U.S. Gold Gymnastics & Cheer Academy

My daughter has only been taking classes here about 6 weeks-I will update as time goes on.UPDATE: we've been here 4 months and I stand by everything I previously wrote!ORIGINAL: I've been nothing but impressed with this place. They are very professional, have an impressive set up, and are very timely. My daughter is in the 3yo class and they always have all the activities ready and well organized. The coaches work together and each child is watched and coached. They get stamps and coloring sheets after each class. They have plenty of seating for parents, and a coloring table. All the skills they rehearse are fun for the kids and my daughter LOVES it. She's already improved just in her few lessons. I can't wait to see how she will grow if we stick with it.

My 2 kids are 4 & 5 & enjoyed this gym & the class. We pulled them out because of ONE instructor. A woman with short brown hair that she often curled... I want to say her name is Molly but I could be wrong. This woman, which I think is one of the managers, on MULTIPLE occasions made the parents feel very uncomfortable watching our own kids in class. She went out of her way to berate grown adults who were sitting EXTREMELY far apart & well back in the waiting room so that we COULD stay far apart, like little children. She would watch us incessantly while 'teaching' our kids, then run inside, crack the door to single-handedly tear down the adult/s that she saw that had a mask that fell below their NOSE. Even if we were eating or drinking, she still did it. She would stand there staring at you until you did exactly as she said, then she would smugly wait longer if it wasn't all the up over the nose to berate you more in front of everyone. "MASK OVER THE NOSE, OVER THE NOSE!" then she would pause, "IT'S STILL NOT ALL THE WAY OVER THE NOSE, I'LL STAND HERE." Now this is only on my 45 min class Wednesday mornings so I can't imagine how much of her day was filled with her psuedo- power trip she pretended she had with the other parents & classes. The class was simply her as watch dog on the adults. No teaching. Do not recommend on this woman alone. She needs to much power to function.

We did not have a positive experience here. My opinion is primarily based off of my daughters experience with one cheer coach here. I recently heard other mothers voicing concern about their younger daughters taking a tumbling class with this same coach. Which is the reason I decided to give a review. This coach was very negative and hard on the girls, never gave them a positive word of encouragement. Cheer is a large financial and time commitment, one of which I would never do again here. Warning to other moms!

My daughter loves this place. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I know many friends whose kids also go to this place.

Send your kid somewhere else! Possible emotional trauma will follow later in life if they are not one of the "favorites". Rude words will be said, your kid will prob be scared of some of the coaches and then won't want to ask when they need something. Will get kicked off the team if you have a mental block for too long... as if they're raising elite gymnasts. They aren't. Broke my pinky during bars when I was maybe 7 (all I knew at the time was that it hurt a lot), was told to forget about it, now it's hella crooked wish I knew to ask my parents to pull me out and send me to a gym more focused on loving all the kids.

We love this gym! Our daughter has been taking class for a year and a half. She loves her coach and has made so much progress!
