Gymnastic Academy of Boston 95 Vanderbilt Avenue, Norwood, MA 02062

"We'd had a few decent events at GAB, but when our 7-year-old took a class there, their true colors showed. In the interest of brevity, here are the lowlights: 1. They put her in a class with four more experienced girls, all of whom knew each other - and the "coach" subsequently ignored those girls making fun of our daughter for not knowing as much. 2. When we brought this to the manager's (Keri) attention, they validated our concerns: "Both the coach and I had to stop the class and talk to them about their behavior several times." But their suggested solution was to move our daughter out of the class instead of continuing to make the other children improve their behavior. When I mentioned a partial refund, she couldn't get off the phone quickly enough. 3. We followed up about this numerous times, and after speaking to us twice, Keri stopped returning our calls. Eventually, we had leave work to visit the business in-person - only to be told that it would be best if they gave us a refund for the remainder of the class (but NOT the poor first few classes) and that she stopped attending. It is very clear that GAB is more interested in money than in helping build kids' confidence and manners. We won't be sending any more business their way, and advise others to stay away."

"5 star gymnastics academy. My 4 year old loves going to class, she’s a little small for her age so at first I was worried. In a little over a month I can’t believe the progress she’s made, she’s stronger, more balanced, agile, can pull her self up, support her weight on her arms, almost doing a flip. The instructors on Sunday morning are wonderful and patient, great with young children. The classes are professional, full of developmental drills, and the results show it. Hoping to register my daughter 2 days a week when we get a Tuesday availability."

"My daughter has gone there for two years now and loves it! Miss Jenni has been her instructor and we could not be happier with her. She is great with the kids and my daughter loves her. She is there during some open gym times as well and we love to go visit. All of my kids absolutely love the summer camp too. I love that they can swim there so they are getting some indoor and outdoor time. We look forward to many years of gymnastics here!!"

"Started with their 2017 summer camp 1/2 day for my 3yo. She loved the organized gymnastics and outdoor pool. Their flexible scheduling for summer camp is got us started, she was able to go one day a week for the entire summer. Kept her enrolled in gymnastics classes throughout the school year. The only downfall has been “open gym”. We love staying to play for open gym times with our friends, or coming in for open gyms during school breaks/snow days. Also, had a 4th birthday party there, the instructors did a great job keeping all the kids playing safely in the gymnastics obstacle course. They also have a bounce house in the main gym that setup for birthdays, and the price was comparable to other activity parties."

"Great place for young kids and super fun for birthday parties! Not the most growth for my daughter who has been coming here for a few years. She hasn't received much attention in the class. It seems the instructors are more interested in working with the kids who easily learn. The children that are very interested but slow to learn and/or quiet are can be overlooked by the instructors. That being said...my daughter loves it here! (But I suspect that's because she sets her own pace and isn't pushed to improve)"
