Best Gymnastics Center Ann Arbor Near Me

Matt Chaiken: While the owners/instructors have signs up that it's better to let your young gymnast go through class without thr distraction of parents, etc., we've discovered that simply using common sense and making sure if they seem like they first starting to want people to clear out you do so honestly seems to be good enough. Thankfully so because the space is huge and interesting and the instructors awesome to watch.

Theresa Smith: We have been a Champion rec family for over 8 years. Laurie, the owner, has a big heart and truly loves gymnastics. Your child will love Champion - they have programs for every level and interest. Most recently, my son has taken the ninja classes and they are super fun and engaging.

Jo Cook: This place is a dream. I bring my 1 year old here for toddler gymnastics but truthfully, I have just as much fun as he does. We have met so many fun kids and the curriculum is loose enough that my child can enjoy, explore and learn. Love it here!

Michael Hejka: Went for a 4-year-old's bday party. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I felt my kids were safe the whole time.

Amber Scott: Our first visit,here,was yesterday. I couldn't be more happy with it! I was SO happy that my little guy didn't have to wear a mask,to participate. So was he! The facility smelled and looked super clean.......Every single person we talked to,was extremely pleasant and helpful. My son had a blast,as well. He can't wait to go back!

Carrie Mueller: I reached out to CG in anticipation of grandson's visiting from another country for a month this summer. Despite the visiting being between sessions, they made accommodations where possible to include the boys in trail classes. The equipment is amazing and the coaches were working individually with the 5 kids in the class (2 coaches) ages 3-5. I liked the different ways they were teaching from this very young age the things that will allow the children to compete if that is where they are headed in a fun non-stress environment. Now that my grandson's are enrolled, I hope they can attend open gym whenever they are staying with grandma.

Emily Youatt: The gym is not complying with current guidelines (nor their own policies, as posted on their website) for mask adherence. Most gymnasts are too young to be vaccinated, and yet staff are not wearing masks and are not enforcing mask wearing on young (elementary school age) gymnasts. I may return to the gym once my child is eligible/has been vaccinated, but at the moment the recklessness and lack of communication to families makes this an unsafe space.***EDIT***: When I spoke to the owner several days after posting this review she was pleasant and graciously refunded my fees paid for a future session. While I wish there was a different approach to mask wearing at the gym, I respect the owner’s willingness to refund my costs due to my discomfort with their practices.

Tiffany Ellsworth: Thank you Champion Gymnastics for providing a safe and fun gym home for my kids. My son LOVES your Ninja Program! My daughter started Gymnastics as a terrified little girl who was afraid of most skills. She has since gained so much confidence that she now does cartwheels in the house and tries to go upside down any chance she gets!Champion Gymnastics of Ann Arbor is a wonderful gym and the staff is very positive and uplifting. I cannot imagine sending them anywhere else!

Robert Smothers: The CG space is beautiful! When I first walked in I was blown away with how much equipment was there and how clean it was. I am not a gymnastics expert, but they seemed to have everything anyone would need to be a successful gymnast. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I have coached tennis in the area for many years and rarely come across an athlete that has not done some programming at CG. They do a great job of teaching athletic skills while keeping it fun for the kids. Highly recommended!

Ruth Estabrook: My 7 year old son has been doing the Ninja program here at Champion Gymnastics for the past year and he absolutely loves it! If I could give this gym 10 stars I would. This is the only extracurricular activity we did throughout the pandemic and I could not have been happier with how professional and caring the coaches and staff have been. This has been an extremely challenging year for everyone, especially young kids, and I am so grateful to the team at Champion Gymnastics for providing our kids with a safe place to practice.The two Ninja coaches, Skye and Nate are absolutely amazing and my son really looks up to them. They are great with the kids, so enthusiastic and motivating, and are always smiling and super friendly. My son has done boys gymnastics in the past but he really loves the Ninja program because it is fast paced and mixes in some fun playground activities as well as great gymnastics moves. After a year in this program, I have noticed a BIG increase in his strength, focus, and confidence.

Rylee O'Neil: I did competitive gymnastics through Champion for about 2 years. I absolutely loved my coaches , I always felt so welcomed and like they were always excited to have me back. The coaches were really easy to get along with, including the other staff that I may have not worked a lot with. I would always walk in and be happy to be at Champion Gymnastics. Launie is such a great owner and knows for sure the right ways to run a good gymnastics business. She is always full of joy and never fails to make sure you are doing good and enjoying your experience throughout the gym, as a kid. I learned a great deal of not only skills from coaches, but also life lessons. I was laughing everyday I was at practice(and also working hard of course) . I could not have asked for a better gym to finish up my gymnastics career at, and I believe I could not have been the successful gymnast I was in my last years. I would always enjoy working towards competitions and having the joy behind having such a great team to go along with. I highly recommend this gym to anyone and everyone looking for a gym that makes you feel like you are part of a family. During the beginning of corona , it was my senior year of high school , and I was devastated that I could not finish out my gymnastics career, that I started when I was just 7 years old. The staff was able to send me a closing out gift and we had a goodbye zoom at the time and it made me feel so loved and appreciated for the hard work I had put into many years of gymnastics. I will forever be able to call this place a second home and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a genuinely great place to start their kid out in the sport of gymnastics :).

Danielle Lynn: Fantastic staff and so much fun for the kids. They go out of their way to make sure everyone is safe.

Kristina J: We just finished our first 8 week session with our toddler, and have already enrolled her for the next session because she has loved it so much! The coaches did a wonderful job of teaching to the children’s current level(s) while remaining realistic about the fact that sometimes toddlers just want to do their own thing :). They allowed our daughter to follow her own interests in class when appropriate and never made us feel like we had to force her to participate in a way that she wasn’t yet interested in/ready for. This made classes fun and stress-free for all of us... And despite often wanting to move to the beat of her own drum, she has learned so much here! She tip toes around the house and throws her arms up saying, “Tah dah!,” she tries to get up and walk on anything that even slightly resembles a balance beam whenever she has the chance, she does her “butterfly” leg stretches almost daily, and she chats about gymnastics and the coaches at Champion all the time!

Steven Finn: the classes have been good however they are now forcing kids/parents to buy their shirts in order to attend their class. so now just for my kids to attend they are charging $25 per shirt to classes that we are already paying for.

Shannon Brown: Very nice facility, friendly coaches, great with my little guy. I feel like the price is right for the amount of time we are in the gym. Has a great open gym schedule!

Jamie Kunzelman: From the owner to the teachers this place has been incredible for my girls!

Janet Llerraf: The worst experience in my child's life! The coaching staff (at the time) was inexperienced, mean and just horrible to the girls. I sincerely hope they've improved.

Amelia Kinnard: My sister attends classes here and loves the coaches and the gym space! Great location. Very happy and thankful we chose Champion AA!!

Jessica Anderson: We recently tried two free trial classes for my 6 year old and 11 year old. My 11 year old struggles with gross motor skills and coach Jullianne was so encouraging, supportive and friendly to her. It was a great experience!

Aaron Padgen Soucy: Champion gymnastics is not only a fun gym for kids to experience new things but a safe place for kids to take risks. After watching my nieces (4 and 6) in class it is evident that the coaches respect the children and value their abilities. Classes are fun, structured, and engaging to gymnasts at a variety of levels! Now if I could only convince my son to give it a try!

Luke Hamilton: There is so much emphasis put on the whole person, not just the athlete. The boys have struggled together and been successful together. It’s so much more than just another Gym. Coach K and GA are part of our family.

Lorien Wenger: Our son started in the toddler program around 3yo. It was a great place for his energy and wall climbing. He’s now 15yo and competing level 8 on the Boy’s Team with Coach Kurtis and we all love Gym America! There is so much emphasis put on the whole person, not just the athlete. The boys have struggled together and been successful together. It’s so much more than just another Gym. Coach K and GA are part of our family.

Christine Asidao: Gym America is a true gem for our community. We have been part of the Gym America community since before the competitive boys team was established. We are especially grateful for Coach Kurtis and his commitment, care, and support of our boys, not only as gymnasts, but as individuals. This was especially evident during the height of the pandemic. Even though we were not able to meet in person, he found creative ways for the boys to connect via Zoom and practice together remotely. Later, practices were done outside. And when indoor practices resumed, attention to safety continued while maintaining communication and connection. Underneath all of this was for our boys to stay connected socially and to have a sense of belonging. Gym America staff develops amazing gymnasts, but most importantly, they focus on the whole person, not just the athlete. This really matters and I am so grateful to the entire staff, Claudia and Ed, and Coach Kurtis for helping our son develop into the wonderful young man he is today. Thank you, Gym America, we are so happy to have found you all those many years ago.

Judith Smith: My son has been at Gym America since he was 8 years old, and he is now 17! It is his home away from home. He has gained tremendous gymnastics skills (vault...rings...etc...), and most importantly, Gym America has helped him grow in so many ways as a person. The men's coach (Kurtis Rosen) is incredible. If you are interested in having your son learn gymnastics in a supportive environment--this is the place to be!

Rev M: Awesome place for gymnastics! Our youngest (5yr) started this year and loves it. Instructors are fun and patient. Kids of all ages practicing. Facilities look well kept and maintained. They even offer open gym on Saturdays, but I think you have to register or call ahead for that.

aj shah: Registered my child for a class, I guess it was not confirmed. We showed up on Saturday for the class and the front desk lady was EXTREMELY rude. I say “hi My child X is here for a class.” She’s like “no you’re not—our classes have been full for months”. I asked if we could register or be placed on a waitlist and she’s like “umm no you’ll hear from us if that’s a possibility”. Now my toddler is crying. My fault for not confirming we were registered, but goodness she could be kind about it. They very well May have a good gym, but I’ll never know.

Ramy: Nice place, friendly staff. My kids like it.

Johann Majer: Great n friendly place

Olivia Anne: it is quite literally impossible to ever speak to someone on the phone here.

Alexandra Kubiak: Great gym, overall. My preschooler loves our weekly class! Was disappointed to learn that members must pay for weekly classes, even if the instructor needs to cancel; while they do offer "make up days" on the weekend, this supplemtary time doesn't work for our family's schedule, and we were still required to pay for a class that wasn't offered for us during the time we are registered for. I do, however, love that all ages perform in the same, large space, allowing my youngster a full visual experience. They love going every week. I love that they are making it available for parents to watch their child, while still enforcing strict masking, sanitizing, distancing guidelines.Front desk needs support! They are always understaffed when we are in at a seemingly busy time, leading to lack of gym members' ease of getting scanned and given the "go" to join their classes; takes away from potential welcoming demeanor.

Cinnamon Howard: It’s a amazing place we’re your kids get to have fantastic coaches and good practice and structure.

Ruth Estabrook: My preschooler has been taking classes at Gym America for 6 months and she loves it. Coach Jamie is amazing with the littlest kids; she's funny and silly all the while teaching gym skills and helping them learn to take turns and listen. The staff, coaches and students all wear masks and stay distanced from each other. The check-in process is streamline and the facility is spotless. As soon as instructional classes resume I will enroll my first grader here too. Thank you!

Heidi Weise: Love Gym America! This is our 9th year as a part of the GA family and we have been consistently happy with our experience, both from the gymnast and parent-of-gymnast perspectives. Everyone we work with at the gym, from the coaches to the gym owners to the staff members, are so professional, caring, and dedicated to the well-being and success of our daughter as a gymnast and as a person.

Casey Bishop: Positive:Professionalism,QualityGym America has amazing coaches that have helped my daughter not only grow as a gymnast, but also helped her gain confidence. They have also taken the health and safety of the students seriously and are actively updating protocols to meet current situations.

Amy Landingham: We love Gym America! My daughter has been a part of the GA family for 9 years. I think the thing that the GA team does best is handle adversity. They impressed me with the way they used the Larry Nassar case to empower the kids to use their voice, and now they have been ROCK STARS in handling the pandemic. I literally trust them with my kid's life. I'm so grateful for the influence the coaches have been my daughter's life. I highly recommend them to everyone I know.

Patricia Leasure: Exceptional place for kids to learn not just gymnastics, but to find friendship, and build integrity, strength and character. This gym is one of a kind!

Mike Siegwald: The gym is fine for a place to take kids.The owner tried to involve herself in my child custody case.Something she wasn't involved but took it upon herself to get mixed up in. Go elsewhere. I'll pay your first month

Robin Kind: Toddler time is great!

Evette Dziedzic: I love this place a million times over. The staff is so friendly and kind and have helped my daughter build character, friendships and just have fun when going through tough times. They teach kids at so many different levels of experience but treat all gymnasts with respect, compassion and support. We’ve been attending for a few years and have no intention of stopping any time soon!

Jamie VanEpps: We have been coming to Gym America for the past 8 years. As a mom of 2 boys, my goal for them has never been anything more than get stronger, more coordinated and have fun. Gym America is a place they have done that and so much more. The motto of “Gymnastics today. Character for life” has played out in so many ways for both boys. We have been supported through our journey with gymnastics AND life (good and bad times) by administration and coaches at every level. Our family is very thankful to call Gym America home.

zanijah's world: Great program, I highly recommend this gym! Helped my daughter become a awesome gymnast and climb levels in a short amount of time. The bars coach Mr leon is incredible with helping kids reach new levels. Overall the coaches here are fantastic!

Grace Meyer: I chaperoned a field trip with my kindergartener and it was great. Really fun for the kids and the staff was friendly and prepared.

Nicole Nowicki: I used to go there when I was a kid my very first instructor was Leon he was pretty cool. I made it to blue I didn't finish Red cause they said I didn't need to buy both times I was there three months and then went to dance class. But the staff were amazin and they provided rubber bands for your hair and any problem you had they took care of it.

Bobby Clark: My granddaughter is on the MAG gymnastics team!

Marcus ψ Balazs: Critical:Quality,Value

cammqt: Hello !!! Are you all still having Zoom Classes ??

Peyton Lemolai: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueMy name is Brooklyn and I went here for about some month and moved up quick but it got expensive so I had to quite :(

iiCeceYT: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueI started last year in October and I absolutely loved it there! I had so much fun! I even went to one of the competitions and cheered the team on. I love MAG and the coaches so much! 💕 ~ Camille Davis

Cristin Carnes: Tried to bring my grandson for a class, too bad they told us the wrong time.

Aisha Miller: my daughter absolutely loves MAG and the instructors. weekend free play is awesome.

Adventures with Ari (Ari Simone): My Daughter is 5 years old and this is her second year at MAG! She absolutely loves it and has gotten so much stronger in just one year! I wouldn’t think of signing her up anywhere else! I have also attended a birthday party at MAG and it was so much fun for all of the children, those with gymnastics background and those without! I would definitely Recommend!

Adriana Chittaro: Great facility! Staff is awesome and my 3 year old is excited to come every week!

Michelle Schaible: Great place! Staff is very friendly and the coaches are incredible. My daughter started here in the summer program and has learned so much in such a short time even though she has been doing gymnastics for 4 years.

Shanna Musallam: My daughter loves this gym. The coaches encourage her to work hard and she has learned so much since she started attending.

Lairicia Hodges: My daughter absolutely loves it here. She has learned so much in such a little amount of time. Mag you ROCK!

Lauren Flanagan: Great program - my kids learn a lot in each class. Only complaint is having to pay extra (in money and time) for level testing, which seems like it could be done/assessed during class tome.

Kissimmee Reeves: This is my daughter's second year at MAG and she has learned so much and has promoted several times. The teachers and other staff members are patient and truly care. Highly recommended.

Andrew Krause: We attended a 2-yr-old birthday party and it was AWESOME for ages 2-10. Lots of space and fun activities in the gym.

Alisha Masson: Very unfriendly, rude front desk staff that never smiled or greeted the girls or family.Our first coach was amazing but then out of the blue they changed coaches without any notification/communication and the class went through multiple coaches over several weeks which prohibited the preschool girls from actually learning because they weren't sure who was going to be instructed them, they lost my little girls trust and consistency is key at that age. They switched class times on us without any notification. They also changed a class one week with only a couple hour notice and via email, so unprofessional. And during the summer when it was 90+ it was like a sauna in there, if your AC wasn't working, invest in some fans for the people that are paying you to be there...I do no recommend, overall they appear very upity and unwelcoming, not my crowd and nor do I want my young child in that type of environment anymore. Needless to say we have chosen to continue our gymnastics elsewhere from here on out!

Josh Cardenas: Way too hot in the parents waiting area. There is no AC, it has to be almost 90 degrees in here. They have the thermostat locked up like an excessively frugal stepdad. It has that uncomfortable stagnant hot air sweat box feel. Coaches seem to do well with the kids.

Stacey C: They need to get the air conditioner working. This is the 3rd or 4th week it’s not been working. Now it’s 90 degree weather! My daughter was not feeling well after practice, from heat exhaustion.

Nicholas Carr: Great teachers.

Lama Tamimi: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueWe tried two other local gyms before coming to Euro Stars and we are extremely happy here. The coaches, front desk staff and the owner are always welcoming and helpful. The coaches are outstanding! Plus they have a wonderful boys coach!! We are grateful to be part of the Euro Stars family!!

Bethany Safadi: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,Value

Bethany Michele: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueWe've been at ESG for 3 years. Our daughter loves her coach, her team and the facility. Safety protocols are always in place and the kids are a top priority!

Audrey Raby: I was there for more than 2 years and have been trying to advance. I decided to tryout for xcel. They didn’t give me a tryout, my Coach stuck me in silver assuming my skills. If you are looking to advance in gymnastics do not go to Eurostar’s.

Lisa Jacobi: Euro Stars Gymnastics has an incredible staff filled with many talented coaches. With the family oriented environment ESG creates, my daughter sees this as her second home. The care and concern these coaches put into the gymnasts is second to none. Highly recommended!

Nellie Lee: My daughters have excelled at Euro Stars! They are so happy to train in such a wonderful atmosphere! The coaches are attentive, positive and supportive! So happy to have found Euro Stars.

Angie James: Positive:ProfessionalismMy daughter is thriving at EuroStars!! The coaches are the best - they care about each gymnast. So glad we found a wonderful gymnastics home.

dana laney: We love Eurostars!! This is my daughters second home and the coaches are fantastic!! So blessed to have found such a great atmosphere for my daughter!

Matthew Whitaker: This business is not abiding by the required safety protocols for COVID. On numerous occasions they have put our child at undue risk. Further, the coaches on a number of occasions have been verbally abusive to our daughter and to her teammates. Because of these concerns we recently attended a practice to ensure the safety of our young gymnast. We shared those concerns and in direct response our daughter was kicked out of the program. This action by the gym is in direct contradiction to the requirements of USAG Safe Sport.We will be following up accordingly and would advise any other considering this gym to seriously reconsider.

Sophia Van Riper: I have been going here for a long time and it is the bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

danya mallad: Great gym with the best coaches! My daughter is so happy and excelling here. It’s extremely clean and the coaches spend lots of time helping each girl perfect their routines. So pleased.

Amanda Zopf: Best coaches and gymnastics place around!!!!

Aleksandar Tanaskoski: Best gymnastics place ever!!!

Jessica Gonzalez: I really love your gym even though I haven't seen it really , but on intergram it looks amazing and Chandelir is my Fav .
