This place is amazing!! My son and daughter started mini tumbling here less than a month ago and their skills improved so much that my son who is 6 years old just moved up to level 1!! John is very good with the kids and takes the time to help out each and everyone of them individually. He also communicates well with our family letting us know our kids progress. The place is also very clean and well kept!! Everything about this place is awesome! If you’re looking for a place where the instructors will push your kids to reach their greatest potential, this is the place for them!

I am at a lost of words to explain how impressed I am with the coaching of Coach John and what he has been able to teach my daughter in just two months. This is the first time my daughter feels good about herself and her seeing the improvements herself has gained such an amazing ego for her. I could not be any happier!

The coaches really work with the kids to try and get the best out of them. Coach John is great and straight forward with you tells you what your kid needs to work on. And coach Jessica is amazing she takes your step by step until they get what she is teaching them. Im very happy that I signed my daughter up.

My daughter started at Cheer Destiny to get ready for high school cheer tryouts. Coach Cat quickly took her from not being able to to a back bend to being able to back and front walk-overs and now is helping her to get her back handspring. Coach Cat is a master motivator, and knows how to combine fun and firmness to help her athletes progress. My daughter loves her private lessons with Cat, and also has worked with many of the other awesome coaches in classes and now on a team as well. We feel that we are in the right place to get ready for high school cheer! Thanks Cheer Destiny!

Great coaches and class times for busy parents. Coaches focus on strength, safety, form and pushing the kids to be the best they can be. We have been members for over a year and love it some much we even have our birthday parties here. Cheer Destiny is a great, fun, family-oriented place and I couldnt ask for more.

My son has been a member of Cheer Destiny for a little over a year. In this time I have watched him gain confidence, lose weight, learn new skills and in general become more comfortable with himself. While he historically had a difficult time in large group settings due to his dual diagnosis of ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder, Cheer Destiny has provided a safe and friendly space for him to practice his social skills and make new friends while having fun. Hes grown so much, socially, mentally and physically. I would recommend their programs to any family looking to see their kids become the best versions of themselves possible. The care and enthusiasm that Coach John and his team bring to the table is authentic, and really the heart of the program! I could not be happier, or more satisfied with my experience.

I would like to say that Cheer destiny is a wonderful place. My 2 children have learned so much these past few months. I can truly see a difference in my childrens form. My younger son didnt even know how to do a cartwheel a few months ago and now is a pro at it. My older one can almost do the splits now and he wasnt even that close to being flexible at the beginning of this year. The coaches are wonderful, friendly, and work so well with the kids. They make it their goal to bring the best out in my children and I am truly thankful for that.And the owner, John, is absolutely wonderful. He is so positive and goal oriented and it truly shows. He makes all the kids feel like they can succeed and that working hard pays off.Thank you, everyone at Cheer Destiny for doing what you do. You are all outstanding!I definitely would recommend for anyone who has kids that want to get into tumbling and parkour. My two boys love it!!! I personally havent had my boys in the cheer portion, but from what i have witnessed when i bring my boys to the classes, i see and hear only good things!!!

Ive known Cheer Destinys owner John for over 6 years now. My daughter started with Cheer Destiny at the age of 10 and is currently 16 yrs old & on their All Star Senior Level 3 team! The coaches are such an inspirational and encouraging group. They truly put the kids first. They are all about personal development and personal growth. John, the owner, is not just a coach, he is also a role model to my teen. My daughters plan is to someday be as good of a coach to young children as they have been to her all these years!! They are truly her second family.

Coming into this program was the best decision I ever made. At first I was scared to come to this place with no cheer experience and thought that no one would take me serious, but I was wrong. All of the coaches are very nice and they really focus on what you need to improve yourself. The gym is so organized and everyone makes sure it stays that way. I’m truly happy that I found a place like this.

From the moment we walked in to Cheer Destiny everyone was very welcoming. We started coming to they gym with a cheer team and continued coming here for tumbling classes. My daughters confidence level throughout this past year has been over all life changing. Before attending Cheer Destiny she was very shy and always stuck to my side. Although she had been cheering at another program before, we feel that the coaches here gave her the confidence she needed to believe in her self. As well as, trust to tell her coaches if something is bothering her. My daughter has become a more sociable, confident, and outgoing person among her peers. She looks forward to coming here everyday. The support system from all the coaches in the gym has helped her in many ways. Now she is a part of Cheer Destiny Allstar Team WAVE. We look forward to many more seasons to come and for her to become the best cheerleader she can be with the help of every coach at CHEER DESTINY!!

I love it here! Cheer destiny has amazing programs with reasonable prices for all families. It stands in an amazing area... Nice and quiet environment. I have been able to see my potential here because of the hard working staff. The gym is well kept and I recommend it to anyone that is wanting to start cheer or already does cheerleading. Its my second home.

My Daughter has been going to Cheer Destiny since March of this year and I could not be happier with the facility, staff and other kids that go here! She has made some awesome new friends and really enjoys going! They offer many different classes, from Parkour to Breakdancing! She loves all her classes and has even taken some one on one classes to work on her back hand spring! I wish I could give them 10 stars because they really deserve it!

I seriously cannot be more thankful and grateful that my daughter has met these positive humans! She was starting to get to a already worried pediatrician for her unhealthily weight for her age and height in 2016 ... I had tried to have her play soccer and ballet to help keep her active but after a certain age ballet wasn’t her focus and soccer was, but it was where she loved the sport enough that she wanted to play but because of her extra weight she got tired easy. After one spring season, she chose to just watch the sport on tv or others play. I didn’t think... truly didn’t think that what I was feeding her was really making her this unhealthy.I figured her activity level at school 2 times a week for 30 mins was enough. It wasn’t until end of 2016 that I saw a picture of my child, I knew right hen and there I HAD to do something... a-lot of health issues run through my family and I wanted to avoid that for her as much as I could. I started changing her eating habits and since it was winter not much we could do. I waited until end of spring/beginning of summer 2017 I googled cheerleading teams, my kiddo mentioned to me how she wished she could do flipz like her cousins that were on allstar teams out of state. And she tried at home but always got discouraged because she couldnt even do a summersault ! My heart truly ached for my kiddo. I finally found CHEER DESTINY and when I called I got a very friendly knowledgeable person on the line... Ms Rozy, she answered every single question I had. Ensured me that no experience was needed for the beginners team and they would help teach her how to do stunts. I went in that weekend and met with Coach Jesus, he let my kiddo try out a flipz class with Coach Cat and after 45 she was DRENCHED in sweat, but HAPPY! I signed her up that same day she started the following week 2xs a week for 2 hours and 1 day a week flipz class for 45 mins. After a month into cheer my kiddo BEGGED me to take her out of the team she said “its hard, I will pay them to let me quit” I cant lie, I actually thought about pulling her out. Then I realized what type of example will I be showing her that it is okay to quit something you start, when it is NOT! She grew a sister friendship with girls on the team a VERY POSITIVE relationship with her Coaches... so I told her NO she will NOT quit, she would finish the season and if she decided next season no more, then she wouldnt have to sign up again. After we signed her up she and I both got some reality from Coach Cat! Lol she instilled junk food... no-more... juices sugar drinks... no more... after that my kiddo did a 360 on me with eating habits. I saw a change in her physically, mentally, emotionally, even verbally! I looked back at some pictures of her 2016 and 2017 and now 2018 and cannot BELIEVE the progress she has made and I cant put into any thing how thankful I am for this facility and for her coaches, Coach John, Coach Cat, Coach Jesus , Coach Tim , Ms Rozy... you all have helped me put her in the right path and now she is putting ME in the right healthy path! She even chose to sign up again this season for cheer! Thank you for EVERYTHING YOU DO FOR THESE CHILDREN! The POSITIVE VIBES when we walk into the gym... what I personally LOVE about the facility is that there is ALWAYS a NO BULLYING ZONE! Now a days it is hard to come by a place that has Zero tolerance for that. Another thing I LOVE is that coaches and Ms Rozy know the parents names and the childs names without having to look at papers and if you need ANYTHING they literally stop what they are doing to help you, you are not just another payment to them... they have become our family as well! And all the new friends she has made a bond that will surely stay a lifetime no matter where these girls go in life ️

My daughter, Sophie, has been attending Cheer Destiny for just about a year to improve her tumbling skills for cheerleading. She has been in other programs and honestly dreaded each class. However, her love of cheerleading and desire to keep her skills current kept her taking those classes that she hated. We tried out Cheer Destiny and she liked it! That like grew to love, pretty quickly. Number one, she felt welcomed. Each and every class. The coaches make it their priority to know each student. Number two, she felt welcomed by the students! The other students in her class werent cliquey or standoffish. They welcomed her and became her friend. Number three, John and staff makes each family feel like part of the team. My husband does the chauffeuring and I hadnt had the chance to meet John face to face until just yesterday. However, without even ever meeting him, I feel like a friend and valued customer through social media. He truly is a gem. My daughter is moving into high school and has been BEGGING to join Cheer Destinys All Star team. Not only has she been begging me, but other girls have approached me wanting her to join. It is a feel good place filled with not only excellent coaching, but with phenomenal character education, and FANTASTIC modeling of kindness and sportsmanship. We are honored to be part of such a great cheer family, and we hope to continue for many years.

Before signing up your child at this facility go to YouTube and watch the performance that was choreographed last year for cheer destiny its embarrassing to say the least. Definitely not worth wasting the 400 dollars a month that is outrageous for the low quality of coaching or I should say lack of coaching. The girls are wonderful that participate its not their fault the facility doesnt know what they are doing. The stunts are beyond below expectation of a competitive team as well as the tumbling skills and the choreography looks like a 3rd grader put it together. IF you want to see what a competitive cheer team should look like look up legendary cheer or even in the Recreational competitive teams look up The eagles in Lake in the Hills which is 1000 times more professional and cost 700 dollars for the whole year. Also cheer destiny is NOT air conditioned and gets up to 118 degrees in the gym, very unhealthy for kids and unrealistic. On top of the scam that is pulled with not getting permission to withdraw funds if you use your credit card. And the ignorant refusal to refund your money once youve noticed them emptying out your bank account without your permission. Im a professional USAG Junior Olympic Gymnastics Instructor and will share with you that if your child is enrolled in a program for longer then 12 weeks with a class or 5 private lessons and has not progressed in learning their back handspring then the Instructors arent doing their job, or dont know how to do their job. And from what Ive seen a lot of those children arent learning anything of a progression at this facility. And the quality of what is taught is a very very poor quality.

This place is a well rounded facility providing a spring floor, tumble track and mats for practicing. For us freerunners we enjoy the parkour equipment, solid walls, and obstacle mats for training, especially during the winter months when its cold out. The biggest plus for me is the 2-3 hour open gyms for only $5.
