Grand Rapids Gymnastics

"GRG has birthday parties down to a science. They did such an amazing job, would recommend to anyone."

"Update: added the fifth star based on SUPER FAST and understanding owner response. Just another reason to love this place! I've only ever been here for the free baby gym on Mondays, so I can only speak to the staff and facility that exist in those times and spaces. First off, let me just say that the free open gym for babies has been AMAZING for my kiddo's mobility development and my sanity. What an amazing resource for our community and every staff member I've spoken to there (albeit briefly and really only ever pleasantries) has been very kind and they actually seem to adore the children in the facility (something that can be rare in certain areas where children are present). The facility itself: There's a wide variety of equipment that simultaneously appears well-loved and well-maintained. The entire place is incredibly clean. From the front entry to the bathroom to the gymnasium itself, I've never been grossed out or suspicious about anything I've seen here. They also have vending machines (that take cards!) on site which has been an absolute life saver for me in the past when kiddo was hungry and I'd forgotten a snack. Baby time: I wish this was done more often or had additional time slots, but I understand that doing something for free takes time out of programs that could actually make the place money, so I understand why. On top of the gymnastics equipment that already exists in the gym full time, staff also brings out kid-oriented things like small slides, rockers, egg shakers, scarves, tunnels, etc. It's a full experience, they really go all out for these kids. So why 4 stars? The music. 90% of it is great! But that remaining 10% which always catches me off guard is Christian worship music, just sung by children's choirs so that it blends in with the other songs. It's not a Christian organization (as far as I'm aware), and the kids obviously aren't old enough to understand but it absolutely makes me feel "othered". I want to be clear, not a single staff member has ever pushed religion onto me and I've not witnessed it happening to anyone else. There's no signs or art about religion. This is just about the few songs that pop up. It's not a reason to boycott or avoid, but just something that staff could potentially alter to help out their anxious and diverse clientele. Overall, it seems like a great facility. We're coming up on the end of the age range for baby time and we may even continue with their 18m classes if there's room."

"Could not recommend GRG more -- we went here for my Bachelorette party and had the BEST time. Tammy was so great both in communication leading up to the event, and in wrangling our group the day of. Her high school assistant was also a testament to how well trained their gymnasts are. For adults looking for a fun activity, this is the place to go :)"

"Our son attends Ninja Monkeys so we decided to have his 6th birthday party here. What an amazing experience. Truly unforgettable. What a gem they have in Ms Tammy! I cannot tell you how amazing she was with our guests ages 2-6. They all had such a blast. Parents couldn’t stop smiling. The value is incredible, decorations, party favors, and experienced staff member who runs it all. Ms Tammy made our birthday boy feel so special, she even built him a Mario Castle to open his presents on. Thank you so much!!"

"We had a birthday party at GR Gymnastics, and I was thrilled with the experience. Ms Tammy was wonderful to work with, and extremely accommodating to our huge group. Not only was she great through the planning process, this woman can own a room! The way she effortlessly corrals a group our size with grace and ease shows what a true professional she is. If you’re planning a birthday for a child who has a hard time pairing down their guest list, then this is definitely a great venue to consider. Best overall value I found in the area, and so much open room for play! We’ve also enjoyed their open gym and summer camp programs. All of the staff is great. I can’t wait to get my kids in their ninja classes! The times they offer are very accommodating for working parents."
