Seeing So Many People Say Bad Things I agree Especally With Special Needs Kids It's Bad May Even Be Worse Of course, this was around the 2010 Era But things could be better now after Youseffi's arrest We were searching for a program to help our son get the physical exercise he needed, and a friend referred us to GMS. Years ago, our autistic son worked with a former instructor, Cameron, for a gymnastics-themed one-hour workout, and he also participated in the Summer Minds In Motion Camp. Unfortunately, they don't know how to work with special needs children. Our son's session would start with five minutes on the trampoline to warm up, followed by floor exercises. If he got distracted or became uncooperative--which was common at the time--he was put in "timeout" on a dangerously high box for his size or forced to walk on the thin high beams without any training. If he jumped or fell off, they would just restart a five-minute timer and put him right back on. It felt unsafe and unhelpful I am surprised Our son never broke any bones and we never filed injury lawsuits it was this terrible. The summer camp was equally disorganized. The schedule was inconsistent, and we even witnessed instructors leaving computers logged into personal Amazon accounts within the children's reach. After seeing all of this, we pulled our son out and cannot endorse this academy for anything they offer. read more

Coach Karissa traumatized my kid to the point she didn't want to come back. She made my 8-year-old girl walk on the balance beam until her hands bleed. We told the owner and they did not even show any care our concern. Some people don't need to be around kids. Coach or not. I don't even think she has any credentials read more

Our daughter is absolutely LOVING the Ninja Parkour class! We meant to sign her up for gymnastics and inadvertently signed her up for this instead. What a happy accident! BJ is an amazing instructor and has given our daughter so much confidence! We couldn't get her into anything (gross motor related) prior to this class. We are so grateful! read more

My daughter had previously taken gymnastics at a gym in Chantilly, and we switched to GMS because it was slightly less expensive and had better availability at the time for our schedule. This is a perfect example of you get what you pay for. Upon immediately enrolling the receptionist was supposed to charge my debit card an enrollment fee of $120 and I got a extremely panicked voicemail about two hours after enrolling that she had charged my debit card $1200 by mistake. She refunded it pretty quickly, however there's always a delay when refunding money onto a card and I was very fortunate that we had the money sitting in our bank account. Then we switched class times about a month into our attendance and discovered only about two weeks ago that instead of transferring my class, they had simply booked my daughter into a second class and were charging us for both sessions the entire time. If the disorganization in the front office is not enough, the facility is pretty unclean, overflowing garbage cans, dirty floors, pretty much disgusting bathrooms. The classes are extremely large and it seems that the coaches are absent a lot causing random subs to fill in who do not know your child at all. My daughter enjoys the activity so we had decided to stick with it through the summer, however I was shocked and dismayed when I received a phone call from the owner of the facility letting me know that my daughter (who is four by the way) would longer be able to participate in the class she was in for 4 to 6-year-olds because she randomly observed her telling her coach she did not want to do a forward roll (because she's 4 and was nervous). The owner explained to me that not participating was "unsafe behavior" and that my daughter would need to switch to a younger class and then proceeded to dictate to me what time we would be able to come for said class. When I explained to her I was not available at that time due to my other child's activities, she simply told me then we would need to disenroll because a child who does not enjoy what they are doing is a hazard to everyone. I literally sat on the phone with my mouth open because we had been attending classes at this point for three months and I had never one time been told that my child was not listening or misbehaving. At our previous gymnastics gym, this had also never been a problem at all. I am also not the kind of parent who thinks their child is perfect when they are not, but there is a glass window and you can see the entire class while it is happening. On many occasions I've witnessed the coaches speaking to other students about some minor issue or what not, and I had never even seen my child spoken to in that fashion. At least twice since attending, my daughter's coach has come out of the gym into the parent waiting room to talk to other parents about their child's unsafe behavior and again, I had never been addressed in a negative fashion. I tried to explain this to the owner and frankly thought that perhaps she had my child mixed up with someone else. She just kept repeating that if a child does not enjoy the activity, it's unsafe for everyone. It's literally the craziest thing I've ever experienced. My four-year-old goes to preschool full-time, runs track, and participates in swim lessons twice a week and never before by anyone else have I been told she has a difficult time listening. So again, I know my child is far from perfect however the idea that she was essentially booted out of a second rate gymnastics class is shockingly ridiculous. I would say that this place from start to finish was basically a disaster for us and I would definitely not recommend it to anyone else. Save yourself some money if you aren't sure you're serious about it and take a rec class and if you think you are ready to forge ahead, go to one of the other local gyms. read more

Great boys team program. Great coaches and lots of equipment. There are a lot of boys compared to other gyms in the area, and they treat the boys well, though it is a girl dominated sport. read more

My daughter was at GMS for almost nine years. My daughter was on the competitive team and the owner was one of her coaches for many years. The owner is an incredible coach, and takes a vested interest in not only coaching gymnastics, but teaching valuable life skills along the way. GMS is a great gym, that produces incredible athletes. read more

We are new to the area and went into the gym and were treated with rudeness and disrespect by the owner. Absolutely recommend another gym for your kids. read more
