I have nothing but great things to say about Gymtek. We have been going for about a year now and will continue. My oldest is in the ninja program and I am waiting on my youngest to be old enough to start classes. Coaches are great and the front desk is very helpful. I love the Ability to text the gym for class information and class schedule changes.

Gymtek is a good spot to get your kids into Gymnastics, Tumbling, or Ninja Skills training. My kids have been attending for 5+ years and they are really good. The Teachers/Coaches are very well rounded and knowledgeable.

Absolutely love this place. Both of my daughters went. My oldest went for years now I’m signing my youngest one up. My son has also did the boys ninja and gymnastics. They all said great things. The coaches are very patience and nice. They’ll help you get ur child to the top! And the great thing is the vibes are amazing and everyone is so nice and wonderful they have three price ranges that are super affordable and it’s super easy set up! Would definitely and still recommending to everyone with kids

My daughter was looking for a place to do gymnastics. She had been self taught in what we called β€œliving room gymnastics” she needed more space and coaching to help her progress. She has been going to Gym-Tek 4 months now and has already learned so much! She looks forward to class every week and now has her older sister joining her! Highly recommend.

Our kiddo has grown up at GymTek! Coaches are encouraging and patient while maintaining discipline. They have high expectations for all kiddos and all of our daughter’s coaches have helped her achieve goals. The coaches truly care about the athletes. GymTek is like a second family and we highly recommend!

My daughter Sarah has blossomed at Gym Tek. Coach Jeremy and Angela and Shelby have been amazing. They individualize each student at their own skill level. No matter what size, what skill level, they have been positive and encouraging and talented coaches.

We have had our kids at GymTek since 2019, both in classes for Ninja and gymnastics. The staff are very knowledgeable and always have a great positive attitude with the kids. Classes are always planned out and the activities change regularly. We also love that there is an opportunity for kids to level up, if needed. There is a variety of equipment that kids are able to access (at all ages), and safety on and off the equipment is a priority.

My son Jay has been at GymTek since May of 2023, and we have had a wonderful experience. We love Coach Matt, and my son loves being at the gym. We are so unbelievably fortunate to have a gym such as this in our backyard. Just this year alone, this gym has three athletes on the US National Team. There are gymnasts from several parts of the country, coming to train at our gym, because it is that good. If you are looking for a gym for your child, whether it is to pursue competitive gymnastics with Olympic goals, or to participate in recreational gymnastics for fun and love of sport, I cannot recommend GymTek enough.

The "GymTek Effect," as the boys call it, is where hometown athletes turn into nationally and internationally competing elite gymnasts and teammates turn into brothers. This place is something special.

GymTek is absolutely incredible! 🌟 The premium quality of the gym and coaching is unmatched. But what truly sets them apart is how the staff goes above and beyond to make me feel welcome. From day one, they have shown genuine care and support, always pushing me to reach my full potential. I can't express enough how much I appreciate them and the positive impact they've had on my gymnastics journey. GymTek is more than just a gym to me, it's a second home filled with amazing people! πŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈβ€οΈ

I was a member of the GymTek Men’s Competitive Team for a little over three years. However, I was a competitive gymnast for a total of twelve years. Matt Henry, the owner of GymTek, was the last coach I had before graduating high school. He was also the first coach I ever had that truly listened to his athletes, valued their input, and loved the sport as much or more than I did. The same love and passion he has for the sport of gymnastics, he brings to ensuring his gym families, staff, and athletes are taken care of.

When I first joined the team, I saw a massive facility with top tier equipment, athletes doing things I’d only dreamt of, and I was terrified. But because of the culture that Matt and the other coaches and athletes had fostered, the transition felt seamless. The sense of community was immediate. Everybody I met made it very clear that they wanted to help me achieve whatever I wanted. And they inspired me to want even more than I had imagined for myself, inside and outside of the gym.

I’ve spent the majority of my life so far doing this sport, and I can honestly say that I have never seen another gym like GymTek. Equipment can be upgraded/replaced, great athletes come and go, but the attitude and family of GymTek is something special that I truly don’t believe will ever change, nor should it. I’m thankful for the time that I had at GymTek, my only regret is that I didn’t have more.

We recently tried out Gymtek as it came recommended by our neighbors. The first class was just ok, the instructor (who is leaving) was great! He was fun and kept control of the kids. However, the new instructor who was there as well to take over the class had zero control over the kids, looked scared, and didn’t pay attention at all. We were hesitant to come back for our second trial since the new instructor was not impressive, but we did since we paid for it. Well the instructor was awful. At one point he asked our son to climb on the trampoline (which he struggled to get on) and didn’t offer to help which is fine I get it kids have to learn. But once our son got up he reached for the instructor, who then turned and walked away. Our son fell to the floor hard and was crying and screaming, the instructor paid no attention to him and I had to run over to him to help him. Needless to say after I checked on him to make sure he wasn’t hurt, we packed up and left. We will not be returning, and for safety reasons you need to get staff who care and pay attention. Very disappointed for sure!

Coach Jeremy was awesome! He was the only friendly person in the gym. We had been there approximately 8 months and I never was spoken to by any other employee. Including, my daughters coach. (Who spent a majority of her time on her phone.) The gym facilities are nice, but they are not equipped for families who need to bring their small babies/children. No changing tables or stroller access to the viewing area. Also, this gym is 3x more expensive than all the others around.

Really 4.5.....great place for the kids to learn how to not hurt themselves trying to flip and jump, etc. I do wish that for the younger kids there would always two teachers to help at the multiple stations and to keep the kids on track. They are easily distracted by all the surrounding activities.

I signed up my daughter in May and took her out in June. Ms. Alex was her instructor and was wonderful;however, she left and I wasn`t notified of the change. I would`ve expected that to be communicated. I asked the lady who was upfront and she was extremely RUDE. Her response was that wasn't her department. I told her that was very unprofessional. She was inconsiderate. She continued to go back and forth w me. She made a comment, Oh well there are more parents that will be happy to get off the wait list.I asked her if there were any other classes because I did not want my daughter in that class due to Ms. Alex leaving and etc. She said no. If she would`ve been friendlier I would`ve stayed but instead I felt the need to remove my daughter from Gymtek . Very RUDE STAFF!

We love GymTek!! We started when my son was 2.5 years old in the 2 year old class on Thursdays with Coach Kelly and my son LOVED it! Every week was different, every class you rotate around and do all kinds of different activities. Kelly is great at reading the group and knowing when to move things along to keep the kids interested. Unfortunately, Thursday afternoons started going haywire for us and my son was crying a lot because he was tired. Coach Kelly set us up with a free trial of the 3 year old class on Wednesday mornings with Coach Andrew to see if it went better. It went awesome and my son is loving being in the "big kid" class! I love that the staff all care about the kids and they are actually teaching them the basics of gymnastics!

The owner is especially friendly and welcoming. The space we reserved was clean and very convenient for watching all the kids playing in the gym. Our guests loved the equipment and the different areas to play in. There is something for all age groups here. Definitely a great venue and we will use them again.

Disappointing!!! Unprofessional & Rude Staff Member.

The facility is nice and spacious, the toddler classes are very small and the preteen classes are overcrowded. I noticed there is not a schedule for rotation on the floor when there are multiple classes and different ages for the equipment, so some classes don't rotate at all. My daughter was really disappointed that majority of her classes she attended where just practicing the same moves on the floor in the corner of the room and not using any of the equipment. The toddler classes had 2 other children in them and was taught by an older woman which didn't seem to have much interest in the kid's and there learning of gymnastics. My toddlers did enjoy the young lady that substituted for the old lady once. She was very positive and uplifting. The leighAnn lady was very rude to me and my Husband just very unfriendly. It definitely didn't make a good impression for our family and we will be taking our children to another local gym with better customer satisfaction, that we feel care about the kid's since that's who it's all about.
