Flips Gymnastics,

975 West Jericho Turnpike, Smithtown, NY 11787

"My two daughters have been going to Flips for the past five years and it is the BEST gym out there! The instructors and facility is phenomenal and my girls look forward to going every week. They have had multiple birthday parties there and they are always so much fun. I recommend it to all children and teens looking to participate in gymnastics!"

"So happy my friend told me about this gymnastics place! They have a fun mommy and me class for toddlers, my daughter enjoys it, they do many fun rotations, the price is very reasonable and they’re very friendly!"

"We had our daughter's 8th birthday at Flips. It was AMAZING! The girls were doing fun activities the whole time including zipline, rock wall climbing, trampoline, a gymnastics circuit, and fun games with the advanced gymnasts who host the party. Then they had pizza and huge cupcakes that were included. They had so much fun and everyone is still talking about the fun weeks later! I will likely do a party for my younger daughter there because it was such a hit! We loved it so much we started classes at Flips too!"

"My daughter has been coming here for many years. She progressed from open gym to pre-team to Team and is now one of the bronze level girls on team. The staff and coaches here have nothing but your child's best interest in mind and the kids are constantly being coached. The low star reviewer below admits her child learned things and was introduced to multiple apparatus. Sounds like a pretty fulfilling gym session for a new student that's being evaluated. Seems to me like the child was going to regular open gym sessions and this parent and child do not understand the progression of gymnastics and had an unrealistic expectation as to what their child would be able to do after a few classes. Your child will not go from basic matt tumbling to team level uneven bar and floor routines in a matter of a few classes. you are asking for your child to do things they cannot handle. This gym has been nothing but professional and caring toward the kids enrolled. None of the children are pressured by the coaches (except to do their best) the only pressure I've seen in this gym have been from parents who expect their children to be Olympic level after their first mommy and me class, they usually don't stay in the sport thankfully. If you want to see how this gymnastics school operates ask for a tour and to sit in to watch the actual team girls. You will then see where your child will be after working hard over time."

"At Flips Gymnastics you pay for and get a "5 Stars" organized physically active play date. Parents wait in a very clean, bright and fragrant area from where they can view their child(ren). My daughter went to this location and was disappointed with it very much. For starters the teenage "coaches" talked and payed no attention to the class during warm up stretching. In her class, Girls Rec, the students were obviously not interested in learning the sport as much as they were being unfocused and immaturely disruptive. The coach was aware of such behavior and did nothing to redirect the girls attention and interest in gymnastics. For the weeks she attended her group never did floor work. It's a two stars rating because of the lack of commitment from the coaches. Although she got her first experience with the bars and vault and learned some skills for the beam, it wasn't enough to keep her interest in continuing to attend Flips. She now attends another local gymnastics center and the coaches actually pay attention to the class and teach the "how to" of gymnastics. My daughter enjoys these lessons and I think the money is better spent. However, I will be on the lookout for idle coaching there as well."
