DC Gymnastics & Tumbling

This place took some getting warming up to. Honestly I would’ve pulled my son out a long time ago if he didn’t love it so much.
The admin is a little off. They need a better receptionist. Though kind, she’s very unofficial. She would tell me one thing and then forget or not notify anyone else. Which isn’t good form for a business.
The owner was teaching the boys class for a while and he was perfect for the boys! He was a good leader for their short attention span but due to loss and growth he started teaching another class and Th boys now have Ryan. Ryan is knowledgable but not as patient with the boys. Which I get cause they’re high energy little boys but still. They need to cut the class size down.
I definitely say try a few classes to feel it out. My son loves it here but we aren’t trying to push for anything competitive.

I was in the competitive gymnastics team with DC at their old gym. I was doing level 5 and went to sectionals, at sectionals I got a 36 al around, I had met the state requirements, but not DC. They would not let me compete even though I had me the states requirements. I had then called SCEGA gymnastics and they said that they would take me. If you are looking for a non competitive gum this is a great one, but if you are looking for a competitive gym that will take you to state if you made the actual requirements I would definitely choose SCEGA

Bad business practice! My daughter’s enrolled in a once a week beg. gymnastic class, I called two weeks ago so I can inform them that she’ll be missing 2 classed r/​t to family vacation. Well– there was no answer after several attempts and I left a voicemail message about missing classes and inquiring about make up classes. NO ONE RETURNED MY CALL… Here we are at the front desk– inquiring about the situation and basically– #1– Blamed Verizon for not getting the message. #2– They do not offer make up missed classes (even though we called ahead of time to let them know) #3– We are on auto pay and when I asked about pro-​rating the fee– well, they don’t do that either! When I asked «front desk girl”(new employee) what are we suppose to do– feeling ripped off– she suggests (next time– we go on vacation) — «Dis enroll her, then re-​enroll her when we get back BUT– «We can’t guarantee you that she will still have that same day and time slot when you re-​enroll! «. WTH!!!
By the way, Dan the owner was by the front desk during the start of my inquiry — but hi only input was –«Oh– we were having problems with Verizon.» Then left the poor girl to fend for herself! I feel ripped off!!!

I can never get a hold of this place. I went there to enroll my three kids and was instructed to register them online at home. Went home and registered the kids and never heard back from them. I have called several times and just get their voicemail. The facility appeared nice but getting in seems impossible. I have given up.

My daughter has done gymnastics for two years in another state, came here and was very disappointed off the bat! They don’t challenge the kids at all and she is only 5! My daughter also missed two weeks because I having a stomach virus and we were not allowed to make it up at all so I lost out on $$ here! The young girl at the front desk has NO costumer service at all, when I said we will find a new place because of not being able to make up when she was sick she simply said «okay». I’m generous to give two stars only because her «coach» was good with the kids! Not worth your money or time, go somewhere else!

They are very nice and my girls love it there. They have been coming for a few months now and they are learning lots of fun activities.

We were looking for a place to take the kids (5 and 6) to gymnastics in the area. The three around are Cartwheels, Scega, and DC Gymnastics. We wanted a place that would actually teach our kids how to do gymnastics and was very hands on. We found Scega to be WAY to competetive for us and seemed to be more of a «way of life» then a fun time. Cartwheels was exactly the opposite. It looked more like a daycare center where the kids were just there to have fun with a lack of structure and they weren’t really learning proper techniques on things. The coaches seemed overloaded with kids as well.
DC Gymnastics was a great middle ground. Smaller class sizes so more hands on help. The instructors have been great with our kids. The coaches all seem to know what they are doing and are great at teaching you kid while keeping an eye on the others in the class. There are beginner classes for kids that want to learn all the way up to advanced classes where the kids are doing floor exercise routines to their music for competetions. When the coach feels your child is ready to move onto the next level (and they have a list of what needs to be accomplished), they will let you know and you can make the leap.
Our favorite thing about this place is, when you child does a something new for the first time they get to «ring the bell». When they do this, EVERYONE in the gym will stop to watch them perform their new accomplishment and applaud for them. Our kids are shy, but they were super excited when they get the chance to ring the bell.
Our son is more athletic and has excelled. My daughter struggles with physical activities, but she has been eager to learn and has come a long way with her balance and flexability. Both of the kids ask the coaches what they should practice at home and are excited to do handstands and cartwheels at home.
If you are looking for a gym feel for the kids to learn and have fun. I would highly suggest DC Gymnastics.

I love to bring my two kids here, the instructors are incredibly skilled and friendly. Also, they constantly maintain and update their equipments, so I know my kids are always using the safest and most advantage equipments.
Highly recommend this place as the owners are also very nice and have a great sense of humor.

The instructors are very hands-​on and sweet with the younger kids. I took my son to the toddler class age 2 ½ and under. He enjoyed it very much.
Unfortunately, when my younger son started to walk, I could no longer participate in the class with my older son. I wanted to move him up to the next level class where there is no parent participation needed (after he’s been in gymnastics for nearly 6 months and can follow directions), but the staff refused. They said it wasn’t a matter of skill level, but rather there wouldn’t be enough students in the class he was in to move him up — even though I recommended my friend (whose daughter is the same age as my son) and they allowed her to be in the next level class. This was clearly a double standard. When I expressed my concerns, I was told I should take a break from the class and come back in a few months.
I felt they had no customer loyalty to me. I’ve brought in my moms’ group to their Thurs. and Fri. free play sessions and had recommended them to others in the past. Still, they would not work with me.
Needless to say, I am planning on enrolling my boys in «Cartwheels» where I can have my younger in the parent participation class and my older in his own class — all at the same time! If D.C. isn’t willing to work with their long standing clients, then there are other gymnastics places in town who will.-
