Very happy to have switched to Venture Athletics. They do an amazing job of communicating the steps needed for each skill they are practicing so that my daughter can manage to succeed in completing each skill faster. This is the place for anyone interested in tumbling skills.

Coach MO understood the assignment! M is a sophmore cheerleader who needs to advance her tumbling on the mat, MO knew exactly what she needed to work on and was able to give her great advice and technique training.

I have nothing but great things to say about this facility. To start, Coach Tony is so talented/skilled, patient, and has a way with working with his clients that is unlike anything we’ve ever experienced anywhere else. All of the coaches at Venture are amazing, you seriously can’t go wrong. The facility is clean, fun & never negative. Tony helped my daughter overcome a mental block and work her over the last year to be at a level I never could have fathomed her being at. Love us some Venture 🫶🏼

Coach Bill has been coaching my daughter for many years, and I have watched her improve tremendously with all his help. She comes home from tumbling so excited that Bill helped teach her new skills. He is so easy to work with, encouraging, funny, and overall an amazing coach! He helps my daughter be the best tumbler she can be, while ensuring she has so much fun!

Coach Bill at Venture Athletics is the BEST! He has worked with both of my daughters for a little over a year. During this time he has helped my oldest improve her tumbling skills which helped her to make a college cheer team. Furthermore, Coach Bill has helped my youngest to overcome a mental block. He makes the classes fun, which is especially important when working with a kid who has a mental block. He is patient and kind, while also being focused on technique. He wants each athlete to learn the proper foundational skills to be strong tumblers. I can’t say enough good things about Coach Bill!

Can't say enough about Venture Athletics and the coaches. My daughter absolutely loves all the coaches and considers it as her second home. The dedication and support each coach puts into each tumbler/dancer is absolutely amazing.

We are truly grateful for Tony, he believes in our daughter and has made her the tumbler she is today. She looks up to him and is excited to see him every week.

We thank Raya, she is the believer of my daughter as a wonderful dancer. Her Accro is absolutely beautiful because of you.

There is not one coach that we would not consider as family. They all have been super amazing to my daughter and looking forward many more years with Venture .

If you are looking for a gym that is dedicated to providing your child with a hardworking, fun but amazing tumbling experience, this is the place for you!!

My daughter has been going to tumbling private lessons with Bill for three years. He has taught her the basics and helped her progress through skills at a really fast pace. She started by learning back handsprings and now has a running tumbling pass with a tuck along with a standing tuck. She had never done cheer or tumbling when she started and became a 2 year varsity cheerleader at her high school and is now moving on to cheerleading in college in a Division 1 program. Bill has supported her throughout the process! Judge has also been really supportive and taught her the coed stunts that she needed to make a college team !

Lew has created an amazing space for athletes and brought in THE BEST of the best coaches and staff. Weekly lessons with Bill is her favorite hour of the week!

Spent many years with my daughter at Venture Athletics. It's a place where the Coaches are dedicated to their athletes and care about them as individuals. Special shout out to Coach Bill Robb for developing my athletes skills over the years. He is the epitome of what a Coach should be, kind, caring, technical and knew exactly how to get the best out of my athlete mentally and physically.

I have 2 daughter that use Venture and we absolutely love the gym. The atmosphere is nothing but supportive and encouraging from all the coaches. If you are ever interested in doing private tumbling lessons or classes, this is a place to go! They’re very accommodating to all athletic abilities. We in particular use Coach Bill for privates and he has changed the game for my daughters! His knowledge of tumbling skills and patience have helped them grow by leaps and bounds. Coach Bill, and the rest of Venture Gym, are the best!!!

We have had the most amazing experience at Venture both through classes and through private lessons. We feel so lucky to have worked with coach Bill who helped her achieve her goal to land her back handspring. Bill and many of the coaches we have worked with at Venture have been nothing but encouraging, supportive, highly engaging, and patient with my daughter. While he helped instill the confidence at the gym to master some of these tumbling skills, we are even more appreciative of the confidence he has helped her develop in general that she is capable and strong enough to do hard things and with perseverance she can achieve her goals. She really looks forwards to her classes each week!

They are vested in their students’ success. They go to competitions to cheer them on and are always trying new techniques to keep them growing as athletes. Lew, Bill and Josh are just a few of our favorite coaches! I recommend this gym regularly to people looking for a place for their child to learn tumbling. We love this gym!

My daughter (Maho) lost her confidence in her tuck. I think it was a mental block. Coach Justin, Coach Tony and Coach Bill at Venture Athletics addressed that immediately. They're super tumbler who shows her the basics. With his guidance, my daughter got her tuck back. They also focuses on clean form. No hesitate, just jump in to Venture. Thank you.

Love love love this place!!!!!! They have all the equipment needed and the attentiveness of the coaches is amazing. They make you feel like family and you see the joy they have when their athletes hit that move that they've been working on. My three daughters have attended other gymnastics classes and we decided to have them focus on tumbling since they are in cheerleading as well. Venture Athletics was on the TOP of our list for many reasons. We've seen other athletes progress and we trust their expertise. My 8 and 6 year old are with Coach Rebecca in level 1 fundamentals and the progress in just 3 weeks is amazing. She is so good with them and I like that she challenges them to do better each time. My 5 year old is with Coach Lew in the minis classes and he is amazing with her. He's fun, patient and truly connects with the little ones. I went to school with him and I can speak to his character, dedication and support. He's amazing and I'm so proud of his journey. It feels full circle that he and his team are helping my girls follow their dreams and be the best athletes they can be.
