I love this gym. My daughter has been going here since May 2021. She loves her coach, she loves coming to class and she’s improving everyday! The facility is very clean and professional. They have too notch equipment and the gym is huge. There are two seating area for parents to sit and watch though the large glass windows. Tons of parking and tons of classes available.Hands down I recommend this gym and only this gym for gymnastics locally. They are 100% taking covid precautions. Check them out!

My daughters (elementary age) have tried gymnastics at two other locations in the area and have been in other day camps this summer - but the Excalibur Gymnastics summer camp is by far our favorite. Its super clean, professional, and theyre great with the kids. My daughters both perfected their cartwheels and round-offs almost immediately. Ive been recommending Excalibur to friends, family, even my dentist (lol) for their kids. As a parent (aka the one paying) I appreciate that the facility is modern and like Ive said already, clean! Weve only done the Summer camps and we plan on enrolling in classes because theyve enjoyed it so much.

Very sad to be leaving this place. All of the instructors are amazing with the children as well as being professional and working them hard. My daughter learned so much in such a short time and she has loved every second of it.

This is a really difficult placed to give an accurate rating. The qualitt and rating of the class and programs really depends on who the teacher is and how the fellow classmates are. Weve had one amazing teacher, a couple mediocre teachers, and one really bad teacher. Weve also had good classmates who listened and contributed to a productive class and some really awful students who were disrupting everyone. It also depended a lot on the teachers confidence and assertiveness in handling difficult children.There were awesome classes where our child got one on one attention and other classes where they sat in a square 75% of the time because a 6 kid to 1 teacher ratio was way too much. You just dont know what youre going to get.The communications from management is great. Lots of emails and reminders to pay for bills.However, they are also very strict and unwavering when it comes to their policies and granting any type of flexibility (this could be a positive or a negative!)Definitely keep in mind that if you are just trying this out, you MUST give two weeks written notice before withdrawing your child. (Definitely check GROUPON to test them out.) You also may have to pay for days and classes when the gym is closed for a tournament and your money isnt prorated and no make-up class is offered.Make-up classes - with COVID ramping up again coming into the fall, keep in mind that the make-up class for a missed day is just a zoom call where an instructor leads the kids through stretches. (At almost $20 a class, I expected a little more.)Bathroom seems to be always dirty which disgusted me. I know there are a lot of unsupervised kids using them but, maybe they should check them and clean them once an hour or so. Gross!!Bottom line, I had to give them a solid 3. Definitely worth trying and we have recommended them to friends. We are going to try a different program for a little bit. And if we come back, and the advice we would give others, dont settle for a teacher who is letting the kids have glorified play time. Youre paying a lot of money, demand a quality instructor!!Good luck!

Wish I could give zero stars. It’s started out great and my kid loved it but when I went outside to breathe as their waiting area is small and not equipped to hold every parent inside, I came back inside to find my daughter crying in the bathroom by herself. Her class is not in view so I waited, watched her other two classmates leave wondering where my kid was.DO NOT SEND YOUR BABIES HERE!!! They will guide them to the bathroom and leave them there not notifying the parent or anything. Director escorted her and left her. She’s 3. Sad part is my baby really loves gymnastics but I guess we will just have to find another place to go to.

I didnt like the experience for being LATE once, called n explained to management immediately about the emergency and they had NO simpathy. They dropped my daughter out of class with no written notification or phone call that this was being done! They lost 2 kids and a birthday party event. Great Customer Service from the owner for sure.......WOW

My two kids are on team at this gym, having started in the rec program. I love the rec system they use to keep track of skill progression so that the parents know when the kids are ready to move up to the next level. I love the energy of the young coaches and experience of the team coaches, it is obvious the younger coaches are receiving good guidance and training from the team coaches. I would recommend this gym for its ability to provide a variety of training to meet the needs of each individual family and child. I have two very happy gymnasts and cant say enough good about our experiences with Excalibur!

My son has been at Excalibur for 3-years now and is a member of the Boys Team. The coaches we have had over the years have been top-notch and I wouldnt even consider moving to another gym in the area. Prior to coming to this gym, I had a daughter at another gym where she competed on team for numerous years. I can honestly say that Excalibur is by far the better of the two gyms both in terms of their coaching, their staff professionalism, and the overall attitudes of the parents. There is no drama amongst the parents that I interact with and we all get along great.I have read other reviews on this site and while everyone is entitled to their opinion, parents need to realize that not every child can be a gymnast just like not every kid can be a soccer, football, or baseball player. It is up to the coaches to separate those that can be successful at the team level and those that cannot. Just because a parent or child wants to be a gymnast doesnt mean that they can be even if they were to train under the U.S. Olympic Team Coach. Gymnastics takes quality coaching and some natural ability in order for you to be successful. Since gymnastics team costs thousands of dollars a year and is a tremendous time commitment on the parent and child, I would rather the coaches weed out those that wont be successful rather than simply promote them to team just to promote them.

Weve been testing the waters at various gyms in the HR area, upon watching my child play at the gym we were stuck watching Mario make flowers...out of cups. Basically a clown show. Following that the children were made to sit on the floor for 30min of class and listen to whatever science fiction he had in his head. So unless you want to have your child sit and watch a flower show dont waste your time.

My baby cousin went here and it was the worst experience of her life. At first she started to come home crying because someone was bullying her. She said she told the instructor, but they done nothing. About two weeks later, I heard from my aunt that she been kicked out of the program for fighting. The staff accuse her of hitting another girl. They didnt get both sides of the story or anything. According to my cousin, she was called into the office and was told to wait til her mother comes picks her up. They didnt question her, they didnt tell her whats going on or anything. By the time my aunt picked her up, they said she couldnt come back because of fighting. She was not fighting anyone. My cousin is non-violent. She came home crying because she was being bully and couldnt do anything about it.And what made the situation worst was no refund policy. I admit my aunt should have address the issue, but she thought It isnt that bad, This is part of life, Everyone gets bullied......this coming from a person who never been bullied. Now she regrets its because if the cost that she loss.
