I havent been to this gum, but from what Ive seen, the girls are very nice, they are trained to high levels, and the coaches seem good, as girls have left their previous gyms because their coaches have moved there. I have had stories of girls being lured into competetive teams without parental permission, but there are definitely done fake stories. The team do not travel to Kentucky for flash meet ups, as one reviewer has made out. At this point, only three of the level seven girls went to Kentucky by choice, for a meet. They also happened to have a meet up there. It seems that everyone is suddenly in level 7 recently too, which is the level of some girls who are YouTube famous. Reviews have mentioned all of these girls nicknames (not their actual names, pretty much proving they are probably little kids hating on the older girls because they are jealous, and arent actually using basic grammar such as capital letters) and happen to be experiencing horrible things because of these girls. Surely if this was to happen the girls would be kicked out of the gym. There is a gymscool series on youtube too, which may require you to say no for your child being filmed if you dont want them to. The best way for you to find out if this is the right gym for you, is to try it out yourself. If it works for you, stay there, if it doesnt, try out another :) hope you find the right gym for you. P.S: bad reviews never came up until one of the main YouTube channels stopped blurring out the name of the gym :)

My daughter Jessica who is 8 used to go to this gym. Now, they were very good at start and my daughter is a level 7 and was taught by coach Mary. Firstly, they lured my daughter into doing competitive gymnastics, which we cant afford, especially when her team travel to places like Kentucky for flash meet ups and things like that. Secondly, this coach Mary has a YouTube channel called gymscool. I didnt find out about it until Jessica told me. I asked the coach if she could not film my daughter and the coach replied with a rather snappy tone of voice. Thirdly, her teammates are rather mean to her. These girls called Annie and Katie kept being mean to her and hiding things and when she asked why they said she was trying to replace some girl called Liv. When she told coach Mary she did NOTHING about the issue. Favouritism much? And Lastly, my daughter had a mental block on her vault and the coach just YELLED at her! Hasnt darling little coach Mary had a mental block before? Probably. And the yelling made the mental block about 10x worse! The only reason why I am giving it 2 stars is because of a really lovely girl called Hayley who always stuck up for my daughter, even if it meant getting yelled at herself. Also, her brother caleb recently passed away, so we are praying for Hayley every night. We are now going to try hills gymnastics as it is the best gym in Maryland and my friends have said good things about it. I just hope this Liv girl doesnt train there.

I moved from NJ to Maryland and I happen to live very close to this gym so I decided to go there! Im a level 7 gymnast, training level 8, but Im not homeschooled. Some girls at practice who look 10-12 years old or older are sort of stuck up and snobby. They watch me and if I mess up on a skill, then theyll immediately start whispering and sometimes laugh at me! The coaches are really nice though, so thats why I gave this gym a 3. I think that the snobby girls are around level 7-8 and theyre on the homeschool team. Some of them seem nice though.. Theres this girl who has curly brownish hair and tan skin who seems sort of quiet. Shes pretty good and super nice. I think her name starts with an A or something but I really like her. But other than that, I love this gym and its pretty fun!

My sisters daughter goes to this gym. We only just moved here and my daughter (whos 8) did gymnastics in California. Ive asked my sister hows this gym because my daughter wants to continue gymnastics forever and my sister said that her daughter gets yelled out from a mental block on her vault & they lured her to the competitive team without permission, and my sister said that they film her daughter for a YouTube videos my sister spoke to the coach about 6 times and still films her daughter. Thats why I give it 3 stars at the moment and were gonna try this gym in a few days Ill give it more stars if my daughter enjoys it. If she doesnt well switch gyms because this gym might be too negative.

This gym trains girls to be wonderful and skilled gymnasts winning medals left and right, but I went to open gym and the people who work there do not work with kids in a professional matter and have trouble controlling them in an appropriate way. Also, some of the gymnasts are rude and I felt insecure doing skills and messing up. I do think favorites are being played especially when it come to who is the best even though we all are trying to be the best and some of us like me need some extra help. This breastfeeding matter I also am against because of the way the situation was handled. The accomplishments of the gym are plentiful, but some things are not handled in a professional matter.

I Bloody Love Newt

1st Class Gymnastics, Is one of the best gyms!. The coaches are very professional and they really help out all gymnasts training there .If you live around this area,and if you are looking for a gym, I suggest that you go to this gym. The Gym has so much equipment and lots of stuff to help the girls train! I would rate this gym a 100 if i could, but it only goes to 5. So heres a big shiny 5! Parents!, Sign your child up for this gym!!! P.S, all the other reviews about Annie,Katie,Hayley and Liv, are ALL LIES!!! people are just creating FAKE reviews and claiming drama with the girls. Annie and Katie are so nice. They even help out in the gym. So people need to STOP lying!!!

My sisters daughter used to go to this gym. She loved going there and training hard but was my sister decided to move as some of the coaches treat my niece a bit too harsh. I wont name them but my niece struggles with Mental Blocks sometimes in her gymnastics and it frustrates her a lot so to than be yelled at by a coach to get over it while having a mental block on floor really didnt go down to well. Some of the girls were also a bit rude but than that this gym had great equipment and my niece had a lot of fun there. (while she wasnt getting yelled at)

we first came to this gum with a recommendation of my cousin who has a daughter on the competitive team for level 8. she said everyone was super nice and that there was no drama. my daughter had been doing tumble before and was pretty good if I would say so. she started classes and the coaches were nice and supportive. but they lured her into the competitive team without asking my permission! she is now level 6. some of the girls "joke around" but my daughter does not find it very funny. they hide things and call names and the coaches dont seem to care.
