Review for Rec Gymnastics only -
This gym is MILES ahead of another reputable Anchorage gym, in my opinion. Staff at the front desk has been knowledgeable and friendly, and there is a useful parent portal. Most importanly, the coaches I briefly observed seem to be engaging the young gymnasts, correcting them, encouraging them and getting visibly excited when a student succeeds at something they struggled to get. There even seems to be some sort of formal testing schedule to keep track of rec gymnasts' progress (total shocker for me as I never even had any idea of whether my daughter is truly any "good" at gymnastics at all after a year at another gym as she or I heard ZERO feedback ).I moved my 6 year old here out of desperation as she has been challenging herself more at a school playground than at the old gym, and it has been by far the best decision we made all year. So far my kid has been at AGA Rec for only 1 month and the difference it made is significant - finally she is COACHED and gets to do new things that are fun for her. Huge shoutout to coaches Leah and Ned for this and to the owners who hire such professional staff.

ETA: my child ended taking classes here October -May, Rec 2 and 3. Then we moved out of state and she joined a team and had a fantastic season, and I still credit a ton of that success to AGA as she literally almost quit rec after wasting so much time at another gym where no one seemed to care. Maybe it's luck and there are good and bad coaches everywhere but I watched dozens of practices at AGA and never saw anything outrageous. I even observed an 8-10 year old rec kiddo throw a massive screaming fit and everyone handled it as well as humanly possible. Keep up the good work, guys!

My daughter goes to the summer sports camp, rec gymnastics, and the after school program. We love this place and my daughter does too. The summer coaches do great keeping the kids busy with swimming, field trips, and going to the park. We are beyond blessed by this place and look forward to seeing my daughter grow up in here.

They seem to have a good amount of equipment, but very lack luster with their recreational class'.
Unfortunately, I made the decision to take my toddler out of small fry 'gymnastics' after watching the facility assign young teenagers 'teach' the children. Instead of teaching I saw alot of gossiping/talking among the young 'instructors' and even one get on her phone while watching children as young as 4.
It's very sad to see how much attention they give towards their competition teams and the lack of effort towards recreational. Take your money elsewhere.

Our child was enrolled for the 'Small Fry' class and upon her first day she spent the first half of her class doing what could only be referred to as 'free play' instructed by a middle schooler (owner's daughter) and not given any technical instruction. The two adolescent instructors spent the entire time gossiping. The second half of class the other adolescent instructor took the kids to the floor and began two lines of backwards somersaults one of which was unassisted and there was no spotter. This was alarming as these kids are very young and doing such a maneuver unassisted seems very precarious. The kids were struggling on their own and there was no order, it was chaotic. We respectfully inquired about a cancellation explaining that the class was not what we were looking for (technical instruction for gymnastics) and respectfully requested a refund to which the owner was curt and unprofessional and told me that they were unable to refund me and they "will be moving onto the next person". :/ its a roll of the dice with this one - you've been warned.

It is a great facility. Some of the coaches are very patient and dedicated. However, you should watch. Some of them are rude, mean, and unprofessional. Specially the lower level trainers. They are not trained to work with young kids.

I love how everyone is so friendly and all the kids help each other out. The cost is great also.

AGA has definitely set the bar high for us. Teaching my daughter discipline, strength, and the skills she needs to become successful gymnast. Sadly, we had to move away to a smaller gym, and I can’t help but compare the two. AGA hands down has a fantastic program, pushes and challenges each individual. Coaching staff are all knowledgeable, and top notch! We truly miss our AGA family. I wish everyday, we could of packed coach Tere up, and moved her with us!

My daughter had a lot of fun here but when I signed up, they had the option of having make up days for the days your kiddo missed their regular day/time. A couple months in, they stopped allowing that and when my daughter was sick for 3 weeks, they had no sympathy for her. They refused allowing makeup days and wouldn’t prorate that month. I asked if they at least had open gym to which they didn’t. So I just canceled because I don’t have $90 a month to just give away and they decided to charge my debit card for the $90 for that last month. Then had the audacity to send an email stating that it’s protocol to charge my card after cancellation. Which is fine but how are you not even going to warn the customer in case they don’t have the money sitting in their bank? It would have been nice to pay with credit instead. Terrible customer service and very disappointed.

AGA has been a great place and environment for our child to grow and learn. They did an excellent job preparing our child for Kindergarten with their Pre-K and Pre-school programs. The staff and teachers are an absolute pleasure to deal and speak with. I would highly recommend them, it is also a great plus that the facility is family run and it shows!

My younger sisters participated in AGA's programs and enjoyed the structure, the staff and the environment. The encouragement and positivity exudes from this place the moment you walk through the doors.

For me AGA was a great experience when I first moved to Alaska from Australia it was a hard weather change for me and I was nervous but the girls made me feel like I was at home. The bond between the team was a family and its something you can't forget. The coaches were amazing they pushed me to be the best that I was. There were some off days but they still helped me through it.

I saw the other review and just had to counter! My youngest attended Pre-K here and she's only 4 and she is already reading sight words! It's amazing. I gave it only 4 stars, and not a perfect 5 because they do not have a food program and yet their costs are level with others that do. But what my daughter has gained in preparation for school is totally worth it! So, otherwise I'm thrilled the kids get physical exercise options in the winter when it is cold! I'd tell any parent to jump on their childcare program here! I'm a YES!
