My 7 year old has been at CSG for 2 years now. We have loved every moment! Dave and Dana have gone above and beyond to make sure all the girls are safe and having fun. Which such small class sizes my daughter has been able to really focus and learn the skills needed to keep improving with every session. COVID response - Dave has done a fantastic job to ensure the girls are in a clean environment and still be able to social distance. We plan to be here for many more years. Thank you guys!

My 8-year-old has been taking gymnastics lessons in the Denver area since she was 2. She spent years at both Gymnastics Plus and DU, and both programs basically had teenagers coaching some basic skills while they cashed your checks and put you on wait-lists. This is NOT the case at CSG. My daughter learned more from coach Dave and his staff in her FIRST SESSION than she did in years at the other programs. I am very involved in her skills development and coach Dave is the first coach to actually help put my daughter on a path to competing. If you're looking for a Denver gymnastics school for your kids, I highly recommend Colorado School of Gymnastics. The class sizes are small, and every child gets the attention of top-notch coaches for the entire duration of the class. It's very disciplined, yet constructive and fun for the kids. I only wish I'd found it sooner.

I signed my 3-year-old up for an 8-week session here and was very disappointed. She had never been in a gymnastics class before, so she was a bit shy going in. Neither of the instructors introduced themselves or gave her a warm welcome. It seemed many of the other students had taken classes at the gym before. My daughter began going through the warm-ups, but soon got lost and stopped. Again, neither the coach nor his assistant even looked at her. I don't expect one-on-one instruction in a group class, but when every other kid in the room is following instructions happily and one kid looks lost and confused, I would expect the teacher to go over and offer some encouragement. After a few more minutes, I could see my daughter calling and waving at me. I did the encouraging mom-wave back, hoping she'd get more comfortable. The instructors continued to ignore her, until she finally started to cry. At that point, the assistant did say something - not sure what - to her, but as my kid was crawling toward the door failing to hold back tears, she STILL peeled off to go help another kid. At this point, of course, I just went in and got my daughter. I may as well have been invisible, too. Neither instructor so much as made eye contact with me. If there had been any - ANY - attempts by the instructors to engage my daughter, I would have tried to get her to give it another go, but as it was, we just left. I don't understand why they bother to offer preschool classes if they don't want to introduce new students to the sport. The classes start at 3 years old, so it's not like I missed some sort of Parent-Tot offering that would have eased my child into things. Honestly, the entire experience was just so bizarre and cold that I'd recommend against this school for any age.

Our daughter has been attending gymnastics at the Colorado School of gymnastics for two years now and we are SO impressed! Coach Dave is amazing - he has great knowledge, wonderful patience and a sense of humor. Our daughter has a blast every class, and went from falling down when attempting a cartwheel to doing one ON a balance beam! It's not overly competitive - he teaches for the love of gymnastics rather than competition and I've never seen my daughter enjoy a sport more. The prices are super affordable as well.

The owner Dave teaches all the classes from Tots on up to Team. His first concern is safety. He can keep all the kids engaged. This engagement begins when he greats the kids in the waiting room. Kids all love him. Kids build on skills that he introduces to them in the Mom and Tots class.

My kids both really enjoyed classes with coach Dave. His is fantastic with the kids, his prices are competitive, and the gym doesn't feel like you are just one of hundreds that don't matter. It's really a fantastic school and the kids all seem to really love the classes. I highly recommend this school.

CSG is welcoming to athletes of all backgrounds. It is inviting and welcomes parents to stay and spectate whenever they can, which is really nice.Regan, the owner, has done a fantastic job creating a website/portal, making everything digital and easy for parents! She is very organized and is great at communicating. She is present and available to parents, athletes and her staff.My daughter looks forward to every workout with her coach and her team. She has gotten so much stronger and more confident with the help of her coach, Morgan. Morgan creates well-rounded lesson plans for her athletes to ensure that they gain skills in a safe and healthy manner. Morgan is very talented and we're lucky to have her. All of the gymnasts are super sweet with one another at CSG and so are the parents!

If I could, I would give CSG a 0/5. I ask you to please read this, as I don't ever want anyone to go through what I did at this gym. I am aware that this review will likely be responded to with insincere apologies to protect the gym's image. But if this gym really cared about its gymnasts, it would have made things right the first of the dozens of times I brought up concerns about how awful the environment was at CSG. If they really cared, I would still be doing gymnastics. If they really cared about anything but their public image, they wouldn't have pushed me through my pain and told me to do skills my doctors didn't want me doing with a healing broken arm. If they really cared, they wouldn't have caused me to have an injury that 2 years later required surgery and has ultimately likely ended my future athletic career. Helen, I'm sorry that was your experience, it was mine too. I was the first of all but 7 of the 20+ original competitive gymnasts to leave, and I hoped that maybe that would cause the coaches to finally notice that what they were doing was causing toxic harm to their gymnasts. It apparently didn't.I was a competitive Excel gold/level 4 gymnast at Colorado School of Gymnastics. I trained at CSG for about 5 years by the time I was forced to quit. Up until 2022, CSG was great. Coach Dave was an amazing coach, but once he left, things at CSG started going very downhill. As mentioned before, the new head coach (Regan Morton) hired several coaches who were extremely young, inexperienced, and emotionally/physically unsafe with gymnasts. Back in February of 2022, I fractured my arm during practice. Once I finally was given the okay to return to training, I was provided many limitations to ensure that my arm healed properly. However, my coaches dismissed what my doctors told me I could do, and pushed me through all of the pain. They told me I was making up my pain and that I was lying about it to get out of practice. As a result, nearly two years later, I was forced to have surgery on my wrist that ended any chance I had at returning to the sport. I have been out recovering from surgery for the past 4 months now, and it looks like that will be the case for many months to come. I was injured many times because of similar scenarios where I was forced to ignore my body and push through the pain.Even worse was the emotional harm caused at this gym. I remember constantly being shamed, compared, and yelled at by my coaches, specifically Coach Morgan. There was one incident that pushed it over the edge for me. My teammates and I were doing conditioning during vault, and I was struggling to do it properly. Coach Morgan started yelling at me, and telling me that I needed to start trying. I responded, telling her that I was trying my best and was struggling. She then yelled at me, telling me that if I was trying, I would have been doing it by then. She told me that all of the other gymnasts could do it, so I was being lazy for not. She then told me that I better get it right this time or else... When I once again told her that I was trying, she sternly told me that if I was going to continue 'arguing' with her, I should go home. I left that practice sobbing harder than I had ever done before. This unfortunately wasn't the only situation like this. Coach Morgan sprayed us with water when we got deductions on our bar routines, wouldn't let us drink water during practice, and forced gymnasts to push through injuries. She coached using shame and caused an immense amount of harm to me. It wasn't uncommon for girls to leave practice in tears. I was especially disappointed that although I advocated for my teammates and myself on many occasions, what I expressed wasn't ever taken seriously. Coach Regan told me that they would address the concerns I just shared, but after 6+ months of continued situations and more expressed concerns with no actions taken, I realized I couldn't do this anymore.I loved competitive gymnastics more than anything. Gymnastics was my life. I can't express how much what CSG did to me physically and emotionally has affected me. For that, if you are reading this CSG, I can't ever forgive you. You took the biggest source of joy in my life and through it out the window. I am still angry with CSG for all they did to me, and hope that you won't let CSG strip your love of the sport from you as they did to me. My experience at CSG is one that will forever be scarred in my memory.

I was on silver on there team and after they switched coaches it WAS TERRIBLE worst thing I experienced their head coach was so rude and always overworking us they made me get hurt so meny time and yelled at me when I wasn't there. They said that they were going to fix my problem and never did. There were meny team girls that quit for the same reason and never fired her. So bad if I could I would give it a -10000 out of 10.
