We love Gym East. My daughter looks forward to her gymnastics class every week. Great teachers, great learning environment, and lot's of FUN!
Coach Ann is amazing! She really cares about each child. Excellent focus on safety. She truly teaches with kindness and attention to detail. Additionally this location is very diligent about cleanliness. Reception is welcoming and professional.
We love this place! My 5 YO daughter cannot wait for her class each week. She gets personalized directions from her coach, who is so good with all the kids in the class - personable, fun, engaged, yet good about setting clear boundaries in a positive way. She teaches them complicated techniques, but in a way that does not seem "technical" and boring - to them it is a game. I can see my child learning and growing by the week, even by the minute and her self confidence is blossoming. I wish I could sign up my 3 YO son here as well. He currently goes to another venue, where he gets much less personal attention and professional coaching, but alas all the classes in his age group are full (clearly because this is a desirable gym), so he is wait-listed.
