Ocean Tumblers Gymnastics

A premature review ... but so far so good. My first visit was during a parents night out. My daughter and a few of her friends participated in this weekly event. For the most part they enjoyed themselves, but suggested more flip time.My second visit was for a birthday party on a Saturday afternoon.The birthday party was cool... there was one attendant for the party and the party consisted of at least 12 children.The party attendant pretty much stayed on schedule the entire time. I guess the kids were having a good time, but it seemed to robotic of a party IMO.A birthday party perk...the birthday child draws a name and the child selected wins one free month of classes courtesy of the center. At this particular party, the parent filled out a card and the cards we placed in front of the birthday child and my child card was chosen!! Talk about excited! I cannot wait to use this reward and therefore, I will give a more detailed review of the center. But as of now, so far so good.I did witness a few practices going on during the birthday party and the girls seemed super focused.The center is huge and it includes upstairs and downstairs. There is a small shopping area as well. The air fresh, but the gym did smell a bit like feet...As of now, I would recommend you check this place out. It's located in the industrial area of Chesapeake (Greenbrier area) where other warehouse style buildings are located. Parking is limited. And the center is minutes from Greenbrier Mall and other shopping.Have fun and enjoy life :)

Ocean Tumblers gymnastics has been an awesome location for our kids to learn gymnastics. The coaches are excellent and the staff is friendly. My son loves the boys ninja's class and has really grown in strength, confidence, and agility. My daughter loves her gymnastics class.

Extremely Poor Customer ServiceThe front desk clerk argued with me about 1 make-up day. She claimed I could not make up a day past 30 days, but when I asked for documentation of this policy, she was unable to produce it. It is not included with any of the material provided to new students. With 1 hour a week for $67.00 a month, she chose to save $16.75 but lost $67.00 a month for the next x number of years. We'll find another gym that doesn't make up rules on the fly and is more accommodating to its students.

The facilities are clean and spacious, and love that the toddler classroom is set apart from the open gym. However, 2 out of the 3 instructors for the younger girls seemed to have no desire to actually be there, and the one that my daughter was assigned to on her trial day did absolutely nothing in terms of helping my daughter to learn the drills, even when my daughter asked for guidance multiple times. Disappointing to say the least. We won't be back.

Ocean Tumblers Gymnastics in Chesapeake is AWESOME! I honestly have nothing but positive things to say. The teachers are patient & lots of fun. My daughter looks forward to going to class each week & that makes Mommy & Daddy very happy. This place is gigantic. Any type of gymnastics-related thing you could ever dream of can be done here. They even hold gymnastics competitions here as well. Overall, a very awesome place to bring your kids to if they are interested in gymnastics.

My 7 and 10 year old lovvvvve Ocean Tumblers. Also, my neighbors daughter and many more of my children's classmates attend there. They were actually referred to us by Richmond Olympiad saying they do amazing in competitions. Having seen some myself they do take home quite a bit of medals. They're efficient, courteous, and overall gave us the wow factor our children and hard earned money deserve. Thank you Ocean Tumblers!

We come here for gymnastics meets. They have very little parking, so you park on the street. Many of the local businesses do not allow you to park in their lots, so you have to be careful about parking. Police were there last visit checking tow away zones. However, they did announce car tags so you could move before being towed. They have seating downstairs and up for meets. It's a gymnastics meet....it's crowded no matter what. But you have a choice here in level. They always have food for sale for good prices. And usually have something warm like hot dogs, bbq, or chicken. Smells good. They have a store as well. And doll items! Cute gym accessories for 18 in dolls. Bathroom is tiny. People I encountered were all very nice. So my review is based on visiting the gym as a spectator only. No opinion on classes since we don't go here.

The building that you have to pack into like sardines is small with out of date equipment that is duct taped up. I know what people pay to come here and it is outrageous over priced !! The building smells horrible and there is no where to sit. The parking is ridiculous. I would say stay away and no matter what don't keep feeding this money cow and make them fix things up to be you should see when paying more than a mortgage to have your kid attend !

I've taken my child here and Gymstrada when I moved but we moved back to an area that is close to Ocean Tumblers so we signed her up ASAP and we like this place a lot better. They take more time with your child and it's always the same instructors. I feel more comfortable here and so does my child. They're more friendly. The new gym is very nice and clean. Overall this place seems to be the best and most professional in the area.

My daughter has been part of Ocean Tumblers(OT) since she was 2 1/2 years old. She is now on team and turning 14. We have never had any issues with the gym. When I felt something was not working well with my daughter, I would talk to the coach and we work together to find a common ground. If I were to compare OT to another gym such as the one where we practice when we are out of state on vacation, OT's techniques are equivalent to theirs and they produce top gymnast, as so does OT. So I believe that OT's training techniques are of a higher performance than other gyms locally. You can't get any better than this. To the reviewer Tracy B - If you are referring to a banquet slideshow from the past 4 years, you are referring to me not the gym. The slideshow is strictly done by photos that were sent in from parents and I produce a slideshow based on what was received. Do not accuse me of applauding girls for doing gymnastics outside of the gym. I dedicate hours of my personal time to produce a video showing the girls friendships towards each other and their love for the sport. And I must say, it's one heck of a slideshow each year; one that no other gym has! It is one of my ways I give back to the gym for all that they do in coaching my daughter.I wouldn't dream of going to another gym. We started out in the Parent Tot class and loved that coach and each and every year, the coaches were great. And we look forward to celebrating our senior year with the gym!
