Our family has been with Bay City for over 10 years and it has had an enormous impact on my daughter. From the very first class to the final competition, Bay City has been more than just a gymnastics facility. It’s been a second home, a safe place and a foundation for growth.
The coaches at Bay City are the heart of the gym. They are not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but they are also compassionate mentors who truly care about the kids they train. They recognized my child’s potential, even when she couldn’t see it herself, and they helped her grow not just as a gymnast, but as a leader, teammate, and young adult.

I wanted to share some thoughts about our experience at Bay City Gymnastics, and I hope it’s clear this message comes from a place of reflection — not frustration. Our son last attended a class about seven months ago, after which we were informed he would no longer be able to participate. We've had some time to think it through, and I wanted to offer feedback in the spirit of open communication.
We enrolled our 3-year-old with the hope that gymnastics would be a fun way to help him manage his energy and learn new skills. Like many toddlers, he sometimes had trouble listening or staying fully engaged during class. When that happened, he was occasionally pulled out early — which, while tough for him emotionally, we understood was part of the learning process. We supported the idea that he needed to follow instructions in order to continue participating.
There was one class in particular where he really seemed to thrive — he listened well, participated, and left feeling proud of himself. We were hopeful that things were turning a corner. Unfortunately, the day before his next scheduled class, we received a call — not from the owner or manager, but from a junior staff member — informing us that he would no longer be allowed to attend due to concerns about safety and listening. When I mentioned his progress in the previous class, the response was awkward silence.
We were surprised and disappointed by this decision. We had been happy to pay full price, even when he was occasionally pulled from class early. We weren’t asking for special treatment — just some patience and a chance for him to grow in a supportive environment.
Since that time, we’ve learned that our son is autistic (Level 1), which often includes traits like hyperactivity and attention challenges. While we didn’t have this diagnosis during his time at the gym, we now understand his behavior better — and we hope that sharing this might offer some perspective.
One other thing I feel compelled to mention: throughout our time at the gym, I couldn’t shake the impression that the environment seemed more tailored toward girls than boys. From the branding and communication style to the general classroom dynamic, it often felt like active boys — especially those who don't immediately follow every instruction — didn’t quite fit the mold of what was expected or welcomed.
It’s clear that Bay City Gymnastics is best suited to children who are already able to follow directions consistently. That’s totally fine — but it would be helpful if that expectation was made clearer upfront, especially for parents of younger or neurodivergent children.
I hope this feedback is received in the spirit it's intended. While our experience was disappointing, we’ve since learned to look for a place where our son is supported and thriving. For families with kids who don’t fit a typical mold, I’d gently recommend looking elsewhere for a more inclusive environment.

Our experience when we did attend last year was very good, we haven’t been able to get in touch with anyone about re enrolling though.

I was here for two years and did the same things for about two years I didn’t learn anything at this place we would continue to do the same thing over and over and it got to the point where I didn’t want to go anymore if your child is in the beginner level and they are older they are most likely going to be bored I did not like this place I missed a lot of days because I really didn’t want to go we barely stretched if we ever did and all we did was basic level skills that a lot of the girls knew and rarely moved anyone up.I did go to this place about a year ago they may have changed but when I was their we didn’t do anything the older beginners did the same things as the 5-6 year olds.

We are finishing our second year with Bay City and we could not be happier. Both my kids have learned so much about how to move with their bodies. It has been a great experience and look forward to returning!

If your child loves gymnastics and you want your child to succeed in this sport I don't recommend you take her here. The coaches are below average.
My granddaughter transfered here from another gym only to be discouraged and lose her love of the sport because the coaches. Very disappointed! Perfect example of a gym mill.

My daughter attended Bay City for about a year and a half. This place is a gymnastics mill. The instructors change constantly so they never recognize your child's skills. So, she was "learning" the same thing her last day there that she was her first - a year and a half later! She didn't progress, she just kept doing the same stuff she was bored with week after week. It got to the point where she didn't want to go - and this is a child who LOVES gymnastics. Final straw was when she learned to do her back walkover at home and showed her teachers at the next class. I asked what they said, and her answer was, "they didn't care." We finally transferred to another school and the difference is amazing. She's back to being happy when we pick her up for gymnastics and is learning so much more.

My son went here for 2 yrs and it was more like ninja warrior training then gymnastics. They definitely do not take the boys as serious as the girls in terms of traing and competing.
