Ultimate Gymnastics Of Gurnee LLC

UPDATE: We have been coming to this facility since my son was 1 — 7 years ago!!! It’s truly hard to believe.
Read my past reviews for more info than what I write here.
Well, we thought my older kiddo was done with gymnastics. We were wrong. We took one session off. Halfway through the next one, both kids asked when they could start gymnastics again. I guess they just needed a break. They continue to love the program here.
Having boys, it’s important the program isn’t cutesy. Oh the horror! But not here. They do pommel horse, rings, bar. Floor work. Handstands. You name it!
Over the years, we have had terrific coaches. We do appreciate having men as the dedicated coaches for the boys as they’ve gotten older and in dedicated boys classes.
They get a crazy workout that they love. They always end sweaty and happy.
Heads up! If you sign up a sibling for classes, you get a discount. e

Literally just got home from my sons 5^th birthday party and wanted to write a review right away. Ultimate Gymnastic was a great place to throw a party. The staff was nothing short of wonderful with the kids. The girls that were on staff that we helping knew ever single child’s name right away and remember ever name by the time they walked out the door. Easiest party I have ever thrown. I did not have to lift a finger from the minute I walked in the door to the minute I left. They set everything up, served pizza, cut the cake, served the cake, and cleaned everything up at the end. I give Ultimate Gymnastics 5 stars and will recommend them to everyone. The kids had so much fun in the bounce houses and especially swinging on the rope into the foam pits. Staff is wonderful and very organized! We will definitely be back! Thanks again for making my sons 5^th birthday memorable!

While the recreational gym program is great, this review pertains to the competitive team program. My gymnast did 3 gyms in 3 states. We’ve seen the worlds of heartless competitive drive, TOP/​Elite, booster clubs, etc.
Ultimate Gymnastics is THE gym to be.
1) The business model is professional: experienced coaches trained in their field as well as CPR, respectful, knowledgeable and helpful office staff, continuous improvements in the facility and programs.
2) The team program is phenomenal. The athletes who succeed at Ultimate are the team-​spirited, supportive, caring ones. They thrive under coaches who cheer on ALL the competitors at a meet. They learn to love the sport, develop physically & mentally, and become well-​rounded people.
3) Ultimate attends and hosts charity meets — if you haven’t been in the ‘other’ kind of gym, then you don’t realize how charity meets are the antithesis of the selfish pressure that can exist for a team to win prize money to ‘deserve’ new equipment.
I can’t say enough about Ultimate… It was hard to believe this «nice» gym (NO dietary restrictions, weigh-​ins, shouting coaches, required meets in far away areas aka «fly meets», mysterious level placements, and banning of parents from watching practice or speaking at meets) could get their athletes to high levels… but they do, and the athletes get to high levels with a strength of character they couldn’t get at those «tough» gyms.

My 9 year old son and 8 year old daughter really like it. The staff is very friendly.

Pro’s– Helpful Profesional Staff who seems to really care about the kids. Clean well cared for facility. Various levels are available for gymnasts of many ages. They have a traveling team available, they seem really proud of the achievements of the team. They have summer camps available, and you are able to rent the facilities for birthday parties. They also have inflatables for bouncing.
Cons’- $$$$ there are other’s cheaper in the area (but you get what you pay for). Sometimes the big gym has too many kids in it. It can get loud and sometimes looks over-​crowded.
