We have been coming to Tumbles for the past 5 years and it has been an amazing experience. Our kids have worked their way up through all their classes. We also do their summer surf camps! We love Scott and Chase and are so thankful for Tumble Gym! read more

We hosted our daughters 4th birthday at tumbles and had a amazing experience! Scott, Chase and Victoria were awesome and everyone had so much fun at the party! The class they led was perfect for the age group. The music, activities and layout worked great to keep the kids entertained and active the whole time. From first email to staff helping clean up with the party, the whole experience was excellent! I would definitely recommend this venue for hosting a birthday! read more

This place is awesome, maverick loves it. Only "complaint" when they have a class they for the most part let kids wait for their turn which is fine. But not when it's completely packed and they have sit for several minutes in between. I would think there's a better format or solution. It's hard for any kid to sit and wait too long when they are having a blast. And they do have a blast. Maybe have 2 exercise going at the same time. (When there's enough kids) read more

These guys are GREAT! My wife and 2 year old son go every week and I pop in when I can. Scott and Chase are so good with the kids, and they create such a fun and energy-burning atmosphere for the kids. Plus, the activities naturally teach the kids coordination and strength as they play! Try it out. read more

A great place for little ones to shake their sillies out. We have only been to JW Tumbles a few times and already I can see the difference in my 13 months old. She is moving more, better, with greater awareness and grace. And she is having so much fun! She just squeals from joy when she plays with Jacob. Both Jacob and Scott are great with kids and very accommodating with the parents. We are happy to have found this place and look forward to coming here as the little one continues to grow and develop. If it's your first time, the entrance can be tricky to find. Go all the way to the back BEHIND the boys and girls club and then up the white wooden stairs. read more

Tumbles - Open gym with Jacob, Mondays trough Thursdays - Indoor Playcenter Near Me - Encinitas, California

I took a class today with my 16 month old and it was so much fun. My son loved it and we can't wait to go back next week.

My daughters love these guys! My daughters have so much fun and have learned a lot in just a few months.

Mr. Scott is an INCREDIBLE instructor. So many developmental lessons he teaches thru movement- listening to directions, working cooperatively, manners, working thru anxiety abt new movements, learning from other kids, and so much more!!! I'm so impressed. Energy level always up and positive. Terrific! read more

My son loves this place and so do I! So much to do and safe and enjoyable for all. I like how they bring out new stuff for the kids every five minutes. Not a dull moment and my kid gets more adventurous and balanced everytime he goes. read more

We have done some summer camps here. Kids LOVE LOVE LOVE it! My only concerns: with so many girls in their camps, they have no female employees (with the camps we have been to). I think in this day and time, this is something that should be a MUST! Especially with bathroom breaks and things of that sort. This review comes out of thoughtfulness for their business so that nothing ever happens because we do love what they do and the energy they bring! Also, place is a little small but they do the best with what they have. Again, kids loved it! Will definitly go back, just hope to see at least one female staffer! read more

Tumbles is AWESOME! The owner Scott and his son Chase are the reason - they are so amazing! They keep the kids engaged and it is clear that they truly love what they do! I have been taking my young kids here for several years and have hired Tumbles for birthday parties on location and in a park. The parties are a huge hit - every time! I have taken kids to Gymboree and to Y Gymnastics in the past, but Tumbles is so much better. They have a good mix of activities, from 'adventure' free time to more structured exercises to music and play activities. It is the one place where the kids ALWAYS want to go - and me too! I recommend Tumbles for everyone! read more

The gym begins and ends with Scott. Period. He's the owner / operator and he's there nearly 24/7. He cares. It's that simple. We've paid more and we've paid less for classes elsewhere, but we always come back. Why? Scott. Other instructors can have all the credentials they want, but if they don't care about kids, understand kids, or are used to working with, pushing, and supporting kids...they're not going to succeed like Scott does. My oldest is 3 1/2 and has been going to JW Tumbles for over 2 years. I truly believe the class has helped her in a lot more ways than just burning off energy. She gets to explore and test her physical limits. Pushing herself to climb higher and take risks always. And, with the different age groups, she can keep taking class as she advances. My youngest is 1 1/2 and she loves Scott too. How do I know? I see her imitate "Mister Scott" all the time at home. I know the stretch routines and some of the bits that he uses to entertain the toddlers and she knows them. Ask her to Stretch and she immediately starts to stretch. Than she says "twist" and starts the next exercise in the class warm up routine. She also constantly does a fake sneeze to get things to fall of her head, because that's what "Mister Scott" does and it always makes her giggle. Scott works with kids. Love kids. And has 4 of his own. You really can't go wrong trusting his know how and love for children. His new location is a little less convenient at first, but once you know where it is, you'll appreciate the much better parking situation. The old strip mall location was easy to find, but that parking lot had tiny spaces and was always packed. This location is behind the Boys & Girls' Club and above their Gym. You have to walk a little bit to it, but I much prefer it to the old location. Plus, after class, there's a nice, recently rebuilt, playground across from the parking lot. Tumbles, playground, picnic lunch, and then a drive home with two exhausted girls that fall asleep so easily. What's not to love? read more

Scott and Chase are amazing with kids and always keep things new and exciting. It has helped my 3 and 4 year old immensely gaining independence, coordination and social skills. We go twice a week and it is the highlight of our week! read more

We had my daughters 2nd Birthday Party here and it was a blast. Their facility is extremely clean and inviting. They know how to throw a well organized party with age appropriate games that the kids have fun but that are safe. As a mom it was great to have a birthday party where they offered helping hands so I can enjoy the party as well from decorating and set up help to meal prep to clean up. Every kids had such a fun time and for really active toddlers they kept changing up the play environment to make the kids constantly busy and engaged! read more

We had my daughter's three-year-old birthday party this past Saturday at Tumbles, and it was simply amazing! We invited 12 toddlers and their parents. The 2-hour event was filled with activities from beginning to end, so the kids were always distracted and had the opportunity to participate in all sorts of fun and whacky games. Scott has been doing this for several years now, so he's a pro, and it definitely shows! His assistant Steve was also high-energy, very attentive to the toddler's needs, and helped Scott build and tear down gym apparatus after apparatus. The kids were continuously stimulated with music and different obstacles. Each of the toddlers decided whether they wanted to partake in group activities or have independent play. It was truly a great mix of activities. All of the above in a very safe gym environment. The kids were constantly supervised, but even if they weren't, it would be difficult for them to get hurt with all the padding and protective gear surrounding each activity station. At the end of the event, the Tumbles crew takes care of all the cleaning (with the food mess and disposing of the used paper plates/cups), and you go home with an extremely happy toddler! Thank you Tumbles for making our little girl's day extra special this year! read more

We use Tumbles for an off property Toddler Time event! Scott is so wonderful to work with and the kiddos really love him. The kids have so much fun because Scott brings so many activities for them to do. They never stop running around and always really enjoy this experience! read more

It was fun to watch my daughter climb around at JW Tumbles. She loves the place. The staff are enthusiastic and friendly. You can see that is having tons of fun. If you have a daughter like mine who is fearless and headstrong, this is a great place for her. I feel more at ease to take her to JW tumbles than to the park. At the park, Hannah would just jump off things which make my heart skip a beat. She just has no fear. At JW Tumbles, things are well padded for her protection. read more

We LOVE Tumbles Encinitas! Scott and staff are always wonderful with the kids and our kids love their time there. The location above the Encinitas Boys & Girls Clubhouse is a huge bonus for after school activities before and after Tumbles classes. Over the past year + our kids (age 10) have had fun, healthy afternoons taking gymnastics, camps and fitkid classes up to 4 afternoons a week. Our kids have developed increased strength, balance, and confidence while having a blast in a positive and supportive environment. They are challenged to both push themselves and improve with each class. Highly recommend! read more

My 13 month old recently joined a class for his age group and we just love bringing him here. Scott and Jacob are so wonderful with all of the kids and we can tell that they genuinely care. Our home is all tile flooring so its really nice to bring my son to a safe, clean space where he can explore, climb and interact with other kids his age. My toddler has so much fun and gets a lot of individual attention. Scott and Jacob are really accommodating and welcoming...they encourage Zaden to try lots of fun new things. We're super happy! read more

We arranged to have our daughter's 3rd birthday here. It was exactly like Scott described it would be over the phone. Since it was for a 3 yr old, we get the guest to under 7 yrs old to make sure everyone was entertained. Most of the guest were in the 3 to 5 yr old range. One kid was 18 months, a sibling, who had a blast. The wasn't a dull moment, until maybe the pizza, when everyone caught their breath. The team there did a great job to keep everyone engaged. If there were to be on con - which is even a stretch (hence still giving 5 stars) - is ample room for parents while watching kids. Not a whole lot of space, most comfortably sat on the floor. One of the best parts was the "snowball" fight. Unique in my opinion and brought a smile to everyone's face - kids and parents alike. Would definitely go back. Do to the size of the location would definitely recommend keeping the number of kids to 15 and under, helps with the number of adults too. read more

Our 8 year old daughter has been attending classes at Tumbles with Scott and his team since she was 2. She absolutely loves the Scott and the place (and so do I). Over the years, she's gained tons of strength and confidence at Tumbles - all while having a blast. Tumbles is truly a gem for anyone smaller children who love being active. And Scott, himself, is an amazing motivator, mentor and guide for the classes. read more

We are home from hosting our son's third birthday party here earlier today, and we are absolutely elated over how it went. I believe these folks used to be in a different location, but they are now on the second floor of a building behind the Boys & Girls Club off Encinitas Blvd, so don't be confused when Google Maps starts telling you that's where you want to go. Once you get there, you park in the same lot as you would for the Club, but then take a short walk past it to find JW Tumbles tucked behind it. The room isn't huge, but more importantly, it is colorful and clean and exciting... just begging for your little one to run and jump and climb and roll to their heart's content. The other thing that makes or breaks these types of parties is the staff, and Scott has the most amazing connection with young people, effortlessly leading them through games, songs, dancing, climbing, and exploration. He makes it look so easy to give 15 toddlers the time of their lives for two hours! His helper Jake is just as in-tune with the kids, and helped make the party an exceptional experience. As any toddler's parent will tell you, a critical part of a child's development during their young years is understanding what their bodies can do and how to use it to relate to their environment. With JW Tumbles, you can see it happening right before your eyes, and it is a wonderful thing to see. Booking a birthday party here is about as easy as it gets. I was able to book online, email with Scott to adjust the timing to fit our schedule better, and then drop off all the decorations the day before. The morning of, Scott and Jake were there well before our party time, helping to set everything up. The things they had planned for the the party guests (15 kids) were absolutely perfect for the 3-4 age group, and yet the siblings who attended and were older (from 5 up to 8) had just as much fun. They had music, and props like foam balls and gauzy hankerchiefs and ziplines; games, stories, and songs. We took about 15 minutes toward the end for the kids to eat and do the birthday cake, and then there was a "snowball" fight with a final red carpet walk to send the kids off on their way. Jake was incredible helping to clean up afterwards, packing up right alongside us and even getting the boxes back into our car. There are only two things that I'd say you should be aware of. Firstly, there is a staircase to get up to JW Tumbles, and no elevator. Anyone who is wheelchair bound or has a hard time with stairs is going to have a conundrum on their hands. Secondly, there isn't much extra seating, so while the kids are playing the parents can sit around the tables but when the kids are eating, the parents will pretty much have to stand around. Overall, given the experience we had, I am really digging to come up with these "negatives" and even as someone who can't climb stairs and can't stand for long, I wouldn't hesitate to come here again. I'm almost sorry I haven't been able to host more parties here. It's pretty much a guaranteed success, and seeing the joy on the childrens' faces made it one of the most memorable events we've ever had. read more

We've been going to Tumbles for about a year. At first I thought it was pricey, but now I know it's worth every penny. The great teachers have taught my son how to do many things, and he's now physically advanced for his age. It's a super fun environment and I encourage anyone with a little one to give it a try and stick with it--you'll see results. The owner is awesome and easy to work with. The employees do a really great job of engaging all the little ones and helping them develop new skills and even better--confidence. My 20 month old is now doing real deal somersaults and loving it! I plan to take my 7 month old as soon as she can crawl. read more

We just had our sons 1st birthday at JW Tumbles and it was a hit with all the parents and kids. Non stop laughing and smiling the whole time. We just found out that JW Tumbles does home birthday parties as well. Thanks Scott for making our sons 1st birthday one to remember! read more

Eddie, I'm not sure when you went in exactly...but during the later part of June they have kids camps. Not the normal parent participation or independent classes for the children. I have been going to this J.W Tumbles location for 11 years now! I was a nanny and her parents had me bring their daughter...then when I had my own children I started bring them as well, starting at six months to current six years old. (I also have a 3 year old and 4 month old) Mr. Scott and his staff are all wonderful, energetic people who love children and take pride in their jobs. The class is always structured, and very organized. There are times during each class that they allow the children to have "free play time." The children love this time to play on their own. It is very upbeat, and a positive children's gym. Mr. Scott is very encouraging to all the children and makes the class so much fun! My kids are constantly talking about gym class and get very excited to go. We have also had J.W Tumbles come to our home to host a party for my 3 year old sons birthday and it was a huge hit!! It was great!! I have several friends who bring their children their as well and we all would say the same thing about this Encinitas location. Good job Mr. Scott and his staff!! We love your gym and wouldn't change a thing!! read more

this is an awesome place for my daughter to learn new things and grow as a child. she gets exposed to different activities, learn how to play with other kids, practice her listening skills, etc... scott and his staff are really great in engaging the kids. my daughter was a little reserved to participate during her first day, but by end of the class, she was so excited that she got to be part of the fun. read more

My 2 1/2 year old daughter absolutely loves this place, as well as Scott the instructor. He is lively, friendly and is wonderful with the kids even when they can all have a hard time sitting still and concentrating sometimes. My daughter tends to be that kid that is still learning the skill of waiting her turn and he is great at handling her. It's fun to be involved with the kids class at this age. In the Twos class, they have a great mix of free play time to run around as well as structured activities where they learn a new "gymnastic-type" activity (like swinging on the rings, somersaults, etc). I look forward to my daughter growing through the different class levels. I would highly recommend JW Tumbles to anyone! read more

Absolutely the best 3 year old Birthday Party I've been invited to. JW Tumbles and its owner, host Scott made it a great time for our Son and all of his guests (parents too appeared to really enjoy seeing their children partake in all the activities). I can not imagine your child not having a really good time there especially if you're doing a Birthday Party. We plan to go back many more times to let our son enjoy this type of activity. Treat your child to a place where they can have fun and new experiences. read more

Great place for kids! My 2 and 3 year old had a wonderful time in the siblings class.

I was looking for a place for my very active kids who are 2 & 4, I heard that JW Tumble offers open gym time. I've been to the YMCA for open gym and it can be a madhouse. I have to keep my eyes on my kids the entire time so they don't get lost or trampled on in the mayhem. At J.W. Tumbles I was able to relax as my kids were able to run, jump and climb inside their cozy studio. The instructor on the floor, Jacob, was entertaining as he had both my son and daughter in stitches with the silly games he played with them. I was also impressed with the cleanliness and variety of different equipment they have. I can't wait to come back and sign up for another class!! read more

My 2 and 4 year old sons had a combined birthday party here, with kids from age 1 to 8, and it was a huge success. All of the kids had a great time, beyond even my hopeful expectations. Scott led an energetic and fun party from start to finish, taking into account my sons' favorite games and music. His enthusiasm had even the shy kids joining in the activities in time. The team moved seamlessly from activity to activity, setting up and breaking down mats and equipment without missing a beat. The smiles on my kids' faces said it all. We got so many compliments from the kids' parents, and it was clear that everyone had a great time. I highly recommend their party. read more

What a great program! My two year old loves going to class and has gained confidence and ability. He's fairly shy, but has started interacting more with the other children and the teachers. Scott and Jacob lead a great class with the perfect balance of structure and freedom. Excited about the next session. read more

I don't know where my original post went but we LOVE Tumbles! All 3 of my kids have been going to Tumbles for over 6 1/2 years! We love it. Scott does all of their parties....we recommend it to everyone! I have been to just about every type of class offered through the years and we have never had one class that we didn't love. Thank you JW Tumbles, Scott, and all of the staff over the years for all of the fun! read more

Sixth birthday party for my daughter and Scott delivered ultimate fun!! We had the party at the park which allowed for some outdoor and water fun. We invited about 50 kids and the entertainment non stop! There were water games, music... I did nothing but took pictures and watched the kids enjoy themselves. It keeps getting better and better each year. Thanks again Scott. My daughter can't wait for the one. read more

Seeing JW Tumbles on Yelp brought back so many fabulous memories. This children's gym was a cornerstone of my daughter's formative years and the center of so many relationships she still maintains today. Many friends with young children have accepted my referrals to JW Tumbles and are currently happy clients. Almost every single birthday party was held there, from age two upwards. Scott and crew were receptive to birthday party ideas that were sort of out of the box as my daughter got older. On one occasion they brought the Tumbles van to me and we did a GI Jane party at the park across the street. Every year it was something different and creative in addition to the regular weekly gym sessions that no one else in San Diego can really compare to. JW Tumbles is a treasure and Scott and family become a part of your child's life forever. read more

JW Tumbles is an Awesome Gym ! I have taken my child there since he was 4 months old and he absolutely loves it. He is now 16 months old. Scott the coordinator/owner is so fun, enthusiastic and interactive that he keeps my child's attention no problem. I have referred this place to everyone i know and they thoroughly enjoy their experience there every time. I had my little boys 1 year old Birthday Party there and it was for sure a party people went home talking about. It was well organized, high energy and interactive. The staff was on top of everything, they had numerous activities for the children to play one on one and as a group. The kids especially like the interactive songs, trampoline and choo choo train. My baby started walking the day after his party. It is a safe, clean place for the children and a social meeting place for the parents. We can't wait to go back !!! Thanks JW Tumbles for creating an amazing environment for our children. :) read more

Wonderful place! Scott and his staff are amazing! I had my daughter's 4th birthday party here and it was a HUGE success!!

Excellent! My 5 year old son recently had a Ninjago Ninja theme party and the kids had a blast! Can't go wrong here, I highly recommend this place. read more

Love the classes and open gym time. Instructors are nice. Price is reasonable. The reason for not giving a fifth star is location. It is upstairs now near the boys and girls club. We did not continue our membership after the move to this location, we did do a few open gyms at this location. We would go back at a later date. read more

Thank you for everything you did to make our 6 year old birthday party as fun as it was (on short notice)! You all were amazing from start to finish and all of the kids had a wonderful time. I couldn't get over how creative the activities were and was impressed by how well you kept kids of all ages entertained. Your team was phenomenal! Thank you! read more
