This is my 5th year at Natural Venom and I couldn’t imagine calling anywhere else my home. The coaches don’t just treat you like athletes, they treat you like family. Natural Venom has provided me with a safe place to feel calm and safe. They push athletes to their greatest potentials and have always helped each athlete reach a new level of confidence. I would never be anywhere else and wouldn’t be to the point I’m at right now without natural venom!
My daughter has cheered here going on 3 seasons. The coaches are absolutely amazing. They push the kids to be their best but they show them how much they love them at the same time. I couldn’t imagine my daughter cheering anywhere else.
My daughter wasn’t on the team we just came in for the beginner classes so that she could be introduced to cheer. For the most part I believe that they tend to do and learn more if they are actually on the team. My daughter expressed that she felt she wasn’t learning anything and that one of the middle school or high school girls were teaching her and not an actually coach. I would not recommend this gym if you’re not going to be on the team. The single classes aren’t worth it.
Very impressed with how this gym is ran! It’s so professional and they have been nothing but welcoming. Everyone is so nice! Both my daughters love this place. Would recommend to anyone.
WOW, I wish I could rate this gym a zero star because I definitely would! If you are looking for a cheer gym where you can build friendships and be comfortable do not go to natural venom! Their athletes and coaches are cliquey and very unwelcoming. The program does not focus on improving athletes skill but rather just using people as pawns in routines. It is a completely negative atmosphere and all the gym cares about is making money. The coaches act like high school mean girls and the cheerleaders are gossipy and negative. I do NOT recommend investing time or money in this faciltiy.
For Starters, I am a Coach at Natural Venom & I will say that this gym IS HOME! We not only strive for success for our program but we GENUINELY care for each individual athlete that steps foot through our doors! We welcome anyone of all ages here. Our staff as a whole agree that the future of our athletes is what is most important so we teach them not only how to be an amazing cheerleader but how to be an amazing person as well! Valerie (owner) is probably one of the most caring and loving people I have ever met! COME JOIN THE VENOM ARMY!!!!
Love the program, the structure, the guidance and the opportunities that this organization provides for the children. As a first year cheer mom not knowing exactly what to expect, the parents, leadership from Coaches and the experienced athletes provide as much input and guidance to help you throughout the season. I may be lost in the sauce, but someone from NV is always there to provide support. This is an awesome program and I do encourage anyone with a child that’s interested to build their skill, a new hobby, or even join for the experience and to even teach responsibility, build character and discipline to sign up! It’s a very committed program that requires patience, time and money. No qualms, best investment for my family.
Always love coming here, I have learned so much from the coaches and even my teammates in my five years going to this gym. This gym has shaped me into the person I am today and wouldnt want to leave this family. My first year was tough as always because I was new, I didnt know many people and I wasnt very good. However my coaches have always helped me and encouraged me through everything. The coaches here are some of the nicest people Ive met. They dont just coach us, they make us feel like we belong and can do anything we put our minds to. They push us very hard so we can achieve our goals and always help us reach our goals. I have met every goal over had so far and am now working on improving my full and getting my standing full along with specialty level four skills. Many people have asked me if I have ever done gymnastics before going to this gym. I did not, everything Ive done, everything Ive learned, this team of coaches has taught me. The owner is one of the nicest people I have met and I always enjoy talking to her and being coached by her. The coaches here are also very welcoming and fun to be around. The athletes here are always there to help others, whether its tumbling tips, stunting tips, homework, stuff at home or stuff at school. the majority of my friends are from cheer.I dont think I could ever ask for a better cheer family.
This gym is a HORRIBLE place to take your kids. Buyer Beware ! Dont go there and definitely dont take your kids there. The owner Valerie is a terrible person. She will lie to your face and talk behind your back. She made all kinds of promises about costs, training and how positive of an environment this gym was. I can tell you that the environment is toxic and believe me when I say that it starts from the top. She will talk trash about parents, kids and other teams. She definitely plays favorites not only with the kids but with the parents. She will nickel and dime you to death so dont believe her when she tells you the costs. The kids have an over inflated perception of themselves because she encourages negative talk, negative behavior and she models this behavior daily. I can not tell you what a horrible influence she is. The only redeeming thing about this gym are the coaches. At least they care about the kids and the families. They arent always professional or appropriate in how they interact with the older kids but that is because they are only following the example set by their horrible owner. Stay away ! There are other gyms out there and worth the extra money. Dont fall for the lies and dont fall for her fake promises. Its sad that the gym is run by such a snake as there is a lot of talented kids there. We left mid season because we couldnt take the bullying, lying and favoritism that is an everyday occurrence there. So if you want your kids to be around an owner who has no heart, no morals and no soul then Natural Venom is for you. Otherwise, run away fast. Go to South Elite, Connect NW or Celebrity Cheer.
I love cheering here. They have taught me so much and it is so fun. You should cheer here!!!!
To Start off this is my first year at this gym. I came in not knowing what it takes to be an allstar cheerleader. Yes it takes time money effort and a lot of sweat and tears, but you know what that’s what it takes. The coaches push you hard so you can succeed. This gym is overall one big family. Our coaches want us to win just as much as we do. We want to win, we want to win summit or worlds just as badly as they do. I’ve never been part of a team that has pushed me to my best. I’ve learned more at this gym than I have at any other gym. I came in there with maybe a forward roll not know what I was doing and the coaches kept on motivating me until I reached my goal and even after they continue on keep pushing me to my best. I highly recommend coming to this gym if you wanna be part of a family and something amazing that you’d never wanna give up for anything. The coaches, the owner, the parents, and the athletes are amazing people who are one big family. I’ve seen how other gyms treat their athletes and none are even close to how we are at Natural Venom. I love this gym and will continue on with this gym.
This gym only cares about money and winning. Everyone wants to win I understand that but the coaches could care less about the athletes.
If you are thinking about doing Cheer or getting a kid invilved in Cheer...... This is the ONLY place to consider. Love watching what their athletes can do year after year!
Agree with the other poor reviews. Treat their athletes like dirt except their favorites who they just use. All they care about is bid chasing. They’ve lost a lot of kids to Celebrity and for good reason. A few good coaches but there are coaches that parents are giving them cash for good spots on their team. Go to Connect, Celebrity or Sonic.
I would like to start by saying my daughter has been cheering for 10 years and until we came to Natural Venom we didnt know what a real cheer family was.This has been our 1st year at NV and I was so worried there would be issues like the ones Ive seen with other local elite gyms. Not even close first the cost we were given at the start of the season is what we paid. Yes there are other things that we can buy that cost money but it is not mandatory. Second the owner Valerie has been the most caring owner Ive ever met. Always greeting us with a smile and asking how my daughter was doing when she was injured (which happen outside of the gym). The coaches are the best, my daughter has had tumbling at other gyms for years and learned more in the 1 year at this gym then she did at the others in years at them.All the cheerleaders from all of the teams have been kind, encouraging, and helpful to my daughter. I was worried about some of our out of state competitions how things worked and found great relief in the other NV parents who are always right there to help in anyway they can.If you want your child to be part of a family that cares for each other and is there for each other NV is definitely the place to be. My only complaint is that we didnt join this gym sooner.
Love this gym!!! My favorite place to be! The coaches are the best and very nice! Come here
This is the best All star gym in the area. compassionate coaches, awesome talent, and the best and most understanding owners!
Amazing what they do with these young people. Real work for real results.
My kids love it there!
Amazing competition cheer gym.
Love it!!
