Beautiful facility, impressive athletes, very nice families. The owner recruited one of the best CheerAbilities coaches in the country to start a team at CEA Raleigh. CheerAbilities is for athletes with various types of disabilities. Some have Autism, Down Syndrome, and others have physical disabilities where they need help moving like with a wheelchair. Our team, Dream Team, had a great first year bonding as a team, with the gym, their coach, and junior coaches. They performed publicly twice with no assistants on the floor. They practiced and stayed connected through the COVID19 stay at home order. Our girls all are immunocompromised in different ways and varying degrees. Once the gym reopened our team was ready and committed to work harder and longer than the year before. They happily got into the gym for a 90 minute practice and came out tired and happy everytime. They even challenge each other to workout outside of the gym. Now the OWNER has some disagreement with our CheerAbilities coach and couldnt figure out how to resolve it, so now our entire team is looking for a new gym. The owner talked to us the first and last day. Not much if at all in between. I thought she was respecting our dynamic and team culture, little did I know she wasnt REALLY committed to us. She saw an opportunity to boot us out and she did. Good luck CEA Raleigh.

My daughter came to CEA three years ago after being a competitive dancer for 6 years. Moving from dance to cheer was the BEST decision we ever made. I have watched my daughter grow in confidence in ways I cannot even begin to explain. The coaches have encouraged her, challenged her, and pushed her to become the best athlete she can be. Each one has helped her set goals and continually reach them. We have been on a level 2, 4 and now a junior level 5 R team. Each team has been given every opportunity to thrive within their season, including winning Summit last year. She has made some wonderful friends these past few years, as have I. If you are looking for a place where your child can become part of a family, look no further than Cheer Extreme Raleigh.

The owner kicked the Exceptional Athletes (Special Needs) Team out of the gym because she deemed them as ‘lesser than’ and didn’t want to pay the coaches the same nor keep them in the gym longer than an hour, but still charge the families full tuition. Disrespectful to those kids who don’t understand why they can’t cheer anymore.

This is the 4th year our 2 daughters are cheering with CEA. We have been at other gyms, but now that we are with CEA, we would never go anywhere else. No gym is perfect, and all parents and kids grumble at times, but what is amazing about CEA Raleigh is that the owners and coaches always strive to get the best from themselves and the athletes. They are constantly open to feedback from parents and athletes, seek to truly understand all concerns of any size or topic, and actually ADJUST - when appropriate - to keep making the program better. Every athlete and team is important at the gym - be they prep kids or world champs - and coaches use a wealth of different approaches to connect and bring the most out of each athlete. Kids are taught that teams are built with varieties of skills and strengths, that everyone has value. Expectations ARE HIGH from coaches, but no higher than from the athletes on the teams. Everyone is held to the same rules and standards. I think folks need to understand that when they come to CEA. If you embrace the pursuit of excellence, you will be thrilled with the experience!

This is our 5th season at CEA Raleigh. My daughter has grown leaps and bounds from this program not only as an athlete but as a person. When she started she was quiet, shy and afraid to get involved in a group. Through CEA not only has she become an amazing all around base on the ground but it seems that she has found her voice. This program is about so much more than just cheer. It is about confidence building, growth, courage and pushing yourself to be your very best at everything that you do each and every day. Cheer may be a luxury sport but the skills gained at CEA certainly extend far beyond just the mats.

Our daughter began at Cheer Extreme in 2017 by taking tumbling classes. She improved so quickly under Willies coaching that she quickly wanted to join a cheer team. At age 12 she was a little older than most beginning cheerleaders. I was very thankful for the half year program that Cheer Extreme offers. It was great to get a taste of competitive cheer without committing to the full year scenario. With local competitions and only one practice per week she was able to learn all she needed to know about competitive cheer to see if it was the sport for her. We quickly realized that through the supportive environment at Cheer Extreme she not only loved what she was doing but developed quickly into quite an athlete! At the end of her half year season she begged to join a full year team for this season. We are more than happy with our decision to proceed with this gym. Coaches are very knowledgeable & athletes are well prepared for every competition. Coaches provide instruction in a positive coaching manner that encourages athletes to grow. Kelly and her staff also provide outstanding opportunities to connect high school athletes with colleges that offer scholarships for cheer. It is quite a distance from our home with traffic but well worth the drive. We wouldnt go anywhere else.

We absolutely love Cheer Extreme Raleigh. My daughter transitioned to the gym in May of 2018. She has developed new skills within a few short months due to the knowledge and expertise of the coaches. Although the gym is large, it feels small because everyone is warm and welcoming. There are plenty of opportunities for the athletes to bond outside of practice and parents really get to know one another through the help of our excellent team moms. I cannot say enough about the owner, Kelly. She is so organized and really cares about all of the athletes and their families. Cheer Extreme was the best decision we could have made for our daughter. It really is a five star gym that’s training champions and making memories that will last a life time.

This is my daughter Katelyn’s 3rd season at Cheer Extreme Raleigh. To say she has lived a fairytale cheer life in the last 2 1/2 years would be accurate! We are so humbled and grateful for the opportunities that have come her way since being here. She has been pushed beyond what she even thought possible. The coaches are the BEST at knowing what is right for your child! This is hard as a parent sometimes to turn over control and trust the process, but worth it! Thank you Cheer Extreme Raleigh for loving, supporting, motivating and believing! Friendships, memories and unbreakable bonds with coaches and teammates....beyond the titles, backpacks and jackets this is what Katelyn will remember most. ️

This is our third year at Cheer Extreme Raleigh. My daughters have grown so much in many aspects of the sport. They’re always inspired to go to practice and train with their fellow peers and coaches. They have created friendships in the gym that I’m sure will carry on in the years to come. The coaches are amazing on so many different levels and as a parent I’m appreciative of how they motivate my daughters to be their best and instill confidence. This truly has become a second family to us and we are happy to share this journey with them. ️

My family came to this gym a few years back and it has been the best thing we have ever done. Our daughter is not the most athletic child but she was made to feel welcome day 1 and has excelled beyond anything we could of imagined . She now competes on a Worlds team, something we never thought possible until we came to Cheer Extreme. The guidance and love was everything she needed to reach her goals. I highly recommend this gym to all walks of all star cheer athletes . This is definitely the place to grow and become family

My best friends daughter cheers here and I have a 6 yr old daughter who tumbles here with one of the coaches and she LOVES IT. She doesn’t cheer but I will definitely be signing her up to cheer here next year. Coaches , parents , and kids are so welcoming . Only been going to the gym for about 3 months and I can say that I am very pleased by everything with the gym. Not 1 disappointment

This is our third season at Cheer Extreme Raleigh, I have three girls that are in love with cheer but mostly in love with this program and every single one of their coaches, they all bring something different to the plate. My girls feel safe, loved and very important. The coaches always make sure that every kid knows that no matter what your position is in the team you are all equally important because they couldn’t be a team without one athletes part. I always wanted my kids to learn what team ethics was and we have found that and more, we are a big family and I know my girls have all the peers they need for cheer and in their personal life. Couldn’t ask for more!! I highly recommended!!

My daughter has excelled by leaps and bounds since moving to Cheer Extreme Raleigh 3 years ago. The coaches and owner have a passion for coaching and the expertise to make your athlete shine. There is a reason why so many parents through out North Carolina and even out-of-state are willing to drive their athlete there. Cheer Extreme Raleigh is literally a world-renowned gym. Your athlete will never out grow this gym nor is it too advanced for them to start at. They shape and mold all of their athletes to be the best they can be. Most importantly, my daughter loves her coaches and friends she has made there.

Review №14

My daughter started at Cheer Extreme a few years ago with the recreational tumble classes. She had taken tumble at several gymnastics gyms in the Raleigh area but she was never challenged enough. Coach Willie and Gabe gave her the confidence to move beyond back bends and cartwheels and didnt hold her back when she wanted to learn more. We loved that they let her progress at her own pace rather than by what year she was in. She is currently in her first year of year round cheer and loves every minute of it. The coaches are amazing at what they do and we feel that this is the best place for her to pursue her passion.

My daughter joined this gym just a few months ago after trying one of their cheer camps. She had danced for five years and decided that she wanted to try something different. The coaches and staff are so knowledgeable and were able to help us get her into a tumbling class perfect for her as well as suggesting the half year team. When she started she didn’t know how to tumble but after a few months at Cheer Extreme she has gained so many skills. She has made so many friends from cheering and has grown into a more confident young lady. I’m so thankful that we joined Cheer Extreme Raleigh.

This is our first year at CEA Raleigh, and I just don’t have enough time to list all of the things we love about it! My daughter’s confidence has vastly improved in this very positive and uplifting environment. The coaches are amazing. They are professional, and incredibly knowledgeable, and at the same time truly care about the kids. Don’t listen to any negative you hear about this place. The haters are simply jealous of this amazingly successful program. The athletes are held to a high standard here, and Kelly and the rest of the staff are equipped to help them rise to the occasion. We truly should have come here years ago.

My family moved here late summer 2018 because my husband has been relocated for his job. My daughter has cheered for 10 years and a small gym in Michigan. The first day of practice she was welcomed with open arms, team mates had been waiting for her arrival. All I can say is that this experience has really solidified her love for cheer. Cheer extreme is very different from where we can from. The parents care about ALL the athletes on the team doing well. The team moms are attentive, giving and make the athletes and parents feel appreciated. The coaches are positive and wants the athletes to do well and also cheer on every milestone. My daughter is a first year cheer extremer and has made a level 5 team. She has more confidence and has made friends from all teams. If you are looking for a cheer home this is the place to be.

This is our family’s first year at CEA and we’ve been impressed by this first class gym since day one. Coaches are super knowledgeable and there is always a class or offering to bring out the best in your athlete. My daughter has grown leaps and bounds as a flyer and tumbler, and I couldn’t be happier!

Review №19

My daughter used to cheer at a gym 5 minutes from our house. Wanting more opportunity to grow, she begged us to switch to Cheer Extreme. Switching for us meant giving up that 5 minute commute to the gym. Switching for our daughter meant higher level tumbling and stunting and the opportunity to reach her goals. My husband and I saw our daughter craving the environment of Cheer Extreme and gave in and let her switch. Now in our 3rd season at Cheer Extreme, I can say without a doubt that making the switch was by far the BEST decision!! Our daughter has grown exponentially under the coaching of Cheer Extreme and we love being part of the teal family! I would highly recommend Cheer Extreme to anyone interested in cheer, tumbling etc. There is something for every level and I’m confident kids will grow and thrive at Cheer Extreme!

After six years at another cheer gym, we switched to Cheer Extreme Raleigh. It was a great decision! In two years, my daughter’s tumbling has improved tremendously in technique and skill level, and the coaches helped her find her confidence. She went to the Summit for the first time last year and had a great experience! No matter where she competes, her teams are always competitive! I only wish we had switched gyms earlier!

For anyone looking for a great cheer gym, look no further! My daughter has cheered for 10 years, but this is our first year at Cheer Extreme Raleigh. Im not from the area so I had no idea what to expect. I can honestly say that she couldnt be happier! The staff is passionate and supportive and the owner not only cares about her athletes cheer leading careers, but encourages community involvement and offers opportunities for college and beyond. The joy and excitement she gets from Cheer Extreme is priceless.

Anybody who gives this gym a low rating has never seen how it operates. It’s a well oiled machine. They know what they are doing and they mold champions. I am in awe and honestly overwhelmed at the amount of talent that comes from this gym. We moved mid season in 2018. It’s been a great experience to have our daughter there for this year. As a parent, you have to understand it’s their job to put the best of the best out there. They’ve got it going on.

Cheer Extreme Raleigh has to be the largest small gym Ive ever encountered. Meaning that even though they have hundreds of athletes, you still get the feeling of a small gym environment. Kelly takes the time to get to know and form a relationship with every athlete and their family so that they feel completely comfortable and are able to reach their fullest potential. The coaches are great, the parents are great, hands down the best gym experience we have ever had. I wouldnt trust my daughter to anyone else.

Cheer Extreme Raleigh is well established and known for developing award winning teams as well as athletes. Kelly Smith Helton has a passion, drive, and vision for putting stunning routines on the mat, year after year. She is a key opinion leader within the competitive cheer industry and keeps well-certified, engaged coaches that motivate and encourage the student-athletes to be the best version of themselves inside and outside of the gym. Cheer Extreme Raleigh is the best of the best!

My daughter is in her 3rd season at Cheer Extreme Raleigh after transferring from a small gym of 5 years. Prior to transitioning, we were apprehensive of it being a larger gym and her potentially getting lost in the shuffle, and boy were we wrong! It was amazing the immediate effort the coaches and staff put into learning my daughter’s name as well as investing in her strengths, needs, and interests. In addition, my daughter has gained valuable interpersonal skills while being taught how to collaborate, communicate effectively, and adapt to any situation to reach goals. Thank you, Cheer Extreme!

My daughter and our family love CEA. They are so organized, dedicated to their athletes and honest. I fully trust the staff and feel like my child is 100% supported in and out of the gym. She has made friendships life lasting and the coaches are outstanding. She is ALWAYS treated respectfully, kindly and has been supported emotionally and physically in her “off days”. We are forever TEAL!

This is our first year at this gym after being at our previous gym for 6 years. I was beyond impressed at the communication with Kelly right from the beginning. She answered my email at 1:00 in the morning and the communication continues to be top notch. The coaches are AMAZING! They put every athlete in a position to be successful. I have seen my daughter go from being shy and doubting her abilities to a strong and confident athlete. Cannot wait to see where our journey takes us and there is no doubt in my mind that we made the right decision.

My daughter came to CEA mid season. Coming from a smaller gym I had many fears. Somehow they are able to manage over 400 athletes and not once have we felt like my daughter was just a number. My daughter has been welcomed and treated as if she’s always been a member of her team. Very positive atmosphere and highly organized gym.

Review №37

My daughter started Cheer Extreme in May of 2018 after being in gymnastics for years. My daughter was very intimidated by being one of the younger girls at tryouts and seeing so many girls of higher skills. Kelly went up to her, introduced herself and erased all those fears. From that point on, my daughter has been in LOVE with cheer! She went from years of gymnastics practice with a back-walk-over, from learning a back handspring in just 2 months! She is now currently working on back-tucks and has only been at Cheer Extreme for 9 months! The coaches there are amazing and push the kids to their highest potential. Even though Cheer Extreme is a large gym, the coaches of all levels are very knowledgeable about cheerleading and push their athletes to be their best. I highly recommend Cheer Extreme to anyone who is interested in cheering or tumbling.

We moved here from Orlando with no idea where to cheer. My best friend said it had to be Cheer Extreme as they develop amazing athletes. She was right. We are only into our first season, but our daughter has learned so much in her short time. She went from a level 1 team to level 4 and she continues to be challenged daily. If your child is ready to be part of a team, learn how to be competitive and learn sportsmanship then this gym is for you! I only trust reviews from parents who have athletes who attend or who have attended which is why I wanted to share my experience.

They make sure that your child not gets the skill but that it’s executed right so they don’t get hurt. They work hard. They play hard and they have the skill and they expertise to create talented winning teams! I’m sad that this is my oldest daughters last year.

Our daughter is now in her 7th season at CEA. She has grown from a 7-yo flyer who could only do a cartwheel to a 14-yo all-around athlete and leader who has performed every position on the team. We have found that what she gets out of this experience is what she puts into it. As she continues to express her enthusiasm to learn new skills, her coaches are receptive and encouraging. Having a good attitude coming into the gym really helps! While focusing on technical expertise within the routine, coaches always have the continuous growth of the athletes in mind. Coaches give our daughter goals, and she strives to meet them, but they are also quick to refocus her when she gets off track. They dont let her go down a wrong path for too long before giving her a quick word that points her back to excellence. The gym not only strives for excellence in their routines, but also in the student athlete experience. Gym ownership encourages good grades, too, which means a lot to this education-minded mama!!

You hear the whole gym clap just as hard for a childs first back walkover as you do for a first full. It really is a family!

Im a 100% disable Vet everytime I come to the gym theres a vehicle park in the handicap parking space without a handicap tag or window decal, I informed the front desk but this problem continues to exist. This is very disrespectful to someone who served our country. I think the only solution is to notify the law the next incident.

This Is our 4th year at Cheer Extreme and the confidence and relationships she and I have made are incredible. When my daughter was just 4 and hardly talk to a soul! She fell in love with the sport the minute we walked in for her tiny turtle tryout. Now she just turned 8 and is on a j3 team and loves everything about her team and coaches. The best thing I ever did for my shy little girl was put her at Cheer Extreme Raleigh. I cant wait to see what this year brings her. We love everything about Cheer Extreme.

This is our first year at Cheer Extreme and it has been an amazing experience. I cannot believe how much progress my 10 year old daughter has made since we started last May. She has grown tremendously under the leadership of the coaches and staff. My daughter has more confidence now than she has ever had. What I really love is that the gym teaches the kids to set goals and to go after their dreams. It’s not just about cheerleading, CEA Raleigh teaches these kids about life. They learn how to work hard and win and also how to fall down and get right back up. We have met so many wonderful people here and I would recommend this gym to anyone. Kelly Helton is the best in the business. She spends countless hours doing everything she can to make it a beautiful experience for every athlete and family. The communication is hands down the best. We love it here and can’t ever imagine going anywhere else. So thankful for this experience.

Our family has been at CEA for about 8 years now... both of our daughters did rec tumble, and our youngest has been cheering for about 6 years. We consider the gym a second home, and the coaches, athletes, and parents our extended family. Our girls have learned tough life lessons and what it is to be part of something bigger than yourself. Our youngest is learning leadership skills through the gyms intern program, and we have the opportunity to participate in community service. Can not recommend this gym enough....so happy to be part of the CEA family!!

My daughter has been cheering for 6 years- the last 3 at CEA-Raleigh. Truly a world-class level of training and unparalleled attention to my child. The staff sets high expectations for each athlete as well as themselves. The ownership and coaches are the best in the industry, and despite the ever-growing number of athletes, they continue to “know” each individual and make every effort to focus on building character, athleticism, and leadership. My family has felt valued and respected at all times. The spirit at CEA is also great: athletes and parents love cheering for each other!

Cheer Extreme builds world class athletes! My daughter is in her 3rd season with CEA. Having started competitive cheer at age 5, her dream was always to go to worlds. Her second season at CEA, she was able to make it there, and her team placed 9th in their division! Already this year by early December, her team, the new “Code Black”, already had their bid to Worlds 2019. Cheer Extreme is amazing. Truly the best of the best!!!

We were fortunate to switch to CEA after we started our season with another gym. Every coach, staff member and Kelli made our transition much easier than we expected. This gym is not just building Allstar Cheerleaders, they are instilling respect, trust, confidence and character in each athlete here. If you are looking for a gym I strongly suggest you explore CEA. Don’t be overwhelmed, remember everyone is at different stages of development. Although we moved onto volleyball-I miss my fellow cheer moms quite often.

This is my daughter’s first year cheering at CEA Raleigh, and we couldn’t be more pleased. The coaches are tough, but fair and strive to get the best out of each individual athlete, while creating a cohesive team. Can’t wait to continue my daughter’s cheerleading journey with CEA Raleigh!

We tried another gym when we moved here in 2016. My daughter learned some things but they were toxic in their attitudes and relationships, we were so discontented that we took a year off. My daughter said how much she missed cheer but knew that CEA was the only way to go. Their reputation preceded them! She is so happy at CEA Raleigh, the coaches are super—all of them and the owner /operator knows how to run a business so well , she is spectacular...specializing in families as customers is no easy task and she rises and does it well all the time ! ️
