From the beginning, Beatrix fell in love with Gymnastics Connection. She has been doing gymnastics since she was 3, but all she remembers now is the Gymnastics Connection. She loves the open gyms, the instruction (cried when we couldn't afford two lessons a week, so I applied for scholarships), and she loves the coaches. After the spring showcase last year, she said she wanted to be a gymnast when she grew up. If I have obligations before or after class, Beatrix is able to sit with them an extra few minutes with a snack until I wade through traffic to get there. Above and beyond, one of the best experiences we have had in Seattle. From front desk (Stephanie Kyla) to Coach Maddy, Coach Megs, Coach Monica... stellar experience. They never turned their noses up to us when the credit card didn't go through. They made us feel like Beatrix belonged there as much as the other kids who don't need scholarships or second, third, fourth credit cards. We love you. We thank you. I wish I could give you guys so much more, but right now, all I can say is you made a positive difference in our lives. Thank you!

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 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 lady who is "in charge" during drop in play has terrible attitude even towards my kids. I came here a few times and I can even say that she is racist, which is terrible and unacceptable.

As an LGBT family, we did have a bullying episode by a classsmate. We brought it up to his coach, Thaydon. Thaydon discreetly, immediately handled the situation with the family and the activity has ceased. We felt very supported and are very happy these things are taken seriously. Thaydon has shown to be very interactive and caring with all the students. Our kiddo routinely attends open gym and parents night out activities Saturday evenings. He loves his time at Pacific Reign and we love that we get a night out since we have no family here. Overall, very happy we found Pacific Reign highly recommended it for all.

***Update*** I…read morereceived a message from the business owner about our visit which made me change my review since they are a responsible business who cares about clients and esp. Kids.. A website which is not updated (its been almost 2 years since the beginning of Covid and they say the hours are pre-covid hours) and we came from Issaquah to here for free play time which was used to start at 12pm, we came here at 12:05 and they said the free play time is over at 12:30pm so we would only have 25 mins for $20. I wish at least they could offer me a free 25 mins of play saying "sorry about our mistake please come in for today and play"..

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.

We had our daughter enrolled in a late evening class (mini flips). I was absolutely unimpressed by…read morethe coach. 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.

I primarily remember taking part in gymnastics through Cascade Elite Gymnastics because of the…read moreCascade part of the name. When I came here growing up, Cascade was a frequently used word in my social sphere (name of a swim club some of my friends were interested in and my grandad volunteered on trails in the Cascade Mountains). In terms of my artistic gymnastic abilities, I was naturally flexible and high energy. I managed to surprise my family/friends that it did not translate to gymnastics ability. As part of a group, we went through and tried different apparatus to the best of our abilities, I was best at bars and worst at floor. I had/have a fear of falling and for some reason that flared up in my not being able to do a cartwheel (fear of falling flat on my face), however an interest in bars (where fear of falling was overcome by apparatus coolness). My time here was short lived in part because of my not quite taking to it, the workers/instructors were kind and understanding both in my taking part and withdrawing/not continuing.

The feedback from coaches was inconsistent, the coaches kept changing every week. Spring session, there was feedback posted on our online account, but during fall session time there was no feedback, the only communication you get is about strict registration process. Just feels like money pit not really about kids making progress. My daughter lost interest, she switched to different sport.
