The only way they stay in business is by taking advantage of the non-profit lie. They are staffed by untrained, inappropriate girls. All the way up to the top. Their sensory hour is a flat out lie. This place should be shut down.

My daughter went here for gymnastics classes from around 3 to 4 years of age. I think it is a great place to introduce your kid to gymnastics. Teachers try to mix up gymnastics learning with fun activities for little kids. The place seems very well equipped for all ages and stages. There is a vast schedule to choose from, for each class. Their make up policy is very generous too. I have attended birthday parties here as well and the kids always had fun. Seemed well organized and the hosts seemed enthusiastic.There were some issues for me though. My child needed a little bit of hand holding since she takes time to warm up. And I dont think teachers are trained to handle younger kids that way. That was not a problem for most parents of course, but it was for me. Second, the viewing gallery for parents is too chaotic. Thats the waiting area for parents and also has a small ball pit area. Its also where kids are taking off their jackets, shoes etc and putting them in cubbies. Teachers are taking kids through this area to walk to the other side of the gym. It gets way too crowded and chaotic. They really should streamline that area.

I have been very pleased with oregon gymnastics academy for my two young children on 6 & 3 years of age. My daughter comes here weekly for class and gets lots of personalized attention from the young coaches. She is progressing well and learning many skills. Also love the open gym on weekends for 1.5 hours of upod exercise fir my 3 year old son!

The gym is wonderful but when my daughter was going there for a whole year she really didnt learn anything a lot of the instructors are in and out they keep changing teachers constantly so she has no common ground . Once she gets a good teacher gets changed out to another teacher thats like a cheerleader not even a gymnastics teacher . I believe they do not challenge the kids enough . They just keep teaching the same thing over and over and its so basic that my daughter is very very sports active and wasnt able to learn anything she is on the swim team in the Advance very quickly because she had great teachers I believe that their teachers do not teach how to Advance . Very very basic stuff, they need to teach them how to advance they need to challenge them Waymore

Terrible for toddlers. Terrible parking.Here, theyre adamant about having the kids warm up on the main gymnastics floor before bring them into a toddler room where they essentially walk a balance beam 2 inches off the floor, pull hula hoops over their bodies, and try to lift themselves off the ground by grabbing a bar a few inches over their heads. I get the need to teach warm up, but I dont know how necessary it was at this age and for these simple activities.Anyway, my 3-year-old daughter wants to go to this toddler room, so she has to do the warm up on the main floor. The problem is that all of the noise and activity on the main floor freaks her out, and the warm up is on one of those spring platforms that goes up and down and bangs when jumped on. This really freaks her out, so she clings to me crying rather than participate. So then after warm up, we all go upstairs to the toddler room and the instructor COLDLY says she cant come in because she didnt warm up.My daughter was devastated and I was furious. She was had only just turned 3 and I think time in the toddler room would have made her happy and more comfortable for the next warm up. How do you kick a willing and excited 3 year old out of a class? We tried one more time, same result, so I stopped taking her. The worst part is that she thinks she cant do it, like its her fault, which breaks my heart.The OGA folks have zero concept of how a toddlers mind works and how relatively unsocialized and fragile they are. Kids this young need to feel welcomed and encouraged, not shamed and left behind. Shameful.

A great family environment and the staff has such a willingness and want to bring out the best in all the students they teach and families they impact. Ive worked with OGA for almost ten years, as an adult student, and business to business. The team at OGA is so friendly, professional and willing to do what it takes to provide the best classes and facilities. I highly recommend this place and hope youll find this recommendation an inspiration to try em out as they truly are worth it.

Im sure its weird to do gymnastics while being watched by all the parents, but they are supportive and enthusiastic about the kids.

Oregon Gymnastics Academy is more then just a gymnastics facility, it is an organization in service to the community and a family to its members. I did gymnastics from when I was 8 to 16 years old here. In this time coach Leonard Spivey instilled work ethic and self-discipline into our team that not only drove us to be the dominate gymnastics force in the state but also gave me the tools to endure the up hill battle of starting my own businesses - businesses Oregon Gymnastics Academy went to great lengths to help support at start-up.OGA is not the kind of place that forgets about you. They welcome all members back with open arms. Myself and many of my old team members worked in this fun and motivated environment. The internal culture of the organization echos the lessons learned as a child - healthy lifestyle, self-discipline, work ethic and above all enjoying life and having fun.It has been amazing to see this organization grow to what it is today.

After coming to this place for the first time I was amazed at how huge it was. This place really had a lot of everything a kid needs to be a gymnast. My daughters first intro class was awesome with only 3 kids in the class and a great male teacher. She came smiling to me that she loved it so I signed her up. However they ended up canceling that class so we had to be on a wait list. We finally got her into a class but it was NOTHING like the other class. The teacher did not spend any one on one time correcting the children and there were a lot more kids in that class. My daughter told me she was bored and the class was not fun or challenging for her.For my toddler son we tried classes too. Being only 3 and not taking a structured class before it was a struggle. They told me I had to pay for private lessons for my toddler! I said ok but then I could not get anything scheduled. So when we would come and take my daughter to gymnastics he would cry and ask why he couldnt do gymnastics too? I finally dropped my daughter because she was so unhappy with her class and a year later STILL no phonecall to arrange a private class for my son. What a joke.We started going to Metrogymnastics and WOW what a difference. They have an OUTSTANDING toddler program and incredible teachers. Teachers that take the time to get to know and understand the needs of each child. I was really impressed with their program.So in the end I wont be taking my children back to OGA.

If your child is older, this review may not apply to you, but if youre interested in starting your child at a younger age... READ ON....I took my just-turned 3 year old daughter here for her first gymnastics lesson. I am NOT going back and requested a refund. Sure, this gym looks awesome because it has everything, but its HUGE, and there are SO many people inside. I showed up early and met a few people at the front, but then joined the herd on the inside. There were so many kiddos! My girl was excited to come, and wed been talking about it for a few weeks, so she was well prepared. But again, there were so many people inside and she immediately got shy. A young man showed up to take the kiddos down from the parents balcony viewing area, and didnt notice her at all so I made sure to mention her name to him and that it was her first time. Annndd then it went downhill:Bad things that happened:1. They called her the wrong name for 10 minutes, so she wasnt responding to them when they spoke to her.2. When they split the group into two by their names from a long line against the wall, every kid got called except mine. She was left alone on the wall. They were about to split to another area when they noticed her still sitting there. The young man then mentioned that she was new, so they found a spot for her with the other kiddos.3. In the smaller group, one instructor, CJ, was AWFUL. They were walking the beam and mine had never even been on one. She was asking them to do specific moves on it as they walked down, which of course, my daughter was clueless to. After one turn on it, she went and sat down and no longer participated while the others were going right back to the end of the line and were being helped by CJ. They all knew what they were doing, and did a few tricks too. It seemed like the complete wrong class for my beginner. My daughter quickly lost interest and started creeping up the stairs back to me. She sat down and watched the others practice from there. Then CJ walked them all to other other side of the gym to the bathrooms, and was yelling at my daughter to come over to them. Then she looked up at me, and yelled at me in front of all the other parents, If your daughter isnt going to join us, you need to come get her. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? Thanks for trying! She wasnt even doing anything wrong - just sitting. I immediately got her, put her shoes on and left the gym. WORST experience ever.I do have to mention Peyton, who was a gem of an employee. She was working with my daughter at the beginning (after I let them know they were calling her the wrong name) to get her comfortable and sit with the others and do what they were doing. My daughter was doing great after Peyton helped her, but as soon she was split into another group with CJ, she turned off.Unless your child is completely comfortable in new environments with a lot of other students, you may want to reconsider this place. It seems there is no beginner process. You just get stuck to a certain age group. It was overwhelming to say the least. I am going to search for a smaller gym that is more personable. This gym seems more focused on quantity than quality, and I am not a fan. It might be a better place to return to when shes older.
