and it's nice for gym to monitor child on bleachers while not interfering with coaching. Only drawback...long waitlist sometimes up to a year. Gym offers camps which we tried and it's a fun day long option to help your kid work off that crazy energy. Kids love the freedom to learn to twist their bodies in acrobatic movements. The ability to fly through the air is pretty magical for a kid. Time spent to help them build confidence, coordination and flexibility is a plus in child development!

My daughter loves all-star cheer at Island Elite! I cheered in high school and college, so…read morebasically I get to live my best life watching my 8-year old enjoy my favorite sport of all time! We're currently in our second year of cheer and she almost has her back handspring and is learning to be a flyer on their junior team. I love picking her up from cheerleading and hearing her excitedly tell us all about her practice time. Pros: -Top level, quality instruction. I WISH I could have gone to this cheer gym when I was in high school. They're really stringent about technique and won't allow you to progress onto a new skill until you have foundational skills in place. Tumbling this year has been split by skill level so there's more time to practice and improve. Coaches expect a lot out of the teams but I believe they're always fair and I'm really happy they're not easy during practice. -The teams are awesome and they really improve exponentially from the start to the end of the season. Last year our daughter wasn't on a travel team and I'm really looking forward to seeing her compete at a national competition. It's not only improved her physical skills as an athlete, but it's given her a different level of confidence that can only be gained through hard work and tenacity. -Island Elite is located in town. There are other all-star gyms but I don't want to have to fight through traffic to get there. Cons: -Cheer is not a cheap sport like soccer, and monthly tuition for all-star cheer is $200+ a month for three practices a week, plus $30-$60 for tumbling classes. I still totally think it's worth it because you're committing to being the best! In addition to your monthly practice tuition you'll also spend $1000+ on cheer uniforms, choreography and approximately $100-$200 on each competition your team competes in. Currently the all-star teams compete in two local competitions and 1-2 mainland competitions in the Spring. If traveling for cheer is not something you want to do, they also have cheer teams which practice once a week and only do local competitions. I think this is a good alternative if you're unsure of the time and financial commitment. The gym also offer opportunities to fundraise throughout the year. -During our first year of cheer I didn't always feel as though communication was the best, but now that we're on our second year I feel as though we are a lot better equipped in terms of what to expect and what questions to ask. -Island Elite is located in a warehouse that shares the same parking lot as Costco Iwilei. Unfortunately the practice gym is not air conditioned so it gets really hot especially during the Summer months.

The only down side to the facility is the parking. Come early or find street parking.

I see progression between age groups which is impressive. Teams from the academy win awards. My granddaughter seems to enjoy the program and is making progress. Fees are reasonable for the weekly one hour class. The gym is located in an industrial complex on the west side of Honolulu. Parking is a chore and walking into the complex is downright dangerous with toddlers and cars flying. The entrance needs to have a car-free zone to improve safety. Seating for parents is manageable but uncomfortable. Restrooms are clean.

Nothing really changed except for the price of the hour (in my days used to be $6/hr. Today it's $10/hour & $5/half hr). They give you different wristbands which represents the time you paid for and planned to stay here for. Open gym happens every 1st Friday of the each month. Used to be open gym every Friday every week. When coming here, there are cubbies to place your items. Bring less and leave everything else at home. There's a sitting area for those who aren't jumping or tumbling too. Very minimal parking but a whole lot of street parking near Texaco gas/car wash. One thing that I'd highly recommend is just the sanitization or upkeep of the equipment. They don't have any wipes or sprays to provide and I'm not sure if they clean them at the end of the night. -./")\.-

This gym may be small but the quality of coaching makes up for it and then some. I had been…read moresearching for adult private lessons for a while and had almost given up when I came across this one. Coach Cynthia was extremely speedy with her response and I was eager to start. I have always wanted to be able to do backhandsprings but I am terrified of going backwards. I've tried multiple times with others but have never been able to do the skill. Over a two month span of having a lesson a week, Coach Cynthia broke every single part down and made sure I was ready before trying to put everything together. There were alot of things I was doing that were preventing me from getting the skill when previously trying. Coach Cynthia was very thorough in explaining every part which made me feel safe and less scared to go backwards. Coach Cynthia is a great teacher who is positive and supportive. I left the gym after each lesson knowing something new and feeling acomplished. This is also a family run gym which I love! I have always found that family run businesses are more welcoming and give you a sense of home. I know I will return for more lessons throughout the years. If you are looking for lessons for you or your children I highly recomend looking into this gym! Maholo Manakoa Gym and Coach Cynthia for helping me overcome my fears!

Mm. There are basically no places on Oahu that provide adult gymnastics and if there are, let me…read moreknow!! I stayed at work one day rather than go back to my home office in order to be closeby and attend the adult gymnastics class. Athough the facility was nice, it's really tiny. The size of a single company warehouse. They sure do get creative with the space - in that there was a private lesson happening and the kid was tumbling through our class space as well. This would be an amazing aerial studio (high ceilings) but it's pretty cramped, although I have to say they do their best to utilize the space efficiently. This review is for adult gymnastics only. In short: it's the kids class, with adults participating. Not very satisfying. And my warmup was led by like a six year old. As an adult participant, I was not impressed, but don't keep this from bringing your children.

We appreciate her fun and positive teaching approach. She catches what can be improved quickly and gives magical tips and tricks to make my daughter's performance better. My daughter has done gymnastics competitively and Ms. Lubi was able to brush up her skills as well. Moreover, when trying new skills, she challenges my daughter to try them but in a gentle way. She always checks in with my daughter if she is willing to try on her own. If my daughter doesn't feel comfortable, then she waits and continues to encourage her. She is so sweet and approachable. I can reach out to her, no problem. She replies back to me quickly. Although her place may be a bit cozy to work on the full gymnastic spectrum, it is perfect to improve my daughter's skills. Her gym is equipped with all kinds of equipment such as jump ropes, yoga mats and yoga blocks, air mattress, beam, a small bar and so on. We had a total of 8 private sessions with Ms. Lubi. My daughter was able to improve her skills and became more confident. We will miss her very much.

It was hard to find an activity that would take my daughter at 3 years old when she started. She knew nothing about gymnastics and she never really associated with other children besides family. Been with this gym for about a year and I can't tell you how much my daughter has grown. We tried out the afternoon classes on a weekday but noticed that it was interfering with my daughters nap time and had to make a switch. The coaches and staff were very accommodating and they helped my daughter even on days that she just cried during practice. I wanted to so badly just pull her out and go home, but the coaches made sure that she knew she had to practice and was so patient and just sat with her throughout practice. My daughter is starting kindergarten in August so we decided take her out. We were sad, but we know that another child gets to take her spot and is going to learn so much and make a lot of friends like our daughter did! Best decision was made when she joined Island Tumblers!

Though we liked coming here at first, things deteriorated quickly…read more From instructors being stoned while teaching/coaching to an inability to communicate with parents except via email and not in person or on the phone to ridiculous make up and refund policies that encourage parents to bring sick keiki to camp and weekly classes. Likewise, I tried cancelling multiple times as they had a 30-day cancel policy only to be told I hadn't cancelled. Now I realize that its because so many parents before me have been unhappy hence their need to make so many one-sided policies. If they provided a good service they wouldn't need to entrap you or your kids, because they would have enough new students looking to enroll. As they said themselves "If you're unhappy with our policies, there's several other gyms on island you could check out to see if their policies better align with your needs." Better to go elsewhere. Parents beware. -- Response to their response: 5 missed classes and trying to placate me by offering me classes I don't want because of said coach, when I all I asked for was one parents night out in exchange. Your staff all clearly know who is stoned; all the keiki even know. Finally, holding a space for 3-5 months try more like 3-5 weeks. Again, this could have been a better dialogue in person or over the phone, but instead it was via email and now they are dishing over yelp. Like I said before better go elsewhere, parents beware.

My toddler attended the 2.5-year-old (youngest) class for about seven sessions. By the fourth…read moreclass, she was already telling me she was bored and wanted to go home. Each session begins with a short two-minute warm-up song--usually "Freeze Dance" from YouTube--after which the class shifts to free play with parent supervision. The setup includes a platform to jump into a foam pit, a long trampoline, large foam blocks to climb and slide on, and occasionally a child-height balance beam or bar. There's also plenty of open mat space for rolling, running, and general movement. The coach mostly walks around saying hello to parents, but unfortunately doesn't interact much with the kids. I understand that it's a tough age--two-year-olds don't follow directions well--so I get that the class leans heavily on open play. Still, it feels like something's missing. The right coach with the right energy can really engage kids at this age, but I felt like I had to be that energy just to keep my daughter even slightly interested. This is a good short-term class--maybe for a month--if you just need something for your kiddo to do. But in my experience, most kids in our class started losing interest by the 20-minute mark. I've heard the 3-year-old class is more structured, so I may give that a try instead. They do offer one free trial class, so definitely take advantage of that!
