One of the best gymnastics centers! My daughter started coming here when she was around 4 years old- Did gymnastics for 3-5 years olds and then we took a little break, signed up somewhere else and absolutely saw the difference. We came back to tumbling with Coach Brittany and Coach Andy who are amazing. We are now in tumbling 2 (6 year olds) and couldn’t be happier !!!

My daughter has been attending Gemstone for the past two years, and we couldn’t be happier! The facility is clean, bright, and well-maintained, with age-appropriate equipment that ensures safety and growth while still being fun. The staff members are incredibly friendly and skilled at working with young children, making every session engaging and enjoyable. The coaches are fantastic—patient, encouraging, and great at breaking down skills in a way that kids can understand. They focus on building confidence and fundamental movement skills first and foremost while keeping the energy high. My daughter has improved significantly in strength, coordination, and flexibility, all while having a blast…

Love how many class times are available. The teachers are all great! One of the best parts is that you get a free makeup token if you miss a class which is super helpful.

We love Gemstone and have had our kids enrolled for the last 4 years. It is such a positive environment and the coaches are amazing and make each class a fun experience for my kids! In addition to all of the fun, my kids gymnastics skills have grown so much over the course of our time at Gemstone. You can tell that the coaches and staff are invested in growing the kids skills, confidence, and teamwork!

We love Gemstone Gymnastics! The coaches are kind and encouraging, and the staff is always helpful with such a positive energy. The gym is clean, and the whole environment just feels welcoming and upbeat. You can tell the kids are genuinely happy to be there. Also, they offer makeup days that never expire and can even be transferred to a sibling, which is so helpful for busy families.

My child loves his classes and has improved so much in his gymnastics skills — all THANKS to Coach Taylor, Coach Britnie, Coach Kristen, and Coach Miles! They’re truly awesome! We highly recommend Gemstone to any parent looking for a flexible, fun, and supportive gymnastics program!

Really great gymnastics studio for all ages. Our daughter did baby bears where a parent was with her and now is in toddler bears where it’s her and the instructor and she does great. It’s a low ratio of instructors and kids so they get good attention and have fun. The staff are all super nice, too. I appreciate their make up policy where if you miss (letting them know in advance) you get a make up token to use whenever. They also do a date night event every month where you can drop off for a couple hours. Highly recommend!

Our two-year-old daughter has been in Miss Jackie’s Toddler Bears class for eight months now and we can’t recommend her enough! She’s friendly, engaging, and the perfect teacher for toddlers who can be a bit slower to warm up.

We’ve seen our daughter completely flourish in her time at Gemstone and I know that’s due in large part to having someone like Jackie as her teacher. We love the structure and routine of the Toddler Bears classes and appreciate that it mixes in open play time as well. The facility is clean, absences and makeups are super easy to manage in their Parent Portal, and communication/customer service has always been fantastic.

Thanks to our initial experience with Miss Jackie, I’m sure we’ll be a part of Gemstone Gymnastics for quite a while!

We've been coming to Gemstone for over a year now and our daughter has loved being part of Gemstone's Pre-team. Everytime we walk in, it feels so comforting to be recognized and remembered like valued members of the team. The coaches have poured a lot into our kids and it shows thru their growth in skills and confidence. Shout out to Coach Miles for always providing a safe and fun environment that Indie feels empowered to learn new skills and have fun!

Gemstone is always so accommodating in every way and I feel they really do their best to serve the families that come here.

We’ve had such a great experience at Gemstones Gymnastics! Our 4-year-old daughter absolutely loves Coach Miss Sierra. She’s incredibly patient and comes up with creative, fun routines that keep each class fresh and exciting. We’ve seen so much improvement in our daughter’s balance, her ability to share, and wait her turn—huge wins at this age! It’s also been awesome to see the growth in all the kids around her. Highly recommend!

Coming to Gemstone has been a total game changer for our daughter. After years at a competitor, our daughter was struggling with even basic things like cartwheels. Within the first few sessions Gemstone she had them down and was working on new skills. Years later and that hasn’t slowed down. Incredible coaches and staff have made this gym our family and have developed by daughter into an incredible gymnast who shows no signs of slowing down.

We absolutely love Gemstone Gymnastics! Ms Kayla truly understand how to work with young children. She is patient, enthusiastic, and creates a warm, welcoming environment that makes every child feel comfortable and excited to participate. The class is well-structured with just the right balance of fun and learning for our 3 year old. Our daughter has been developing better coordination, balance, and confidence each week. It’s amazing to see how much progress she’s made while still having a blast. We also appreciate how the class encourages social interaction, listening skills, and following simple instructions — all in a playful, encouraging atmosphere. It’s a highlight of our week and something our child looks forward to every time. Highly recommend this class to any parent looking for a fun and healthy activity for their toddler!

5 Stars – Highly Recommend!

Gemstone Gymnastics has been an absolutely wonderful experience for our family! My daughter absolutely loves her teacher Ms. Kayla— she’s not only incredibly skilled and patient but also brings so much energy and encouragement to every class. It’s been amazing to watch my daughter grow in both confidence and ability since she started.

The classes are always fun and engaging, and the environment is super welcoming for kids of all ages and skill levels. Every week, my daughter looks forward to going and never wants to leave when class is over!

One of the things we really appreciate is how often Gemstone hosts fun events — from themed gym days to holiday celebrations and mini-performances, there’s always something exciting going on. It’s such a great community, and we feel lucky to be a part of it.

If you’re considering gymnastics for your child, I can’t recommend Gemstone Gymnastics enough!

My daughters have been going to Gemstone for a few months now and we love it! My oldest daughter is in the Ninja Bears Class with Ms. Courtney! This class is perfect for my very high energy girl and she loves doing the obstacle courses at a fast pace and her favorite thing is getting to run up the Ninja wall! My youngest daughter is in the 3yr old Gem Bears class with Ms. Lauren! She also loves doing the obstacle courses and always comes home and practices her new skills! Gemstone truly has a perfect set up and great flow that keeps my girls engaged! I also love that each week Gemstone has a special theme they focus on with an added element of learning that is weaved into each class! I definitely recommend Gemstone if you are looking to get your little ones into gymnastics or ninja classes!

When my daughter was an infant I searched all over for activities she could do under a year old and Gemstone was the one place that popped up. The staff are all so friendly and remember every kids name literally the first class I couldn’t believe it. My daughter learned so much and advanced in her skills so quickly. The classes are small and a different cycle of activities are set up each week that vary in difficulty. Since each class has an age range I love that my daughter can learn from the older kids as well. She has so much fun there it’s the best day of the week for us!

There’s so much to say. I’ll start with this. Sure the gymnastics is INCREDIBLE and my kids are learning and growing. But what really impresses me is their ability to navigate the social emotional needs of all their participants with thoughtful, compassionate, caring tact. Sure. Social emotional challenges show up everywhere - I’ve watched time and time again these coaches support kids in a calm and thoughtful way that shows they are top notch. We’ve been to other gyms that seem
Oblivious to these developmental needs of kiddos. So yes - the gymnastics growth is great but the icing on the cake is the way they are with our kiddos. It almost matters more to me. We’ve been here for four years. 18 mos to 6 years old!

As if I didn’t have enough reasons to love and appreciate Gemstone Gymnastics and everything they have done for Kevin, then they ONCE AGAIN display such intentionality in their programming. I have shared before….but I will again….Gemstone really was one of the first places that recognized Kevin’s uniqueness and learning differences, celebrated them, and came up with methods to challenge and grow him. They hold him accountable, and have high expectations, but they have NEVER stopped believing in him. The positive steps made at Gemstone spilled over into the rest of his life, including school. He is still learning and growing, but so is Gemstone, dedicated to professional development that improves their programming and their abilities to serve their students. THANK YOU GEMSTONE! Kevin is the person he is today BECAUSE OF YOU! #inclusionmatters

We absolutely love Gemstone Gymnastics! Our son has been part of their ninja programs for a while now, starting with Ninja Bears and now in Ninja Gymnastics, and he’s always excited to go. The coaches are energetic, positive, and really know how to engage kids while helping them build confidence, coordination, and strength in a fun, structured environment.

He’s also participated in their Ninja Games, which are a blast—creative, well-organized, and a great way for the kids to challenge themselves and cheer each other on. We’ve seen so much growth in his skills and self-esteem thanks to the supportive and encouraging atmosphere at Gemstone.

We want to give a special shoutout to Coach Camille, Coach Roxanne, and both Coach Andys—they’ve all played such an important role in making our son’s time at Gemstone so positive and memorable.

Highly recommend for any parents looking for a place where their child can be active, build skills, and have fun doing it!

Update:
It’s been over one year now that we’ve been going to Gemstone and we still have wonderful things to say about this place. My son has had three regular coaches now (Coach Miles, Coach Andy, and Coach Jillian) and they have all been so amazing! They have been so patient yet encouraging with my son, which has allowed him to continue growing through his fears and fostering his confidence! I still absolutely recommend this place.

Original: We have had nothing but wonderful experiences here! My son has been going for months and loves it. His coach, Miles, has been incredible and I’ve seen such a huge difference in my son’s level of confidence and skills. He’s occasionally had other coaches there as well and all have been wonderful! I highly recommend this place!

I cannot recommend Gemstone enough.

I love the experience and attention that the coaches bring. Within a year my daughter has flourished so much while being here. They truly take the time to get to know your child, and help them earn new skills while also celebrating their attempts.

We have been with Miss Courtney for a few years now and cannot recommend her (and the whole team) enough.

Something that makes them stand out for the younger kids is their weekly themes. Each week changes and the layout is tailored to that theme. It keeps it interesting for the younger ones and makes it exciting to see what that week will bring.

We also love the yearly mini competitions. Watching the children grow with their skills and confidence is so fun to watch.

We are having a great at Gemstone. My 4 month old daughter attends Baby Bears and we have a wonderful time. We have attended for 3 weeks now and it is a great way to get tummy time in. It's also super informative for me. As a FTM with no clue what I'm doing, I feel like I'm learning a lot about how to do tummy time in different ways. I can't wait for my girl to learn how to crawl so we can start moving around the space a bit differently

Been coming here about a year and a half, my girls have so much fun. We’re in the toddler bear class where there’s a nice mix of structure and toddler led. They’re also very accommodating: cancelled classes get makeups that don’t expired and can be shared with siblings! Since toddler bear is an adult with kid class, they let you baby wear another if needed, or let one adult take class with two kids- something you don’t find often but is so helpful!

I was excited for my 4 year old daughter to join gymnastics this summer. Not all the instructors are welcoming and/or friendly. You’re able to tell when they have a preference with students. tuition increased and I have no issue with paying the difference but when my kid is treated differently than others I’m not okay with that. Also not to mention, the seating is limited. if you show up 1-2 mins late you have to sit on the floor or get stared at for standing around and keeping your eye on your kid. staff is not quite friendly.

There is several coaches who have been there since we joined over year years ago (our previous gym had very high turnover!). Tuition is very easy (auto billed each month) and they make it easy to schedule make up classes, or switch classes if needed.

My kids have been going to Gemstone for 4 years now. The teachers have always been kind, patient, upbeat and understanding. I have had multiple experiences where one of my children had either refused to participate or thrown a tantrum. The teachers have always allowed me to join the class to soothe the child or given me a make up class without me asking for one if they refused to participate.

The attitude of the entire staff has impressed me so much that we decided to throw my daughter's 4th birthday party there. The general rule is that no parents are allowed on the floor during the birthday, but they allowed exceptions for the 2 kids in her preschool class that we're neurodivergent and needed extra help. Unlike other gymnastics birthday parties, Gemstone provided 2 coaches that guided the children through the activities. They got out the bouncy house, and the kids were thoroughly exhausted by the end. Her friends still talk about how amazing her Gemstone birthday party was, and this is 2 years later. The most important part is that all the other gymnastics birthday parties we've been to (NOT at Gemstone), there has been at least 1 injury leading to a child leaving the party prematurely, and the parents were expected to follow their children around for safety. Not at Gemstone, the coaches took care of everything, allowing the parents to socialize worry free.

My kids have only been to 1 kids night out, but they still ask to go back every month.

My daughter has had so much fun at Gemstone that she wanted to join the gymnastics team. The coaches have been great at helping her set small goals, and she has improved a lot since she started the team program. The most important thing she is learning from the team gymnastics is that to progress, you have to practice and work hard to obtain the skill. She is also learning to cheer for her teammates when they accomplish their goals and to lose graciously. I feel like the team program is amazing because she is learning those key life lessons in a place that is so supportive of her emotionally.

We also sent my daughter to summer camp at Gemstone, which she had said is her favorite camp so far of the summer.

Both my children have been taking classes at Gymstone for over a year. My daughter is in Toddler Bears and my son is in Ninja Bears. My daughter’s class is mommy & me style so I’m able to see first hand how great the classes are - I’ve been very impressed. Each class is well thought out, engaging, fun, and a consistent teacher from week-to-week. Ninja Bears is by far my son’s favorite activity that I’ve signed him up for over the years - we’re even having his birthday party at Gymstone.

My daughter is all smiles during her sessions and looks forward to gymnastics every week. I highly recommend Gemstone gymnastics to all parents interested in getting their child into the sport.

Our daughter started a Gemstone a couple of years ago. She has enhanced her skills, become a more confident and capable gymnast and loves going there. She enjoys working with all the teachers and has made many friends. The atmosphere is friendly, fun, inviting, and the teachers continually challenge her. We especially love that they helped her set her own skills goals, and then they work together to attain those. I appreciate the theme weeks, special events, various classes offered, and that the space accommodates several ages/classes. We are grateful to have Gemstone in our neighborhood!

Gemstone is the best gymnastics gym in San Diego hands down. My older daughter is on the team and they have taught her so much, not only improved her skill but also her confidence. My younger daughter is in gym bears and it is so cute. Everyone at the gym is thoughtful, kind, enthusiastic, and so wonderful with the kids. We feel so lucky to be a Gemstone Fam!

We began attending Gemstone Gymnastics when my daughter turned two. Now we are going on our third year this fall. I cannot believe the progress my daughter has made- with her Gymnastics skills, her balance and coordination, and her confidence. Now we have signed up her younger sister as well. They have an easy make up policy but we almost never miss a class. The staff is great (Shout out to Ms. Camille). They always have themes, events, and so much going on way beyond the once a week class. The team really dedicates a lot of time and energy into what they do. And finally, I absolutely love that there is an ASL ‘sign of the week’ that they teach the students related to the weekly theme. I could not recommend anything more wholeheartedly than gemstones for Gymnastics for your children.

We love gemstone! Both my kids look forward to taking classes hear every summer. The weekly themes keep things fresh, and the flexibility with make-up days is so convenient. When my son broke his arm part way through a session, they even worked with us and made an exception to allow my daughter to take classes in his place. The teachers are kind and engaged, customer service is prompt and friendly.

My daughter is not a fan of physical activities, but she loves gemstone and she was lucky to have coach Jackie, coach lori,coach Andy and coach miles in last almost 2 years. When she was about to give up coach miles was the savior, he's supporting her physically and emotionally. I have nothing to say but great things about the place and all the staff. We love this amazing team.

Our experiences with Gemstone have been amazing! They’re unmatched in the area in terms of professionalism/customer service and cleanliness.

Also, I’m continually so impressed by their staff and programming. As a mom I’m always on the hunt for activities that are built on a purposeful curriculum, but are so fun kids would never know :). I also think finding programs with people who “get” preschoolers is more challenging than you’d think and Gemstones totally “gets” all kinds of kids. I love watching her teacher scaffold every movement during a class so that it’s differentiated and appropriate for each kiddo in the group. I’m always so impressed to watch her gradually, and strategically increase the difficulty of any given movement within and between classes. My daughter’s confidence and coordination have grown so much over the past year and we’re so grateful to have found such a quality and fun program!

Coach Kayla, Coach Kalena, and Coach Camille are amazing and really take the time to coach each individual kid. We love Gemstone!

Great for kids of all ages. My daughter (4 yo) has been enrolled in almost a year and loves her classes and coach/subs so much. The staff really take good care of the kids in their classes. As a sport coach, I can tell the staff here truly want to pass on their knowledge and skills to all the kids enrolled.
Everytime I had a question or my child is sick, I texted/emailed and got a response within the hour.

The only suggestion I have would be that hopefully somehow gemstones can add seatings for parents/guardians. I noticed sometimes there's a parent carrying an infant or the occasional grandmas who have to stand near the viewing area for entire class.

5*/5* well run company. Support your local biz!!

My gymnast has improved greatly courtesy of the coach’s focus on technique and knowledge of the sport. Extra points to the Wednesday Level 1 and Ninja coaches who are fantastic at their jobs and also as gymnasts.

Looking for kids gymnastics? Look no further. Gemstone is the best!! If you're lucky enough to have Ms Taylor, Ms Morgan, or Mr Andy, you're in for an extra special session of fun! Both our toddler and young kiddo love going to Gemstone for their gymnastics and ninja fun. The themed weeks and plethora of equipment make each week something new and exciting! The make up policy is great too. :-)

My daughter found her sport! She loves “Elsa Gymnastics” and asks to go every day of the week. I may need to sign her up for a second day. The make up policy is amazing. The coaches are fun and they have stations for the 3 year olds so there isn’t a lot of waiting around. I love that the coaches incorporate sign language into the lessons as well.

I really wanted to love this place. My husband and I have worked as managers in gyms for 15+ years combined and I have never come across such unprofessionalism and lack of regard for the community/customers by a manager. First, a family member came to watch my daughter do her class; this family member remained outside and her mask slipped below her nose. She was told by the man who works there that if she didn’t cover her nose, my daughter would be kicked out of class and we’d be given a refund and not allowed back. A little aggressive if you ask me.... (my daughter is 2 and this family member wasn’t even inside of the establishment, she was outdoors).

Fast forward a few weeks, I was incorrectly charged over $100 to my debit card after my daughter completed her classes. I called immediately after I saw the charge and explained I was over-charged. I was able to speak with manager Sara who told me “everything is non refundable. I could give you a refund, I just don’t want to.” 😳
I understand what running a budget is like, and we are very familiar with profit/loss statements... It is also federal law that any purchase made on a debit or credit card can be refunded. She agreed when I told her this and said that giving me a refund would mess up her budget too much because then she’d have to refund everybody else who was incorrectly charged. (I wish I was making this up). I requested she please think about giving me a refund because I didn’t want to have to go through my bank to get the money back. She said she didn’t care if she lost our business (we have a large blended family, which I explained, and she said losing 3 kids business wouldn’t hurt her). I even offered to purchase 2 more months of classes if she could just refund the incorrect charges. She said verbatim she “didn’t care about keeping us as customers.” Growing up in this community I am very disappointed that a children’s gym is being run like this. And it wasn’t even a one off, I know 2 other moms who were overcharged and had to dispute charges with the bank because the management wouldn’t issue refunds. I hope they learn from this experience so people are not scammed out of their money.
In terms of gymnastics, it was about a 6 out of 10 for my toddler and a 5 out of 10 for my stepdaughter who is 8 years old. The classes are cute and simple and the girls who teach the classes are nice. Unfortunately, our family and blended family members will not be returning to this place due to lack of professionalism.
I was also told to “leave as many negative reviews as you want...” so there’s that....

I paid for a full month of tuition did not get offered the free trial class at all. My daughter missed a class and i was told she could make up for it. When the second month came i couldnt make my payment on the spot because i didnt have a card on me so i let them know i would update the card when i got home. They said my daughter could not join class even though she had a make up class. She couldn’t do her make up class unless enrolled for another month. They are over priced and the teacher does not teach much is more like baby sitting while the kids do as they pleased in the gym. When i offered to pay for the day with cash they took my money but refused to give me my change as a way to keep the change for the next month tuition i felt like i was being forced to keep entolling my child to keep giving them money they dont care about there customers or students all they want is money

Do not take your kids here! It is not sanitary, after their recent shut down to to covid my son went to 2 classes and got sick twice. The staff let sick kids join class. Kids sneezing and coughing is ok in their eyes.

Teachers also are hit or miss. Most just go thru the motions not actually engaging with the 4 year olds. Just seems like bad babysitting. After being a customer of theirs for 5 months after telling them my concerns about my son getting sick they did not care. The owner said no one else has said their kids have gotten sick so it must not be gemstone that is the problem.

Do not give them your business. It's a very over priced class for what they do. They are charging more and doing less. Bad business all around.

Our family loves Gemstone Gymnastics. We started there when they opened last year in Allied Gardens. The location works well for us. There is plenty of easy parking, too. The owners are kind, thoughtful, and skilled at thinking about the logistics of things that go into running a place like this, especially in the current situation with COVID-19. The teachers are great, too. They take great care of the kids, and do well at keeping even the tiniest ones on track with the class. It's also cool to see so many faces of our neighborhood folk here. In all honesty, I'm also envious of the kids getting to play on all the fun equipment. 😉

We would like to say thank you to Gemstone Gymnastics and their staff, especially coach Andrea. Our child always enjoyed the classes with Andrea. Her ability to make every child feel like the class was tailored to them is extraordinary! It is unfortunate that we are moving away and would love to bring Gemstone Gymnastics and coach Andrea with us. Gemstone is one of the many places we will miss about San Diego. Thank you Gemstone Gymnastics!

If you're looking for places in San Diego for a Kids Birthday Party, Gemstone Gymnastics is awesome. My daughter goess to a different gymnastics school but we attended the grand opening event for this location and immediately knew this would be a perfect Birthday Party location. You get the entire gym for your party and its srt up and organized in a way thats suitable for different ages. We had my daughter's 5th Birthday here and kids from age 2-10 had a blast. The only thing I would have done is booked the extra time, late arrivals and clean up cut a little into the party time but its a good sign when the kids didn't want it to end. This is a great indoor party location in San Diego!
