Advanced Gymnastics 16161 North 20th Street, Nampa, ID 83687

"We used to love coming here however my daughter quickly became bored with the repetitive activities. We made the decision to pull her because her instructor, Lily, left my child in tears. In the dynamite class they give stamps at the end of class basically for showing up. However her instructor singled her out and denied her a stamp without explanation. My husband called and asked for an explanation because she had been participating and showing improvement. The instructor became defensive alleging that she was endangering herself and misbehaving, which contradicted our observations. She also added that my child allegedly got back onto the equipment when everyone was done. However, that is also false since she had left because of the incident. It's disappointing they singled out our child instead of addressing the issue fairly. We hope they can improve for other kids' sake."

"My daughter absolutely loves going to classes here! Her coach is so kind and takes her time with the girls. I am extremely impressed by the whole staff!"

"Here's the thing...it's "fine". It's safe. It's clean. It's big enough. The team program seems solid. If you are looking for beginning levels, or recreational gymnastics, I'd look elsewhere. I say this with kindness, honestly, as we haven't had a "bad" experience...but it's seriously lacking in professional development. I coached all through high school and college, so I definitely don't have a problem with young coaches, but these coaches don't really...coach. Over a year of classes and my daughters cartwheels look the same. She doesn't know basic body positions. She's had probably 7 coaches in a one year span. There's VERY little hands on instruction, and only marginally more verbal. I don't believe anyone outside of the team coaches are USAG certified, and it doesn't seem like they're given any direction beyond...you have an hour, go entertain these kids. I don't expect my daughter to be an olympian, and honestly with my years of experience as a gymnast and coach I can tell you this isn't going to be her "thing", but it would be nice to see SOME progression, or even skill knowledge increase. She's learned more from me in our living room than she has at this gym in the last year+. If it weren't for the VERY short commute, and lack of access to other facilities in the immediate area, we wouldn't hesitate to go elsewhere. I had high hopes when the ownership changed, but I haven't seen much improvement in the recreational arena."

"Tried for weeks to get private lessons set up after Skye said she was no longer going to be coaching, imagine my surprise to see her on their Facebook page as coach of the month for June. Even after being told that the price for lessons would be going up and I agreed to pay the increase they still never got back to me after weeks of me reaching out. Unprofessional liars. If you want your children to learn to have a complete lack of integrity, this is the place for you."
