Phoenix Gymnastics & Dance Academy

My son (4 years old) recently enrolled in the Mighty Mites 1 class on Wednesday evenings. This is conveniently located near his preschool. Mostly a fun energy release plus he loves dancing and jumping/​flipping around at home. No interest in really getting him involved in competitions or anything but he seems to like the class and his instructor. The bad news is this place is super busy all the time with limited parking and it’s standing room only… pretty much everywhere. With multiple classes at once and one class ending 5 minutes before the next class starts, it’s difficult for everyone to gather their child, head towards the door, and leave in an orderly fashion so the next group of parents can park and get in on time. Wish that part could be rectified but a couple of 6 week sessions will be fun and beneficial for him.

Treated my family horrible. We will NEVER be back. And they are anti breastfeeding. Find a studio that treats kids like people! Also beware! It is unsafe and not well monitored.

My son is enrolled in coach Justin’s class. Justin has great patience with the kids, and my son being the cautious child that he is really appreciates that. We love coach Justin and Miss Alexis, they have a great impact on my boys confidence.
I also work at Phoenix Gymnastics Academy and as a teacher admire the skills that these two workers have with the kids. It’s all about building confidence and the children having a good time while getting active!

I have been taking my 5yr old son here for a year and we love it! He just signed up for a second class and now he goes twice a week.

Great staff/​coaches but the viewing area for the parents is horrible. It is almost impossible to get a seat. it gets 2 crowded and most of the time you have to stand to watch, especially when your child is enrolled in a 2 hour class.

Well I hate to do this… But I have to update this…
My children no longer go here… for two reasons… The teachers that are teaching the Gymnastics just let them run around and don’t provide the teaching I would like to see. I am not sure what happened to the other teachers or what is going on as it used to not be like this… However my daughter has flopped off the bars several times with out a teacher even noticing. Doesn’t spend time with them to teach them or correct them.
Lastly the waiting room is by far is the worst!!! No air!!! no seats!!! Even Leslie at the front desk needs air. It is horrible. The baseboards are coming up in the waiting room. Chairs are broken. It really needs some attention.

I have two children enrolled at this location.
My 6 year old is in the combo dance class with Aimee. We love Aimee! She is great. Very upbeat and def. knows what she is doing. My daughter really enjoys the class and what they are learning. She takes the time to make sure all students are learning and enjoying the class.
My 4 year old daughter is in aqua tots in gymnastics. They are so fun and take the time to teach her when she needs it. Very fun and upbeat. She loves this class.
Leslie is amazing at the front desk. She is on top of everything and def. knows her job.
I have called several times and have talked to several different people and everyone has been extremely helpful and polite.
I have met the owner once… didnt even know it was the owner until I went home and saw their picture on the website. She is very friendly and interacts with the children. She knows her teachers very well. Love to see an owner heavily involved with their business.
The ONLY reason I am not giving this 5 stars is due to the viewing rooms/​areas are really bad. When you have children like mine that WILL look for you to make sure you just saw that cool move they just learned you better be there and ready with a thumbs up. — I am sure this will fade as we continue these classes however getting a spot where you can see is VERY HARD! Also upstairs is always HOT!

Great place… coaches are stern but likeable. Not the best parking or room in viewing area but still great!

The men’s team coach is one of the best around. He is a strong coach and qualified to Judge Men’s Gymnastics at the National level. He can create strong gymnasts without the ranting that most gymnastics coaches do. Not that he isn’t tough because he is, but he has the right perspective and so while creating great gymnasts he has a happy team that wants to go to the gym so they can be with their coach. Way to go.
