Our family just moved from the panhandle of Florida to Colorado Springs. We were referred to this gym by the coaches and owner of our daughters previous gym. We had high expectations coming out here and Aerials Gymnastics did not disappoint. Our daughter has made so much improvement in her skills in just the few weeks we have been here. We are looking forward to seeing what competition season brings. So far great gym and great coaches. Id also say the award wall speaks for itself.

I have had my daughter at aerials since she was three. She loved it until she became a silver gymnast. When she got her coach she started to hate gymnastics but pushed through because of her friends. This happened from early November to now (august 2021). The thing that made her hate this coach was when she got political with the team. This coach also gave my daughter a panic attack in practice when she was going through a really hard time in her life. She would not leave my daughter alone about doing this skill she just kept telling her, you need to do it, just do it, your not doing it right. This terrified her and caused her to have a panic attack. And a coach should never give a child ant sort of mental or physical pain. Now she has never hated gymnastics more because this coach would not mover her up even with all the necessary skills. Instead the coach said she was not consistent enough while there were other girls who did not have all the skills needed to move up who got moved up. This was heartbreaking for my daughter because she had worked really hard all summer to move up. This all happened because a coach did not like her. So moral of the story is at this gym it really depends on the coach you have. After 10 years of being at this gym we have had many amazing coaches. But just this one has ruined my daughters love for gymnastics.

We enrolled my daughter here months ago. The experience has been great in terms of coaching. My updated rating is reflective of the customer service.We pay our monthly registration by auto payment. My wife lost her card and ordered a new one, therefore the transaction failed. An email was sent the day the transaction failed. My wife missed the email ( working mom of 3 with a newborn). Within 6 days after no phone call or notification that they would be doing so, they not only dropped my daughter from her class, but also replaced her spot. 😳 Who does that? My wife showed up with my daughter and the front desk worker notified her that today would be my daughter’s last day.This communicates that children are nothing more than a debit card transaction OR that there was someone more important that they wanted to be in my daughter’s class than my daughter who is a minority. I’m hoping they will respond and do the right thing and/or update their communications process to notify parents and customers that your child will literally be kicked out of the gym in a short window between classes if something goes wrong with their payment.**UPDATE: spoke with Jeri —front desk manager and she informed me that there is option for different day for my daughter to continue enrollment. Their month to month policy is weird, but that’s their rule. If you miss a payment for whatever reason, your child is removed from the class within two days! 😳

Awesome place if you are interested in putting your children into gymnastics.

I give Aerials a 5 star. Many of the girls on my daughters team came from all over the state for outstanding coaching. Colorado Aerials was a second home to my daughter. She began gymnastics at the age of five at Aerials and recently graduated from high school and earned a full ride scholarship to compete in college. She spent 13 years at Colorado Aerials. Her teammates were her sisters. Her coaches knew her so well; they were like her second parents. My daughter will be eternally grateful for Aerials. The memories will last a lifetime for my daughter and our family. Thank you Aerials for everything!

I grew up in PA and am a former level 9/10 gymnast who went on to coach in various locations across the country after graduating. When it came time to select a gym for my own daughter in a brand new state years later, I was looking for a very specific type of program due to my personal experience in the sport and having coached at multiple gyms (which gave me a true understanding of the philosophy and business aspect of gyms). Aerials had everything I was looking for - a caring and knowledgeable team of coaches who were capable of instilling a love of the sport while developing a well-rounded athlete not just physically but also emotionally and mentally. My daughter started in the rec program and went on to compete for Aerials during our time in Colorado. Now that we have relocated out of state for my husband’s job and to a new gym, I can easily say that she is a superior gymnast because of her time at Aerials. From the coaches to the supportive group of parents to the front desk staff, every aspect of this gym is top notch. Whether you’re looking for your child to learn basic coordination and skills while having fun burning off some energy or to become a competitive gymnast, you won’t find a better place than Aerials.

Staff and gymnasts are so friendly. This gym has great ambiance and I know my kids are getting the care and instruction that they need for this sport and diversion. Needs new lighting inside however.

I’ve been at Colorado Aerials Gymnastics for almost eight years and I’ve had an amazing experience. The coaches support and encourage me to help reach my goals and aspirations. Coaches Kathy and Jason, and the owner, Tom Forster have helped me to earn a full-ride gymnastics scholarship to the University of Denver. Along with a great athletic experience, I’ve also formed strong relationships with the girls and staff. I’m happy with this gym and would recommend it to future kids looking to have fun a enjoy their gymnastics experience.

My daughter loves her teacher and always comes home excited about new tricks she has learned! Her teacher pushes her to try new things, and her overall flexibility and strength has increased in our 6 months with Aerials.

I grew up as a gymnast at Colorado Aerials for years. It was by FAR the best competitive gymnastics experience I could have asked for. I made lifelong friends and my coaches always pushed me to my best. Recent curriculum, staff, and program changes at Aerials make for an even better experience— there’s no surprise they are highly regarded as one of the best gyms in the state. Even now as a coach at Aerials I feel I have opportunities to grow and I love having a bond with every gymnast I have the privilege of coaching. It’s great to see a gym that can balance fun and safety with a stellar curriculum and coaches who are encouraged to learn new things and ask questions whenever they need to. This gym is a great after-school activity for not only parents who want to see their child learn correct technique in a fun, controlled environment, but also for kids who are eager to learn and are looking to get some energy out!

Very poor comunication. Got email after 1 week letter of some one got a covid positive, and still have to quarantine for another 10 business days . Make up classes never as scheduled and money was never giving back . Staff was very unprofessional and very rude. Coache was late. Going some where else. And writing a big concerning letter to an owner of this facility.

My granddaughter has been taking classes since November and absolutely loves it!!! I love how the coaches are very patient with the two year olds and let them leave the structured class to explore on their own within the smaller preschool gym. My granddaughter gets so excited when she gets a WOW card!

Disappointing, to say the least. I thought this place had a good name behind it. I brought my step daughter here for a free trial class that my husband set up previously (his experience wasn’t awful, otherwise he wouldn’t have sign up for the trial), and the front desk and teachers were very uninterested. I watched as my step daughters teacher looked annoyed at her arrival to the class. She looked like she wasn’t having much fun at all, and the kids could see that. Not to mention I saw other coaches through the gym getting nasty at kids. No impressed at all, will be going somewhere else.

Review №14

Uninterested coaches, especially at the younger levels. Not hands on. Barely pay attention to the kids 6 and under. Don’t offer instruction or help kids that are struggling. Not enough emphasis on proper form and protecting the neck. Seem to only focus on favorite naturally talented kids. But even then enthusiasm for teaching and the students is not existent. We have been coming for 5 months and neither of my kids actually have fun. Possibly an instructed specific issue. I keep hoping the instructor will improve but it’s like she is bored out of her mind and she spends more time talking to other coaches than paying attention to the kids in her class. It’s shocking.

If you want to be talked down to by condescending people, this is your place. From the front desk, to the owner himself (Tom), this place is NOT a place you want to bring your children. Tom has proven himself over the years to not care about the girls, or the teams they are on. This review is written after years of experience with this gym, I have no idea why we put up with it so long. Go elsewhere if you value your children and their experiences.

As others have shared, if your child is not naturally gifted or already trained, dont even bother. The coaches her are rude and unprofessional. I kept letting my daughter attend because she liked it but she only improved on a few areas do to the lack of hands on teaching, there was little to no direction from coaches. Coach Heather was the worst and the reason we left, I would have had words with her but she went on leave and was temporarily replaced, but she needs to find a new job, she seems miserable. They give out these good job cards after class, well I should say they give these to the kids that already have the skills everytime no one else, you should be careful with that before you get a lawsuit. Stay away!

Every one is super nice and kind. Especially coach Tristan and Coach Connor. They taught me how to do a Barani with in two weeks. 10/10 would recommend.

We have been taking our daughters here for almost over a year and they have gotten much better and have progressed further than we have expected. The staff and teachers are very helpful and informative and there also is an option for private lessons which is a great option to get that little extra bit of help

There are a few children that I nanny and bring here once a week. Initially, I thought I would enroll my own children into the program, but I’ve found that the front desk staff seem to dislike customer interaction. I feel like such a burden whenever I have a question about times or other classes. The kids seem to like it okay, but they aren’t crazy excited to get there. No idea who the teachers that they have are, but I usually watch and most don’t seem very animated. Maybe I went into it with high expectations or I’m old school, but the front desk just really rubs me the wrong way, unfortunately. That’s where my two stars come from.

Another place i am going to boycott. My poor daughter was invited to a birthday party and she had bad anxiety. I was not allowed to be in the area with her and she spent the time crying. There was one coach that felt bad and said i can be in there with her but the main boss said i was not allowed. My daughter is four and i found it ridiculous that they didnt make an exemption to their frumpy rule.

We had a birthday party for our 4 yr old and it was awesome! A great instructor and customer service. The gym time was broken into the sections- slide and trampolene, foam pit, and swing. The kids had a great time! Easy, and inexpensive. A perfect place for a quick and easy birthday party!

I have my son doing Parkor and he absolutely loves everything about it. Parkor is a place where they really let the kids have a lot of freedom to push their bodies in their own way. He really enjoys his teacher too.The reason I’m giving it a 4 Star is because I have my 4 year old doing gymnastics. And her teacher has made my daughter have a little bit of anxiety. I will be ending her session.

We had my daughters 5th birthday party there today. We couldnt be more happy! They do everything for you from set up to take down and even carrying items up to the room and down. Trey was our party host and he was awesome! He was so good with the kids and he was so polite and helpful! The activities were so fun and all of the kids had a blast. Thank you so much Aerials for throwing my daughter the best birthday!

Love Aerials. Weve been to several gyms before we found our gymnastics home. All the girls are so supportive of each other and really are a TEAM. The coaches are THE BEST!!!! Im mean the best!!!! My kids are excited every week to go and have sooo much fun there. The coaches are so engaged and focused on the kids, and the team kids are amazing! I just cant get over how good they are at gymnastics! We love Aerials!!!!!

I was a competitive gymnast at Aerials in the 90s but more recently, my kids have taken classes in their preschool program. The staff is very friendly and professional and they really care about the kids. Id say my daughter is one of the more timid kids in her class but her teachers have always been so willing to help her work through her fears. Having a background in gymnastics myself as well as some coaching experience, it is nice to see correct basics and progressions being taught. My niece was also enrolled in the program a couple years ago and had a great experience as well. It is amazing that some of the upper level coaches that were there when I was a child are still coaching 20+ years later! It is no wonder they are nationally recognized and regarded as one of the best gyms in the state! Overall, Im just glad my kids are having fun and Id highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for recreational through competitive gymnastics.

I came here to watch my granddaughter do her class. I had some questions about the program, and the front desk staff seemed less-than-thrilled to answer them. I felt very unwelcome. My granddaughter seems to enjoy her class, I just wish the staff were trained better in the customer service field.

Awesome programs. My elementary age kids loved it. Parkour for boys is pretty cool but wish they had gymnastics for older boys. Coaches are fun, patient, and knowledgeable. Not enough seating for parents and family. Most parents here can be pretty rude and grumpy. The front desk do their best but have their hands full.

We had our daughters birthday party here and it was amazing! The kids had a wonderful time! The facilities were great, all of the kids had a super fun time on the different equipment. They provide a person to lead your party and our guide was fantastic. He made everything fun for the kids and kept things as organized as you can with fifteen 6 and 7 year-olds. It was super easy for the parents, as they handled all of the setup and for the party, including providing plates, plasticware and decorations. They also took all of the presents to the party room and did everything with a smile. We could not be happier. We have spent more than the cost of the birthday package in previous years and got far less for it. The staff was so polite and helpful. It was nice to be able to enjoy the party instead of having to be focused on all the setup. We will definitely book more birthday parties here.

TLDR: The coaches are ever caring and exceptionaL, however, the owners and the front desk are rude and kind of elitist, its a dirty gym.Jeri made my life as a student and a coach incredibly frustrating. If you are thinking about working here, dont. As one of the coaches, Jeri was incredibly restrictive and overbearing to us, to a level where she shouldnt have been. Watching us constantly on the cameras, even after hours, and restricting our hours to less than 5hours per week made this job horrible. Even not being willing to get a working vacuum so it would be possible to clean the gym from all the dust should be a normal thing for any boss, but not Jeri. Things only change when a parent complains.Dont work here, the coaches are good, but in the next few months to a year Im expecting the gym to close because of how neglected the equipment, cleanliness, and coaches are by the head owners. Im not the only one who feels this way. Ask any of the other coaches, and they will give you the same answer, regardless of whether they coach parkour or gymnastics.
