My daughter went here for 2 years. Was great at first, but then all the coaches ever do is yell at the kids when the do something wrong except Casey. Noma yanked my child arms down one day pretty hard. Very unprofessional. Her coach Casey was awesome, wish we could just use her. They also give special treatment to the ones that have money. If you dont have money they can be really rude to your child. They yell at them if they cry even when they get hurt and they let kids still compete when injured and sick. One child had the Flu and they let her go compete at a competition with lots of other kids there. Way to go get everyone sick with the flu . My daughter is so much happier not being there.

I have personally been training at Nomas for five months (starting in January), and I have progressed from knowing nothing at all about gymnastics to being on a level three team. They expect me to advance to level four before the end of the year. The coaches are as hands on as they can be, and they teach better technique than any surrounding gym. From the very beginning they teach things correctly, rather than basically. I would recommend Nomas to anyone who genuinely wants to compete gymnastics. If for some reason the student isnt passionate about progressing, then going to a gym with less demand for excellence may be better suited for them.

My daughter began classes at about 3 1/2 years old and has progressed to the level one team at 5. I want to mention that taking gymnastics was always her idea, and her mother and I have only tried to support her.The recreation class is just that it is basic forward rolls , etc. There are classes for younger students, but they do not do the FUN stuff that a lot of the more tumble related places do. The coaches are evaluating the childs ability to not only tumble, but pay attention, and learn the fundamentals of competitive gymnastics.Kids that have stayed with the program have really developed their talents. The overall goal is not for the students to stay in a rec class, but to progress to the team. There are other places that focus more on the tumbling aspects, and do not really bring the core skills into the picture until the child is older. That is amazing for some children. I think a lot of the time the parents are looking to have an exercise for their child, Nomas is more for the child that wants to learn gymnastics, not for the parents who are looking for a place to sit while the child plays.

*****S/O TO NOMAS GYMNASTICS!!!****Today, I took my daughter to gymnastics and checked in with the staff to see if she had any fees owed. (My ex-husband usually takes her.) The lady behind the counter states that everything is paid up and I owe for this class. I ask the lady if they took debit cards and she stated no, only cash or check. I informed her that I was going to go to the bank to get the money to pay the $15 fee. She stated that was fine and off I went. I went to the bank, burger king, and into the parking lot to eat my food. I have 30 mins to spare before class is over. I look in my mirror and notice MY DAUGHTER IN THE PARKING LOT HEADED TO A CAR WITH SOEMONE I DIDNT KNOW! I jumped out in a panic and screamed DAYLIN NO!! She ran to my car and one of the staff members come to my car and yells YOU NEED TO COME INSIDE AND PAY YOUR LATE FEES and started walking off. I said excuse me, she then turns around and says WHILE YOU ARE OUT HERE, YOU SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF YOUR FEES. Im floored and did I mention my child is WALKING AROUND WITH NO SHOES OR SOCKS ON!!? Ok, whats really going on. By this time, Im floored by the behavior and her attitude!! I go into the gym and confront the woman and asked her why would she take my kid outside looking for me without any shoes on. The same crazy staff begins to say..THEY SAY YOU NEVER PAY ON TIME AND YOUR ALWAYS LATE PICKING UP YOUR KID. Not me, the fees were paid a month in advance By this time Im LOUD bc the staff memeber says YEA, GO HEAD AND SHOW YOUR TRUE COLOR!!! Needless to say, it didnt go well. I write this to say, if you think its ok for them to take your child out of gym to look for their money, talk reckless to an on time paying parent, and then have to apologize because you then realize you have mistaken identity...YOU SHOULD CHECK YOUR STAFF OR CLOSE YOUR BUSINESS!! NOW YOU WANNA HUG IT OUT! I FORGIVE BUT I DONT FORGET!

We used this gym for 11 months and in that time we were very disappointed and also deeply disturbed by things we witnessed. If your child wants to excel at competitive gymnastics this is NOT the place. During our time at this gym we witnessed many unprofessional moments. The owner Noma and her wife Diane yell at the staff in front of the children and parents and always made us uncomfortable hearing them talk so unprofessionally out in the open, conversations should have taken place in private. We witnessed Noma poking young girls in the belly and yelling at them about their eating habits. Noma also made level 2 and up drink protein shakes which are highly unhealthy for young childrens growing bodies and organs. Noma puts the parents to work as coaches, they do not make them become USGA certified, and we witnessed a large portion of her teams suffer injuries due to lack of knowledge by coaches. Routines were taught differently from coach to coach and the kids suffer due to lack of consistancy. Our final straw was the day Diane decided to become enraged toward another coach, days after an alleged physical altercation, Diane was in the middle of the floor screaming and was told to be quiet but she could not control her rage and this was taking place in front of my seven year old daughter and I found the behavior to be completely unaccetable. Diane also alleged that she would bring a gun into the gym and shoot the coach whom she had a physical and verbal altercation with. I do not take threats of gun violence lightly and we immediatly found our daughter another gym. Noma has also refused to provide us with phyical items that we purchased, nor will she provide a refund for the items or the credit of money that we had in our account. Bottom line is Nomas Gym is a hotbed for fraud, injury, and complete unprofessionalism, as well as psychologically dangerous for young girls with developing body image. I wish I had pictures to post because the gym is filthy as well. The area for toddlers is not cleaned weekly and always looks dusty and there are massive trash piles under the bleachers, very unsanitary. Noma has a high rate of turnover of coaches and from the things I witnessed in 11 months I am not surprised, this gym is horrific...
