Review №1

My daughter has been at Alpha gymnastics for for almost 6 years. We started in the parent and tot class when she was 2 and she immediately loved it. She has had several coaches over the years that have all taught her something special. We have grown to love everybody at Alpha Gymnastics. There’s always good communication, friendly staff, and my daughter is always learning new skills. Alpha is an amazing place to start gymnastics and always room to grow!!!

Our daughter is in her eighth year at Alpha, and it was the best decision we could’ve made when choosing a gym. They’ve always kept her best interest in mind while coaching her in a safe, positive, and encouraging environment. We feel confident in knowing that she’s in the best hands and love watching her grow as a gymnast!!

If your looking for an unfriendly anti disabilities place for gymnastics this is the place for you! If your not looking for that I’d like to share my experience. My daughter 2 1/2 is severely developmentally delayed. Her PT recommend gymnastics to encourage her to walk. We signed up for the mommy and me class. My first impression wasn’t good. We weren’t greeted, didn’t know where to go. I was overwhelmed by the parents congregating everywhere especially during a pandemic. A few parents weren’t wearing masks. I was shocked about the sceneunfolding as their online policies seemed very strict about sanitation and safely. The instructors weren’t wearing masks either. I finally asked a girl where we were supposed to go and she wasn’t sure. She and another instructor then disagreed about who was taking which children for classes. Finally they got started and I felt the expectations of a class who’s starting age is 18 months was a bit unrealistic, not fun for my toddler, and not developmentally delayed friendly. The instructor rolled her eyes at us a few times and seemed like she didn’t want to be there at all. I spoke to a different girl addressed my concerns. She assured me they could work with her and make us comfortable and that if the instructor knows prior to the night of class a child is in the class with needs they can make accommodations. I signed up with hopes for fairness for disabilities and deeply regret it. As the night went on I was more bothered about the course of events and was feeling uneasy. I contacted Karis after sign up about my concerns regarding my child’s special needs and issues even asked about paying for a private evaluation. She said she was out of town and would be there next week and that they would make it an amazing experience for us.I expected things to go a lot better but they didn’t. Next week came. Still unmasked staff and parents. I guess you can’t enforce it if you aren’t doing it yourself. I noticed another new parent not greeted standing their awkwardly for several minutes finally asked where their child was supposed to go and they were exposed to the same unsure discussion among the staff while they just stood there. Eventually classes began and one instructor said the other new student could just come in her group. Our group began and even tho they knew a week in advance my daughter was returning, the class style didn’t adapt to her needs and felt like we were just their floundering with a young instructor who has an eye rolling problem. Very unorganized and unfriendly for ages 4 and under. The other age groups seem to be more of a focus which is understandable bc those kids are old enough to compete and take it more seriously but those of us paying for a fun opportunity for young kids just to get them exposed to something new it’s not clearly not met with the same amount of effort and professionalism. After talking to our PT she said if it’s miserable we shouldn’t continue. Upon leaving that conversation I contacted the studio to let them know we wouldn’t be retuning and hoped to explain why. I called and had to leave a voicemail. I was texted back within seconds which wasn’t what I expected but was asked if I wanted to explore private lessons and that they have an occupational therapist on staff if we change our mind. I thought to myself where was that last week when you knew we were coming? No one, after talking to 4 different people who work there, mentioned they have a therapist there until today. I never got a response about private opportunities when I asked 2 weeks ago about them. I never met Karis in person. I don’t think new students are more than incoming money and maybe eventually you might be a blimp on the radar or worthy of getting a proper introduction. Super disappointed that kids with disabilities are not accommodated. Also, they don’t do partial refunds if your disabled child isn’t a good fit to continue the classes.Nice large facility is the best thing I can say.

We traveled to this meet today from over 2hrs away for my daughter. She had a wonderful time at the meet. She loved the awards that were given out and getting to dress up in a team costume since it was the zoo review! There were so many cute leos for sale I bought one for her & one to take home for my optional level gymnast. I also loved how the photographer got some great shots of my daughter and the pictures were very affordable. Thanks so much for hosting this meet!

Alpha Gymnastics owner and coaches focus totally on providing a fun, safe, and learning experience for each child enrolled. This sport is not only about being able to master the skills, but learning about discipline needed to succeed in gymnastics and in life. I am a public school teacher and have seen how this sport instills in children a love for competition, determination, loyalty, and teamwork. I have also been a parent of a gymnast. I have watched my child develop an instant love for this sport which involved a lot of hard work, sweat, and yes.....sometimes tears! Gymnastics is not for every child but Alpha Gymnastics will offer equal time and opportunity to every child who wants to try the sport!

Awesome place! AMAZING COACHES! Super clean & organized facility! Team kids and recreation kids have thrived and become confident, super awesome athletes! The coaches as well as the owners have worked not only with the kids but the parents as well. The team has a solid, cohesive structure with a price to pay as we (parents) all accept that. The cost structure is part of the sport and understandably the parents know thats what it takes to run the business. The cost of any program being ran at Alpha is very near the same market price as all the other gymnastic clubs in the area. What sets Alpha Gymnastics a part from the other clubs and their costs is the heart, dedication and devotion of the owner/coaches and their gymnasts!

My daughter has attended Alpha a year now and she has acquired and mastered so many new skills so quickly it is amazing. Her coaches have always given her great instruction and a lot of her time. I trust my child with them and would highly recommend them.

My daughters have been going to Alpha for a little over a year and a half now. They have moved up from recreational gymnastics to team and have made great strides in their abilities with the required skills as well as physical fitness.When we first started going there we had no idea what we were getting into in terms of what competition gymnastics was going to cost. After some research into pricing and what the average cost was we realized that gymnastics was going to take a lot of time, dedication, and some extra expenses due to travel and what not.My daughters are more than just gymnasts and teammates. All the girls are like family and the smaller ratio of coach to gymnast provides for an outstanding environment for the gymnasts to get the extra attention they need. This was extremely apparent when another gymnast who left for another local gym with larger gymnast to coach ratio was scoring lower at the state meet, when she was a full point higher score wise when she was still at Alpha.Overall for me the training my daughters receive has paid dividends and even if its a minor difference in cost I am more that willing to look past that due to the level of interaction and instruction provided by Karis and her team of coaches.

Love this gym. Great personal attention for our daughter. They are professional and passionate about our girls. They are extremely knowledgable about gymnastics, but more importantly they really care for our daugters. I highly recommend this gym!

My girls have been going to alpha now for the past 2 years. They started in rec classes and moved onto team. Both competed level 3 last year, this year one is level 3 and the other is level 4. The staff is amazing! Their coach and owner is the best! She does what she can for each family who is part of alpha. For the price we pay and quality of coaching nothing beats this place. Wether your looking for comepetitive gymnastics, recreational gymnastics or tumbling, cheer or fitness classes.
