We have a daughter with cognitive disabilities and Heather at Tricks does an amazing job working with her on her one on one for balance, core strength, and agility. Depth perception is an issue, but Heather works well with her to navigate a busy gym environment to give her confidence so she can push herself to achieve tasks both while at the gym, and more importantly, when she is outside of the gym in school and the community. If you have a son or daughter with disabilities who could benefit from 1:1 attention developing strength and agility then I would recommend trying out Tricks . read more

Let me start by prefacing, I love the gymnastics and dance classes for the littles at this tricks facility. Amazing staff for girls who are 7 and younger. We have been going to tricks since my daughter was 1. We started at the Sacramento one and transferred to this granite bay one about four years ago. The old owners of the gym transferred ownership recently which made me want to advise people against coming here for their older kids. My daughter was on the cheer team for two years. This year (the second year) was completely different than any time I have ever attended a tricks facility. Specifically Tosha who is the owner. If you ever have any issues whatsoever, she never takes ownership of any issues and will attempt to gaslight you to avoid confrontation. My daughter (9-10 at the time) as well as at least two others; cried multiple times from the horrible attitude and words of the coaches (Tosha & Jess). They never gave a real attempt at working with my daughter who has a learning disability and mental health issues. I can't count how many times this inconsiderate woman belittled my daughter into thinking she amounted to shit. And bringing up these issues and being told "I don't see a problem at all". Her resolution was to advise me at least 3-4 different times (on a expensive team mind you) that "we could just leave and go to a new gym if we didn't like it." The other issues were the constant moving of practice times and days and only having ONE tumbling class available for the cheerleaders to enroll in. And if we couldn't do it it was "too bad". Constantly strayed away from contract smh. So if you have a child who is not neurotypical, avoid this place like the plague!! Also if you're learning any type of tumbling, you will never progress here. My daughter in just three months of attending l; sharpened and gained a new skill all in the same. Like I said; the little gym and other teachers are great! I've had nothing but great experiences with with my youngest. Pulled my daughter and she hasn't shed a single tear since. Loves and thrives at her new place where she isn't constantly being torn down. All Tosha casagrande cares about is money, not the actual cheerleaders or their families. read more

Tricks Gymnastics - Sparkle team 2022-2023 - Performing Arts Near Me - Granite Bay, California

Like other people who have left comments, I agree the customer service has gone completely downhill since the new owners took over. They do not disclose information clearly and will charge you without warning if they've made "mistakes". Their policy is pretty much "tough luck" even when it is their mistake. read more

Took my son and daughter here for a while. The staff is very pleasant and the kids had fun.

Very underwhelming experience after two years. Felt more like a babysitting service rather than a place to learn gymnastics. Charged my family for a full month of membership after we tried to cancel and they responded by telling us "tough luck" basically. Would never recommend. read more

Kids enjoy it, but their customer service is atrocious. They just make things so difficult and draconian when it's not necessary.

love love love the Granite Bay Tricks, their staff and their teachers. Perfect for babies, toddler, and kids. Miss Kaylie is a WONDERFUL teacher. I love that she also signs while she is teaching. They even sent a sweet card to my daughter welcoming her to the family. read more

After Gymboree playtime closed in Citrus Heights at the end of 2019 I wanted something for my son to do that involved following directions and exercise. Once covid hit that got really difficult. So when things re opened for a bit Tricks gym was a huge hit for us. As of pre holiday the gym was very strict on masking, temperature check, sanitizing and spectators. Unfortunately they now allow staff to wear face shields and chin cups that don't give my child any safety. So we've had to waitlist for a class that has a teacher willing to mask for the kids. But it's not just covid protocol I'm frustrated with. We signed up with a specific teacher who was super fun and encouraging. She went back to school and we got a new teacher 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately she's very impatient with the group, ummmm they are the 3yr old class , and just doesn't have the energy, patience, or excitement our previous teacher did. Very disappointed and am hoping the waitlist gets us moved soon. We already paid for the month so I have to just deal with it for now. read more

The business has gone down hill since it sold to new owners, they took their dance team to Vegas, the parents had to pay for the instructors to go with them. I kept telling my son and his wife to stop wasting their money and go find another place. read more

Our family loves Tricks! We attend rec gym, competition gym and the TAG class. The coaches are so kind and patient- we're very grateful to send our kids here. read more

We have been with Tricks for a couple years now and our daughter is having fun and gaining confidence in both gymnastics and dance. The gymnastics is especially great and her teachers have been so sweet and encouraging, particularly Alana, Heather, Joni, and Kaylie. read more

My daughter has been going to trucks gym for over a year now, she was 18 months when she started and she really looks forward to class each week. She loves her teacher. They stick to similar routines so it's easy for the little ones to learn and follow directions. She recently started dance and she loves it just as much. read more

We love Tricks Amazing with children and are extremely patient, especially with the toddlers. They are always coming up with new and exciting obstacles and activities that keep the kids engaged which can be challenging for 2 and 3 year olds but they do a fantastic job. We look forward to coming every week and are seeing our daughter develop strength, independence and confidence before our eyes. read more

Beware of shady billing practices. We enrolled in a trial "no-risk" class on July 16th. Due to limited enrollment spaces, I chose to finish out the month for $45. Well, my daughter twisted her ankle the night before what would have been her 2nd class (23rd). They penciled her in for a "make-up," but with the most recent COVID surge and everything else, I decided against continuing enrollment for August. Well, turns out what I thought would be her final class on July 30th would actually be billed for August... and there is no cash value for make-ups. So, I would have had to pay the whole next month's tuition to use that make-up. And make-ups have "no cash value." That's a lot to pay for a single, 45-minute session of some tumbling with a not-so-enthusiastic coach. I'm going to keep looking... read more

If their was a ZERO star that's what I would rate it. Absolutely ridiculous customer service, I brought my 3year old daughter in today for a makeup class that she was all dressed and ready for after getting a voice message from them. My daughter needless to say was completely crushed when we arrived to them saying that their was absolutely no way she could get into the class for todays makeup. I have liked their services and events in the past for how they accommodate so well, but whoever or whatever the management system is there now is just about the worst I've ever seen! read more

My daughter and I absolutely loves Tricks Gymnastics program! Amber is her instructor and she is so patient and friendly and always willing to help my daughter with any questions. All the staff is friendly and helpful. The facility is super clean and always well heated and air conditioned. read more

Rachel at the front made sign in and sign up a quick and painless procedure. She gave us the tour and got us all dialed in on the gym setup. Next up it was our teacher Miss Stephanie. She was absolutely wonderful, I mean talk about a real legit saint --dealing with little squirming and squealing 3 year olds! It's an art (and not one I would prefer to dabble in myself). It's not dirt cheap but nothing involving instruction is, so I had to ask myself... Do I want to give him that foundation to possibly turn him into the greatest breakdancer of all time? Well, of course! I was also certain however that I did want to break him out if his shell, have him learn a bit about coordination, see if he could be respectful and patient in a group environment and most importantly tucker him out! All is going well thus far, stay tuned for an update. read more

My daughter started at tricks in the kinder class with Mr Andrew then worked her way up thru the wonder and level 1 classes with Ms Trayce, and has since moved up to the artistic team with Ms Trayce and Ms Renee. As we begin our second year on the artistic team we could not imagine being anywhere else. Ms Trayce and Ms Renee not only have taught her amazing gymnastics skills they have also given her the confidence to strive for more. We love Tricks Granite Bay! read more

Tricks Gymnastics - Performing Arts Near Me - Granite Bay, California

My (2) daughters initially began here at Tricks and they attended classes from as soon as they could walk it seems. Our experience with Tricks has always been professional, fun for the girls and there were enough classes, coaches and instructors to accomodate busy schedules and feisty kids. We have hosted several birthday parties for our daughters and we were always delighted. Both girls went on to advanced gymnastics and other sports but we owe their athleticism to the early lessons at Tricks. Keep up the great work. read more

Tricks Gymnastics - Tricks is the place to bring your children for so many reasons. My daughters have been coming for years. LOVE the instructors too. - Performing Arts Near Me - Granite Bay, California

She has gain so much confidence in herself and has worked so hard to get to where she is at! Plus, she adores Mrs Trayce and Mrs Renee! Thank you Tricks family!! read more

Well run, clean and organized. Great instructors with a heart for children and the sport. Completely satisfied.

Super overcrowded, kids are always running into each other, coaches get no break. On my second week coaching, I was told by a head coach to spot a girls round-off backhand-spring with no training. I had never even spot a regular back handspring so I was very scared for the girls safety. Not all kids get equal amounts attention because there are so many kids in each class. read more

My granddaughter had her 9th birthday party here. I was a little concerned how well it would go because of the age differences between the kids. They were AMAZING! Extremely high energy activities and great supervision kept all the kids happy. After the activities (perfect amount of time btw) they moved us into a cute party room. We didn't have to do a thing but watch, enjoy and take pictures. Awesome place and wonderful staff. read more

Tricks is a really cute little gym for building self-confidence, learning to follow directions and for a good time. If you want to be a professional gymnast or dancer, I would definitely take your business elsewhere. My granddaughter had Mr. Andrew as a teacher and he was fun, sweet and good with the kids. We really haven't seen a bad teacher there. For dance she had Miss Joanne. Both the spring and winter performances were cute It is definitely a confidence booster to perform and get the applause after working hard on the routine. She was all smiles afterwards. She wanted to be like Angelina ballerina. That being said it's great for preschool age and under. If you have an older kid who is serious about gymnastics or dance there are other places in the area that will serve you better. read more

Lots of classes and camps. They really work with a busy schedule. Both of my girls have been going for more than a year and really love it. Instructors are great and I'm just wondering how we'll ever manage to schedule all the classes the girls want to take. Dance, Jazz, Hip Hop, gymnsatics... and now Tap Shoes clicking around at home,,uh. Oh well, the girls are happy and exhausted at the end of the day. read more

We have been coming to Tricks gymnastics for almost 6 years ~ first for my son, and now for my daughter ~ and it has been something we look forward to each week! From the baby class to the toddler class, to the big kid class, my children have grown up in this gym playing, bouncing, singing, learning and best of all gaining confidence and strength in their bodies. I love watching them learn new tricks and master abilities that they have been working on for weeks. They feel good about themselves as they develop and have so much fun in the process! We have tried other gymnastic classes over the years, but nothing compares to the program offered at Tricks. We love the teachers and the teachers love the kids. There is nothing quite like telling my daughter it is time to go to gymnastics ~ her excitement before, during and after are priceless! read more

My daughter goes there for little tutu dance and it's great. Sammy is very nice and patient. I like the ambiance. Highly recommend it.

I attended tricks for 3 years when I was in elementary school. I have awarded them a star for each year I was there. Here are my thoughts: 1 - the best thing about this place was the trampolines. They have the long running ones and the square one for bouncing on. 2 - because I was an older kid I never got to play in the foam pit unless it was for a birthday party. 3 - I didn't get invited to enough birthday parties at Tricks. A few here and there but I honestly did not get enough time in that pit of blue square goodness and joy 4 - I loved the sticker chart to track your gymnastic progress. I got all the stickers for good attitude and team player and NONE for being good at gymnastics 5 - I am and have always been bad at gymnastics and uncomfortable in unitards which was the outfit de rigor while I was in attendance. Long story short, I did a lot of gymnastics and I'm still bad at it because some people are not meant to flip upside down ever (me) read more

Our daughters took classes here for about a year. It was chaos every time we were there. It seems like there are several dozen kids in the gym in different classes at any one time. Complete pandemonium. Both my girls have been injured during class without a phone call and we only found out about a chipped tooth from the girls directly and not their instructor or the office. Another time, one of our daughters got locked in the bathroom and was stuck in there for over a half hour. She was traumatized to say the least. Overall, it seems too busy and too poorly managed/supervised for us to continue entrusting our girls safety there. read more

Granite Bay Tricks has been amazing for my daughter. She loves this place. The coaches are fantastic. Her Team Coaches Renee, Tracye & Mollymckenna has brought her to a new & exciting level! We cant wait to see her next skill. She got her millecircle at Tricks & is so proud of herself for this accomplishment. Her determination has made her realize the possibilities she has if she listens to her coaches, works hard & practices she can do it. Thank you GB Tricks! read more

All three of my kids have gone to Tricks! Love this place, great place to make wonderful memories and for kids to learn and have fun.

We've had our two-year-old enrolled in the toddler class for about two months now and we LOVE Tricks! The staff is so kind and friendly and it is evident how much they enjoy their job and teaching the kids. Barbara Jo especially is just amazing and our baby adores her class. Thank you to everyone at Tricks for giving our girl a safe, happy place to explore and gain confidence in her abilities. We will be attending classes for years to come! read more

My girls have been going to gymnastics here for over a year and it has been such a positive experience for both of them. I just have to make a shout out to Ms. Lorna. She is such a special person and I highly recommend her for the toddler class. She has such an amazing way with young children. She makes your child feel so special in every single one of her classes. My daughter recently graduated to the 3 year old class and we are really going to miss Ms. Lorna. She is such an amazing teacher and person!! Love this place! read more

My son loves going to Tricks! He is enrolled in the TAG classes and absolutely loves coach Connor! Kelly in the front office, along with the rest of the office staff, is beyond friendly and welcoming! They all provide excellent customer service and are happy to answer my questions and address concerns promptly!! I would highly recommend this facility! read more

My daughter loves going to tricks granite bay! It has made such an impact on her strength and confidence. She truly loves working with coach renee & mollymckenna! We look forward to many more years here! read more

We love Tricks!!! We have our 18 month old in toddler gym with Miss Allison. She loves it.

Tricks has played a very important role in our daughter's overall growth and confidence in herself. We have been part of the artistic gymnastics team for 3 years, and both Renee and Trayce have been instrumental in developing her resilience, commitment, and hard working attitude not only to the sport but to life as well. Additionally, both coaches know what each of the girls need in order to succeed, and have continued to value and shape the individual learning process so that the girls become successful in their own way and on their own time. As a side note, I am always humbly surprised at how well our team does as compared to other very competitive gyms in the outlying areas. Bravo Coach Renee and Coach Trayce for being such outstanding coaches to our girls! read more

I don't really know where to start but the first word that comes to mind is CHAOS!!!!!! There are so many children running around and jumping and I am shocked there are not more injuries. The classes in my opinion have too many children. My daughter is in an early gymnastics class - there are 7 total children and sometimes only one teacher and sometimes two. My daughter is quiet and while the teachers are busy helping the others, she is standing doing nothing! Other children are doing this too, because they don't know what they are doing yet. And on top of that they just crowd them in - they want them to spread out on the floor so their arms don't touch when they are up but there is literally no room for this because there are so many other classes happening at the same time. They are just trying to make money and not produce any real experience. The seating for the parents is a total joke! It is carpeted (gross) and very little is available because they cram so many classes and kids in! What is wrong with regular bleachers???? I have never seen anything like this for a seating area. My daughter though is enjoying it, but I refuse to sign her up for another session with so much going on at this gym and very little to be shown for it as far as what she is learning. Last complaint - we are paying through a charter school - when I signed up via telephone, they were super nice - no problem. We go to the first class and we are treated like a major inconvenience. The girl literally rolled her eyes and said she would have to have someone else talk to me because the schools are not good at paying on time and it is a problem. I was annoyed with her and told her that is an issue they need to take up with the schools. If you don't like it - don't do it. read more
