Pride Gymnastics Academy

"I love Pride mainly because their coaches are so awesome. I feel ok about sending my son to the classes. We’ve tested other classes out at other places and the coaches can be so scary and unwelcoming. My son never wants to go back but with pride he loves going to class. Also he has gotten so much stronger. I hope he continues to love gymnastics and keeps at it!!"

"i had been going here for 3 years, but part of the problem was the coaches: some were great, some were the reason i quit. i was never allowed to quit gymnastics (no, i am not blaming this on the gym AT ALL) but i was moved up to higher levels all the time, (i quit at 8 years old) and i was a level 6, the coaches moved me up for the money, they would never let me be comfortable at the level i was at and the coaches called me things like "big head" and they would always call us a family, but it was NOT. i frequently think about how much i hated it there, i was always competing againsed people as old as me, and we were conditioned for the 4 hours we had to practice, leading to so many injuries and so much crying, we were so young, yet the coaches didnt care, if we came to practice with an injury, we would have to work through the pain reguardless, i was told gymnastics was "fun" but pride gymnastics was not that at all."

"I’ve had 4 kids here in 4 different programs and age groups. It’s been a great experience. The front desk has been very accommodating with missed classes and make up classes. We love the clinics and open gym time."

"We tried it on a Wednesday night. They were rude to us at the sign-in table, told us we'd already tried it. Uh, no we didn't. Felt like we were being called liars. We weren't trying to score a free trial for crying out loud, so they need to fix their computers, and there was no reason to treat us like we were being dishonest. They allowed us in. Our 6yo went back in a rushed group of many. She was among several ages of others, we didn't expect that. She was completely overwhelmed by the situation for a first time in the place. It was completely impersonal! They went through a list of names and didn't call hers, so she thought she was in the wrong place and left. No adult stopped her to ask what was wrong. I question their ability to properly supervise the Littles, there's no semblance of security or locked doors It did not go well, and she came out upset and we just chose to leave after 10 mins. Got some slant eyes from the lady who was rude to us. Our daughter had been excited to go to gymnastics for months. So, we finally go to try it out. She was so excited when she went back and then for it to go so poorly with them was a huge disappointment in how they handled the very large group. All they were doing for most of it was stretching for ten minutes. It's only an hour trial. We saw enough in a short while! This family is going elsewhere. So, now we have found a nicer place and they were so friendly and welcoming. I suggest for Pride to limit the size of the sessions and also separate the age groups and/or skill levels in some way. Welcome each kid with a personal touch. Best of luck! I'm sure it's great for the some of the elites, as I've read from the other reviews. IMHO, Pride appear to be trying to just funnel as many people in & out so they can cherry pic what they percieve as the talented or having actual potential. Our 6 yo didn't stand a chance in this situation as it's setup."

"My daughter loves coming here! Coach Colten is amazing with her. She has really come out of her shell since coming here and working with coach Colten! I highly recommend!"
