Really disappointed with the classes here. We only have worked with one coach so maybe the rest aren’t like this but after the first bad experience I called and they assured me that this coach didn’t work there anymore so we tried again and it was the same coach. My daughter was in a class for something she was working on getting and the coach was completely disinterested in her because she didn’t have this skill yet. I may be wrong but I assumed that’s what the class was for. She told my daughter to go do handstands instead and didn’t teach her the skill that I paid for and she was working hard to get. The next time was the same and she told my daughter (who is 11) that she needed to go to the cartwheel and handstand class instead (both of which she has obviously been able to do for a long time). Maybe this gym or just this coach is only interested in the advanced gymnasts that have been going there for a long time. I have found much better support from Great Lakes in Oxford. They worked with my daughter to get this skill, encouraged her, and gave her the attention she deserved.

Edited to add: this was definitely not a safety issue this was a lack of interest on the “coaches” part. I’ve witnessed safe progression to get to a skill and understand that concept. If this was the case I wouldn’t be warning others about the issue. Hopeful you guys can improve and accept constructive criticism rather than deflecting.

If you are going to sign up here make sure you want to stick with it. They are an absolute headache to work with if you want to drop a class and will NOT give you any money back that is left on your account. Try to hold it hostage and make you pay tons of fees for things.

I have been taking my kids to Flipspot in Lake Orion for 4 years. I have had 3 kids (ages 5, 3.5, and 18mo) go through Parent tot, and 2 onto preschool. Coming weekly for at least 3 years, sometimes multiple times a week, we have taken hundreds of classes with various instructors at flipspot. But for 3 years myself and several other participating parents have rearranged our entire extracurricular schedules specifically to be able to put our kids in Alysa’s parent tot/preschool classes. She is SO hands on, positive, sweet and does activities that begin building the skills and coordination the eventually needed to progress, starting at just 12 months! She sets very reasonable standards and expectations for each class, teaching body positions and putting great emphasis on their safety. The developmental milestones and improvements the kids have made with her is beyond palpable . As a local MHSAA Cheerleading Coach, with a strong background in tumble & cheer fundamentals…. I am always impressed by Alysa’s patient, kind and intentional instruction of such tiny humans. Alysa’s classes always have a plan, she cares for and treats all of my babies like her own. Her classes are truly worth every penny because they are such a refreshing contrast to other tumble tot classes/instructors that felt like very disorganized free-for-alls.

Our coach Jacob for the adult gymnastic class has been phenomenal, he’s patient and is dedicated to helping you reach your own personal gymnastic goals. The gym management goes above and beyond to make sure their customers are treated fair. Would recommend any adult looking to get some fun exercise.

We have invested significant time and money in lessons at Flip Spot, but unfortunately, the experience has not met our expectations for a high-quality gymnastics program. The gym is consistently overcrowded, which creates a chaotic and often distracting environment. Cleanliness is also a concern, as the facility is frequently very dirty.

One of the most disappointing aspects has been the lack of a robust development program. Our daughter is highly motivated and demonstrates strong skills, yet she has become bored and frustrated at her current level. The reasoning provided for not advancing her has been her "form," but the instruction and feedback on form are minimal at best. On-the-spot coaching to help her improve is noticeably absent, leaving her without the tools she needs to progress.

As a parent without a gymnastics background, I initially thought this might be a standard part of the process. However, our babysitter, who is a competitive gymnast, offered valuable insight. She was able to advocate for our daughter and assess the situation more thoroughly. Ultimately, she advised us to look for a gym that would better nurture our daughter’s potential and keep her enthusiasm for the sport alive.

Our daughter loves gymnastics, and it’s disheartening to see her enthusiasm wane due to a lack of proper instruction and engagement. We hope Flip Spot takes this feedback seriously to improve their programs and better support young gymnasts in reaching their full potential.

UPDATE: Since this original review, the staff at fLipSpot has helped our instructor to offer more personalized instruction. Thank you!!
4 stars for facility and equipment. 2 stars for instruction. 3 star average.
Facility has a lot of exciting and challenging equipment to make class fun for kids. Parking lot is insufficient and dangerous.
The instructor for my child gives very little personal attention, which I expect for the steep price. I gave fLipSpot a try because my child needs extra help with her large motor skills, not because she will be a competitive gymnast. I did not feel we received that help I was hoping for. Instructor just seems to tell kids "try this move now", but doesn't seem to have much real motivation for showing kids how and helping them improve.
