My daughter loves her class at Jump Start! Miss Maddie is amazing at making my shy child feel comfortable during her class. My daughter loves learning new skills and getting stickers for her chart. It’s amazing how much they can learn in a session. And on a side note, Jump Start birthday parties are super fun too! We have been to three parties, and the activities were different (and fun) for each one!

My girls love going to gymnastics at Jump Start! They are always so excited to go. The instructors do a really good at teaching them new skills. They also have lots of different equipment for the kids to use. I also like that they do evaluations once a month to show your kids progression and what they are able to do. The only downside is that I have two kids and they have to go two separate night, I just wish they had more class offerings during times that worked with my schedule.

We have tried a number of gymnastics places around the QC and we like Jump Start the BEST! Its clean, the teachers are fantastic, there is a wide range of ages and classes, there are fun extras (drop-in, overnights, lunch bunch), the payment and communication is clear and easy, and my kids have fun!We have four boys and they have all loved Jump Start. This gym is especially great for them. We looked for a place that didnt have a competitive element but my boys do really like the star charts to mark their progress and inspire their good work. Gymnastics has really helped our boys excel in all sports! We also really like the kinder-gym class for the really little ones. Its wonderful.HIGHLY recommend!

I took my daughter here half way through the session and she loves it!! I love the fact we can sit and watch what she is doing, the teachers are great, the day and times are perfect!! The only bummer is I wish the parking lot was bigger. Other than that it’s PERFECT!!!

Very well organized and great teachers. We tried other places, but this is the first one we really liked. Smaller groups and the teachers are good at keeping young ones moving so they don’t get antsy or bored.Only thing that would make it 5 stars is more flexibility on cancellations and rescheduling.

We began the Parent / Tot gymnastics for our 2 year old boy! So far we are extremely impressed with the classes, class size, and type of activity and structure for this age group! The facility / parking is a bit run down but if you look past that it’s awesome and engaging.

My daughter is in the parent and tot class. I really enjoy her teacher Maddie. She is great with the kids. I do wish though they would venture into the big gym more often, even if it was to play in the pit or on the big trampolines.

We have been taking our children here since they were 18 months old. The parent tot classes were so much fun. As the our kids have moved up through the years they enjoy the classes. Staff is friendly and the facility and equipment is great!! Also great place to have birthday parties.

My daughter (11 yrs old) enjoys coming each week. She leaves sweaty after a good workout! She is not a competitive gymnast; Jump Start caters to all levels. We like Friday open gyms to bring a friend. We also appreciate free entry to open gyms as a makeup if we miss a regular class (24 hr notice required for that, but we feel that is fair). You can also makeup a class on a different day/with a different instructor.

Weve been involved with Jump Start for more than a year. This has been a great place for my kids to develop physically and mentally. Their instructor teaches well and is understanding. I appreciate the weekly class, open gym opportunities, and non-competitive/self-improvement program structure.

I have a 6 year old daughter that absolutely loves it at Jumpstart. Its great to see her having a good time with friends and getting exercise and learning new skills. Her instructor is great. The only negative that i can think of is the parking. I wish there was a bigger parking lot.

My 9yr old daughter just started level 1 gymnastics at Jump Start in October. She loved that she was already getting to experience the bars within the first couple classes! The staff is so helpful and friendly. Its a non-competative atmosphere which is exactly what we were looking for. I would definitely recommend Jump Start to anyone wanting to get started in gymnastics or tumbling.

My daughter (9 years old) loves it at Jump Start! We have been going here almost 2 years now and she has learned so much! Her teacher has changed a few times, and she has loved every one of them! Plus she has also made some great new friends, she keeps in contact with outside of gymnastics. :)

Our kids have been going to Jump Start for over 4 years. Weve loved every coach and class weve had experience with. They create a relaxed, fun atmosphere and our kids truly look forward to their classes each week!

My kids have been going to Jump Start since August. They love coming to class and have learned so much in the short time they have been there. Holly was so accommodating when trying to find classes that would work for my kids being that they are different ages and skill levels. Both Miss Sue and Miss Alexis have been great instructors and I look forward to seeing how my kids keep progressing in the future.

My daughter has been going since she was 3 and has loved every moment of it. I know she is still little and learning the basics but she has gotten to build her motor skills and learn to socialize and the importance of following instructions too. These are all important aspects of life that Jump Start is helping her build! I also really like that they recognize that certain kids learn at different rates and so they recognize this and move kids to different classes when they see they are ready rather than trying to keep them with the same age group it more based on ability within a general age group.

JSG is a great gym to learn gymnastics skills in a non competitive environment. My daughter has been taking classes for a little over a year there. The staff is friendly and professional. The facilities are clean, and the waiting room is big with windows to watch the classes.

I took lessons with Jon for about 2 years when I was 10 or 11. I am now 18 and still apply those skills. He drills the skills and technique in so it comes naturally. Jon teaches life long skills and morals. Jon will not allow to hear I cant This has seriously impacted my abilities mentally and physically. Seriously one of the best, and this rating is coming from the athlete.

Definitely below expectationsUPDATE: thanks for replying to my review. Our children went to your facility since they were toddlers. I wrote this review at the time we decided to leave, it has been over 2 years since I wrote the review. So, Im sorry I do not remember all the details nor do I care to share it at this point. What I do remember though is that when I complained in person and over the phone back then, you did not care enough to know. We have long moved on and found a better place for our children.

We just started going here and my son absolutely loves this place, I cant understand all the awful things people have said about this place. I can only guess that maybe theyre confused about where they went?? Everyone has been over the top nice, super friendly and helpful. I am so glad we decided on this one, after looking at a lot of other places. Its clean with tons of cool and fun equipment. My son only wishes he could go everyday and gets super disappointed that he has to wait!

Review №51

I completely did not like this facility nor did my daughter. Coach John tickles the girls which I thought was completely inappropriate. My daughter did not look forward to practice. We quit in writing and I followed up a week before the next billing cycle to make sure we were not charged.

Review №54

My daughter attends classes at JSG. I have had nothing but good experiences with the facility.For those that complain about the owner being confrontational about you dropping your kids and continuing billing until a formal drop slip is filled out, all I can say is, Cant you read??? There are signs posted ALL OVER on the bulletin boards saying a formal drop must be filled out or you will still be charged. Its no ones fault but your own if you pay so little attention to large signs posted for you to read.Johns a very straightforward business owner. Hes not out to scam people. His programs are excellent, low pressure, and designed to give your kids personal confidence and the ability to do gymnastics in a setting where they can also have fun.

Review №55

Agree with what several other users have said. The people/instructors are rude. When we signed up we werent told that you had to drop out of the class before the next sessions started. We thought we were signing up for an 8 week class to introduce our child to the class. We were told that it was an 8 week class and if our child enjoyed it they would set us up for the next class. When the 8 week class was coming towards an end, I called to let them know that we would not be continuing on after the 8 week class. They informed us that we would have to fill out a drop out form. No problem, until we went in on to the class night to fill out the piece of paper. I explained to them our reasoning for not continuing, it was a scheduling conflict that didnt work for us (maybe in the future it would have). They were rude and said it was too late for us to drop out because they had already registered us. I again explained why it didnt work, and the lady snapped at me saying Im not going to argue with you and then walked away. I asked Are you really going to be like that to me? Then one of the other girls piped up that I came up there rude first. I explained that I wasnt being rude I just needed to drop our child from the class because it wasnt going to work and that they just needed to give me the form to do so. They did end up giving me the form to drop. If they would have just done that to begin with I might have considered going back or would perhaps recommend them but after my experience and then reading others experiences that is just too similar to mine it seems they have a pretty standard response, rudeness. Avoid them and take your business elsewhere.

Review №57

I signed up my son for gymnastic classes for young kids this summer. We absolutely love it so far. We checked out another gymnastics place in the QC area before signing up for Jump Start gymnastics and JumpStart was an absolute winner. Miss Holly is absolutely great with little kids and the class is structured in a way that kids learn some gymnastics fundamentals and have fun too. The class is 45 minutes and every minute of it is spent efficiently.The only thing that I didnt like was that to try out a session to decide whether to sign up for it or not, you actually have to fill out the complete registration form. It was a bit odd providing all the contact information and signing something where you agree to not miss payments etc. if youre only coming to one trial session. They dont ask for any financial information on the form though. But we ended up signing up for the classes anyways because they were really good so I guess it was all ok. Still, the other place had a short form specifically for a trial session (just name of my kid and my signature under some liability statement) and I felt that that was more appropriate.

Daughter has gone to a few places in the Quad Cities. At Jumpstart, she was actually losing gains she had made with Kathy at Tumble Time.Then after overpaying due to jacked up billing, John refused to refund our overpayment, instead only offering to use the money in the future. Wrong. Unethical. Its my money, not his. Wont return calls to resolve it.Arrogantly claimed to me that he has 600 people on his waiting list to get in. Well, make it 599. Will not give another dollar to an unethical thief.Go to other places and get better value and deal with honest people.Chris

My 5 year old is in a class that is one hour long they stretch for 25 minutes when the teacher doesnt teach them how to do it correctly, then the teachers stand around and talk to each other while my child waits. Not worth all the money for sure!
