There are many problems with this “gym”. The first problem I have is with the facility. The place is filthy! The bathrooms don’t appear to be cleaned. The gym smells, and there is mold on some of the mats. Absolutely disgusting considering the insane prices I am paying.
My next problem is with the owners and coaches. Favoritism at this gym is the worst of the worst. How many teams do the owners kids need to be on?? They have free reign of the gym, and are always running around during practice and competitions for the parents tk watch. They have coveted spots on the team that aren’t available to their paying members. Communication with the owners is impossible. They won’t respond to emails with questions, but they sure are quick to email you about a missing payment. That leads into my third problem. The money. This place is only about the money. They raise prices to keep certain groups of people out. GTIL is notorious for adding random charges to your account. I have had multiple $400 charges to my account for no reason. I attempted to ask Wes about it, and he blew me off accusing me of being “drunk”.
I could recall more scenarios, but I hope this gets the point across.

You can only be rich and part of their little rich group. Don't even try to go through lost and found, especially when your daughter loses alot of stuff. As a worker with animals im sorry I don't fit into your click and your the same woman who said I was there last week. Her dad brought her. So discrimination at its finest. Have money or don't even bother showing your face. They aren't nice, they are fake! Sad part is they take it out on the kids!

We are at another gym but my daughter loves the classes and open gyms. The staff and coaches are awesome. They treat you like family even though you're not apart of their gym. The kids are AWESOME so sweet. Most of the parents seem cool. The drive is about an hour but the training is worth it! I also LOVE there is plenty of spots to view your child.

The place is a little hard to get to. Its address is on Caton Farm Road while it stands along Weber Road just south of the corner. But you will get there, even if you need help from google.
If you're helping a girl or girls with such things as acquiring or refining cheerleading skills, then this is the place for you.
You'll be so impressed just seeing the serious focus shown by the youngsters going into the place that you will have to check further into it.

Left a review under an old account and wanted to repost from my new account …. Completed a 2nd season with Gymtyme 2020-2021 and it was just as great as the last (see below)

I am beyond happy after our first season at GymTyme. My daughter competed at an All Star Gym that we LOVED for over 10 years, did gymnastics there since she was 3 and she also competed USAG (gymnastics) for 2 years. When the All Star Cheer program at our (long time) gym closed, it was heartbreaking. We never thought we’d find a place that had skilled coaches, well put together teams AND a family feel. We tried a place in the western suburbs & we felt like a number.

GymTyme has exceeded our expectations! My daughter (14) is beyond happy every time she leaves that gym and longs for the day that we can return. The coaches, owners & staff ALL go above and beyond. I am baffled by any bad reviews since my standards are quite high and I’ve been a part of this sport for over 10 years and work in a gymnastics facility full time as the Office Director with over 1400 kids enrolled.

The families and the kids at GymTyme are fantastic! We were new and there were kids who have been there forever, kids on the Worlds Teams and they ALL made my daughter feel welcome. Yes the level 6 kids do talk to the level 4.2 kids. There is no “snotty kids”. Super inclusive. The parents did the same for me and my husband.

Taking a private lesson, GymTyme coaches will stay a bit longer if needed. They come out and talk to you, taking all the time you need. Joe even brings out video and breaks everything down. The owners here walk around, they talk, make you feel comfortable, at home, part of a family. This gym is the perfect size. You are NOT just another number here. You ARE family. This is our new home. If you want the best and a family feel - THIS is where you need to be!!!

Clean facility, well run, emails are always responded to promptly!

Gymtyme Illinois is amazing! The facility is clean, the coaches are excellent, the front desk staff is so organized/responsive and the entire program is run so efficiently. The coaches are supportive, patient and encouraging and the friendships made along the way are priceless. My daughter loves this gym with all her heart! ❤️🖤

Our daughter started here two years ago after being at some of the largest Gyms in the country and she/we can honestly say this is our forever home . She has been treated with so much respect and love by the owners and coaches that she loves and is excited about going to cheer and walking in there to just see everyone.
She’s always greeted with love from everyone and always made to feel right at home. They always play fun games and dress up days and have team parties and competition parties.
The parents are chill and no drama, and the coaches are fair and consistent with being fair in the forming of teams and choreographing and they treat the kids amazing! We HIGHLY recommend GTIL, this gym has become home to my daughter who has done cheer for over 12 years and my whole family who loves and cherishes this gym. If you love or are looking for a gym that is chill with no drama and a place that will forever be in your heart and family, than GTIL is for you!

My husband did the construction on this gym and was never paid in full for his work. Craig El and Wes still owe my husband $12,000. I mentioned it on their Facebook and Wes, the owner, blocks me and then writes about me accusing me of drunk posting. . Never addressed the debt tho. Funny! I wouldn’t recommend them to my worst enemy and my daughter did competitive cheer for 15 years, so that’s saying a lot! I have heard many horror stories of the mysterious charges they place on people’s accounts and the way they treat athletes. Really sad!

I have cheered here since the first season..... the vibe and the atmosphere in the gym is unmatched. I have learned so much through my years at the gym. The owners are the absolute best and the coaches all want their athletes as individuals to succeed in all aspects of their life. This place is my home away from home! I’m 21 and still find myself coming back every season to be apart of this amazing gym. You really can’t get any better than gt!!

While there are some good things about GymTyme IL, namely the training program, some of the coaches, and the facility, the bad significantly outweighs the good. I believe a few of the issues with GymTyme IL are
-The owners (Wes and DJ) and general manager (Andrea). This is a group of greedy, money-hungry, arrogant, condescending, people who are gifted in the art of deception. They can make up an extravagant lie at the drop of a hat. What’s more impressive is that they will feed off each other and can remember the story they told you at a later date and continue to discuss or argue their point. They are so skilled in deception that they will have you questioning yourself about something you know to be true, or not true, whichever the case may be. It’s fascinating to witness...as long as you’re not the target. I will say that the newest owner, (DJ), is not as bad. I feel like he got into something with dishonest people and is now stuck. Unfortunately, he’s learning their ways.
-Communication with Wes or Andrea is very difficult. They will treat you like you’re a five-year old and be very short and curt with you. Andrea sends out these vague emails, scolding all the team parents on a regular basis. I always felt like I should go sit in the corner for awhile after reading one of her emails even though I was never sure exactly why we were being reprimanded. It was very odd.
- Favoritism. The favoritism at GymTyme IL is the worse I’ve seen. Of course the owner’s and general manager’s kids have free reign and are afforded many privileges not available to paying members. They’re on several of the highest performing teams and always seem to have the coveted spots. But there are other favorites too. If you’re lucky enough to be one of these very few, then everything will be great for you and your athlete. You will be catered to. These are also the families that will fiercely defend GymTyme IL because they have to protect their “preferred” status. However, about 80% of their paying customers they can take or leave. They don’t care if you’re there or not and they will make sure you are aware of their indifference. You will be tolerated and treated like they are doing you a favor by letting you in their gym and on their teams. They do not want to hear your concerns but will listen if you are dishing out compliments. They will be very short with you and make it clear that they are not interested in you or your athlete. In fact, this is where the gym’s motto, “Gym first, Team second, Individual third” comes in. They seriously advertise that they are self-serving and will put your child dead last. And they certainly do. I guess you can’t argue that you weren’t warned. They put it right out there. And then there’s the group that they clearly do not like. These families are usually not there for more than one season, if that. These are the families they actively harass until they leave.
-GymTyme has a long standing history of dishonest business practices. Google Craig El. Now, while this particular individual is no longer with GymTyme, the other owner and general manager remain. And less than honest business practices continue. Mysterious charges showing up on your credit card, hidden fees, and large, unathorized sums being charged to people’s cards to name only a fraction of what goes on. They have kicked athletes off teams and then charged $500 to the parent’s card. I had a very large, unathorized, unexplained, sum charged to my card that they would not return. I had to take legal action and the dispute was found in my favor. I did finally get my money back but other families were not so lucky.
-Overall, I would not recommend GymTyme IL. There are so many other reputable, honest, caring gyms in the area that also produce strong athletes and winning teams, and have great training, great coaches, and nice facilities.
So, why did I stay there for several seasons knowing all this? GymTyme IL is 15 minutes from my house. I chose convenience over integrity and paid the price in the end.

This is my daughters third year at GymTyme IL after leaving a different cheer gym. The owners and staff are amazing people to work with. They are so friendly, and go above and beyond for the athletes and families - not at all what we had experienced at the previous gym. My daughter loves this gym, and considers it her home away from home. :)

My daughter joined GTIL coming from another gym and we cannot be happier with our experience. As a parent I love how professionally the gym is run and organized. Communication is very clear. My daughter loves all her coaches; from her team coaches to those that teach classes. We both agree that all teams and individuals are treated with care and respect.

We have been members of this gym since season 1 and cannot speak highly enough of the staff and owners. The facility is keep clean, plenty of teams for all ages and levels. And your child does not become just a number. The parents support each other and it has become a second home. Each cheerleader is given ample opportunity to develop their skills from team practices and tumbling to weekly classes and privates. You will see kids crossing over to teams but only as needed. Each cheerleader is kept an a level appropriate for their mastered skills. Coaches and owners are available to discuss any issues that may arise and are always excited and supportive of each team. You see excitement for every skill achieved from a somersault to a double. And athletes that get injuries are never shoved to the side. They are instead utilized in anyway possible and included in team achievements. There is so much more I could write, but I will keep it brief...GT4L

I have been going to Gymtyme for about a month and I love it. The staff, the people, everyone is just amazing. They know what they are doing and do their best to make sure I don’t get hurt. I trust these coaches at all times. They know what they are doing. I have been taking private lessons with Jordan and he is AMAZING! He makes u feel comfortable and helps you through things. This facility is overall GREAT!!
