Airborne Athletics 212 Riverside Court, Greer, SC 29650

"Great place, my son loved it."

"my kids have attended this place for years. The coaches and staff know gymnastics and easily adapt to help all skill levels."

"The instructors are passionate about helping the students. They separate them into groups in a structured manner so each gymnast gets personal attention. I have had nothing but great experiences here. My daughter loves it!"

"This place is large, clean, and has good equipment. There is seating inside for friends and family. It has classes for kids starting age 3 and up. There are numerous options to choose from for days/times. There is plenty of free parking on site. As with any place that has lots of instructors, some are better than others. However, overall they are very good and my daughter loves going to her class every week. Prices are reasonable. It can be a bit tricky to find as it is located at the end of a side street."

"Let me explain. We left Airborne after 4 years there. We left because of the quality of coaching with the older children. We loved out morning classes and the morning coaches. The never took their eyes off the little ones. Fast forward to being on their recreational team and doing some of the older classes. Class numbers are huge, many of the coaches can be seen talking instead of paying attention to the students and spotting. And I have seen several situations even with the owner, where the coaches do not speak clearly or politely to students and really neglect some basic safety. I have watched my daughter lose her confidence in being able to try new things as well as her self esteem. She had left the gym more than once and just was really down on her self. It started to become a regular occurrence! To see if this was a problem with my daughter vs the gym, we have waited a semester to post our review. Tried other gyms and I can tell you, that this is not the norm at most gyms. My daughter has bounced back and in her words "At Airborne, I did not trust the coaches, because they were not always spotting me when they were supposed to, and I was afraid I would get hurt. I could not trust them to help me with new things. At [new gym] all of the coaches are watching and spotting, and we do not do something on our own until they say we can, so I trust them because they keep me safe. I like doing the harder skills that challenge me when I know I can be safe.""
