Girl on the right with grey sweater was chatting for good 10 min while every other coach is teaching some skills. Today was waste of my child lesson time and money. Very disappointed. read more

Ive been a gymnast at this place for most of my life and the coaches are incredible i would highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to do gymnastics read more

This gym might be great for kids but not for adults. I am a very active 50-year-old woman and my daughter is a very active 18 year old. We called to inquire about taking one of their adult gymnastics classes, we shared that it's been years since we've done any gymnastics and we were looking for a basic introduction course. We were recommended to take a Saturday afternoon class. We showed up, the teacher never asked our names or greeted us by name. She barely offered any instruction the entire 2 hours, basically stood around, sometimes practiced her own stuff, and said that it was an open class. We stood there with no idea what to do while we watched some people also be confused and others take off who knew what they were doing. When we tried to ask for help or instruction we were ignored and when asked again told what we could or couldn't do and offered very little assistance. This was such a disappointing and frustrating re-introduction to gymnastics. They need to change the class description on the website and / or change the teacher. We shared our disappointment and concerns with the woman who originally signed us up. She refuses to give us a refund or let us try a different class for free. It would have been quite simple and caring to let us try a different class with a different teacher, I'm not sure why they would not offer that. Overall: Negative experience. Very poor customer service. They clearly never cared about us enjoying ourselves or whether we were a happy customer. So had to share here to caution others. read more

Incredible gym. Very great energy and amazing staff. Angela and Sarah do a phenomenal job with the children. I feel safe knowing that my child is under their supervision and I know that they'll have a great time ! Couldn't recommend more. 10/10 read more

SD United is great! The gym is clean, spacious. They open up the back roll-up doors so that fresh air enters. My daughter and friend have been coming here for a couple months and each time get there work out. They rave above Coach Pilar and she is awesome- just unfortunate when you get a sub as they lose a bit of the chemistry. Stephanie at the front desk is super helpful with questions and scheduling. She's always friendly and smiling which adds a brightness to your day. This place also has some serious gymnasts training but I can only speak to the recreational classes at the moment. Definitely a nice spot to get gymnastics in! There are also Parkour classes available. Parking isn't great here but there are definitely spots. It's right across from Walmart and Asian markets which is a huge plus if you want to step away and run some errands! read more

Another business that's ran by children (or so it sounds.) The entire process to do a drop in class is an absolute nightmare. Their website specifically says for adult beginner classes (Monday Wednesday 8-10 which isn't even ON Monday/Wed for beginners,) to CALL THEM. My friend and I who lives all the way in Escondido wanted to go to the class tonight. We both called ALL DAY off and on (which is super frustrating,) and no one answered. I finally get a hold of them 7 -8 phone calls, one voicemail and an email later and this valley girl from hell who talks over you says "you can register online." Then why the **** does the website say CALL TO Pre register?! What a waste of time... Fix your website, answer your phone and hire someone with better customer service. Over it, we decided to just do yoga instead. Too much hassle. read more

SD United - So basically don't call because no one answers and you can do everything online. Also beginner classes are NOT Monday Wednesday. - Amateur Sports Teams Near Me - San Diego, California

My DTR has been going here for over a year now & she has loved it! She started in level 1 and all the coaches were very encouraging and got her to level 3! We go 3 times a week, 2 classes and a private session. My dtr loves all her current coaches & it's truly helping her progress to one day be on the team. Summer camps have been great also, we have spent the last two summers coming here. Overall great gymnastics gym!! read more

The new facility is awesome, and the coaches and staff are enthusiastic and great with kids.

This review is for their cancellation policy. They make you sign up for a monthly membership. I canceled in April. They charged me through May. I missed the cancellation cutoff by one business day and they had zero flexibility in refunding me. I get it. I signed a membership form that I barely read. I hope their firm cancellation policy is worth my 1 star review. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE They have very nice coaches and actually help unlike my old place honestly it's too good I have nothing else to say read more

Love love SD United! Our son has been in the Glow Worms class now for 7 months and we couldn't be happier. Staff at the front desk are always cheerful, our instructor is incredible with the toddlers, and the open mats they offer are perfect on holidays! Highly recommend SD United for any kids gymnastics needs. read more

My daughter has been coming to this place for a year and it was good at first. It went downhill with high staff turnover and moved to the new gym. My daughter had probably about 5 different coaches. They never communicated when we get a new coach, I gave up after 2. They barely communicated when they announced the move and didn't credit us or have makeup classes for closing a whole week. Staff seem rude and uncaring. My daughter made progress within the first 3 months, but after that seems very redundant and they didn't teach her much. Management is never around or care to reach out after I told the front desk of my unhappiness. I scheduled an evaluation to see and of course they didn't tell me the time and I assumed that it was during her normal class which is how it has always been. I then asked at the end of class to see her evaluation and the front desk lady said it was at 3pm and it has always been that way (that's a load od crap) we did evaluation during classes before. She just gave me a look that well that's that and didn't care. It was so upsetting and disappointing since my daughter has been practicing at home and was ready for her evaluation to see if she can move up a level. Don't come here if you want good communication, respect, and progress! read more

If you are reading Victory for reviews you will want to move o the San Diego United Gymnasts since that is the current name. Now with that let's review! SDU just like VGA are geared towards gymnastics and currently they have only females in their gymnastics program. That being mentioned. That do have something for boys!! They beginning tumbling for boys is called Spider Boys (SB) and there is a Parkour class!! Our sone progressed through SB. He thoroughly enjoyed Parkour. SB has had several coaches but the current two have been consistent for the last few months! They are making a difference with the standardization of their learning the fundamentals and getting them on a program. There was a lot of restarts with each new coach. Glad they are there to help! As for Parkour I can't say enough at how great coach Nicolas is with the boys! I have see our sons dexterity and hand-eye coordination improve along with his confidence in his abilities to brachiate. Oh and they boys are all so positive and helpful to each other! They work on moves and have lots of fun! What more can you ask for? Bring the kids!! read more

I am very disappointed by SD United Training Center. I am 18 years old and am very active, I run and rock climb and hike. I did gymnastics as a kid but haven't done it since, but want to get back into it. I did a quick Google search and immediately found SD United, and was super excited. I sent them an email explaining that I'm a beginner, and they directed me to try an adult gymnastics class. This is what the description for the class says: "Whether you were elite gymnast once upon a time, or never done a cartwheel in your life, come try your first adult gymnastics class.  All skill levels are welcome!" I didn't fully understand that the class was unstructured (which would've been helpful to be told when I had originally emailed) and that would've been one thing, but additionally our instructor offered very little help proactively or even when we are asked for it. The instructor spend most the time unengaged from the class or when engaged, helping more advanced students. The instructor did not seem like they wanted to be there, and was very un-personable, she never even asked my name. I was left to ask my classmates to help me practice what I wanted to learn, and fortunately they were very kind and offered help. Since I did not feel welcomed, and did not feel supported at all as a beginner, I emailed and explained my experience and requested a refund for my lost time. The response I received was that they were sorry I had a negative experience, they don't do refunds, and they suggest I try another class. After all this I am super disappointed in San Diego united training center. Not only did I have a negative experience but they also dismissed me after, and even though they don't do refunds, they did not offer another class for free to make up for my experience. This showed me that they did not have any interest in making it up to me. The experience might be much better if you're a kid but wanted to share so nobody else who's an adult beginner wastes their time and money. read more

Not GOOD !! I took my child to a tryout class with Sara as the instructor.A girl was messing with her the instructor did not even attempt to bring my child to me she just send her out crying it broke my heart as she was excited to go and walked out so upset ! Mind you this place has you sitting far away from the actual gym where they practice so I was unable to see anything. Not going back to this location. read more

My son (5 yrs) was in their spider boys class with coach Kevin over the summer which he LOVED. It was an hour full of jumping, climbing, tumbling... all the things he loved and he was *actually* tired after. We had to pull him out for a few months due to soccer and rejoined in January. Its a different coach now and we were super disappointed this time around. We made it through 1.5 classes when I went to talk to the front desk to withdraw him from the program. It was mainly 3 year olds now (age min used to be 4) and they spent: -- 30% of the time warming up with the coach wandering around/no where in sight -- 30% of the time sitting against the wall -- 20% getting water which they located completely across the gym past all the parents (distracting and inefficient) -- 20% actually doing activities which were unfortunately suited for 2-3 yr olds I'm disappointed by not only the quality of the class now, but also because they knew my son was 5 and let me enroll him a class of 3 yr olds. read more

This place is great...Whether you bring your child for exercise or to build skills, they will have a good time and come back to you out of breath and sweating with a smile on their face...The coaches are very knowledgeable and give each student their all...They have plenty of blocks and stations to accommodate the many classes... The "Freestyle Gymnastics" class is a twist on traditional gymnastics that takes elements from Tumbling- Parkour - Martial arts - as well as break dancing to teach students how to climb-up jump-over and freestyle with the equipment. THE ONLY negatives is they do not except students over 18...and the parent viewing area is shoved in a corner where you can only see half of the gym clearly, unless you stand against the wall by the bathrooms read more

The adult "class" is an open gym. If you need spotting or actual instruction, this isn't the place. There is no difference between beginner and advanced classes really and there's a mix of skills in both. First class with Teddy (I believe that's his name) was great. Second class was ran by one girl who couldn't spot anyone and just talked to her friends. People were leaving early it was so bad. I don't have time to waste driving there at 8pm on a weekday if there's no consistency. read more

We had planned a parkour birthday party here and the kids loved it! The staff has excellent customer service and was super accommodating. The facility is newer and is set up for gymnastics and parkour. The staff that coached the kids during the birthday party were obviously very talented and were really great with the kids. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

SD United - Parkour! - Amateur Sports Teams Near Me - San Diego, California

Before I begin with the actual review, I want you all to know that I tried to reach out to the owner, and reason with her. I have been debating on whether or not I should write a review, but after a few days of waiting for a response from the owner, I think it's fair to say, that she just doesn't care. So for all the parents that are actually looking for a profesional gymnastic academy, this place is NOT it. To sum it up for all of you, everything those one-starred people wrote, is true. and more.... Months ago I purchased a six month package for two of my kids, for twice a week. You can imagine how much money that is. Before I purchased it, I made sure there were exceptions to the "one make-up rule". What if my kids are sick? What if we want to travel? Having only one make up a month just doesn't make sense. Well, the person I spoke to, told me not to worry about it. That it is enforced, but of course, exceptions are always made according to the circumstances. Fine, I handed over a check for over a thousand dollars..... Well Christmas break comes along, and they close for a week and a half. My kids are enrolled in classes twice a week, you do the math. I come back from break the sweet receptionist with the red hair, helped me organize classes. No problem there. However, Martin Luther King Day comes along, and I didn't remember whether or not they would be open... I had scheduled a makeup class on that day but figured that the receptionist might of made a mistake. (VGA has made many mistakes before... so it wouldn't be a first.) So I call 5 times, throughout the afternoon, no one answers. What would you assume? That it's closed right? Apparently it was not closed, so I missed a class, plus a makeup class that was scheduled. So I call up to schedule a makeup for the day I did miss, and the make-up I missed. I figured they would be understanding due to the circumstances. NO! So I email the OWNER SHAWNA, she is completely unreasonable and tells me I am lucky to have gotten the three makeup classes. I told her that the three makeup classes are classes VGA owes me for closing during the holidays. And that Martin Luther King would be my first makeup. Also, I explained how I called 5 times, and received no answer. She was not willing to budge at all. I went as far as to show her my phone bill as proof that I did call and received no answer. You would think, that someone that has been willing to cash out thousand dollar checks to their academy would be a little bit more flexible.... I guess she didn't like the fact that I told her we were going through difficult times, and would take a break from VGA. We are no longer important, since we aren't customers. I waited days for her response, and nothing. She hasn't had the decency to respond to my very last email. I have a small balance in our account and was going to keep my son for one more month hoping that this awkward situation would be resolved. After receiving no response, I thought that maybe it be better if we part our own ways. Well, apparently they don't grant refunds and it has to go through the owner. The same owner that can't find the time to show me some respect. I can also go on about other incidents that have gone on at VGA, with my children. If anyone needs more information, feel free to message me. And to the owner, if you are planning on responding to this message: save it. You had your chance to speak to me when I was more than willing to reach a mutual agreement. We all know that if you are writing to me, it is not because I am upset, since you already knew that and did nothing about it. It is because all you care about is your business. read more

In my opinion this place is nothing but a bunch of girls gossiping place. Their teaching skills are OK but I think they can do a little better in caring for their students. As a parent waiting around for practice, I ran into an incident when one student got injured. The staffs were kind in helping the girl but when the receptionist was told to call the girl's mom to notify about her injury, receptionist continued talking about her life away until 5-10 minutes later she made the call but after hanging up she never once came over to the injured girl to tell her if her mom was coming to pick her up or not. Poor girl just sat there clueless. I mean this place is great but their gossipness shows that they're not professionals. Amber is great and helpful by the way, she gets things done. read more

My 4-Year Old has SO MUCH FUN every class! Shyann has a great rapport with the toddlers. I love how they incorporate play time with the basic fundamentals. I only wish they would open summer camp up to 4 years and up instead of 5 and up! She'd be there in a heartbeat! read more

Still love the gym after several years :) my daughter is in class now for 16 hours a week. I still feel that the cost is reasonable and the facility is amazing. There have been some changes in coaching staff, but they are all still very good. Larry in particular has been a favorite of mine for many years :) Thank you VGA!!! read more

My daughter has been going to VGA for over 3 years now. The coaches are supportive and I like that we can choose how competitive we want her to be. We decided 9 hours a week was excessive for a 7 year old, so we moved her to a different track and now she goes for 90 minutes a week plus an hour for their new trampoline class, which she loves! I have never had an issue with any of the coaches. They've all been very receptive and the environment itself is welcoming. When a individual learns a new skill she or he gets to ring a bell and show off the skill to the entire gym. When they mess up, there's always supportive hollering from other members and coaches until they get it. I think that speaks to the culture! read more

Love Victory! We moved from a gym in point Loma that had great coaches, but not enough training, my 6 year old loves this place, and has made so much more progress in such a short time. She loves it. read more

Natalie was able to work with my daughters schedule and get her in gymnastics so she could continue growing after the merger between their sister location in Mira Mesa. All the ladies at Victory have been welcoming and my daughter really likes the new pace of her gymnastics class. read more

VGA is awesome! Kids--come flip, play and have fun while improving your strength, flexibility and coordination! I LOVE GYMNASTICS! read more

We love it here!! we've been going to Victory off and on for years. The instructors are amazing, and the staff is friendly and helpful. I would recommend the gym to anyone who wanted to try it! read more

Our daughter loves the training ethic here. She's nine years old and on a pre-team with other young girls. They workout hard! She can't wait to get skilled enough to "move up." The families we have met are super nice, too. It's an investment so after a certain age it's probably best for kids who LOVE & want to be serious about gymnastics. Required class hours increase as they move up. read more

My daughter attended a summer camp. I assumed that they would learn the basics since she had never been in gymnastics. The skill level of the camp was far too advanced. On the second day she twisted her ankle. She let the instructor know, but the instructor assured her she was fine and had her jump on the trampoline. My daughter insisted her ankle was sore so they had her stop. When I picked her up no one mentioned the injury to me. We stopped going to the camp because her ankle hurt. After going to the Dr. she ended up with a cast. I wrote an email to let them know and received no response. I was very disappointed about her treatment during camp and especially the lack of awareness on the instructors parts and the lack of customer service. read more

My daughter and son have been coming here for almost three years. The new trampoline program is fantastic! My son LOVES it and the coaches. Unfortunately he can only participate between baseball/soccer season. It builds strength, coordination, and flexibility, great for between season training. The gymnastics program is for real. It's not fluffy, but it's at your own pace. Most importantly, the kids work hard, they are challenged, and neither of them have had an injury. Experienced coaches! The class schedule is also flexible, we have to change classes quite frequently or do make-ups and it's been easy. Thanks Victory! read more

I prepaid for my sons first month. It was about $200. He wanted to do a class with his female bestie and wasn't allowed, which we didn't fully understand because they are 5. Anyway, we pressed on and encouraged him to try the boys class for his age. It was all little ones that were younger than him and he wasn't interested. We then had him try another class and he didn't like that one either. Long story short he never attended a class for longer than 5 minutes. We asked for a refund since it wasn't going to work for us and they said No. We paid for something and got nothing in return. Horrible business model. As a business owner myself I would never take someone's money without giving them something in return. Ridiculous. The front desk girl was rude and the manager never even returned my call. Bad business. read more

This place is great for gymnastics. The instructors are very friendly and have great interpersonal skills. My daughter loves coming and has given her a new found confidence. It is a little pricey in my opinion $100 per month for going 1 hour once per week. So basically 4 hours for 100. Their gym is state of the art. I wish I could be closer inside the gym watching but instead you sit upstairs far away behind glass but it's understandable. They now have ballet and will be introducing karate which is a plus for me since I also have a son. I would definately reccomend this place and infact I got my friend to sign up her 2 daughters. :) read more

We tried this location for parkour lessons for my son. The classes were ok. They only use a small area for the parkour. Instruction is not very impressive. It's obviously a hard-core gymnastics gym. Apex is much better for parkour. read more

I haven't been in many such facilities, but I am very impressed with Victory's. If you are a parent of a frees spirited toddler looking to carefully marry structured lessons with playful exercises, I highly recommend this venture's Glow Worm program, and I most definitely recommend Dave. He is firm and understanding with new, um, rogues and keeps the class in a fun and balanced order. He is athletically creative with his courses, has plenty of profundities on child physical development & has many much appreciated activities that allow parents to participate & co-coach. Tuition is 70US a month; certainly fair when I consider the quality of the instruction. read more

By "All Levels" adult class they mean it's for people who can already do back flips. It's not at all a class. It's just a bunch of adults, who already know how to do everything, practicing. Don't call it a class when there's no instruction. read more

Love VGA. Coaches are great and the floor is HUGE. There are a lot of things going on at once so it's good to see all the age groups and levels practicing at the same times. The only downside is how hot it can get during the summer months, but that is not the fault of the gym just merely the AC can't keep up with the space! I do wish prices were a tad lower, but I truly feel this is the best gym you'll find in San Diego if you're looking for a serious and long term activity for your child. read more

This was a disappointing experience. We had used this place for summer camps and it was successful. However, when we signed our own daughter up the coaches were rude, disengaged, and didn't take the time to work with her. She is very novice and needed guidance. They did not follow through...we stayed through all our sessions but will never come back. Ashley was the rudest of all the coaches. I caught her talking about my daughter and rolling her eyes to her. If you don't want to work with 6 years pursue something else! read more

My daughter has been training at Victory Gymnastics for one year. The owners are so welcoming and go out of their way to help you out. The coaches all have impressive backgrounds and all really care about the girls. My daughter is on the team and we were able to go to a lot of meets including a fun weekend in Las Vegas. It's awesome to watch how much all of the gymnasts have improved at our time here at Victory. The new facility is state of the art, I haven't seen a nicer facility in San Diego. I recommend this gym for all ages and levels, your child will get the BEST gymnastics instruction here. read more

I love this place. My daughter has been taking classes since she was 3. All the instructors are great!
