What a great facility and training center Lakewood Ranch Gymnastics is. Im Jenna, coached by David and Laura (owners of the facility) from age 12 until I graduated high school with an athletic scholarship. This gym is not just about gymnastics; it’s about the relationships built with your coaches, teammates that become lifelong friends, and lessons learned every day in the gym that are applicable to everyday life such as respect, communication, and trust. Laura and David are two of the most important people in my life that I will cherish and value forever. Without their support, care, and push I would not be where I am today. Yes, there were hard times in my career at Lakewood, times so rough that I wanted to just be done. However, these two with the most determination to make their athletes the best of their abilities, made the work so much more worth it. At this point, I dont even consider them coaches, more as parents or family. They motivate me every day and I am so blessed to be able to still be a part of their lives. I am now a Sophomore in college on athletic scholarship in Texas, living the dream. The dream they believed that I could achieve and pushed me every day to make sure I made it. I highly recommend this facility because I know your children will be in GREAT hands. It is a lot of work and determination to get to where I am at and Laura and David made sure I was ready for it. Coming into college as a freshman, I was much more in shape and ready for any kind of change than everyone else because I was prepared so well in club. Whenever I am home for break, Im normally always in the gym. Just cant seem to get enough of the place. I was so fortunate to be given an opportunity to work out in this amazing facility and I hope you will see that your child will benefit immensely in this program as well.

Pros: Clearly these folks know how to teach gymnastics. For the average kid who is there to become a more rounded person, to the rare elite athlete... they have you covered. The facility is very nice, and other than keeping one of their two entry doors locked all the time (making getting in and out difficult at class change when the lobby is crowded), its great for the kids and parents as well. Cons: Office is needs some help. It looks like they manage that huge place using binders with pencil and paper. It explains why things fall through the cracks on occasion. Make sure to follow up on any communication you have. My biggest issue is the parking; it is atrocious and dangerous. Its very dark and folks have to park on both sides of the street way up and down the surrounding roads. Very unsafe with kids crossing the road between parked cars while cars attempt to squeeze between the space left in the middle. I hope am wrong in my fear that it is just a matter of time before someone gets hit. In my opinion it should be a code violation to have a building with that capacity and so few parking spaces. Hopefully they can invest in the numerous surrounding vacant lots and put in proper parking facilities to go with the beautiful gym.

Not a totally bad experience until today. When Judy from the gymnastics office calls me after two months since my daughter finished the school year to tell me I was behind on my payments. Mind you before going to summer break, I had told them that my daughter was going to be out of state for the summer. They let me know that I was going to have to register again for the upcoming school year and didnt ask me to put it in writing. When I told her (Judy) this, she let me know that "everyone" knew about their policy...so I told her (very mad) that I would pay as soon as possible and I hung up the phone. A few minutes later I had to call back, cause it is just not fair that I have to pay, since I had already told them she wasnt going to be there for the summer, and they had NEVER before today communicated with me. So I let Judy know that I was not going to pay absolutely nothing...that is where she hung up the phone at me...and now I am letting you know....They are disorganized and RUDE!

My daughter loves this place! We tried out a couple of other facilities in the area and my daughter did not want to do back. We both love the teaching methods. They let the kids enjoy themselves but also keep them in line as if they were in school to not disturb the kids that were more focused. The ladies in the office are very friendly and always greet us with a smile. I do not seem to have a problem with parking but then again it may be her class time. The only complaint I do have is that I wish there were a couple more options for later classes in the week. My daughter does not leave school until 4pm and I work until 5pm so there is no way we can go for a 4:30 or 5:30 class time.

Very happy here. Yes - they teach top-quality gymnastics. They do this by having coaches who foster an environment that makes the athletes want to work to achieve their goals. They also teach about teamwork, the importance of training, and following directions. All very important lessons for gymnastics, and for life. They have instilled confidence in our daughter to be able to perform in front of spectators and judges - something that she would not have been able to do before.

My daughter Sky has been at LWR gymnastics for about 6 weeks now and after trying many activities she has finally found her niche. She loves it there and they are just fantastic!!! She has been to Summer camp there and loved every minute of it Coach Madison was amazing as well as everything else. If you are thinking of sending your child to gymnastics send them here. 5 stars!!!

They are wonderful. My grand daughter loves it. Everyone is so nice its hard to get away sometimes. Maybe they will add a 24/7 schedule. :) Great people all around. Coach Andy has impressed me with how he works with these future Olympians/Gold Metal winners. Its amazing!!!
