Coach Karen, Coach Nolan , coach Joe and Coach Roger are absolutely amazing and take the time building the strength of these little gymnast warriors. This is our first time on competitive team and I'm very impressed with their abilities to keep the kids engaged and focus. Thank you so much for all that you do! We love being apart of the MEGA family . read more

Love love love!! Can't say enough about owners and coaches! Great place to be for growth and development.

My three year old attends a Monday night gymnastics class, under 5 open gym on Thursdays, and a Ninja class on Saturdays. We have been coming to MEGA for four months and I have waited to write this review so I could offer a review not about my first impression, but my lasting impression. First, Sydney is a fixture at the front desk and the first face you will come into contact with. She is an absolute delight and has the answer to every question I have ever thrown at her. Besides being knowledgeable, Sydney is kind and always follows through on anything I ask of her (a Ninja shirt in a small not popular size, a waiting list for a different class, etc). MEGA and the parents are beyond lucky to have her. Our Monday night "tyke" class is with Coach Rich. Rich is fun, goofy, engaging, but also commands respect, attention, and has a strong focus on discipline. Not discipline in the negative sense, but discipline in teaching them the correct way to perform an exercise, take responsibility, work together, and listen. Rich is not afraid to redirect when they are acting up or are not focused. My free-spirited three year old needs the kind of guidance that Rich provides. She is learning so much more than gymnastics under Rich. He clearly enjoys his career and has a passion for his work - it shows proudly and radiates to his little gymnasts. The "under 5" open gym on Thursdays is awesome! It's a great opportunity for practice, play, challenging little minds/bodies, and explore without the fear of big kids trampling over the little ones. Thank you MEGA for having the under 5 open gym. It is the best! Thank you to the coaches who staff that open gym and make it a blast! Ninja class - this is the pride and joy of my three year old girl. She adores Coach Johnny more than she adores his hair (and she really likes his hair). Johnny has the most pleasant demeanor, patient attitude, and free spirit. Ninja class is basically parkour or American Ninja Warrior for kids. She loves the running, jumping, flipping, and freedom of movement that this class provides. Johnny also clearly loves his work and it shows through his positive attitude. My child's main goal at three years old is to have fun. My main goal for her at three is for her to learn respect, patience, discipline, and critical thinking all masqueraded as fun. The MEGA team do exactly that and I am beyond impressed with our experience. read more

My daughter was so nervous and shy her first class. Her confidence has grown immensely with the help of the instructors. She loves class now. read more

If your child shows more promise with gymnastics than can be fulfilled at your local park district, this is the place for you. It's an Olympic-quality training facility for young men and women of all ages. Both my daughters go here and I could not be more pleased. The teachers are energetic and inspiring, the equipment is all top notch. I only wish there was a more comfortable area for parents to hang out during the classes. read more

So I was looking fo a gym in the area and I was warned by many people to avoid this gym. They had all told me that they took their kids their and not only did they not like it, but they could not get their kids to go back either. Man I wish I would of listened! Many tears were shed just having to go. It's sad when your kid hates going to a place where she should be having fun and learning. I only have it 2 stars because the facility it very nice and impressive when you walk In. Wish I could say the same for the rest of it. Very unfriendly feeling the minute you walk in. read more

Smells horrible. Coaches don't care. If you love your child take them somewhere that will care more about them than the $$ First impression- on front door they are asking for dues. Second impression- open door and smells worse than my gym locker. Third impression- place looks like it smells. Fourth impression- staff looks like they don't want to be there. It's overcrowded and ran like a puppy mill. Stay away. read more

I am so impressed with this gym!! It came highly recommended to me from a friend who sends her daughter here for gymnastics class. We met there for a playdate in their open gym session they have on Sunday evenings (they also have one on Friday night). The place is huge, well-organized, and well-staffed. My friend even told me that they have even MORE staff on Friday nights because it's even more busy! Who would have thought! There are lots of tables for the parents to sit that overlook the arena for supervising purposes. Their classes are well-priced and their equipment is top notch! I am looking forward to signing my daughter up for classes here. They are definitely a cut above the rest! read more

MEGA is a great facility for beginning gymnasts. The coaches are friendly and helpful. Their equipment is good quality but their lessons could use a little work as far as spacing out ages. It is hard to give older kids the attention and difficulty they need when they are placed with smaller children. Overall this is a good place for gymnastics. I would also recommend looking at GYmkhana Gymnastics in Hanover Park as their difficulty level is higher and better for experienced gymnasts. Their coaches are a little more harsh but supportive none the less. read more

Went here for a birthday party some months ago. It was the first time my daughter was exposed to gymnastics in such a large forum. She enjoyed herself immensely and considered signing her up for classes. I still may since she is little and we would be doing this strictly for fun not for competitions. Some of the reviews on other sites speak negatively of the level of skill in competitions. So, if that is your intent, then maybe do additional research. But, for basics it seemed better than average. However...my issue was that the entire joint smelled like feet! I get that it is a gymnastics facility. But, they could use some sort of air neutralization or filtration seriously. I could not take being in there for the entire party. The party room/break room was relatively small. Not really meant for 20 kids and a handful of parents. It was crowded in there. But, the kids seemed to enjoy it. read more
