Founded in 2014, Fuel was designed from the ground up to be a better program. We demand a safe, positive and fulfilling environment for our athletes and we demand coaches that are the best at what they do, not just by accomplishments, but by who they are and what they bring to those around them.

This company may work well for children without disabilities or additional needs, but I would not recommend it for those requiring extra support. My daughter, who has anxiety and struggles with self-advocacy, felt bullied by other girls on her team. I repeatedly raised these concerns with the owner, Lauren, but no action was taken. I even approached one of the parents involved, someone I knew outside of this program, and they acknowledged the issue and agreed it needed to be addressed. However, Lauren was upset that I reached out to the parent, despite our prior connection.

My daughter has been cheering for years, and her past coaches have always provided support and encouragement. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case here. After several attempts to address the issue, Lauren told me, "I don’t think there’s any changes we can make as a gym to fix this issue. I think Kaitlin needs to learn to cope with a team environment like every other athlete. This is a life skill she will need as an adult with a job. If there’s a genuine issue, by all means, come to me about it!" This response dismissed my concerns, despite my explaining that my daughter is high-functioning but struggles with anxiety.

Frustrated, I vented on Facebook (on a private page that Lauren doesn’t follow), but someone shared a screenshot with her. Afterward, things escalated. My daughters joined Pop Warner, which uses Fuel’s facility, but Lauren retaliated. She refused to allow my daughters into the building for uniform fittings, forcing them to try on shoes outside. During subsequent practices held at Fuel, my girls were not allowed to participate, missing over 8 hours of practice before a major competition. This exclusion affected my older daughter’s performance and her entire team’s routine. She didn’t even know her last 8-count by competition day, which left her feeling defeated. This treatment soured her love for cheerleading entirely.

While my youngest daughter had better experiences and made it to Nationals thanks to amazing coaches, I strongly caution parents with children who need additional support. If your child struggles with anxiety or requires understanding and accommodation, this is not the right place for them.

This gym has changed my daughter for the better! She came to the gym with a cartwheel and a round off. In her first day there, she got her front and back walkover. In a mere 7 months, she already had her back handspring series and side aerial. It is no accident because she feels so supported as a part of the family that they’ve built.

We understand that competitive cheer can easily lead to overzealous coaches, yelling, unhealthy body image, etc. We specifically sought out a place where it can be fun, uplifting, while truly challenging her. This is that place and it comes from the top down! The owner takes each kid under her wing and each coach helps each student like a mentor and loving older sibling.

Edit to add:
It has been several years and we are still at Fuel and my daughter still loves it. We have seen some of her friends who stayed at other gyms burn out from the sport but this gym keeps it fun and focuses on continual improvement instead of just winning… though they do win a lot also. Many of her friends have come to join her at Fuel as well.

We love fuel athletics and the owner/ coach Lauren. My daughter started at Fuel a few years ago after a rough experience with rec league cheer and instantly loved it!! The owner loves these girls like they were her own. They are always pushing the girls to learn new skills and grow, as well as hosting parties and team bonding events. It’s so much more than just cheer.

This is our second season at Fuel and my daughter absolutely loves her team! It has been awesome to see the bond she has made with the girls at the gym all while improving her skills. I have been super impressed with Lauren’s (the owner), dedication and care for all athletes. She always creates fun events for the teams and goes out of the way to make holidays a special time at the gym. I highly recommend Fuel Athletics!

My baby started going to this gym a year ago. We’ve tried other gyms and other sports: dance, gymnastics, tumbling, and even silks. My daughter did okay in these other gyms. At Fuel, my daughter made more progress in a half season than she has in years of other places we have went. The coaches really work with her and even do so one on one. This gym is like a family. The owner loves and adores every kid that comes here. This is NOT like other gyms where your kid is just a number. My daughter is thriving here! My daughter feels valued and loved at this gym. Coming from a small town in Pennsylvania, it is hard to find a small town homey place in central Florida but we found it. I would highly recommend Fuel to anyone with a kiddo interested in dance or cheer.

We are on year three here at Fuel and we are lifers!!! The owner loves and protects the athletes like they are her own. She has a no tolerance policy for bullying, poor sportsmanship, and toxic behaviors! If a parent /athlete is not a positive influence or has a negative mindseton the children or gym She will not hesitate to remove them from the program! The coaches are about being better then you were yesterday!!!My girls have grown so much mentally and physically because of the amazing leadership!

My daughter started at Fuel last fall for tumbling then she competed on their half season team and absolutely loved it. It was our first experience with competitive cheer and it was great. She is now on a full season team and has been excelling in tumbling so much faster than expected. We both love being apart of this gym family. I cannot say enough about the owner, she goes above and beyond for all of her athletes and makes them all feel special while striving to be the best they can be! If you are looking for a new home in competitive cheer come join the Fuel family! #FlamesUp

My daughter started with the gym this year. Her progress over the past few months has been exceptional. The owner is very involved and compassionate in taking time to learn and get to know each child. It is a fun environment, everyone works together to make sure the girls enjoy themselves. I am happy we chose Fuel.

Unprofessional, no accountability, extremely poor leadership, lazy coaching by new coaches, and extremely messy culture allowed and participated in by the Owner and Coach. Dance kids often fued as the coach lacks the emotional intelligence to handle and resolve any conflict on any level. I’m the parent waiting area, be prepared to hear the unthinkable conversations allowed.

My Daughter is starting Her 3rd season with Fuel Athletics, and I am still impressed with how far she has come in such a short amount of time. She had zero skills before she started and is now a powerful tumbler and is constantly improving her stunting skills. Fuel is a family, great parents, great athletes , and the coaches have been amazing for My Daughter .

I cant say enough good things about this gym! My daughter was at a gymnastics gym before we found Fuel that treated her like a number. At Fuel they know her by name, and actually genuinely care about her. They want what is best for their athletes regardless of a win, and it genuinely feels like a family at the gym. They encourage her to do her best, but don’t push her to unhealthy or unsafe limits. Everything that sports should be! Lauren has a passion for cheer, but is even more passionate about wanting what’s best for her athletes. I’m so glad we found Fuel!

My daughter's dance closed due to covid. So my daughter decided to try cheer. She loves it there. She was looking for a family she had with dance and Lauren welcomed her with open arm. All the girls there are like one big family. She has learned so much over the year she has been there. So happy I found this place.

Our daughter has been family at Fuel for a few years now and we would never consider another gym. Lauren is such an amazing gym owner, coach, and mentor to all of the kids there. While the gym itself is large with a ton of space and features, it really feels like such a close knit group of kids and coaches. Our daughter's tumbling skills continue to drastically improve season after season, and best of all she LOVES to go to practice and never considers it a chore. Lauren always creates super fun events for holidays and team bonding like lock-ins and themed parties. She loves these kids like her own and we are blessed to be part of the Fuel family!

Hi, so I am a current athlete at this gym and I have always been nervous to do any sport because of my body but the coaches were really supportive of me. They really helped me a lot through my confidence when I first joined I thought I was gonna get made fun of or something (at other places) I’ve experience in the past but when I joined fuel it was an amazing and positive community I have made so many friends and everyone is so supportive of me. It’s such a great experience I 10/10 recommend.

My daughter has grown so much as an athlete at Fuel. Not only that, but she feels supported and encouraged to do her best. Coaches do not put up with nastiness or catiness amongst the athletes. Each child is respected and expected to respect each other. My first impression was correct- they really are a family and treat each other that way!

Fuel athletics is a different type of cheerleading gym. Unlike other gyms putting athletes on lower level teams and only focusing on the number of wins they have, Fuel focuses on having fun and making the athletes better. There is no greater feeling then competing a new skill and many athletes at other gyms get deprived of that experience due to leveling down. At Fuel athletes are the main focus. Fuel athletes get free tumbling classes and open gyms. We also have hand sanitizer everywhere and staff wears masks.

In my opinion, this is the best gym in the area. Kids aren't treated like they are replaceable and the core values are focused around building the confidence of kids instead of sacrificing that for winning. The person leaving a negative review is just a salty parent whose kid was removed because the mom and daughter were negative towards the gym and other kids. I'm glad Fuel doesn't overlook that kind of behavior.

Fuel Athletics is, hands down, one of the best choices out there! The staff is knowledgeable and passionate about the sport. They care about each athlete that walks through their doors. Fuel creates the type of atmosphere where athletes excel and thrive not only in the cheer and tumbling industry but in life because of the confidence instilled in them by the staff. Way to go, Fuel for setting the industry standard high!!!
