Academy West

"iwent there a lot as a kid. i did MANY things there. preschool, gymnastics, tumbling, jazz, ballet, tap, hip hop, jazz, almost everything they have, honestly. I had my fair share of good instructors - but unfortunately most of them were bad. My preschool teacher was amazing, but everything past that was horrible. Nice people, maybe, but terrible at instructing. It was so, so physically demanding that it was ridiculous! they used to push me down really hard during stretches. A big problem with academy west dance/gymnastics teachers are they NEED you to be super flexible. If you are not super flexible, they are going to push. and push you HARD. oh, and don't forget, they'll make sure you get less parts in dances and routines BECAUSE you are not very flexible. Do better! especially to the kids who have disabilities."

"Totally under-rated gymnastics academy. Great price and the most friendly instructors, and their communication with parents is unparalleled! My daughters learned so much and felt included. My oldest is very shy and was scared at first, but the amazing instructors helped her feel at ease around the other kids in her class, and she even made friends! I love that the classes are based on skill level rather than solely on age so they can progress more smoothly and actually learn in a more progressive minded way. We had to cancel when we moved away, but compared to other more predatory gymnastics academies, it was a painless process. I still recommend this place to anyone in the area looking to get their children into gymnastics. If we ever end up moving back, I will definitely be bringing my daughters here again!"

"One of my friends invited me to this Academy she brings both her daughters here and she loves it I come to the work out clases that they offer and they go month by month honestly the BEST workouts I’ve ever done the coaches are seriously so sweet and super supportive, I have seen such a big difference in my body and noticed how much stronger I am getting I have told all my friends about the workout classes they offer and will continue to do so I can’t wait until I could enroll my daughter here! I know she’ll love it just as much as I do Definitely recommend this place"

"This is a long story but so worth the read! We absolutely LOVE Academy West! What they have done for our daughter I can hardly put into words. We were with another gym for 7 years and after the last year we needed out urgently. My daughter is 13 and we decided to walk away from the other gym. After months of mentally breaking down my daughter (and other gymnasts) we couldn’t do it anymore. We walked out 2 weeks before the state meet. The previous gym offered zero solutions or help, wouldn’t let my daughter finish out the season. We found Academy West from one of our meets with them, their girls were cheering for my daughters old team and their support for girls they didn’t even know was inspiring! We called Academy West knowing my daughter likely wouldn’t go to state, we were wrong! Academy West took her in, gave her private dance lessons, taught her a new beam routine, and an entirely NEW floor routine in 2 weeks! My daughters love for gymnastics is back, her passion and self confidence has returned as well! I truly didn’t think we could turn her around after the damage from the previous gym, but we’re headed to state confident that she will excel! As long as we live in Utah, we will be at Academy West!"

"I've worked with Academy West for over 4 years now and also worked with Courtney (their optionals coach) for many years before. They have been so positive and amazing. I can't say enough great things about everyone that works there. They are organized, great with the kids, personable and so friendly. I've always felt like this gym was my home away from home and see how happy the kids are."
