Tricks Gymnastics

Awesome Coaches and Owners. They have a great philosophy and love their gymnasts. Great classes for babies and toddlers too. Focus on building confidence and self-​esteem in the students! Something everyone could use more of.

Smaller place then then the other gymnastic places that we been to. But they sure got everything. From gymnastic to dance to swimming classes. My two sons are taking a swimming lesson here. They loved it and cant wait to come back. Unlike the bad experience we had at another swimming class. After one lesson they refuse to go back and was haunted every time we drove past the place. Tricks is very experience with kids. They get the kids involved and enjoying it while they are learning.

My daughter has come to tricks throughout the last 4 years. It has been a great experience. I do think the gymnastics is a little repetitive every week, and swim coaches can maybe challenge my daughter a bit more. However, everyone is very nice and welcoming. We enjoy going every time.

My 4 year old is enrolled in a swim class here. I’ve had my other child enrolled previously. Having tried Steve Wallen school in EDH, this place is very different. And cheaper.
I do like that I can sit inside the pool room, although according to a sign posed, it can be slightly uncomfortable for the observer, kept at 86° and 55% humidity. Great for the swimmers, though.
There is a max of 4 kids to each instructor and based on age/​experience level. We are at basically the first level up from the parent/​tot class, and currently have Mr. Matthew as an instructor. He is great and makes the kids laugh, while teaching them safety and basics.
I recommend scheduling the first class of the day (9:00am is earliest) because the it doesn’t seem as hot and humid yet as it can be near he end of the day. Also, if you wait for a 4pm or 5pm class, the parking lot is CRAZY. I’ve had to park in the Goodwill lot next door a couple of times before. No big deal, but towing two preschoolers across the parking lot when they’re tired, hungry, and wet near the end of the day can be a chore.
Tuition is due 25^th of each month, prepaid for the following month. They offer a little discount for multiple class and siblings. Making up classes that you miss due to illness or otherwise are super easy to reschedule. Just have to call the front desk and they will find an open spot. Doesn’t have to be with your instructor, just the same class level.
With two kids in different class levels and not being able to find a class held at the same time as the other, I sometimes feel like I live at Tricks. As the kids want to be enrolled in other classes like gymnastics or dance, it’ll only get worse. But it’s one stop shopping, I guess. Based others experiences and reviews, it’s more of a fun thing for the kids rather than the other dance studios that have a more strict curriculum.

I personally think the group swimming lessons are a waste of money. Especially if you have young children taking lessons. You get 45 minutes and depending on the temperament of the kids in a particular group. Your child might actually only get minutes of actual lessons.
Their summer camps are terrible. They give an age range 6 – 10, it’s really more for 6 year old. My daughter who was 10 was pretty much ignored. At one point during the day mind you mid summer the kids were taken outside to draw with chalk. My daughter had asked to go inside because of the heat. The ladies told me daughter to stay under a tree. Where she stood watching the younger kids. They ignored her. Insensitive and careless staff.

My daughter is in Coach Andy’s gymnastics class and we absolutely love it. He does a fantastic job with the kids and they adore him! My daughter asks when we are coming back to gymnastics as soon as we leave class.

Great venue for young ones learning to swim, maybe not for older kids as the pool is quite small. My 4 year old absolutely LOVES «Mr. Weston» who is a wonderful fun instructor for getting little ones comfortable and confident in the water. She has made such progress with him and asks all week when we can go back to swim class since she loves it so much. I highly recommend him specifically for young kids as he is fun and patient and extremely good at what he does.

this place is horrible!.. the staff dont know how to work with kids and are so lazy!.. i will not bring my kids here:(

We took our 2 year old here and she really liked it. We did a dance class and followed up with gymnastics. Staff was nice and I liked that they provide gymnastics, swim and dance.

Friendly staff, great with kids! My girls have gone here off and on for over 4 years. It’s a small little place but many an activity for the lil tykes.

Great place for children learn how to swim. My son love miss Mary (his teacher) very much. She is great with kids.

We tried one of the crawler classes b/​c of a groupon.
Pros: It’s in a very nice clean location.
The staff are very nice & seem to be caring/​loving to the babies.
Extra people are welcome on the floor w/​mommy & baby.
They have very cute interactive holiday shows (even for the babies).
They have lots of things for babies to crawl over.
Cons: After 4 weeks, the curriculum/​activities didn’t vary at all. There is more variation each week at their competitor (MyGym).
There are a lot of hard metal leg bases on the floor for babies to hurt themselves on if you’re not constantly watching them.
Overall, we liked it, but it might be better to go to MyGym, or The Little Gym (if you’re willing to drive) while they’re little & try Tricks when they’re older.

We have been a Tricks family since 2006. I have two children, and they both love attending their gymnastics classes. My daughter also attends dance lessons at the school. What I love about Tricks is their positive atmosphere. They make gymnastics fun, and not intimidating. They also teach important skills such as sign language, learning to work as a group, some musical components, as well as basic skills (waiting your turn, treating others with respect & kindness etc.).
The staff are friendly and helpful. I know that one day, both my children will have positive memories of their experiences at Tricks.

We love Tricks. We have been going to Tricks for 5 ½ years now, since my daughter was 18 months old Now both my kids go there for gymnastics. I love how the coaches incorporate life skills with their classes: like patience and good listening ears. Both my kids look forward to class each week and get really excited every month when they get their numbers for their skill posters.
The coaches and office staff are so friendly. Like Gerika said, the office is really flexible & accomodating when I have to schedule a make-​up class. I highly recommend this place.

We LOVE Tricks! Between my 2 kids, we have done gymnastics, ballet, and swimming here. All are great! The teachers are very patient, kind, and positive. You can tell they love their job. I appreciate the fact that each class is developmentally appropriate for the child’s age and skill level. Children are encouraged, not pushed. An element of sign language, concepts of letters, colors, and numbers are also incorporated into each class, which is an added bonus! My only con is that it is on the pricy side, but as the old addage goes… you get what you pay for, and in this case, that is a good thing :)

We love this place so much! My daugther is 3 and has been attending classes here since age 1. She has done dance, gym and swim classes. They have so many wonderful teachers who are really amazing with the children. They incorporate shapes, colors, sign language and much more into all of their classes. Miley learned so much about listening and following directions, as well the basics of swim, dance, and gym. I can’t tell you how much we love going to tricks.

We have our son enrolled in swim lessons at this Tricks Gym location. Overall we are happy with the place.
They have a lot of classes of various types here at any given time… so it can be a bit of a zoo. However, all the staff are very nice, and the instructors do a good job of focusing on the students in their class.
If you are looking for a more aggressive swim/​survival type instruction, this is not the place for you. I’m not quite into the ‘throw your kid in the pool — he’ll figure it out” technique… but I think they could push them a bit harder. Of course for the monthly fee, they’re probably happy to let him take his time. ;-)
Even with as many children take classes here, it is very clean and well organized. It would probably be four stars if it were either a little cheaper, or if they offered a better multiple-​class discount.
