Great place for kids to practice gymnastics. The owner is very friendly and helpful. They've gone through different t ownership recently and the gym is in good hands. My two young daughters love their coaches and always have fun in class. The coaches are kind and very patient. They don't currently have a team but they're sort of rebuilding that aspect of the gym. Overall it's a wonderful place for kids to gain strength, confidence, and to make friends. We're so happy to have enrolled our kids. read more

This gym used to be home for so many. Unfortunately things change and I Will never send my daughter back to this gym, to be continuously fed lies. read more

Think twice about sending your kids here. The owner let the coaches that put their heart and soul into their work go, fired them because he was fearful they would expose the truth. He hires girls and young kids with minimal to none experience so that he is not threatened about how poorly he is running the place. He cares nothing about safety as most of these new hires have not been finger printed. Remember these are strangers with close contact of your children. With 5 good coaches gone there will be a lot of new coaches. Ask for their qualifications if they have been finger printed and cpr certified. Also before you pay extra for TEAM or any advancement make sure you do the research because as of right now there is no team I would not rec one t this gym to anyone and Collette would be ashamed to see how Shane is running it into the ground read more

I am so happy we found Gennisis gymnastics! My son and daughter have been taking classes for a little over a year and they love it!! The teachers are so friendly and patient. I am amazed at the growth in such a short period of time 10/10 experience. read more

See all

As a father with three daughters, we have been in numerous classes at Genesis over the past 15 years. Genesis is a wonderful environment to teach fundamentals and mechanics for all skill levels. From the competition teams to the recreation or mommy and me classes your child will learn to excel. Decades of assisting the students of the Antelope Valley. read more

I went to take my daughter the other for try outs and Shane hogan the owner was going off on his employees yelling and getting in their faces it seemed very unprofessional and scared my daughter I do not recommend spending time and money at this gym read more

My kids have been going here for years! I love the atmosphere and the training my girls have received. Aubrey is an outstanding coach and personal trainer! I highly recommend her read more

Love the energy and togetherness If you have a toddler, this is definitely the place for you! Don't waste your time at the other gyms. read more

Took a child in to check this place out. I had the fortunate luck of hearing a coach yelling at the kids & she yelled at them for no reason. Found out her name is Miss Brittany, shameful to treat kids that way aka abuse! I turned around and left, this place is $hitty & very hot! No one is at the desk! WTH?!? Do not bring your kids here! Go to AV Twisters, nice people and very attentive to the kids! read more

Absolutely love the changes!!! My daughter's coaches are amazing. Her confidence has grown thanks to these lovely ladies! Thank you for the patience and hard work. We definitely recommend Gennisis gymnastics to our friends and family read more

My child was bullied and instead of the owner fixing the situation she put my child in a lower class ! She allows bullying and only care about numbers! My child was enrolled in two classes and she swore we only paid for one , she even made me come to the office for her to look on the computer and sure enough we were enrolled in two classes ! The owner thinks she know everything but she doesn't ! And they don't do any type of evaluations where the parents will find out read more

I would not even classify this as a gymnastics gym. They are incredibly unprofessional for example calling young girls "fat and ugly". As a previous gymnast my self this is not the environment that i would want to train in nor want my kids to train at. All of the coaches are not professional and have no experience coaching gymnastics. They also have no idea how to share equipment or set up equipment at all i would honestly call it a safety hazard. Half of the equipment was not even screwed into the ground. read more

Someone is deleting reviews AND whoever is responding is either new or not being honest. Bullying is very serious at this place ! If you look at the reviews and how this organization responds to the comments you will see the truth about them! My daughter was bullied when I brought it up to the older blonde lady who walks with a limp( i think shes the manager ) she never investigated it instead she put my daughter in another class that was lower in skill than the other class ( i know because we had just moved up from this class, but after the bullying we were back! ) ! why should the bullied child get to go to another class but the bullies stay put ? The lady at the desk refused to discipline the other girls and wouldnt even talk to their parents! I was told told that my daughter is the issue my daughter was 5 and in Kindergarten, and shy and just wanted to make friends, the other girls talk about her because she wore under wear under her leotard, made fun of the outfit she was wearing and when I brought it up to the owner she dismissed it . The final straw was when the same lady at the front desk insisted my child wasn't in two classes a week despite us being in those classes for 2 months , she would hunt me down at my car while I'm doing homework and questioned me on why I'm bringing her twice a week until she finally looked into the file and seen that we did in fact pay for two sessions a week which I think is about $120-140ish which anywhere else one class starts around $150 a month so clearly they know they aren't really teaching good skill levels , they're a gloried babysitter , and they have mold under the mats , you can literally smell it being that Lancaster has temperatures well into the 100's you can definitely smell the moisture and mold when it's hot ( There is NO working AC and last time I was there the One and only toilet available for the children to use was stopped up so we had to tell her when we wanted to use the restroom so that she can pour water in the bowl after us over all 0/10 do NOT recommend! We're down in Los Angeles now and with a real gymnastic school. read more

Our family loves Genesis. My son has been going for almost four years now and I didn't realize I never wrote a review a review for this place. My son has Coach Jake and Coach Sam. Sometimes he has Couch Kyle. All 3 treat my son very well and my son respects them very much. My daughter is in the kinder gym program which is great for a beginners class. The gym owner Collette has a huge heart and we are lucky to have this great place to bring our kids. read more

We are lucky to have a place like Genesis here in the Antelope Valley. My daughter has been going here off and on for four years. The gym has an amazing program for the serious gymnasts who wish to compete, yet at the same time offers quality classes for children who wish to learn gymnastics recreationally. Rarely can you find a place that has the ability to cater to ALL levels like this. The "gym Moms" who are there all the times with their kids who compete, are super friendly and welcoming to all. I find the gym to be an "all are welcome" mentality. There is a regular evaluation process which keeps the kids excited, interested and focused on improving their skills. My daughter needed some extra help on a few skills and we were easily able to schedule some inexpensive privates with the coach of our choice! If you are interested in a good, clean, fair and reasonably priced place for a recreational or competitive gymnast, you are in luck with Genesis! read more

Genesis Gymnastics - Mini meet! - Gyms Near Me - Lancaster, California

im so suprised at the bad reviews i just moved to this city and put my son here he loves it hes 5 and beggs me to come more than once a week but i also have him in swimming . They are very hands on and patient with the kids it does get hot but i mean its in the valley and weather is always extreme . They do have ac or something running but it's so big and open and people are constantly in and out . Some parents can drop off kids and go and but there's a room you can stay and watch it's for one hour sessions and I think it's great for kids . read more

I brought my daughter in for a pre-school class, I paid money for a complete sh** show. The "coaches" seemed to be really interested in their phones. One coach seemed to have absolutely no interest in the kids. Not once did she smile, or engage with them, she turned her back on my daughter when she asked for help. They watched as a bunch of 4 year olds ran in circles and attempted front rolls & cartwheels by themselves. I understand it's a hard age, but at 50$ a month for 45 minutes one time a week.... I'd expect the kids to learn something. If not bring down your price if it's just a glorified babysitting session (: also, let me not forget to mention it's hot in there. And not JUST hot, uncomfortable hot. read more

So far, so good. My 7 year old daughter has been attending for three weeks and she loves it! When we went in to check it out, the lady in charge was super accommodating and let us know about classes and prices right away. She offered my daughter a try out in the level 2 class and it's worked out well. I did read the reviews before going and I read them to my daughter. After we left, she said the lady was nice mom and so was my coach as long as she's happy, I'm happy! The reason for 4 and not 5 stars, the seating. I'm not as young as I once was and those bleachers kill my behind and knees! Other than that, great job so far. read more

My kids (niece and nephew) have fun here and that's all that matters. I don't like that they have a snack table, but that's up to each parent to decide if they want their kids to have sweets or not. My 9 year old niece is level 1 but they work her out pretty hard and they're making her stronger having her pull her weight on bars already plus they make her do push-ups, sit-ups, run around and cartwheels. She always comes out sweating which I think is excellent. My 7 year old nephew is super skinny. However he has no upper body strength and boys gymnastics focuses heavily on this. I can see him get stronger and stronger every week. So far Im happy with results. Kids have no complexes because they're kids. Mine aren't great at it but they don't give up. So all in all I think Genesis gymnastics is a great place for my kids to work out and hopefully 10 years down the road become decent gymnasts. read more

Genesis Gymnastics is the best gym I have taken my son too! He started with their amazing tots program, it consisted of tumbling, basic bar movements, and many more fun things. My son loved it so much, he said he wanted to live at gym. The coaches are all kind and caring, Coach Robert connects with the kids always encouraging them and instructing them using positive techniques. Now my son has moved up a level, but he is still just as in love with gym. He is learning harder skills, but never leaves discouraged because the coaches are incredibly supportive and encouraging. Coach Daniel is amazing, and my son hopes to one day be on team with him. We love Genesis, the amazing coaches, the wonderful parent staff and the great owner! Thank you Genesis, we are so happy to have found you! read more

As parents we look to the best for our children, these people are a disappointment. I feel horrible that my granddaughter had to go through such horrible experience. Coach Brittany is so rude, and verbally abusive to the children. I only went there a couple of times to watch my granddaughter and was so disappointed. So sad that a coach can talk down to the children who are supposed to look up to her as a mentor and give kids encouragement. Not to mention they get paid very well. After bringing up the issue, the owner decided to dismiss my granddaughter from the program instead of fixing the issue, how unprofessional but what a favor she did us. My granddaughter then expressed how bad she felt when Coach Brittany would speak to her and how she made her feel like "she wasn't good enough". Gosh that hurt! No child should feel that way (and they got paid to make her feel horrible) I hear now it's night and day, coach Brittany is so much nicer, I guess it took sacrificing my granddaughter to make a change. Now the owner has her family and friends writing positive reviews to cover up the bad service they provide. Please speak your children do not let these people demeanor them like they've done to my little girl. Our Children deserve to be heard and respected. read more

My daughter had fun here. But, I wasn't crazy about this place. I never knew how my daughter was doing. Nobody would ever tell me, nobody would answer my questions as to when the kids advance, we were just going every day and she was doing the same thing, never heard a single word about her progress. Couldn't get ahold of anyone on the phone when I wanted to add my second daughter, then at the desk I was completely blown off by the owner. Both my girls go to Desert Christian Gymnastics now and it's so much more welcoming there. read more

My daughter started at the end of December and we love it. It's something new for us and she enjoys it. We have tried other sports and this is her favorite thus far, with REASONABLE prices. The family seating is a little snug. So far no problems. :) read more

Affordable, friendly, caring, quality, I can not say enough nice things about this gym, the owner, and coaches. My daughter recently finished a week long summer camp with them and all the coaches were so sweet & fun; it wasn't all just working on the equipment and gaining skills, they played fun games and got treats at the end of each day. The price was affordable and we are looking forward to enrolling her in next years camp. read more

We love this gym and highly recommend it! We had our girl's in a different gym before switching over and they learned nothing. Since being here one of our daughter's has already advanced to pre team after 9mos. The owner Collette is very involved and very hands on. She's always interacting with the kid's and her coahes making sure everything is on point. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. There prices are reasonable. Over all a good gym read more

The owner as nice as she can be has no regard for the parents that have allergies to cats...she apparently rescues them and keeps them in the office (same side where my daughter practices) so I am unable to watch my daughter due to this... Im Really allergic to cats and when I asked her what could be done she basically told me nothing and I can't watch my daughter practice if that be the case...wow!!! read more

Genesis Gymnastics is a fantastic gym and the staff is supportive and knowledgeable. My daughter is currently training for level 9. The owner is gracious and goes out of her way to ensure a safe environment. Kayla, Alanna and Daniel work with my daughter daily and are invested in her as a person. My grandson, who is 5, also attends weekly and loves it!! read more

I don't even know where to begin. My family has been quiet for so long for my daughters sake. She loved Pablo and Alondra and now they are no longer there, we aren't either and I can finally speak my mind without my daughter suffering the repercussions. The second you walk in the door you can smell the filth. The bathrooms are disgusting and never cleaned because there is no cleaning crew there. There is black mold throughout the gym under all the mats. There is coaches there that are verbally abusive and chatter horrible things about parents and kids yet they suffer no consequences because the owner only cares about the money! Now let's talk about the owner Colette.... she puts on this front like she cares but once you express ANY concern you may have then you are considered a problem parent. Now how sad is that we can't say that you're child is getting hurt or terrified of a coach because of the way they talk without your whole family suffering the consequences. Hopefully you have read through this all and have made the decision to seek a different gym to become a part of because at the end of the day it's not worth the horrible things that happen here. It's just not mentally or physically healthy!!! read more

I took my kids there, and they really liked it. But when I learned from the owner that she does not fingerprint her staff, I became concerned. I have chosen not to continue with Genisis Gymnastics for that reason. We also didn't like the candy right next to the door. My youngest kid would always throw a temper tantrum over it. It was so frustrating. Additionally it is extremely hot in the summer months as the air conditioning seems like it is not on. They keep the doors open and turn on fan. Parents sweat it out on the bleachers, and the kids are even hotter. I read reviews of the owner being impolite, but I found her to be helpful and sweet. She is, however, extremely busy. Perhaps she is curt at times because of that. read more

Great place for children to build skill and confidence. Colette is the best. I've never met a more kind soul. My daughter and now my nephew LOVE Genesis. read more

I've tried calling this place a dozen times over the past week- they never answer and the mailbox is full so you can leave a message I've also gone by the location 3 different times only to find it locked and closed with no posted hours or any information. Horrible service!!!! read more

This place smells, and needs to turn on the AC. It's like 90 degrees in there and is not safe for CHILDREN to be working out in. The coaches are very good with the kids, however the gym smells like an unclean locker room. read more

Helpful and kind. They also have a great system for team payments so you know where your money is going and do not have surprise payments due as with other gyms in the area. read more

While they may be terrible at answering the phone they are great at calling you back! My daughter really enjoys her lessons here and the staff is FANTASTIC!! I highly recommend this place. read more

I took my kids to Genesis Gymnastics and watched the transformation that Colette and her staff made in them. Although I love the trophies and competitions, the real magic here is the love for kids that manifests itself in better health and motivation that literally changes kids lives forever. I watched kids who never choose to exercise jump into the high energy warm ups and routines under the guidance of supportive instructors. It's a plus that Colette also sets the same example of compassion to animals as she does to kids. We are blessed to have such role models in our community. read more

This gym is owned by a community minded lady! Whenever asked, she donates to local fundraising. I am specifically involved with fundraising that impacts education in the local area and can attest to the fact that she donates consistently, regularly and generously. Thank you Genesis Gymnastics!! read more

What a horrible experience. The owner (COLETTE) is the MOST UNPLEASANT person I've encountered in a long time, and owning your own business you would think she would be a little nicer and NOT SO FAKE. The instruction is so inconsistent from one teacher to the next, it appears all they focus on, is competition which is truly NOT made for everyone. WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND GENESIS TO ANYONE!! ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE read more

Good trainers, huge facilities, good value. But strangely, they have have a big table in the waiting area piled high with junk food they promote to the kids (sigh). Guess it is the AV after all. read more

Absolutely love this place! I have 2 kids who have been doing gymnastics here for about 2 months. Both of my kids love it here. The instructors are AMAZING!! My little one can be a little on the difficult side, and the instructors are always so patient & wonderful with him! Even he, who doesn't like anything, gets excited for gymnastics! read more

Not only is this gym fun filled for my daughter, it also is a great way for her to learn the fundamentals of gymnastics and discipline .. I was a former gymnast for 10 years and to bring my daughter into the same sport is perfection . The coaches are great with my her and to all her fellow teammates. They know when my daughter is ready to move up and when she needs a little more practice before she can do so. My child has learned to not get discouraged about not being able to move up for the coaches are very supportive and being a former gymnast I know that more practice is better than being moved up too fast. It's a shame that some mothers don't understand the process of moving up and that these coaches know when their gymnast is ready, because who better to know than their own coach. I trust these coaches to teach my daughter the ins n outs of gymnastics and to keep it fun for her as well. The owner of the gym Colette is just the sweetest thing to begin with! She greets my daughter and gets her pumped for days practice as well as her teammates and I couldn't have met a sweeter gym owner and I have the up most respect for her because she shows the same respect for me and my daughter . I recommend this gym 100% great owner great coaches great environment. read more
