We went to cookies with the Grinch. It was WONDERFUL. The kids had a blast and they have many helpers on the floor so the parents can relax while the kids use a ton of energy and have fun. I hope they do more events like this in the future!

My son had his 8th birthday party here and it was a blast!!! The staff was amazing and his entire class had such a good time! Defy Gravity is such a good option if you're looking for somewhere different to have your kid's birthday party at in the area.

I can’t say enough good things about Defy Gravity. Their communication is top notch which is important to me. Their instructors are all certified and hands on. They really take the time to make sure each person is learning and doing the skills properly. If you want to see your child progress while having fun check them out.

We've been so pleased with the coaching staff at Defy, especially Shannon and Morgan. They are always willing to work with us on schedule issues, getting skills up to where they need to be, and the girls feel empowered and encouraged by them. They let us try as many classes as we needed to feel comfortable signing up long-term. They do a great job managing everything they have to deal with - kids, parents, practice space, etc.

My kids love this place and love the coaches! They have built so many strong friendships and continue to be challenged to perform at their highest potential. If you haven’t taken your kids there, give it a try! They will love it!

Our daughter was an upper level gymnast whose career ended after shoulder reconstruction. She decided to try all star cheer and visited Defy. Jonathan the owner and all of the coaches have done an OUTSTANDING job helping her make that transition and are top notch! The Ninja program is also great and the best around the Roanoke Valley!

My daughter's fifth birthday here was an absolute blast and totally successful!! So much so that her friend in her class that came is now having his fifth birthday party there in January. But the staff was super awesome and we had the whole place to ourselves and the price is super amazing for the hour and a half time frame. I was also able to bring in all the food and drink that I needed. The Superman blow up bouncy house was such an awesome and fun thing for the kids to do. My daughter also comes here for her tumbling classes and also did ninja classes for a while and the staff has always just been wonderful with her and she enjoyed it tremendously.

Our daughter has been coming to Defy for a few months now! She absolutely loves Jonathan. Her tumbling has progressed amazingly. I am extremely impressed with how Jonathan works with her!! He is very patient with her and took the time to develop a rapport with her. Out of all the lessons she has received with other coaches, our daughter has progressed the most with Jonathan. This is with tumbling itself but also her confidence in her ability to tumble. He has done so well we excited for our boys to start the Ninja Warrior program there!!

Horrible! The facility is dirty, covered in dust with insulation hanging out from some of the ceiling panels. The manager and owner are not willing to work with unhappy customers. No one ever answers the phone! It took me leaving four messages and contacting them through email to have someone call me back! They have $70 of mine in prepaid classes and refuse to refund it back to me or let me use the classes without paying a yearly registration fee. I will never come back to this place and highly recommend that everyone stay away. You can find a nicer more professional and cleaner gym elsewhere!

My daughter had been coming to this gym for several months now and loves it more than any other gym she has been to! Can’t say enough about how patient and kind Johnathon and his staff are, they seem to genuinely care about the kids and how they progress in their skill set! We would most definitely recommend this gym!!!!

My daughter started working with Jonathan about 7 years ago and with his help she has gained many new tumbling skills over the years. Jonathan is patient and does a great job helping to build confidence as she takes on new skills. We highly recommend Defy Gravity and Jonathan.

We love Defy Gravity! There is so much for any age! Jonathan is great with kids and impressess me more and more with each visit. He works well with keeping the younger kids attention all the way up to challenging the older kids that have done tumble for years. I highly recommend giving Defy Gravity a try. If you have a child who is in dance, cheer or just needs to get some energy out, he has a class for you!

My daughter has private tumbling lessons with Jonathan and also attends some classes and open gyms there. My son has done little ninjas at Defy Gravity. Jonathan is in my opinion the best tumbling coach in or around Roanoke and the gym is awesome. He has taught my daughter so much and I appreciate all he does for our kids

My daughter has been taking lessons at Defy for over a year and I can't say enough positive things about how much her skill levels have improved, her confidence in herself has increased significantly, and her core has gotten strengthened; not just in her lessons but also in the open gym classes. No matter how large or small the open gym classes are, Jonathan always manages to structure the classes where each student can work on their own skills but he is still able to still coach and give feedback individually. The recent changes to make the parent seating area larger was fantastic!

Jonathan has worked with two of my children (ages 9 and 13) for over 3 years. We have used him for private tumble, open gyms, Ninja/parkour classes, and cheer clinics. He offers great classes and training. He’s also a super nice guy who builds rapport with the kids. If you’re looking for a variety of training then Defy Gravity and Jonathan are it!

Kalista has been taking private lessons with Jonathan for the past 3 years. I feel he is one of the best trainer in Roanoke. He has gotten K so consistent in her tumbling. We have been to a lot of places over the past 6 years and Defy Gravity is the best place for K.

My 2 daughters have been tumbling with Jonathan for years. He has helped them progress steadily in their tumbling skills. He has a unique ability to identify small problems with a skill then offer corrections to help my daughter(s) master the skill with proper form. I highly recommend Defy Gravity!

I used this venue for my son's 6th birthday party. I had an age range of 2 years old to 15 years old, and each and every child had fun! There is a zip line, a trampoline, and many other various ninja warrior style things that the kids had an absolute ball with! Jonathan Hatcher was an absolute saint to work with regarding the planning and payment for the party and I recommend this venue to anyone in search of a venue to have a party. Definitely top notch!

My daughter started with Jonathan a couple years ago and improved more than I could imagine she ever would. He is very patient with her insecurities and watched her every move to instruct her to overcome all the hangups she had. I would definately recommend this training center to anyone needing tumbling help.

The center is large and plenty of room, but they don't have much seating for parents and family. The teachers are good though.
I am updating my review. There is now plenty of room for parents and family. Thanks for making the change!

My nephew is going to this summer camp and is having the time of his life. Britain is amazing with him. She works so well with the kids. From the crafts, to the motivation and encouragement to be active, it is all around the best place for kids to be during summer days.
