The Driven Athletics has been amazing working with our girls on tumbling and helping them excel in all-star cheer. The coaches are very knowledgeable and encouraging. I am amazed how fast they have progressed with the team there.

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Shima and Leo!!! From private lessons to group lessons to special classes, everything is well planned out and my daughter has enjoyed the coaching! Learned so much!!! Thank you!!😊

My girls started with Driven before they even had their gym. On the first day, they taught my daughter her backbend, backbend kick over and so close to her back walkover! One daughter does cheer and the other competitive dance and they both benefit tremendously from the classes and private lessons. They push them to try harder, do new things and overcome their fear, all while encouraging and supporting them. I think Leo was more excited than my daughter when she nailed her roundoff back-handspring the first time! My girls are always excited to go there and I feel safe knowing they are with excellent coaches who are always spotting and watching!

Driven Athletics is committed to the growth of each athlete in the fundamentals of their cheerleading skills and have A-tier expertise in their coaching staff! I wouldn't recommend any other program in the area! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

The coaches are wonderful, and Leo is the absolute best! We’ve seen so much growth, both in her skills and self-assurance. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a supportive and fun environment!

My two daughters - 9 and 5 year olds - have been working with Driven Athletica. All of our encounters have been positive. We’ve taken privates, classes and attended camps. (I even enjoy the adult tumbling!) We give them 5 stars!

Bluffton is SO LUCKY to have Coach Shima and Coach Leo! They are incredible athletes and incredible coaches! I have personally seen them work with athletes from tiny tumblers to elite athletes! This is an incredible gym run by an incredible family! My 4 year old LOVES the classes, play days, and camps! I wish I had coaches like them when I was younger!

We were so lucky to have found Driven. Harper has been working diligently on improving her skill set in the Cheer world and when we found Driven, it was pedal to the metal from day one. She has improved so rapidly and Coach Leo and Shima give a perfect balance of love, support and discipline to ensure each athlete is improving. They are also careful to place the athlete’s according to their skill set so that they are pushed but not overlooking the technique side of it. Highly recommend this gym to any beginner all the way up to the pros!!

My daughter started taking their cheer 101 class Thursday nights and she is absolutely loving it! Madilinns confidence has skyrocketed and she is learning so much. The coaches are fantastic and they listen very well to her and we absolutely love it! Definitely recommend for beginners!

I’m so thankful we have found Driven ! My girls love taking their tumbling lessons there ! Both my girls are at two different levels and seeing them both be taught their skills at levels they can understand and to learn to do them correctly is amazing . The coaches here always uplift the girls and push them to do their best with giving them confidence and feed back to achieve their currently skills ! We will continue to come here as long as we’re in Sc !

These two work as a team to ensure their athletes utilize their time in the gym to achieve perfection! Watching these kids practice, its easy to see the confidence you instill in them and the trust they have in you as a coach. 11/10 recommended 😀💙

There is FINALLY a coaching gym in the area. The Driven Athletics work to get the students to understand the technique and reason why/why not an action was successful. They have an ‘all eyes on’ approach which was so important to me that they value the safety and technique of each skill. This is a positive environment and I see each student excited and eager to learn. I also like that they don’t let the kids goof off, students are there for a reason! I have recommended Driven Athletics to so many and will always be an advocate for them. Thank you - the lowcountry had needed a skill facility like this!!

Such a fan of their coaching style. They are helpful. They are hype. They take the time to explain all the positions/moves to the students. I’ve witnessed so much progress in such a short amount of time.

The coaches at this gym are truly exceptional! They create a supportive environment where students can safely learn new skills while being encouraged to reach their goals. My daughters have made incredible progress since starting private lessons here. They're consistently mastering new techniques while also building on their existing abilities! We are so lucky to have them in the lowcountry!

Her confidence has grown tremendously. Shima and Leo have become like family. They truly care for each athlete and go above & beyond in every aspect. If you’re looking for quality coaches you have found them!

Shima and Leo have been the perfect addition to my daughter’s dance and acro training. They are both so enthusiastic and knowledgeable and know how to dig deep with their athletes to find what motivates them. Their coaching style blends high level technique, discipline and positive encouragement. I would highly recommend this duo to any local athlete looking to add on strength, flexibility and tumbling in to their performance repertoire

We LOVE Shima and Leo!!! Not only are they just incredible coaches, but you can tell they are passionate about what they do. I had both my kids in tumbling privates for years and they never really progressed as fast as they have with Shima and Leo in just a few months. Most importantly, my daughter especially has gained so much confidence with them. My daughter struggled with acro/tumbling but they have both supported her with the perfect amount of push and encouragement. I am so grateful for them!
