Very toxic environment. Coaches are unprofessional and pit the girls against each other. Minimal feedback to gymnasts, even when the gymnast asks for corrections. Coaches are tired, burnt out, sarcastic and not motivating. Often in their office while giving the gymnasts "assignments" and only focused on certain gymnasts. read more

Great facility and great staff. Darryl is passionate about his business and keeps it real. Coaches are great and always willing to help. My daughter had a great experience on competitive team and only left because of relocation. We love TRC! read more

My daughter is a competitive gymnast, and was at another competitive gym that changed coaches every other month. The people that own TRC are coaches, and they really care about their girls. My daughter has made so much progress. Thanks TRC read more

My daughter is a Level 7 gymnast at TRC South. She has been here for 8 months now and we are very happy with the coaching staff. They are inspiring, motivating, and full of positive energy. I really could not hope for better coaching staff. I feel confident that she is the right environment where she can grow her skills and be adequately challenged. The front office staff is professional, friendly and helpful. Their door is always open to answer questions. The parents and kids have all been very friendly and welcoming. We came from a gym where the recreational kids had priority over the equipment during the entire practice and occupied the majority of the space...along with Boys team. At TRC South the recreational kids finish 30 minutes after Girls team practice starts, allowing the team to have full access to the equipment for the remaining 3 1/2 hours of practice, which is wonderful!! The gym is always clean and the parents viewing area upstairs has free WiFi and a open view of the gym- there are no glass windows. The only area we can't see is the beam, but there are video monitors. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a quality team program for your daughter!! There was a parent who left negative comments from 2013. The gym has completely changed since that time, with new coaches and new management. As far as lack of handicap accessibility, I'm sure the coaches would allow someone in a wheelchair to view practice from downstairs. read more

My daughter has been going to TRC SOUTH for about a month now. We've had a pleasant experience thus far. Registration was super easy and Dawnette has been super sweet and has made us feel very welcome. The coaches are very hands on and make it really fun. They have a nice area for parents to watch and cameras and TV's so you can always see what's going on in the different sections of the gym. Oh and there's AC up there!!! Huge plus! They also have toys my 20 month old daughter can play with while we wait for big sis. Overall, this place is awesome and my daughter loves it! read more

TRC South Gymnastics - August 2015 - Gymnastics Near Me - San Diego, California

My daughter is a beginner and we could not feel more welcome during our first visit. Dawnette was so wonderful to us, knowing my daughter's name and walking her in to meet the teacher. This made all the difference in the word! We have been here about 2 months now and my daughter can not wait to go. There are some incredible gymnasts here and everyone has been great. Getting to watch the owner, Darryl, coach and work with the team is a treat -- they are incredible athletes. Special thank you to Coach Courtney. In a short time, my daughter has learned so much, including a kick over, front and back walk-overs and is working on her splits. This is a lot in just a few weeks. Courtney is the coolest and she is brilliant with the pre-teens. Friendly but firm, fun but dedicated to proper form. She encourages stretching and using the correct form to avoid injuries, which is awesome. My daughter connected with her right away and she appreciated being able to join a beginning class and still fit in. We were on a waiting list at both TRC locations and were glad to get a spot. (we love both - this location is just closer with less traffic at night) Kudos for offering us a free trial. My daughter is already looking to add more classes and we could not be more impressed with the welcoming feel and high level of instruction. Thank you! read more

Very disappointed. There is not much of a choice for gymnastics in Carmel valley having relocated here from Northern California I was hoping to find a similar gym as the one my daughter was in for almost 4 years. TRC does not compare at all:( First there is a long wait list. So we began with private lessons while waiting for her name to reach an open spot. The first private lesson we arrived to the coach did not show up. The next week I believe she was 10 minutes late another time she was even later--so the owner did not charge us. (Private lesson is $1 per min). During the summer we were on our way to her private lesson when the coach called me to tell me it was canceled due to the summer camp (we were at the exit in Solana beach when i got the call 5 mins before her lesson was to start.) During this time she began class lessons @ TRC South. In the beginning class was good, not too many girls and the coach, Marie was great. As time wore on the class got bigger and new, different coaches joined. Marie then began coaching a level 2. My daughter was in level 1. My daughter began to lose interest in gymnastics and said she didn't want to go any more. This made me sad because she is athletic and has always loved gymnastics. My 8 year old daughter did a trial class in the level 2 and in the end it was decided she would move up into the level 2 group (the coach, myself and my daughter made this decision). This made her excited and she had a renewed interest in gymnastics. But the next day I received a voice message informing me "the coaches had a little pow wow after and decided they wanted her back to level 1". I am shocked. Why tell her she's in level 2, allow her that excitement to then take it away and disappoint her? I don't know what the "skills" are that she's lacking for level 2 I watched the whole class and she looked like she fit in just fine. she is a high energy girl and thrives on structure. The newer coaches in level 1 are not strong leaders and they lack the skills to actually "coach" the girls. They supervise them as they do drills etc with them but I honestly haven't seen any growth in my daughter's gymnastic abilities since she began. Not only that but I realize she is no longer cartwheeling and hand standing her day away as she was always doing before. She's lost her passion for gymnastics: ( The TRC South gym has terrible viewing I can only see minimal amounts of her class. The viewing area has no wheelchair access (it's upstairs) and they had no a/c on nor do they offer free with fi. The doors to the viewing area are a hazard, they don't shut properly, they slam and it's extremely loud but more so an accident waiting to happen with all the little siblings and older grandparents entering and exiting thru them. There is one bathroom for use in the gym which can make for a very long wait for the girls, or anyone in need. They don't have uniforms for the girls in classes nor do they sell gym wear. I give it 2 stars because the price is decent $82 for 1 60 min class a week. If your daughter just wants to have fun it's fine for that. I just wouldn't have very high expectations for TRC South. As of now my daughter is turned off of gymnastics and sadly this is due to her experience at TRC. (I just paid for this month and now she thought she was a level 2 and she doesn't want to return to the level 1. So the level 2 "trial" class , which normally would be no charge, cost me $82. (The annual insurance fee is also reasonable). read more

Whether your child wants to compete or just wants to have some fun, I absolutely do not recommend this gym. During our time year, my daughter was subjected to coaching "techniques" that were borderline abusive. It took her years to recover. There's one decent coach - Pam. Other than that, I can honestly state that the rest of the staff should not be training young athletes in any capacity. read more

My two daughters train at TRC South and love being part of the competitive USAG program. There is a positive and supportive environment and coaches and staff are top notch! Coaches have tons of experience and do a great job at encouraging and developing each gymnast into becoming the best they can be! If gymnastics is your passion, TRC South is your gym! read more

My 2 daughters go to TRC south. They had a not so great experience with another gym prior to coming to TRC. This gym has totally changed their mind about gymnastics. They love it and want to continue. They have progressed so much. Their coaching staff is awesome, especially their coach Meagan. read more
