Love this gym, it's clean, cool, always enough room for everyone accept the real busy time at 5:00 PM. But that's still fine. Love this gym. read more

I have to say this gym is great. We do not cheer but take sessions when we have availability. The prices are reasonable from $11 to $16 per 45 minute session. The website is great and easy to book no contract or initiation fee. Each class is set up in stations to focus building skills for developing different tumbling stunts such as cartwheels, front walk over, and back walk overs. The parent waiting area located outside the gym with two large windows to view the participants working through muscle memory stations. It is in a shared space with the juice bar connected to In Shape gym. Pro tip: evenings get pretty packed so make sure you give yourself enough time to find parking. The parking is shared with In Shape gym. If you are unable to make a session you can reschedule your session through your confirmation email. My child was recently sick the day before a tumbling session and it was super easy to reschedule. read more

My daughter said that they weren't helpful her first time there. She did the beginner tumbling class and they were just expected to do whatever they wanted without direction. She asked to not attend there anymore. read more

We love our gym the staff is very attentive and truly know what they are doing. The only thing I don't like is I should've brought my child here sooner! read more

University Cheer Force Gym - Gyms Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Doesn't help and expensive. Tried to get my daughter in cheer and nope didn't help at all.

If you're expecting the Beginner tumbling class to be for beginners, please reconsider. The gym is really nice but geared towards kids that know how to tumble. My 6 year old looks grown for her age, so I'm sure they expected her to know more than she did but wanted her to do some really advanced tumbling moves right off the bat. We left early with her in tears. This review is not to bash this gym but to give a heads up, that the "beginner" class is really tough! read more

If you want a gym with no favoritism, that thrive on growth, not just winning, this is your gym. We have been there 6 months and the growth not only in cheer but as a little human is something Webster doesn't have words for. Every coach is top notch! read more

We drive quite a way to cheer here for a reason. UCF is hands down the best gym with-in an hr of the Sacramento area. With 15 teams (2 Worlds teams) and 350 athletes (varies from year to year) they truly have a team for every age and skill level. UCF has been around for 19 seasons. It's a big gym with a small gym feel. Everyone knows everyone, and they truly are one big UCF family. The older girls really go out of their way to mentor the littles. All of the athletes and parents cheer each other on. They are big on technique, proper training, inclusion, teamwork, and character. The staff is top notch. It's just an over positive family environment. They also happen to be ridiculously successful which is really just the icing on the cake. They just came home from Worlds with one team placing Top 10 in the WORLD, and the other coming home as BRONZE WORLD CHAMPIONS. Teams of every level here compete against best of the best and hold their own. We look forward to many more seasons with UCF. My young athlete is flourishing here. read more

Could not be happier with our experience with UCF. My daughter has been tumbling here for the last three years, has been on the half year team and is now on the full year team. The gym goes above and beyond to promote inclusion, team building and life skills that your athlete will use both on and off the mat. Each month there is a philanthropy cause for the athletes to participate in, there are team and gym events, spirit weeks and more. The coaches are phenomenal, building confidence and strength in both tumbling, stunting and cheer. My daughter is loving being a part of the UCF family and I could not be more proud of what this gym has brought out of her and given her. Highly recommend UCF! read more

I battled with the drive and really thought I was going to move to a gym closer to us once the season was over but with every practice the drive became worth it! Staff, coaches, parents have all been amazing! My daughter loves UCF and this will be her forever cheer home read more

This is my daughter's 3rd year at UCF and she loves it. She takes tumbling classes twice a week and has gained so much in her technique and abilities. She loves the coaches and the owners, Jill and Nicole. I love the way the staff makes my daughter feel like she is a part of their cheer family. UCF has a great system for communicating with the parents, either by email, group me messaging, or all of their social media accounts, I never miss a thing. We have also really enjoyed all of the extras they offer. My daughter loves to go to their open gym nights and has had great experiences with private tumbling lessons. There is a reason so many people drive great distances to be apart of this cheer gym. I highly recommend it. read more

Extremely unprofessional. I contacted UCF in hopes of getting tumbling instruction and was met with great disappointment. The instructor that I was supposed to meet with was very dismissive, seemed immature, and lacked any sort of personal skills. It took a long time for them to return my phone calls (two weeks to be exact), although they had promised to get back to me shortly. Would never go here again or recommend this to friends of family. read more

University Cheer Force has not officially registered through Yelp to have the ability to respond to any reviews and suggestions. I will attempt to write this review to address some outstanding issues that have been recently posted on this yelp page. We are host to over 100's of customers on a weekly bases. Most of our customers have been in our gym for many, many years. And what's even more fantastic; we are receiving more and more new customers every day. This is a great problem to have. :) I have to say, It's quite disappointing to read we have an unhappy customer every now and then. However, we aren't aware of the situation if you do not approach us about any issues you may have about UCF. Please give us the courtesy (in person) of addressing any issues you may have with our gym. We will listen...we promise! We pride ourselves on customer service and ALWAYS want our customers to leave the gym with a smile on their face. read more

Best Cheer Gym ever! My daughters Cheer for UCF and love it, going on 4 years at this gym and have not a single complaint. The coaches are fantastic and the owners are wonderful people. Its like a second family here! read more

Love the posts.. been here for 4 years, you want to work, come here, you want a team at Nationals, come here...you want to complain, may not be the best place. Im pretty sure people don't like coaching styles at USA olympic junior training camps and customer service isnt their forte. ..your child will learn and be a part of great program. My daughter doesnt always "like" things and i may not agree with everything. But if i could do better, i would coach and my child is 100% better than 4 years ago, not to mention it becomes a family..u like some, dont like some and LOVE others..but always respect the program. read more

I absolutely love this cheer gym along with the staff. The coaches have a genuine interest in each athlete. The coaches mentor and help each athlete to reach their full potential. My daughter wouldnt dream of going to any other place to cheer. UCF is a family not just a cheer gym. The prices are right and the experiences you'll have are memorable and priceless. Go check them out...you'll be AMAZED. GO UCF!! read more

UCF got my attention about three years ago. Their routines were incredible and watching them was always a pleasure. This is the first year my daughter is cheering at UCF, so far my daughter likes it. The owners, Staff and coaches have been nice to us. My daughter has privates with Daija and has improve a lot. Can't wait for comp season to start. read more

We were invited here last year by our daughter's Cheerleader coach's for practice before some of the competitions. The experience was ok just not fantastic. We came a handful of times, the ladies in charge never greeted the parents walking in. Which was a little disappointing. Also from time to time when watching, they would talk to the girls rude & belittling. These girls are 12 and 13, I understand you have to firm with these aged girls at the same time being belittling doesn't help motivate. It could have just been super long days for them, not sure. read more

My daughter has been coming here for the past three plus years now and she likes it. Great place to learn proper techniques. I've been holding back on writing a review hoping customer service was going to improve. I'm giving two stars today because of the worst customer service or people skills that they have here. People in the front desk have either no people skills or common courtesy to say hello or say hello back. Three years and they still stair at me and my wife with a blank facial expression.Teachers are great and all about teaching with no interactions with the parents. All in all great place to come by and learn the proper techniques and fundamentals. read more

My daughter was at this gym for a cheer clinic, and was pretty seriously injured within the first hour. First, she was placed in a stunt group that was not experienced enough for the level of difficulty of the stunt. Then when she got hurt, one of the instructors argued with her, telling her that she didn't fall on her ankle, and that she mostly just scared herself. An urgent care visit, regular doctor appointment and an MRI later, we found out that she has a torn ligament that might require surgery. Put all of that aside, the coaches were so disrespectful to the girls, and not in a way of motivating them to do their best. They renamed the girls to names that were demeaning and rude. These are 11 and 12 year olds and were made to feel like they were stupid and lazy. We were only guests at this place for a three day camp, and I will never be back. Was so not impressed. Did not like the rudeness to the girls or that we got no sympathy for my daughters injury. read more

My daughters used to cheer here and had a lot of fun meeting new friends. However, there is a lot of pressure from the coaches and owner. If your child is not having a good practice day, the child is talked down to, degraded in front of the other athletes, and threatened to either be taken off the team or removed from a highly sought after position. It's unfortunate to have spent a lot of money and time, to only be expected to know certain cheer moves or positions; and when my younger daughter asked for help from coach CP, she told her she should already know it. This of course was when my daughter was new. Coach CP has no patience and talks down to most of the athletes unless you are among the chosen few she likes. She yells a lot at the girls and my oldest came home upset most of the time. She and coach DW and owner NV obviously only want to win and disregard the teaching aspect for kids. Needless to say, this was not a right fit for the way we think positive coaching should exemplify. We have found a better fit with positive coaching in the Bay. read more

This is our first year at UCF. We couldn't be happier from the customer service, uniform and practice wear promptly handled, the detailed billing, and honesty! This is our third gym and my daughter has never been happier or progressed as quickly. Even when practices are hard she has a smile on her face and says how fun practice was. This is a first. It's such a relief to not have any drama or negativity. All the other athletes and staff are welcoming and friendly. All the athletes get along and kids are not left out. This gym is amazing. read more

Does not get any better than this, Trust me we have tried other Cheer Gyms! read more
