Paramount Tumbling & AcroGymnastics

My daughter wanted to learn gymnastics. I went into PTA to inquire about classes. The guy at the front desk was very helpful in explaining their policies and payments. He offered one complementary class to see if my daughter would like it. I was given all the paperwork for my records so I would know what was expected. It clearly stated when and if they would refund so those reviews upset about no refund probably didn’t follow policy. When we would miss a class, they had two options. This is a small gym so I was grateful for the two they offered and was able to make one work. I like the small gym and my daughter loves coach Gary and I’ve observed the other coaches teaching group classes and one-​on-​one coaching. They all are good and I can see my daughter staying here for a number of years as she grows in skill.

Love this gym! All the teachers are great. And the class structure is very nice. Everyone warms up together before breaking off into smaller classes.
My ONLY complaint– there are no classes offered on Sundays :(

I am not sure why this place has such poor reviews. My daughter who is 7 has taken 2 classes here thus far and the instruction is far superior to other gymnastics places that we’ve been to, especially west valley gymnastics. My daughter was at west valley for 3 years and really learned nothing but cartwheels. The instructors there were more babysitters whereas here, there are only few but all of them have tumbling and acrogymnastics experience as well as experience As coaches. They give actual feedback, keep the kids on task and teach them skills! In fact, the owner is from the Ukraine and coached his son to second place in acrogymnastics in the world. That son is an instructor here too and he tours with cirque de Soleil apparently. I think my daughter has gotten more from just two classes here than in all the years at west valley. On the first trial class, the head coach observed her for 20 minutes before taking her aside to do a one in one skills assessment. Then he came and told me she needs to love up to the next level. I think she will make excellent progress here and she can apply those skills to dance. Sure the place can have better ventilation, but the odor is similar to all other sports facilities. Also, Because it is a family run business, you can’t always get someone on the phone so I am looking for a way to email them about stuff ie missed class. Will update my review once I experience having to find make up classes.

My son and daughter have been attending classes here for the last 6 months. Gary, the instructor, is amazing. In just one session I have seen him manage to sensitively coax a terrified tiny little girl to do a flip over the high beam (her face just lit up when she managed it and to be honest I have no idea how he got her to do it because she was literally terrified — but he just seemed to quietly coax her into having the confidence to do it). He then managed to both calm down and encourage a child with what seems to be autism, when he got frustrated, and at the same time, he is able to keep my son in line when he starts to misbehave. My son, in the past, has had difficulties with people in authority — not at all with Gary… Gary is straightforward and consistent with him.
That is just the class management — on top of all this, my children’s skills have definitely improved. When we first joined the class, my daughter ran down the trampoline like Phoebe in ‘Friends’, jumped 10 times before attempting the flip at the end, and then ended with a sideways flop. After only a couple of months, she is now running smoothly down the trampoline, jumping once and doing a neat, smooth flip (most of the time).
Most importantly, my kids love going there (and these are kids that I have struggled with signing up for any after school classes).
As a note to the previous negative reviews: when I joined, the front desk person clearly explained the make-​up policy and the payment structure. I don’t think they deserve 1 star just because you don’t like their payment structure. In the summer, they are very flexible with the make-​up policy as they understand that people go on vacation. We get unlimited make-​up classes during the summer that we can schedule. Also, I haven’t been to a gymnastics place that doesn’t smell — I have found that this place smells a lot less than somewhere like West Valley.

Signed my daughter up for gymnastics with her friends the instructor were a little rough. Mostly disappointed with the obligation to pay and pay until you officially drop out. I didn’t read the fine print. I thought I was just signing up for month to month enrollment. Now have to pay for another month even though we didn’t attend.

My daughter has been going there since Feb 2013. We love the place! The facility is clean, the coaches are nice and always there to help. Coach Anatoly and Gary are wonderful! My daughter is getting alot from there. If you want a professional acrobatic and tumbling training, this is the place to go.

My daughter used to go to this gymnastic for almost a year. Everytime my daughter was sick they would not give you a make up class easily. They would give you hard time in making replacement and also they would not credit your money back so I ended up wasting lot of money. When you compare to other gymastic place, they don, t have many classes so make up is really hard and they are also open for limited time .We also had our daughters bd party held at Paramount Tumbling and AcroGymnastics. The facility was smelling, restrooms were ok.
Also the party room was not fully set up, party room is very small, there is not much room to move around. So we didn’t enjoyed that celebration there. I don’t like the owner (Russian women), she is very rude and very difficult person to deal with.

I would give it 3 and half star since my experience was more then A-​OK but less then Yay I like it. I had my son’s bd party held at Paramount Tumbling and AcroGymnastics last weekend. The facility is clean, restrooms are clean. When we arrived, there was an older lady there that kind of lead us to the party room but not as a I am here to help you, nor was there anybody to actually greed us and tell us what/​where/​how or if you have questions and/​or concerns this is X and she/​he will be to go to person. Also the party room was not fully set up, we had to pull more chairs (we had reserve up to 19 kids but I think the set up was for 14) The party room is definitely on the small side and with 3 tables and chairs there is not much room to move around. As far as the entertainment, the two teachers were good but I would hope they would be more enthusiastic with 4 years old crowd. Plus many activities did require parent involvement, I would suggest either more teachers or a bit smaller activity area that two teachers can manage mostly. I would appreciate if the teachers come over to introduce themselves and be more in charge. Also I did not hear any music, apparently it was played in the background but not loud enough to possibly make it a more upbeat! Overall, my son and his friends were happy and had good fun and workout. That is where my 3 and a half come from, but again there is a room for improvement.

Professional staff! Lots of fun for kids!

I purchased a voucher for Paramount through
for one (1) month of Recreational Classes for our 5 year old son. When we called to schedule a class we informed the answering staff of our voucher and she explained we could begin classes the next session– which began the following week.
When we arrived for our scheduled class, the staff then informed us they no longer will accept the Living Social voucher and stated we must pay a yearly fee of $ 60 for our son to participate in the class that day.
Our son was very excited about the gym and was ready to tumble with the rest of the kids he was meeting in the lobby. We didn’t have the heart to pull him out after we built the activity up as a reward for helping out extra around the house.
The staff was very discourteous, rude, and demanding.
Our son did have fun and the instructors seemed very nice and knowledgeable, but I’m sure there are better managed facilities in the area we can patronize.
