Great Lakes Gymnastics

"We sent boys for a few months. They had fun, but it wasn’t worth the money. Many of the coaches are nice and hard working. Several seem to lack much desire to help out. It did feel like the little girls got more time and attention from many of the coaches. Most just sent my boy off to “play” and didn’t bother to give clear instructions or feedback. I’m glad he had fun. But I wanted him to learn body awareness and coordination. I also regularly saw coaches just staring at their phones instead of giving the kids attention. It wasn’t often in our kids classes, but I saw it all the time with the other classes going on at the same time. I once watch 6/10 coaches in the gym all on their phones at the same time. You’ll probably have a better experience if you’re sending your girls. If you have boys, I’d go elsewhere."

"We have had my daughter enrolled in some form of gymnastics since she was 5yrs old. She didn't like Avon Dance & Karate (sic), didn't like Top Gun, but she absolutely LOVES this place. She looks forward to it every week."

"I have gone to GLG for almost 4 years and they are so nice there i'm on the gold team and the couches are fun they joke with you but some couches take things to seriously and some of the couches yell at you when you talk a little while conditioning but that's the only thing but other wise I love it there. And they are so safe there they are so good at spotting you and would never let you get hurt."

"Good staff, working with our children under these circumstances. My son loved it, and we will most likely be back for the season. Depending on what sissy wants, I may have both of them enrolled. They are already in a very fine dance establishment, but it is their choice."

"I have been going to Great Lakes gymnastics for 5 years now and it's fun and all, but lately conditioning has been getting very overwhelming and stressful. I know that they push us to be the best gymnast we can but one night after practice I went home and when I got home I literally felt like I was going to puke I couldn't feel any part of my body everything was just num, and my head was pounding. Don't get me wrong all of the staff and coaches are really nice but when you accidentally mess up on something that you've never messed up on before or forgot to do something you'll get screamed/yelled at by some of the coaches. And I'm not trying to be mean at all to the coaches & staff. There are just a few things you guys could work on doing, try to be more relaxed with the gymnasts, and if something goes wrong please don't yell at the gymnasts, tell them to come over where you are and talk to them and just tell them to try to not do it again. Try to give us more motivation. if you put your daughter on senior team for gymnastics your daughter might get a bit overwhelmed and stressed out."
