It took me four calls to get a message back about enrolling my child here. When I finally got someone on the phone they seemed annoyed and gave us very little information, said they were full. My daughter was interested in this location because they bus to and from her daily school. All the person I spoke with wanted to tell me after I pushed the subject was to call back in June 2022 - no wait list. No pricing. No nothing. They didnt seem welcoming or interested in ever having our business, or even wanted to tell us anything about their services. My kid and I were disappointed.

(5280 North review) Do not take your 4 year-old here for preschool classes unless you want their confidence destroyed. My daughter was here for about 3 months with Coach Alyncia, mid. feb.2021-may 2021. My child was always being yelled at by her, and my daughter is a sweet girl, who has no issues at her regular preschool. In fact all the children were always being yelled at, (I knew all their names, they were yelled at so often. I also saw many kids come and go). Coach Alynica looks miserable the whole time while she teaches and seems very frustrated with the kids.Coachs would also make kids sit on a wall to listen to long instructions, kids would get bored and become sidetracked, then they would get yelled at, when its the coachs fault in the first place for poor classroom management skills. My daughter was also yelled at for not doing all the moves correctly, very strict on the kids and also not big on letting them make friends, or have fun, these are 4 year olds!!!!!! I then switched my daughter to coach Taylors class instead. Well first day coach Taylor PUNISHED my daughter for not listening and didnt let her jump on the trampoline (this was the last straw). My daughter was very upset, crying hysterically and did not understand why she was the only one who didnt get to jump. Coach Taylor did not even give her the time of day to make this situation right or explain things to her.I tried two different coaches because I was very unhappy with the first one... well the second one was just as bad. Mostly, all the coaches are bad, the only good one from hearsay apparently is Hannah and her class is full. The rest need to learn to teach better. Stay away from this gym!!!!!! They dont know what the hell they are doing when it comes to teaching young kids, nor do they care about giving your child an awesome experience. Its like they slapped this class together, so they can generate more income and dont care who is qualified or not. I looked at their job posting for preschool coach recently on their website and under qualifications it says there are none, they will teach you, something so wrong about this. Preschoolers can be very hard to teach and having someone with zero experience with kids teach a whole classroom seems very wrong to me. DO NOT COME HERE!!!!!!!!!

Great gym. Well maintained and clean. Following the Covid guidelines. Coaches are knowledgeable and experienced. My daughter has been on the JO team for over a year there and loves it. Also did really well in competition so that speaks to the skilled coaching she received.

5280 Gymnastics is an amazing world class facility! That’s right, not just in the USA, but the world! This gym already produced a couple elite Olympians including Alexander (Sasha) Artemev (Bronze medalist champion from Beijing, 2008) and 2021Tokyo hopeful, Yul Moldauer!My two boys have been members of this gym for a few years now- one is on the competitive team, the other enjoys the recreational practices! It is definitely a kid approved gym! Both boys love their coaches and enjoy their practices! It is really rewarding to watch them grow and constantly improve their gymnastics skills with a smile on their face.The coaches are awesome! They are friendly, professional and they truly care for our athletes with all their hearts. It is noticeable they feel it is not only their profession, but it’s their passion too! They know how much to push and challenge a kid to get them to the next level of skill. It is done with such finesse, that the children do not even notice. Basically, it feels like each athlete experiences an individually “tailored” program, based on their needs and progress. Coaches are not only training them gymnastics skills, but also incorporating values such as respect, integrity, humility, team work, and determination. They are always encouraging and inspiring. My sons are stronger, flexible, more focused and disciplined because of 5280 Gymnastics. This gym made us feel like we were at our second home from day one!From a practical stand point, the gym offers an online access to stream our childrens class during their practice from anywhere - that is an amazing feature! Also, there is Wifi at the facility, which is a great perk for working parents, if they have to sit and wait for the class to finish.Ive recommended this gym to my friends whose children have joined and they love it too! If anyone is looking for a healthy after-school activity for their kids, this is the place!Finally, a noteworthy fact is 5280 Gymnastics trained many athletes (boys and girls) who were recruited and awarded college gymnastics full ride scholarships.With the new times now of COVID-19, 5280 Gymnastics is very “sterile”and compliant with all the health departments recommendations. All precautionary measures are implemented and not limited to checking temperatures daily, provide constantly hand sanitizers, daily cleanings and disinfection!

My brother goes there and it is a great place to be. I don’t go there because I do competitive dance. You can tell that the trainers are great because a four year old could do hard bare and beam and floor work. I appreciate this place. Even though there is a lot of chalk dust. 😂

NOT IMPRESSED!!!! It was not a good fir for our child, others may have a better experience. I agree with others who have posted, that the coaches are rude, lack empathy and the love a mentor needs to bestow upon their students. Its easy to bark stern commands, stopping and connecting is very difficult and not all place have that capacity. In my opinion, this place lacks the leadership quality needed to bring out the best in your child.

Coach Calvin was amazing, we had another really sweet coach working with my 3YO on Friday nights, however, since December there have been more cancellations than gymnastics sessions for my preschooler due to meets, and really couldnt make up as many as we were missing. I think that 5280 is probably a good spot for older children, but doesnt seem to have much focus on its preschool classes, we were directed here by a friend for their excellent coaching and thats certainly been our experience when weve been able to participate. Just need more consistency to keep a young child interested and engaged in the activity than were getting.

We’ve only been a few times for pay your age open play. My 1.5 year old runs for 90 mins and has a blast! It’s hot, but oh well, you’re running around. Who cares about the WiFi...go outside. Or better yet, spend some actual time with your kids instead of whining about Internet. Bathrooms were incredibly clean. The staff was great. Very friendly. We’re going back every Tuesday and Thursday for as long as this program is offered.

Review №16

Hot , crowded and a staff that could use a crash course on nurturing talent and children of all ages. Thought it might be just me till one of our daughters teachers let us know she went to 5280 herself for years. She doesnt recall a single week in the years she was going there when she didnt go home and cry. So if you want to return to a gym and philosophy stuck in the 1970s this is your place, otherwise look elsewhere. and yes the wifi sucks, the bathrooms are dirty. this place needs a complete over haul. physically and mentally.

My son has been going there for a little over a month and so far his coaches have been fabulous! It is structured and strict to teach the kids respect and what this sport requires to be a good gymnast and I couldnt be happier.

I gave this gym a 5 star review as related to the coaches, which at the end of the day, is probably the most important element with regard to gymnastics. Our daughter joined the 5280 North JO team after having a very rough, unstable, and demoralizing experience at a nearby gym that she attended for about 18 months. We were seeking a gym that would help reinstate confidence in herself as a gymnast, renew her love of the sport, and believe in her ability to work hard and improve while being trained by a stable group of career coaches that were professional and dedicated. She has now been at this gym for a year and the experience is night/day compared with her former gym. Mikah, the head coach, heard our concerns and our daughters goals and installed a plan to help her achieve that goal (working her way up to Optionals). Coach Mikah identified our daughters weaknesses in certain areas, was willing to dedicated her time to training her by creating a plan (which required extra conditioning, privates, and clinics) in order to get her up to par. This also meant working with other great coaches including Megan, Sean, Maddie, and Michelle in addition to Mikah in order to help her focus on skill building, form, shaping, and confidence building. Fast-forward one-year and with hard work, dedication, commitment and an investment of time and money, our daughter achieved her personal goal and now identifies herself as a real gymnast while successfully reaching her goal of becoming an Optionals level gymnast! When evaluating the other aspects of 5280 North, there are some areas that have struggled such as communication, billing, facility, and parking at times, but I do acknowledge that the owner, Beth Trammell, has made efforts to work on improving these areas. So, if for whatever reason you dont get an immediate response from them, try again, dont take it personally, and recognize this is an area that they are trying to improve.

I just finished reading all of the reviews 5280 Gymnastics has (on here and on another review site), and thought Id throw in my two cents. My daughter is 3 years old and in the preschool program with Coach Calvin. He is young but is amazing with the littles. My daughter adores him and she has learned so much in the 3-4 months since weve started here. Previously, she attended a different gym and skills were not fostered like they are at 5280 Gymnastics.Next: The place is dusty; it is not dirty like Ive seen it implied elsewhere. Im not sure you can expect a place that takes gymnastics seriously and has so many participants in an open floor plan building to not be dusty from chalk. Apart from the chalk dust, the place is well cared for and clean.Office/Office staff: We had a hiccup the first time they closed (for Memorial Day) and we werent notified. The following week I stopped into the office and politely let them know about how we werent notified, and she apologized and made sure she had all of our contact information input correctly into the system. Now we receive emails and phone calls when there is a closure of any kind. Weve never had a billing issue, and its easy to pay online. The office staff even informed us theyll start taking credit cards soon, which may make things even easier with regards to payment options.My daughter has had a couple of substitutes: one when her normal coach was out of town and twice when we had scheduled makeups. The girls who taught her class were respectful and worked well with the kids. The only criticism I have is that while Coach Calvin uses the technical terms for what he has the kids do, the other two coaches used cutesy names and my daughter was a little lost/confused for a second each time because of that.Their pricing is competitive with other gyms; in fact, were paying a few dollars less each month for higher-quality instruction than we were paying at our previous gym.My last point is for the seating. While its true there isnt much seating (and the seating that does exist is up in the loft area, though you can look down on the whole gymnasium from there), Ive never struggled to find a place to sit. Perhaps its the day/time that we come? Maybe weve just been lucky? Whatever it is, I cant speak to the lack of seating comments Ive seen in other reviews. Weve never had a problem.I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone who has a child interested in gymnastics and you want to foster that love. Theyll learn a lot while having fun at the same time.

Do not book your birthday party with the 5280 South Gym. We booked my daughters 6th birthday party here on February 11th, after it taking almost 2 weeks to contact people and get the right information of how to book. They didnt answer the phones during business hours, and took a while to get back to me when leaving a message. I over looked that and went into the South Gym 2/11/17 and paid a $65 cash deposit and filled out a form for her party on March 5th and 3pm.The days before the party we tried contacting just to confirm and ask a couple last minute questions, and could not get a hold of anyone. On Sunday, March 5th we showed up at the gym at 2:35 to set up for the party at 3. The doors were locked, and no cars where in the lot. No one was in the gym to open it or supervise the party for us. We tried calling them and were even calling the North Gym to find someone who could help us figure out what was happening. No one would answer or call back. We had to re-route all the friends and family to a nearby park. Despite the winds and the kids being cold because they were dressed for an indoor gymnastics party, the kids played and had fun.However, I have left messages each day, called during business hours, and no one has called me back to explain or rectify what in the world happened. It is now Tuesday, and since Sunday we have not heard anything from them. I have also filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, but did not want any parent to have to go through the same situation. Having a kid tour the party location, then get excited for a month to have a gymnastics party, only to have it be cancelled while we are at the location, was not a fun birthday surprise. I get that mistakes are made, but find it utterly incompetent and disrespectful that a service I paid for has not been given, and no one has had the decency to call me back about it.

Review №27

Beware of their head coach Mikah Hammond, who coaches North girls team from level 5 and up. VERY emotionally abusive inadequate coach and person. Your child can be thrown out of the practice (for the entire practice, sometimes for days or weeks in a row while of course you continue to pay the bill) just because they didnt do their cast off the bar the way she wanted them to (without being given a second chance) or did their press-handstand too close to their friend.Our daughter started showing alarming signs of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) just short TWO months after moving up into Mikahs group. She started waking up with nightmares multiple times every night, some of them were very gory and disturbing (a couple of examples of her nightmares: coach Mikah slicing girls throats or lining them up and deciding whos to live and who is to die). We had to get professional help for her to help her overcome her PTSD. A year later, every now and then she still wakes up saying that she saw a scary dream about Mikah. Management is well-aware and is supportive of Mikahs coaching techniques. Since we left 5280, I have met at least 20 of other families who left 5280 because their children could no longer deal with Mikahs abusive coaching.One more thing: when my daughter switched over to another gym near by, 5280 kicked my son out (he too was on the team) because they have a siblings non-splitting policy with few gyms. It was awful and so unfair. He was heartbroken and quit gymnastics. I know of at least two more families whose sons were too kicked out when their daughters were forced to switch gyms because of Mikah.And finally, when I asked the manager Kim if she could offer his competitive uniform that was used just for one season to another family since my son was forced to leave 5280, she replied to me asking if I would remove my (negative) yelp review.
