Impact Gymnastics

Props to this place mainly for existing. There aren't any gymnastics gyms near us, and this has opened up a new world to my daughter that she loves. Inspired by Simone Biles and the 2024 Olympics, my kid has jumped in (cartwheeled in?) with both feet. Straight up, the lobby and bathroom areas need to be cleaner and I'll stand by that. But the rest of it is pretty nice overall. The teacher seems great and has control of the group. The times I've watched my semi-trepidacious daughter here, I've noticed they move at a pace that doesn't allow for a lot of fear which is important. They sort of just get after it and settle in from there, always a good approach. I can't say we'll go here for a long time based on the distance, but we may because my daughter loves it and we're continuing with it despite the distance for us to travel each week.

I would say Seth is very patient and most of them are understanding and helpful my son had to miss classes do to new born and they def helped with the situation

Brought my 6 and 4 year old to open play to get our energy out in and escape the heat. I am so upset we haven't been here before! $10 per kids for 90 minutes is one of the most affordable activities in Johnson county and it's right in our backyard. All of the kids were playing so well together, and the two young women working were so hands on and involved with every child. We will absolutely be back. It was such a blast!

Cheap to go climbing with or without gear and a kids place for your children and indoor soccer! I suggest automatic belaying equipment for people without a person?

We've been coming to Emerald City for a few years now. My kids have taken part in their rock climbing and gymnastics classes. We've always been very pleased with their classes and staff. The beginner classes are laid back and the kids have a blast. Would definitely recommend if you are looking to try out a new sport!Our favorite part of Emerald City is their open play times. Even if you don't attend classes at the gym you can come to open play times. They are usually on the weekends and on "no school" days. Open play is for kids ages 4-12, but they offer a toddler and parent version during the week as well. It's about $12 per kid to play for 2 hours, but it's worth it. The kids have full use of the gym's climbing and play structures. There's a zip line, foam pit, rope swing, slides, trampolines, etc. The kids aren't allowed on the gymnastics equipment or the rock climbing wall, but there is enough stuff to keep them busy otherwise. Parents are not allowed on the floor during open play, but they have bleachers to sit on that overlook the gym floor. Staff members are on the floor supervising the kids. To find out about open play times you can check their website or follow them on Facebook. They are good about keeping both up to date with current schedules.

My daughter has been attending a preschool gymnastics class at Emerald City for approximately one year now.She LOVES her "coaches" - one has been the same since we began, but the sidekick has switched a couple of times. Each of them has brought something different to the gig - sometimes energy, sometimes enthusiasm, sometimes a personal background in gymnastics, but all of them have been great with the kids, and definitely appear to foster a fun environment.The facility is very large, and there are a lot of areas or stations with different equipment to focus on different aspects of gymnastics. And even then, the gymnastics piece is only half the story - the other half of the facility is an indoor football (the soccer kind) area where leagues play.The gymnastics side has everything I've ever seen or heard of from my years of watching miniature Olympians every four years: rings, vaults, uneven bars, trampolines, balance beams, and rope climbs, with loads of pads and cushions spread all over for safety. There's even a couple large play structures for the little ones, and a rock-climbing wall along the entire backside of the gymnastics half of the gym.Being that this is, essentially, an enormous barn where dozens of tiny athletes come to play and sweat, the climate can get a bit dank and smelly some weeks, but those are few and far between, as they tend to ventilate it pretty well.Overall, a great place to enroll your kids in a gymnastics program, or even host an event such as a birthday party!

We attended Open Play for ages 3-13 with my three- and seven-year-old kids. Fun for kids, nerve-wracking for their parents. They do not allow parents on the gym floor but only have 2 staff (they said there was a third but I never saw them) supervising a massive area which includes advanced gymnastics equipment. Their website says there is plenty of supervision for Open Play / Parent's Night Out; I fail to see how 50+ pre-teens to 2 adults qualifies as adequate. Meanwhile, their "parent corral" balcony does not provide line of sight to much of the premises, including kids being able to wander out of the gym area.About a dozen parents, myself included, chose to ignore their no-parent policy in favor of keeping our kids safe and supervised. This resulted in me having two arguments with two different staff members; they eventually capitulated and allowed parents on the gym floor "for this time only" since we had already paid, the kids were excited, and they did not want to refund me.We will not go back now that we know how inadequate their staffing actually is alongside a nonsensical no-parent policy.

I took my 2 year old son here for the open gym and he had the time of his life. Honestly one of the best activities we've found. If we lived in KC, we'd be back as much as possible.

The photos speak for themselves. I took these on January 16th, 2022. I used to bring my daughter here 4 years ago and the bathrooms have looked the same. This is the only open place I can take my daughter that doesn't have a waitlist. Absolutely disgraceful. The owner must of died and nobody has been keeping up with it. There is no way you can own a place and not know the sanitary conditions of your facility. The men's is identical, my husband used it the same day. If you're restrooms look like this, you are cutting corners EVERYWHERE. What a joke. These are our children that have to use these filthy restrooms, it's unbelievable. I'll continue to share these pictures on social media until it's fixed.

Racist. Staff doesn't care to address my concerns between my child and their instructor. Dropped the class!!
