Cheer Athletics Chicago is hands down the BEST cheer gym out there! From the moment you walk through the doors, you feel the energy, passion, and dedication that makes this program so special. The coaches are truly incredible — they not only bring out the best in every athlete but also build confidence, discipline, and teamwork that carries far beyond the gym.
The training is second to none. The attention to detail, technique, and safety is unmatched, and the athletes are pushed to reach their full potential in a supportive, motivating environment. The facility is always clean, professional, and buzzing with positivity. It’s clear that CA Chicago’s focus is more than just a gym — it’s building a family.
What I love most is the culture. Athletes at every level are celebrated, from beginners just learning the ropes to elite competitors performing on the world stage. The sense of pride and unity is truly contagious.
If you want your child to grow not only as an athlete but also as a confident, resilient individual, CA Chicago is the place to be. We are so proud to be a part of this amazing program

It’s such a positive, encouraging environment, and we couldn’t be happier to be a part of this program!

We truly love being a part of Cheer Athletics Chicago! From day one, the coaches and owners have been so kind and welcoming. They’re also very open and transparent, which makes us feel so comfortable as parents. I really appreciate the quarterly meetings they hold with coaches, athletes, and parents — it shows how much they value communication and keeping everyone connected. The facility is amazing, but what stands out most is how much they care about each and every athlete. They celebrate even the smallest wins, and it means the world to see our kids supported and cheered on every step of the way. We couldn’t imagine being anywhere else! 💙🖤🤍

Cheer Athletics Chicago has been an incredible experience for my athlete. The coaches truly focus on growth—not just in skills, but also in confidence, teamwork, and personal development. From the moment we joined, we noticed the attention to detail in training and the way every athlete is pushed to reach their fullest potential while still feeling supported. The progress my athlete has made in a short time is amazing, and it’s clear the staff genuinely care about their athletes’ success both on and off the mat. The environment is positive, motivating, and professional. We couldn’t be happier to be part of the Cheer Athletics family!

We are so happy we made the switch to CA Chicago. Not only do the owners treat everyone like family, but my daughter is so excited to be a part of her team. The coaches are very understanding and supportive, and never use threats like some other places do. The culture being built is of such a positive atmosphere, and I will recommend CA Chicago to anyone looking for a great cheer and tumble organization.

From the moment we stepped into the gym at Open House there was no turning back.
My daughter and I were sold. The facility is new, clean, and constantly being improved and personalized. When kids get a new skill they get to sign the wall. It is so encouraging to see how much individual and collective progress is being made. This is a living, breathing, active environment where you can shape your future. It is welcoming. When you enter the front door Chris, one of the owners, greets you. It is encouraging. When you enter the gym there are inspirational quotes on the door. It is supportive. When you go to open gym there are several coaches to assist you. It is directional and purposeful. They actively work to have individuals and teams achieve their goals.
It is fun. Staff, coaches, parents can share a laugh, talk shop, and bond. It is safe, helmets are used for flyers, they have concussion training and staff and coaches are professional. It is caring. Need a hair tie, water, snack, encouraging word.. they got you. It is a family, literally and figuratively.
Owners Mel and Chris are almost always there. Daughter Kara is a coach and their younger two daughters are on teams. Even grandma and grandpa pitch in, keep things tidy, and are lovely people.
It is welcoming. When under stress like Jason, the director, during choreo week be able to joke and take it in stride. There is no yelling, screaming, belittling or put downs. They have a no bullying policy, they discourage gossip. They communicate. PCA meetings parents, coaches, athletes everyone is encouraged to attend. They utilize technology. They give out meeting notes soon after. There are no team moms to gate keep info. The owners are really transparent with their thought process and if they do not know they will look into and follow up. They are ahead of the game. They get uniforms orders in, schedules out and comp registrations in a head of schedule.
They are the future of cheer. The are exactly
what is needed to advance the sport. Welcoming, positive, organized, caring, supportive, results-oriented and feedback- driven. As you can see, I can not say enough good things!

My girls were entering their 6th and 7th seasons of All Star Cheer and we were looking for a change. We chose CA because of its Nationwide reputation in the cheer world. We were met with positivity and support from day one. My girls love their coaches and the owners are super present, involved and accessible. We couldn’t be happier at Cheer Athletics. I love everything but the black shoes 🤭 10 out of 10!

We made the switch from a gym in Chicago to Cheer Athletics this past spring and I could not be happier. I was skeptical if the drive from Lakeview to Bartlett would be worth it, but I can say, without pause, it has been absolutely worth every mile! Starting with ownership, Melissa and Chris. They are exceptional people who bring something truly unique to the cheer world. As both parents and business owners, they understand what families need. There is always a willingness to work with parents around the needs we have and it feels like a true partnership. A lot of other gyms have a "it's my gym, my rules" approach which is not what you will find at CA.
The coaches also standout as next level amazing in more ways than one. Every single coach we have interacted with genuinely has the athletes' best interests at heart. In cheer you are literally trusting the coaches with your child's life, and the CA coaches care for both my daughter's physical and mental health and the results have been obvious. My daughter has not only thrived athletically but has grown as a young person since joining. She goes in smiling and comes out with the same smile on her face. She has not uttered one negative word about Cheer Athletics, which for those of you have children in elite cheer, you can imagine how unheard of this is.
The positive transformation we've seen in our daughter since joining CA speaks volumes about the quality of coaching and the supportive environment they've created. If you're looking for a cheer gym that truly cares about developing the whole athlete, not just their skills, Cheer Athletics Chicago is the place to be.

I just wanted to send a quick shout out to say thank you for being such an awesome community! Between weekly recap emails and band posts after practices praising athlete’s effort, it is such a positive space! It’s so nice to see owners, coaches and everyone really rallying behind and supporting all these kids who work so hard. So thank you to all of you for making this second home of theirs inclusive, fun and challenging all at the same time. Y’all are 💯worth the drive!

This gym is absolutely amazing! From the moment you walk through the doors, you are greeted by owners who have already learned your name and welcome you as if you are family. The energy is always high and the staff truly care about every athlete, pushing them to be their very best while keeping it fun and positive. The facility is spotless, bright and filled with an atmosphere that motivates kids to work hard and believe in themselves.
In such a short time, I’ve already seen so much growth in confidence, skills, and teamwork. The athletes here aren’t just learning cheerleading—they’re building character, discipline, and lifelong friendships. If you’re looking for a gym that combines elite training with an uplifting community, this is the place. Hands down, the BEST cheer gym around! 💙

CA Chicago is such a supportive and amazing gym. My daughter loves cheer again, she fell out of love and out of heart for a sport that she loves due to an injury last season. She started going back to gym at CA at the end of last season slowly and felt the love from the owners/coaches/and athletes. They are such a caring place and want to develop a well rounded athlete. They’re making her senior year even been better by the care and compassion that they have shown already. She was sad to have to leave her old gym, and I am so thankful that she has found her heart in this gym. I cannot wait to cheer them all on this season!

Cheer Athletics Bartlett is the real deal. The coaches know how to push athletes to be their best while still making practice fun. The energy in the gym is always high, and the facilities are top-notch. Cheer Athletics is a big name in the cheer world, with a track record full of world titles and unbeatable skill training, and bringing it here to Illinois is super exciting. I can’t wait to see how the athletes grow and what they accomplish this year.

Change is hard. Moving to a new gym after 5 years was one we didn't see happening. When my daughter walked in to an open gym alone, the owner took her in and showed her around. She immediately felt a sense of belonging and comfort. Cheer Athletics Chicago is really doing it right. Business people running the business and cheer coaches/professionals running the cheer program. The owners Chris and Mel are wonderful people and it helps that they are cheer parents as well. They get it! Their communication is excellent. Emails get answered and answered quickly. They push out information as necessary and welcome feedback. They are really trying to make a difference in and out of the gym. The facility is awesome. The coaches are very nice and want to be at the gym. You can tell that they want to make the athletes the best they can be. Cheer Athletics Chicago makes you proud to be a part of their gym, which is quickly becoming so much more like a genuine cheer family. Change is hard, but sometimes worth it all in the end and look forward to our future years at Cheer Athletics Chicago.

Well, where do I start. We’ve been to a few different cheer gyms, and none compare to Cheer Athletics Chicago (Bartlett). Chris and Melisa (owners) are amazing, warm individuals who truly care about our kids and create such a supportive and welcoming environment. Cheer Athletics Chicago cares about everyone and no matter what questions you have they answer every time. All of their coaches are professionally trained athletes with years of experience, and it shows in the way they teach, mentor, and inspire. Our daughter recently had her first lesson with coach Johnathan. After the session, we were told she was taught stunts incorrectly and was using the wrong muscles which was very concerning, as improper technique could easily lead to injury.
This gym feels more like family and we are very happy that we found a place like this for our daughter to grow her cheer skills. If you’re looking for a gym where you feel like your family and not just a number…..this is it!!!!!! We couldn’t ask for a better gym! Thank you Cheer Athletics Chicago for being amazing to our kids!!!

A Truly Outstanding Cheer Gym
I cannot say enough positive things about Cheer Athletics Chicago. From the moment you walk through the door, you feel like you belong, and it's clear that the gym's slogan, "you belong here," is more than just words—it's a core value.
The owners, Chris and Mel, are simply the best. As parents themselves, they run the gym with an incredible level of professionalism and genuine kindness that creates a welcoming and supportive atmosphere for everyone. It's a place where families are truly valued.
The coaching staff is equally fantastic- the coaches are all incredibly positive, energetic, and encouraging. Their passion for cheerleading is infectious, and they create a fun yet challenging environment that helps every athlete grow and succeed.
The facility itself is always spotless and well-maintained, which shows how much pride Chris and Mel take in their gym. It's truly a first-class space.
If you're looking for a professional, supportive, and kind environment where your child can thrive, this is the place.

Cheer Athletics Chicago is the “best of the best” in the area. From the moment you walk in, you can tell that everything is top-notch. The facility is brand new, spotless, and perfectly designed to accommodate athletes of all levels. They have teams from Mini to Worlds Level 7. There is a level for everyone.
The organization is incredibly well-run, and the communication with parents is excellent—everyone is always on the same page and kept informed.
The coaches are not only professional but also highly skilled and passionate about the sport. They work with each athlete to help them reach their full potential while making sure every kid feels valued and part of the team. It's clear that Cheer Athletics is about building both skills and confidence in a supportive environment. Shout out to Coach Kennedy and Sophia!
It's truly an honor for any athlete to wear the Cheer Athletics logo, and the pride they instill in their athletes is something special. The training and resources they provide to their staff are second to none, which is why they are expanding successfully across the country.
If you’re looking for a gym that fosters growth, professionalism, and a sense of family, Cheer Athletics Chicago is the place to be! You Belong Here! 💙🖤💙🖤

We have been a part of 3 different cheer gym over the long term of my 3 daughters cheer career. I preface this with both me and my wife have high expectations being both prior college athletes. This gym hits several metrics on having a great culture, high level of training teaching the girls the correct forms and way to go about skills that don’t get them hurt, then the biggest is you see at other gyms they preach a family organization but it really happens here and was shown literally fast within our first year. If you are thinking about joining a top notch cheer organization this is the one you need to look at in the area.

"You belong here" isn’t just a slogan at Cheer Athletics Chicago it’s a genuine feeling that’s been true from day one. From the moment we walked into the gym, we were welcomed with open arms, and my daughter immediately felt like she was part of something special.
We began with private lessons while she was finishing her season at her previous gym, and right away, Jason made a lasting impression. Each session leaves my daughter feeling confident, encouraged, and excited about the new skills she is learning.
A huge thank you to Chris and Melissa for creating such a warm, supportive environment. You’ve given my daughter a safe space to grow, learn, and thrive in the sport she loves so deeply. Every coach we’ve met has been incredible, and the positivity throughout the gym is truly inspiring.
Thank you so much for everything we’re truly excited for the rest of our journey with Cheer Athletics Chicago. 💙🖤🤍

I can’t begin to say enough amazing things about Cheer Athletics Chicago (Bartlett). Honestly I don’t even know where to begin! Let’s start at the top with the owners, Melissa and Chris and the director Jason…they are so very welcoming, kind and knowledgeable. Coming into a new gym can be soooo nerve wracking but all three of them treat you like you have been part of their cheer family forever and a day! The customer service is gold! When I have a million questions and I’m sure can be a pain in the butt they are literally answering in a prompt manner and not making me feel like a bother which I appreciate more than I can say! The coaches I feel I have won the lottery with! Everyone of her team coaches are there for her and supporting her every step of the way as well as her privates coaches! Jonathan and Sophia have coached her for tumbling and are so encouraging and helpful! They have built up her confidence beyond belief! Coach Lexie is an amazing stretch coach and is making her flexibility dreams a reality, coach Tyler is a beast at coed stunting and she is so excited to get the opportunity to work with him! There is just so much amazing at this gym that I feel I can’t even put into words. I feel I am missing things as there is so much to brag about! This has just been an all around dream coming here and being apart of their first season. We are so lucky to have them here sharing their knowledge, kindness and mostly support with these athletes! 💙🤍🖤

As an athlete, a supportive community is so important to me. Cheer Athletics Chicago supports every one of their athletes in all kinds of ways, whether it be cheer life or everyday life. Each coach takes time to make sure they know all the athletes. Every staff member makes sure to greet everyone who walks into the gym and takes time to ask everyone about their day. I love being able to be offered amazing cheer opportunities here, but also personal growth opportunities as well.

Cheer Athletics Chicago is AMAZING.
The moment my daughter walked into this gorgeous new allstar cheer facility - which is superbly clean and decked out with top notch equipment - she fell in love. The culture embodies the CA brand messaging of “you belong here” and athletes and families are instantly made to feel like friends and family. This vibe is so important for the mental and physical health of young athletes and every single coach exudes warm, welcoming, professional, supportive and joyful energy.
In a short time, it is apparent that the results oriented Tumbling and skills training is top notch. The micro adjustments provided and multiple eyes on all athletes = success. My daughter is a strong athlete and with the support of her coaches she has confidently gained multiple skills she had been working on in a matter of weeks - she said the place is magical!
With all of the Great options we have for cheer programs, I also really love that the Location’s highway proximity makes it easy to get to from anywhere. ****ample parking is also great!!****
A few more key points - fantastic and comfortable parent viewing area, well stocked pro shop, incredibly responsive owners and great communication.

Cheer Athletics Chicago is truly something special. From the moment we walked through the doors, this place has felt like a second home. The owners are some of the most humble, genuine, and passionate people you’ll ever meet. Their love for the sport and their athletes radiates through every detail of the program.
The coaching staff is nothing short of phenomenal. These are elite professionals who bring both physical and psychological expertise to the mat. They don’t just train athletes...they mentor, motivate, and empower them! Whether it’s pushing for technical excellence or building mental resilience, the care and commitment they show to every athlete is unmatched.
My daughter had a major mental block from an injury. She landed her tuck...2 steps forward and a week later a step back had a block again...The gym owner Melissa and the coaches took time out to specifically sit down and talk with her. This already stood out to me because that is exactly the kind of care and attention you'll get at this gym. My daughter was back to throwing tucks and even more solid than before immediately after the talk. This melted my mommy heart because I want my daughter to learn the importance of positive self talk and they knew exactly how to mentor her and teach that.
If you're looking for a place where your child will be challenged, inspired, and truly cared for, Cheer Athletics Chicago is it. We’re beyond grateful to be a part of this incredible family.

From the moment we walked through the doors we knew we had found something special. The welcoming atmosphere is just awesome, and our whole family instantly felt right at home.
Chris and Melissa are absolutely incredible. Their genuine engagement with everyone is remarkable; they take the time to connect with families and create a truly welcoming environment. You can tell this isn't just a business for them – it's a passion, and they foster a wonderfully positive community.
The director and coaches are equally amazing. Every single person greets you with a smile, creating such an uplifting and supportive space. Our daughter absolutely loves being at Cheer Athletics Chicago and feels incredibly supported by everyone.
Her coaches are truly exceptional. They are not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, providing invaluable guidance, but they are also incredibly encouraging and believe wholeheartedly in their athletes. To us, this is everything. We are over the moon that we found a gym that strives to work with our daughter to make her goals and dreams come true.
So far she has personally worked with Jonathan and Jason, and in the short time since the gym has opened, our daughter has already learned and accomplished so much, gaining new skills thanks to the spectacular coaching, support, and encouragement she receives.
We are beyond grateful that Cheer Athletics Chicago has opened in our area. It's more than just a cheer gym; it's a place where our daughter feels empowered, supported, and truly belongs. We wholeheartedly look forward to being a part of the Cheer Athletics Chicago family for many years to come! 💙🖤🤍

Our daughter is thriving at CA Chicago!
Honestly, we're absolutely thrilled we found Cheer Athletics - Chicago. If you're looking for a great cheer gym in the Chicago area, this is it. My daughter has only been there a short while, and she's already picking up new cheerleading skills like crazy and has made a bunch of new friends. She actually loves going, and I know a huge part of that is how genuinely welcoming and supportive everyone is.
From a dad's perspective, I'm really impressed with how Melissa and Chris run things. The place is organized, always clean, and they are clearly serious about safety – which is a big deal for any Chicago cheer program. It just feels like a really positive and solid environment for the kids to learn and grow.
And I've got to give a big shout-out to Coach Jason and Coach Jonathan. These guys are fantastic cheer coaches. They really know their stuff, and it's amazing to see how much my daughter's confidence has shot up. She's learning a ton, and her excitement for cheer is back and stronger than ever.
Seriously, we couldn't be happier with our choice. If you're on the hunt for a top-notch cheer program in Chicago where your kid will get great coaching and be in a supportive atmosphere, you definitely need to check out Cheer Athletics - Chicago. We highly recommend them!
