Think twice before you trial any competitive program here…read more Our daughter spent two years on team and almost quit the sport entirely. In her last season she experienced retaliation from a coach, emotionally immature leadership, and conduct that violated their own handbook. When concerns were raised by multiple families, ownership declined to meet and responded with: "We believe we can move forward from here and work towards a positive season." Our daughter was eight years old. She lost confidence. She lost skills. Schedules changed constantly. Classes were added mid-season at an extra cost because, in their own words, they had too many girls to teach new routines at once. The list goes on. If you do choose to trial, ask about attrition. We are aware of at least five or six girls leaving a team of fifteen this season alone. That speaks volumes. Competitive gymnastics demands clear communication and genuine investment in every child. You will not find that here.

I am so impressed with Northshore Gymnastics Center! I tried a bunch of gymnastics programs as a…read morekid, and when I signed my daughter up for her first season, I expected it to be about the same. I was blown away! The facility is beautifully updated with new equipment that is used well by the coaches to help teach the fundamentals and build a solid physical foundation. The gym is clean, inviting, and absolutely buzzing with activity. It's so fun watching all the different levels giving it their all and having a blast. We loved the coach, and watching from the observation area, I was really impressed with the caliber of instruction and serious, but genuinely kind manner. As a parent, this was a valuable opportunity for my child to try new, challenging things and also to grow in grit and confidence. We loved it! The only reason I knocked off a star is that they do mandatory rolling enrollment, basically an auto pay type situation. They allow you to opt out under certain conditions, and the staff are really nice, but it would be nice if they offered an option to do one session at a time for the beginning classes, especially.

The instructor did an amazing job rotating through activities around the gym -- trampoline, foam pit, dodge ball, tag, ending on the much anticipated ninja course. He struck a really good balance of keeping things fun, while also keeping the boys in check to not get too wild. The private party room was excellent as well. It's a really great balcony setup to observe for the parents that stayed to watch. The helpers in the party room did a great job of keeping the flow (setting up tables, bringing out cake, cleaning up, etc). I really recommend this place for a birthday party. It was a really well run and a great unique birthday event.

I was disappointed with our recent experience here during a bday party. While I understand that…read moregymnastics involves physical activity, I felt the instructors were not as careful as they should be, especially considering the young age of the participants. It was kindergarten party, so 5+ year olds. The level was not suitable for kindergarten children, who need extra guidance and a gentler introduction to gymnastics. Unfortunately, my child was injured during a session, which could have been avoided with better supervision and a more tailored approach for beginners. My kid was told to switch her legs while in air and then jump on ground. Safety should always be the top priority, especially for such young children. This being her first exposure to gymnastics, this was obviously too much for her and she fell and twisted her knee. They should be mindful that for such bday party events, only introductory lessons should be thought as for some kids this might be first exposure.

Then there was a change in management, which also brought new front desk staff. We have a young child who, before the management change, was allowed to sit on the edge of the mat about 15 feet away and would try to do the moves along with the class. With the old staff, we got an understanding smile and some pleasant conversation. Now? Condescending looks accompanied by comments like, "We'll have to charge you for another lesson if your child is on the floor." It's ATROCIOUS working with Advantage now. Here's what you can look forward to: 1) Frequent unanswered calls with no attempts to reply to voicemail 2) Billing issues (always in the gym's favor) 3) A lack of empathy/understanding/customer service 4) The greediest gym I've ever worked with Seriously, if the coaches weren't solid, we'd run away and never look back.

The registration can be difficult as well with obtaining your desired times. The do offer makeup sessions which is wonderful as gymnastics classes aren't cheap. They hardly have anyone picking up the phones so email/in-person may be your best bet and even then emails can take a day or two and there isn't always someone there at the front desk for in-person chats. There are some instructors that aren't gymnasts themselves. For the younger classes, they hire anyone that is interested in teaching but may not have any gymnastics experience at all.

They stood in a corner (read far with hands in pocket) and only gave oral instructions. I never saw them spotting, helping, or showing the kids on how things are done. I have never seen any sport being taught that way. We moved from another city where the coaches were hands-on and always guiding, showing, and teaching the movements. I am not sure if all coaches are the same but our experience with this particular coach wasn't pleasant at all and we did not see any improvement in our child.

They're so good at teaching skills to a group of energetic little kids while also giving them times to explore all the gym equipment - of which there's a lot! They have balance beams, bars, wedges and so much more. But the best part is that they rearrange them every week (at least) so it's like a completely new layout every time we go. My toddler is so excited to go every time - as am I b/c she literally can just play here forever. We've tried a lot of toddler classes and this one is a must. They also have two open gym sessions a week. If you don't want to do a class, your membership includes these open gym sessions! I've also never had a problem rescheduling classes which is amazing during flu season and for working moms like me.

We ultimately decided to stop because the class no longer felt consistently safe to us…read more The head coach appeared to show clear favoritism toward certain children, while other kids received far less supervision and assistance during activities. During hanging and obstacle exercises, there were moments when children needed help but no coach was nearby to assist or spot them safely. For a ninja-style program involving climbing, swinging, and elevated obstacles, consistent supervision and equal attention to all children should be a basic expectation. What was also disappointing was the lack of concern or follow-up when we chose to withdraw. No one asked why we were leaving or seemed interested in understanding our experience, which left us with the impression that parent feedback and individual student experiences were not being taken very seriously. For parents considering this program, I would recommend paying close attention not only to the facility itself, but also to how consistently all children are supervised, guided, and included during class.
