Arizona Dynamics Gymnastics

"The ownership at this gym is nothing short of a nightmare. The coaches take their lead from the owner and clearly no value placed on children. Its all about the dollar. Parents are told there is an open door but there is nothing like that here. Kids are held back, no progress can be seen for kids for long periods of time, they purposefully enter meets that their kids with their very easy routines will win. Makes the kids feel like that's normal til they get to state and see what the other kids at their level are doing. They have too many kids to push forward so they keep everything simple so the coaches don't have to do much. Kids get discouraged. My step daughter did! Then when they change gyms they see what real coaching, real support and real progress feels like. If your child has any desire to compete this is not the place. This is common industry knowledge apparently as all other gyms we spoke to said this is the norm. They are known to hold back moving kids up in levels to ensure the kid gets good scores. Everyone is a valedictorian in high school if the tests they give are from 2nd grade. Easy to get straight A's. Same idea here. They can all do well if they do elementary level skills. They do the very minimum requirements for level and this is obvious at state and national events. Avoid this place if you are wanting your kids to have a positive experience."

"There are better options out there. The coaches are not concerned with the children it's clear they aren't interested in making this a fun environment for kids. They run it as a gymnastics mill, too many kids and no attention to the kids mental state. The kids skills are held back and it shows at meets. Very little progression due to the lack of attention to the kids. Teaching kids to ace old skills while the other teams are allowing other kids to progress according to their abilities. No smiles anywhere. Lots of tears. If you want your kid to have no joy this would be an OK place. But if you want to have a positive experience look elsewhere. Not every kid is going to be Olympic material for sure, but a sport needs to be fun. Oh and no teamwork and comraderie is taught. 6 year Olds bullying other 6 year Olds, no cheering on team mates. Very discouraging environment. Moved my kid to another gym."

"Make sure to review the make up policy when scheduling make up classes. Claire will do absolutely nothing to accommodate you whatsoever whether you’ve been a loyal customer or not. Lacking customer service tremendously."

"My kid has been in gym for 6 months. She has had a different coach almost every week. She needs one skill to move to the next level ,but gets zero consistent coaching so she has been in the same class. I repeat zero consistency , poor coaching - this gym just wants your money. Switching to a new gym in September"

"My daughter loves attending gymnastics at this facility! I enrolled her here after doing some research and reading through tons of reviews and am happy to say that we have been beyond satisfied with the time she has spent here so far. She has been learning so much in the few classes that she has attended so far and we look forward to seeing what else she will learn as she continues her time here ."
