American Kids Sports Center

I give this gym 5’s stars because it has improved over and over every time I come here. I could remember back in the days when they didn’t have this facility yet. I’m glad the owners invested more money and a way better building.
My nephew competes in the California T&T and they always host an event at their facility. I love how well thought out this gym is. There’s something for everyone.
The reason for 5 stars;
*Very clean & well designed gym
*Love how they have their own café.
*Love how big the Windows are to see your kids practice while enjoying something to eat or maybe study.
*Upstairs have I believe 3 or 4 dance rooms.
*They also have a great view of the gymnastic area from up top. You can see the whole gym floor.
*A gym to work out from with a huge mirror to watch your kid practice.
*Swimming pool for swimming lessons.
*They have a great cheerleading program in all ages.
Over I always have a great experience when I come here and I’m glad to see this business succeed in the community.

This place is wonderful! Our kids love it here! They do gymnastics and swimming! They are excited to come here every time! The coaches are great with the kids and most importantly our children are comfortable with them! If you have not brought your kids here– you should!

What a wonderful facility. My son is 4 and is part of the Tumble Tots gymnastic class. He has a great time during his 45-​minute session every week. Even better– I get a 25 $ discount because he goes in the middle of the day. (Regular classes are pretty pricy though!)
He’s been to a month of classes, and I am impressed with how they incorporate colours, shapes, and numbers into physical fitness. The teacher seems to be very respectful of every child’s ability, and no child seems to get discouraged or overly frustrated. I love being able to watch my son through the glass from the lobby!
I’m definitely impressed with AKSC, and hope to see my son blossom in gymnastics!

¹⁰⁄₁₀ totally past advance and excell

All Star program at AKSC is below par when you consider some offered in Southern California. The coaches down there genuinely care for the cheerleaders. They encourage and coach the kids, not demean or belittle them. They do events that promote team building. There COACHES truly, truly care about the kids and not just about how their team can beat another gyms.
Adding Mike Williams to this years program will help it immensely. He’s a great businessman. He needs to know how the children are taught in his gym. I believe once he does, he will see why numbers have dropped this season.

My little girl Mj is in level one gymnastics.
They have done a great job. Highly recommend to all parents.

Two of my grandsons are in their gymnastics program and they are fully engaged in the program and as grandparents we really have found that this is something both of them like a lot. Our oldest never seemed to show any interest in sports until my daughter enrolled him in gymnastics and he just took off. Now he is on their competitive team and can’t wait to go to classes that are 3 times a week and they have regular competitions too.
This facility is quite amazing to see how they handle the amount of kids they funnel through in a day when we have had to take the boys to their class and we stay to watch it is just so organized and a large facility with all different activities going on at different times, we are just impressed how well oiled that machine is.
When we attended one of the competitions they hosted, it was also impassive how they are able to wrangle all these kids to do all these different events in such a timely and organized manner. All with the cheering and loud music being blasting (which don’t get me wrong it gets everyone excited) they do it and judge it so quickly. Teams go here, then teams go there and wow scoring is done and off to your next event. Kudos for such a well organized event.
I can’t give them 5 stars because I think even that the coaches have been awesome in helping my shy grandson build his confidence and the sports are great for both the boys it just is super pricey when they start selling your kid into the competition team and adding jump fees to the monthly bill. Great programs just need to try to keep it more affordable for parents especially ones with multiple kids.
Also the parking is HORRIBLE.

Little Dragons rock! 2.5−3’s love Taekwondo! My Colby is learning discipline and getting exercise while exploring defense!

Knowledge of staff is iffy. Get told one thing by one staff member then complete opposite from another. They changed the schedule with 24 hr notice. Paid extra for frequent swim (40 and you can bring to any class in your child’s swim level) AS LONG AS you sign up the day before 2pm. Did they tell me that when I paid the extra at reception? Nope. So I kept getting denied.
Swim instructors in the afternoon are mostly teens and are looking at the clock nonstop and yawning. Sometimes letting your little one under too long. One of them did this to my son and he didn’t want to come back because she yelled at him when he gave me thumbs down meaning he wasn’t ok.
There are a couple really good instructors. Jen and Brady are beyond amazing. Jen can get just about any scared kid swimming. Brady has the patience of a god. I wish he was a babysitter outside of here. Brady-​if you ever change your mind ;) I’m hiring. My son absolutely loved him. They are the only reason this place gets as many stars.
Parking can be horrid. It’s not unheard of that your 30 min class has 3 – 4 kids meaning your kid gets 10 actual min of swimming. More than anything they need to train their staff to know the same rules so they don’t give incorrect information and cost the parents time and money. Not to mention (although this is not as important), they also charge for tap water at the snack bar.

The boys gym coaches are great! My super shy son is excelling on the team and becoming more confident. It is a crazy zoo in the evenings but I do love the coaching.

For sure! American Kids Gym is great for birthday parties and I might even have a few of my kids birthday parties here. They have so much to do here; from gymnastics, dancing and even swim lessons.
Kids had a great time today and that’s all that matters and American Kids Gym really corners the market on Bakersfield activities for kids.

We love American Kids! Best gymnastics facilities in town with very high-​level coaching. Both of our daughters have participated in gymnastics and swimming and we have been very satisfied.
The parent night out events are also a great time for children and parents alike.

Had my son’s birthday party here and a 14 – 15 year old boy was in charge of the activities and a lethargic teen girl was in charge of the party (cake and presents). We did most of the work and the «supervisor» was not friendly/​helpful at all. Overall worst party ever. Pump it up is way better! The last time we had my sons party here it was great but, after this last experience NEVER AGAIN!!!
