Do not book your birthday party with the 5280 South Gym. We booked my daughters 6th birthday party here on February 11th, after it taking almost 2 weeks to contact people and get the right information of how to book. They didnt answer the phones during business hours, and took a while to get back to me when leaving a message. I over looked that and went into the South Gym 2/11/17 and paid a $65 cash deposit and filled out a form for her party on March 5th and 3pm. The days before the party we tried contacting just to confirm and ask a couple last minute questions, and could not get a hold of anyone. On Sunday, March 5th we showed up at the gym at 2:35 to set up for the party at 3. The doors were locked, and no cars where in the lot. No one was in the gym to open it or supervise the party for us. We tried calling them and were even calling the North Gym to find someone who could help us figure out what was happening. No one would answer or call back. We had to re-route all the friends and family to a nearby park. Despite the winds and the kids being cold because they were dressed for an indoor gymnastics party, the kids played and had fun. However, I have left messages each day, called during business hours, and no one has called me back to explain or rectify what in the world happened. It is now Tuesday, and since Sunday we have not heard anything from them. I have also filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, but did not want any parent to have to go through the same situation. Having a kid tour the party location, then get excited for a month to have a gymnastics party, only to have it be cancelled while we are at the location, was not a fun birthday surprise. I get that mistakes are made, but find it utterly incompetent and disrespectful that a service I paid for has not been given, and no one has had the decency to call me back about it.

Beware of their head coach Mikah Hammond, who coaches North girls team from level 5 and up. VERY emotionally abusive inadequate coach and person. Your child can be thrown out of the practice (for the entire practice, sometimes for days or weeks in a row while of course you continue to pay the bill) just because they didnt do their cast off the bar the way she wanted them to (without being given a second chance) or did their press-handstand too close to their friend. Our daughter started showing alarming signs of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) just short TWO months after moving up into Mikahs group. She started waking up with nightmares multiple times every night, some of them were very gory and disturbing (a couple of examples of her nightmares: coach Mikah slicing girls throats or lining them up and deciding whos to live and who is to die). We had to get professional help for her to help her overcome her PTSD. A year later, every now and then she still wakes up saying that she saw a scary dream about Mikah. Management is well-aware and is supportive of Mikahs coaching "techniques". Since we left 5280, I have met at least 20 of other families who left 5280 because their children could no longer deal with Mikahs abusive coaching. One more thing: when my daughter switched over to another gym near by, 5280 kicked my son out (he too was on the team) because they have a "siblings non-splitting policy" with few gyms. It was awful and so unfair. He was heartbroken and quit gymnastics. I know of at least two more families whose sons were too kicked out when their daughters were forced to switch gyms because of Mikah. And finally, when I asked the manager Kim if she could offer his competitive uniform that was used just for one season to another family since my son was forced to leave 5280, she replied to me asking if I would remove my (negative) yelp review.

My son has been going there for a little over a month and so far his coaches have been fabulous! It is structured and strict to teach the kids respect and what this sport requires to be a good gymnast and I couldnt be happier.

Rude coaches.... went there for 7 years... 1 coach really was so rude. Not going to say names but Mikah. She was SO rude to me. And there was black mold under the mats... NO JOCK... beware

5280 Gymnastics is not a good gym. I am truly dissapointed. The place is disorganized and the management is awful. The coaches are mean and abusive and call gymnasts bad names.

Produces fantastic gymnasts, great school program for team, great kids, tough practices, and always busy, the real deal...
