My daughter is a competitive gymnast and it is hard to move to a new competitive program. She tried…read moreout multiple places but as soon as she had her evaluation at Flip Zone we knew it was the one. The environment is welcoming, the coaches are supportive and skilled. In our first few months at Flip Zone I have seen my daughter's confidence build and her skills develop in a whole new way. Flip Zone supports not only their strength and technique, but the mental aspect of gymnastics as well. There are several different schedule options and we love the homeschool training program. We drive a long way to get here, but it is worth it. I am excited to watch my daughter grow in this program!

(concerned grandparent)…read more We joined FlipZone Gymnastics because we believed we were investing in a structured, competitive program where our daughter could grow as an athlete. Like many families, we made a major commitment of time, money, and trust based on the information provided to us when we enrolled. Unfortunately, our experience has been extremely frustrating. We have experienced ongoing issues with communication, organization, and transparency. We were given certain expectations regarding team structure, timelines, and opportunities, but later experienced changes that did not align with what we originally understood when making our commitment. One major concern was the communication surrounding team placement and deadlines. We were informed that the cutoff date to join the competition team was May 10, 2026. After that date, additional athletes were still added to the team, which raised concerns about whether the same expectations and policies were being applied consistently to all families who had already committed. The team structure also changed after enrollment, including splitting athletes into different groups with changes to practice schedules and additional costs. Families commit financially and make significant sacrifices based on the information they are given at the time of enrollment, so changes like these should be communicated clearly and handled transparently. In addition, the gym often feels significantly overcrowded, which has impacted training. At times, our team has not had consistent access to the equipment needed during practices due to limited space and multiple groups sharing training areas. This has affected the quality and flow of training sessions and is something families should consider when evaluating the program. We have also been disappointed by how concerns have been handled. Parents should feel comfortable asking questions and advocating for their child while receiving clear communication and professional responses. Before committing to FlipZone, I strongly encourage families to ask detailed questions about: * How team decisions are made * How deadlines and policies are enforced * How changes to teams and schedules are communicated * What additional costs may arise after commitment * How gym space and equipment access are managed * How parent concerns are addressed We love gymnastics and want the best opportunities for our child, but families deserve transparency, organization, and consistency from a competitive program. This review reflects our personal experience and why we believe other parents should do their research and ask detailed questions before making a long-term commitment.

We attended the 2025 SGJA Judges' Cup. Hosted by EVO Gymnastics. I'm not sure if all competitions do this but for this particular meet, they charged an admission fee which they accepted payment with cash only. Admission Fee (CASH ONLY). Adults: $25.00: Children (4 - 12 yrs): $15.00. The venue was very spacious. It was a bit crowded when we arrived and we went upstairs to observe until my kid's competition start time. If you can snag a seat in the front row upstairs, then you're golden. Otherwise, it can be difficult to see over so many people up there. Just depends on where you're trying to view your child during competition. Once we started, we went downstairs to admit him and then stayed down there to watch. It was a better view down here. Our family stayed upstairs and were able to get front row seats once the first session ended. The kids competed on the floor level with different events such as: floor exercise, pommel horse, still rings, vault, parallel bars and horizontal bar. After the competition, they gave out the awards. It was a nice set up for the awards with the balloon arch for decoration and the winner's podiums. Fabulous venue with a nice set up. Our first gymnastics meet was very organized and executed flawlessly. Good times!

When they responded to us, they informed us that we would get no refund even though we were doing the right thing by not sending our son. I understand policies but this was an isolated incident and they had the opportunity to do the right thing. We are moving out of state so rescheduling does not work for us but it is the only offer they made. This is not right considering the situation and people should beware that Circus Arts clearly doesn't care about anything but money. This is beyond unfair.
