My son has been training 1-on-1 with Coach Brandy, and the improvement has been amazing. She understands his strengths and challenges, pushes him in all the right ways, and keeps him motivated. His confidence, form, and love for gymnastics have grown so much. We highly recommend her!

We started out in fundips, then mid-season, then to prep and now our family has 2 elite cheerleaders and we also have another daughter that's done ninja warrior and dance/theater here and everyone has been great! We love our AKS family... The directors Jason and Ashley are amazing as is She-She, and coaches like... Ruby, Baileigh, Taco, Princess, Billie and Paige. Also Jason wrote a book and if your considering joining cheer check out "Upside down and back again A parents guide to All Star cheer" By Jason Larkins

Our daughter has been training under Coach Melissa A., and the level of care, precision, and passion she brings to each class is truly exceptional. From perfecting handstand alignment to refining tumbling form, Coach Melissa’s technical eye and patient instruction keep our daughter both challenged and excited to learn.

There has been no let-up in attention to detail—Melissa continuously encourages proper body mechanics, safe landings, and mental focus. What stands out most is her ability to make every gymnast feel seen and supported. After each class, she even takes the time to provide a thoughtful summary of progress and next steps, which we truly appreciate.

We recently learned about the Punch Pass program that allows for added training sessions—and we’re eager to increase our daughter’s frequency at this incredible facility!

We have been a part of American Kids Sports Center for the past 8 years, first in gymnastics and then in All Star Elite Cheer. Watching our daughter gain confidence, grow as an athlete, and thrive under the guidance of amazing coaches has been such a rewarding experience. AKSC offers so much for children of all ages, creating a supportive and positive environment for every stage of their development. We highly recommend it for any family looking for a place where their kids can learn, grow, and achieve!

We've been doing Tumble classes with my almost 2 year old for about 6 months. There is a huge focus on the competitive sports and not much else. I understand a couple of toddlers probably doesn't contribute as much as the bigger classes but everyone starts somewhere. The toddlers enjoy the class so much. It would have been wonderful if AKSC would spend some time developing their coaches that start with the younger children.

In my experience the coaches from the competitive/older kids classes are just rude. Last week a meeting was being held for a very large group upstairs in the room infront of our Tumble class. We couldn't get through. The coach did not stop the meeting to let us, or other parents pass, or have his parents move out of the way for us to get into our class. I went to talk to the young lady at the front desk who told me I just needed to push my way through.

When the toddlers are taken downstairs for the last 5 minutes of class to jump on the trampoline there is usually someone much more advanced jumping right next to them. It's just not safe or right for the parents in the toddler class to feel like we are in the way.

Amazing place!!! My daughter takes level one gymnastics at 6 PM with Coach Renee. She is an amazing coach !!! She has completely changed our baby girls life. Our Daughter is autistic and coach Renee made her feel welcome from the start. ..We can’t thank her enough !!! We have seen her confidence, physical and motor abilities improve / sky rocket! Our daughter looks forward to gymnastics with her coach . This place is a 10/10 for inclusivity. I always recommend AKSC to all our family and friends. If your child needs a little confidence boost this is the place( ask for coach Renee)!

I'm giving 5 stars for the amazing coach my daughter's have. Renee is so awesome. She really is supportive and in tune with the kids. She doesn't push the kids to do something when they aren't ready, she allows them to do it on their time. She is also easy to talk to and very down to earth and personable. My daughter's adore her and refuse to take any other classes unless Renee is their coach.

The man subbing for Coach Renee was rude to my daughter, he would signal her out, embarrass her & he made the experience not fun for her whatsoever, there’s a difference between being a coach and being a bully. He should stick to helping men in the gym, not coaching a gymnastics class for 7 year old girls.

Agree with other parents! Lots of hidden fees & during the holidays they close ninja classes for several weeks and they don’t allow your kids to attend during that time. You can however sign your kids up for holiday camps that are ridiculously expensive! It’s just a cash grab and not fair for many of us parents because my son is 3 so even if I wanted to put him in a class or 2 during those weeks they are “closed” I can’t because camps are for ages 4 and up. I had called and asked during the Christmas break if I wouldn’t be charged those 2 weeks that they close ninja classes. Nope still charged the SAME $146 I always pay on a regular month. Decided to cancel in January because that was really upsetting and the receptionist on Allen Rd was extremely rude on the phone! For the amount of money we pay the least thing we deserve is good customer service. AKSC is very expensive compared to other places but I liked that it catered to 3 year olds which is why I signed up back in June. Also when I made the decision to cancel in January my sons ninja class we received make up tokens for the month and when I tried to use one we got denied because he was no longer active in the class…..WHY GIVE US THE MAKE UP TOKENS THEN??? It was a really hard decision despite all that because Coach Jonathan is an AMAZING coach and my son really enjoys his classes.

Good place for the kids to get out some energy and learn gymnastics, cheerleading, karate, or just how to bounce. It does get full, so staying to watch can be difficult....but overall, neat facility and fun staff
