My daughter has been taking tumbling classes here for more than 4 years and hasn’t been able to learn much. The classes are one hour and usually full with at least 10 kids, so she doesn’t get to do much in one hour. Open gym is $8 per session and it’s offered 2-3 times per week. They also charge you a yearly registration fee even if you have been a student there, so I’m not sure what the registration fee is for as they are very behind in technology, the place is dirty, and they try to save money by not turning the A/C on most days in the summer. I’m so glad I found a better and cheaper place for my daughter because she was able to get to level she wanted in only 3 months at the new place. This place it’s called The Gymnastics Shop and they offer free open gym twice a week for those enrolled in classes. Also, her current class is not full, only 5-6 kids so far so she’s been able to really improve. They don’t charge a registration fee either, so this place it’s great for tumbling. AAG might be good for gymnastics, but for tumbling they are not good at all. The Gymnastics Shop specializes in tumbling, so a lot of cheerleaders take classes there and I love that they offer free open gym and no yearly registrations. I wish I would have found this other place sooner as she wasted so many years at AAG.

Seek other gyms the staff and facility are a joke. We attended a family members birthday party today. Most of the staff was rude and obviously does not know how to handle young children for birthday party events. A male staffer was going through the rules of the gym and did not understand that 3-6 year olds full of cake and soda could not sit still and be quiet for the 10+ min of rules. When the kids started to squirm and talk he shouted at them that they could sit here as long as possible and it didnt matter to him. I also observed this individual go over to his cell phone and for what ever reason took his phone and smashed it on the ground, breaking it into little pieces all over the floor. Where little kids are running around with no shoes. It took everything inside of me to not say something. There was numerous equipment that I observed that I did not think was safe for the age group (3-6) and when my daughter wanted to try a balance beam, we were told to get off of the equipment... So why is it out in the middle of the gym during a birthday party event.... If you are looking for a birthday party event I would look else where, this place was a joke and a dump. I only gave 1 star because it wouldnt let me post with no stars. I will never return.

We loved the facility! It safe and clean, and fit for a great deal of fun! In fact my son had his birthday party there 3 years in a row, and each year was a great success! The party planner provides invitations, and options for your party. The American Academy of Gymnastics assigns 2 or three people to work with the children in the gym. It all depends upon your number of guests in attendance. You are also assigned a room before, or after the gym period to celebrate the birthday of the SPECIAL PERSON. You can have a cake, cupcakes ice cream w/ drinks....It is up to the HOST to prepare the room w/ decorations, table cloths, and food. Some people order pizza in addition to the cake and desserts. After having cake, you can open presents, or play a couple of games for the last 20 min. When the party is over, you are expected to clean up quickly for the next party. (This is quite simple when you use paper goods.) It works out quite well. Everyone has a great time running around in the gym, and then they enjoy the cake. Throwing a party @ the American Academy of Gymnastics is excellent, b/c it is easy, economical and effortless for the host, yet a great success!

My kid has been here for more than 9 months. She had a great time learning gymnastics which was really really interested to learn since she was 3yr old. But after the coach changed, things changed with her and lost interest. But if your kid likes playing in the play area with monkey bars, poles or makes somersaults n all that fun stuff, this is a good place to burn their energies in an organized way and learn while doing it..

Thy gym is dirty; I dont even want to think about whats in the foam pit since you can see how old the foam blocks are. Their two best coaches, Becca and Anne left, and we did, too. I agree with the other reviewer that its not understandable why you have to pay a gym fee for a 3 year olds class. As far as the birthday parties, I never got why the kids ate first and then played...shouldnt it be the other way around?

They could have name it as Stinky Sock Gymnastics..... very stinky smell. Absolutely no hygiene. Bathrooms are good though. Teachers are okay, they never give any progress report or even return calls when we ask about our kids progress. I left note twice now just waiting on the feedback and they never return calls or even talk right after the class.

It is dirty, messy and old. The coaches look bored, and are not interested how the kids do the exercises but class finish. My kids were there for two sessions, and I am not happy at all. It is wasting time and money. The best gymnastic studio is Rise up accademy in Arlington heights. Strongly recommended!

I know the place is not the cleanest, but the gymnastics program is unbeatable. If you want your kid to have a good future with gymnastics send them to AAG!
