I have come a couple of times with my niece who is in the hippo class and have to say this is an amazing facility. My niece always has so much fun and is learning so much from everyone at this location. The staff here takes such good care of the kids and shows them gymnastics in a safe and professional environment.

My granddaughters are learning so much and the coaches seem to connect with the students. Im not sure about the pricing or anything but they have a little of everything to learn on. Plus you can reserve the gym for birthday party events with an open gym time!

This place is an absolute joke. Wish I could give 0 stars.My daughter was in the Hippo class with Mikaela and she was a terrible coach. All she did was look around and not be present with the kids. Several times, toddlers would fall because of her lack of engagement. (They werent severely injured or anything like that but it could of been prevented had she kept involved.) The only time I noticed she gave them a structured class was when there was another coach helping her out for ONE class. I believe anyone working with toddlers should be energetic and like working with kids. Didnt seem the case for Mikaela.The front desk lady is also a joke. She is majorly lacking any sort of customer service skills. She was always rude and I believe suffers from superiority complex given her attitude.Bottom line, dont waste your money here. There are many awesome gymnastics school that have a strong work ethic and actually care about the customers that fund their paychecks by being courteous, understanding and all around good people.

NGTC is a complete nightmare! Do not subject your children to this environment. The owner of this gym is completely out of line and unstable emotionally. The team director is a complete wreck with an alcohol issue and creates an uncomfortable environment for young girls being trusted in his care. Think twice, You have been warned!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!My 4year old loves it!The staff are super friendly. The other kids there are very nice as well.We love the new location and being able to watch all the different levels.The coaches are great with the kids. Even when the kids have a tantrum or get emotional the coaches are always so supportive and caring.As for the “reviews” the ones mention “yelling”... I have never once heard these coaches yell with anger or negativity. The louder than conversation voices are used to account for background noise. The elevated voices are encouraging, happy, playful, fun.Over all I’m so happy that we are part of this gym.

Tina and all other coaches here are absolutely amazing! My daughter has been attending rec classes here for two years and Tina has coached her many times over these two years. She cares deeply about the safety and well being of all the children in this facility. Even with the new move of the gym they have made sure to have it impact the kids classes as little as possible. I wouldn’t pick another place for my daughter to attend gymnastics classes I fully trust them with my daughters well being.

The Gym facility is ok. But the policies and overall treatment of the parents leaves a lot to be desired. Most interactions with the front desk/management I am talked down to, and they seem to enjoy nickle and diming you. I have been over charged twice and had to call in to get an adjustment and overall they dont seem to care for the people paying for the gym membership. Not a wise business practice. In example, they attempted to charge me 5 cents for a disposable hair tie due to my child forgetting hers, on paper does that make sense? Yes. But as a parent who you are attempting to run a debit card for 5 cents it is insulting and also petty.EDIT: To see an example of what the patronizing looks like just read their response to my review. Start with the I am sorry you dont see the value part lol.

NGTC is like my second home! I absolutely love working here and each day is extremely rewarding. All the people here are really nice, Tina and Eric are so super caring, whenever I need help they are always there for me, their #1 priority is always the kids. I 100% recommend NGTC because it’s like a really big family and I’m very lucky to be a part of it!

We have been going to NGTC for almost two years now, first as a part of the recreation program and now my daughter is on a team. Since joining NGTC my daughter has become more confident and her skills have vastly improved. She loves coming to practice and seeing her teammates, while also learning along side them. We appreciate all the love, knowledge, humor, and patience that the crew of NGTC have displayed in teaching the children that attend the gym. Thank you all!

I cant say enough about this gym and coaches. My daughter has thrived so much in the environment they have provided for the last year. 3/4 of playing sports is mental toughness, the other are skills. It is easy to be a gym who just teaches skills vs one who makes a complete athlete.

NGTC has phenomenal owners, coaches and staff. The environment here is safe and welcoming to parents and gymnasts. It’s a wonderful feeling leaving the gym and looking forward to coming back for the next practice.If you have questions or concerns they answer them on spot and will get whatever it is resolved! My daughter loves coming to practice and loves that feeling of being a part of a team and family. I highly recommend NGTC!

It is a nice gym dont get me wrong but the coaches are more focused on the team than all kids in rec classes dis the same thing week after week.. the coaching staff is great for the teams but rec classes they are just high school students some with no experience at all my child has been there o wr a year with very little growth!

Review №19

This place is a complete JOKE! The owner’s wife has no respect for anyone who steps foot into her gym. She treats the kids horrible and talks down to many of them. The new office manager is rude and vindictive, I have witnessed them both of them gossip behind parents backs even as far as to other parents. There is a complete lack of training all around with the employee’s. The new gym is great, but they aren’t going to be able to keep kiddos coming back if they don’t do some HR training and work on their ethics. It’s a shame, hopefully they can figure it out before they have to close doors. I would not recommend this place to any parent please think twice before enrolling a child.

Great instruction and instructors. Charlie has been working with my 8 year old boy and has made gymnastics fun, engaging, and instructive, all the while building up his confidence and self-esteem.They also have generalized weekday/weekend activities, as well as party/event booking services.My family and I have had an awesome experience with NGTC.

Review №22

Great equipment! I was on the Xcel Team! I had EJ and Kelsey, but Kelsey quit due to college, and then we got Sarah. I quit this place though because I was stressed, and I had anxiety. The coaches at this place need to be more supportive, and believe in the gymnast. Some of the coaches were great at that! Some weren’t though. I would love if the coaches were more supportive and understanding. That’s one of the downsides of this gym, the other is that they charge you for QUITTING! We had to pay like $800 for me to quit because we gave them notice week after meet fees were due. I like this place but I would like it even more if the coaches were way more supportive, and to focus on the skills and not just conditioning, because when I went went I got moved down from Gold, we mainly did conditioning for practice, not all of practice, but most of it. I really wish I could’ve had a better time here. Thank you to my coaches! I do wish I had more fun here. Good for the people that had a wonderful time here! I’m sorry for the people who didn’t. Hope your time at the new gym is great!

Review №23

We had a terrible experience here.Impatience and a short temper do not mix well with young children and unfortunately, both those words describe Tina, the owner here. My child came to this gym with a big group. Tina had difficulty managing the children, was clearly overwhelmed and just angry with the kids and so rude to everyone, including a poor girl she had there helping who must attend gymnastics there.She yelled, actually yelled across the room, at one child for walking across a balance beam, using it exactly as it was intended. For some reason she didn’t want the kids using it, but they had been playing on it for about an hour beforehand?I don’t believe anyone given permission to care for someone’s children should ever shout at them. I would never entrust my child in this woman’s care and I absolutely cannot recommend this gym.

I’m not one to leave negative reviews but I was really frustrated here. My daughter was doing a drop in trial class and she was very excited so I had high hopes it would go well and we would register! However, when we walked in.. there was nobody at the desk... when someone finally noticed us he asked “is there something you need” no “hi! Welcome” friendly smile/ that you would normally receive at a center.. just very abrupt... I was kind of taken back by that. I guess I’ve been spoiled with good customer service ? Anyways, after my child completed Gymnastics trial .. she said she loved it and wanted to register .. great- cool coach.. so I thought I’d forgive the first impression and still register .. i waited at the desk for maybe 15 minutes ... nobody .. staff noticed me, made eye contact.. nothing. There was no follow up asking how my child liked it, I recieved no call to see if I wanted to register. Nothing. Just made me feel like I was just a number and I wasnt going to be valued. That’s unfortunate. I would like to add that this was MY experience, One day.. this place may have been way better on a different day- so try not to let the reviews keep you from trying a place. We all have different expectations! They may meet yours! They just didn’t meet mine. Best of luck.

This place has been amazing. All the coaches so far have been very polite and caring. My daughters current coach Charlie is incredible! He pushes her just the right amount and doesnt let them give up while boosting their confidence. Both owners have been amazing and helpful. Office staff is very inviting and always smiling. We will continue going here as long as gymnastics is my daughters passion!

Tina, Eric, and all team level 2 coachs and basically the entire staff at NGTC are superb. Words cannot describe how amazing this gym is. As a parent when I signed my daughter up for gymnastics I expect that the staff and coaches are going to provide a safe, firm, engaging experience and NGTC exceeds expectations. We have been let down by a few other gyms and can honestly say changing to NGTC was the best thing we could have done! Communication is key in any relationship and Tina is one of the best people to communicate with. You can honestly see that all coaches and staff genuinely care about the growth, success, and most importantly the safety of each of their students and team members! Thank you to all of you! Keep up the stellar work! Layla is loving every moment and has told me that she has learned so much.

Review №29

Be careful about their student waiver and release of liability which is actually an automatically renewing, price increasing, contract they will not let you out of...despite moving. Instructors (Charlie for my son was great) were mostly nice, but I witnessed certain coaches be grouchy to young children. Overall wasnt a great experience working with their team.

Review №32

The staff is great, my daughter is on the preK Rhino class where they learn a lot while playing.Each class is different but contains certain themes. The little kids get to try out the trampoline, climb on a rope, use the uneven bars and more. They are quizzed on their color, taught to respect each other and learn how to wait their turn.The current facility definitely looks old but they are moving to a new place by the end of the year. I cant wait to see the new parent viewing room.

This was the worst experience for my daughter and I. Dont waste your money they are very unorganized and very confusing on how they operate. Never once was the amount I signed up for that came out of my bank account correct some how I kept getting charged 35 dollars more then I was supposed every single month. This is an honest review, if you like throwing money down the toilet this is the place to go.

Love this place!!! Have a kid on a team for over 3 years and wouldnt go anywhere else. Dont let other reviews scare you off. This gym is straight forward about the fees and never charge your card without permission. If you have questions and want to talk with the owners or a coach its simple email and ask for a meeting. I have done so on several occasions and not had a problem. Treat them as how you want them to treat you it is called being an ADULT.

Review №36

If I could give it zero stars I would. This gym is awful!Rec side: On the recreational side, they have so many kids working out the coaches can’t, and don’t notice what’s happening in the class. A lot of times, the coaches are looking at their phones.Respect: The lady at the front desk (the owner Tina) goes on and on with lengthy conversations bad mouthing other customers/parents to anyone who will listen. Sometimes it’s about people that wrote the reviews. So rude and and so unprofessional. Honestly they get terrible reviews for a reason!!! They have a general lack of business etiquette and respect.Team side: Too many times I’ve seen coaches belittling the athletes. I’ve seen athletes crying on the sidelines because of how they were treated. I’ve heard cursing, threats, and a general disregard for respect. Look around that gym, no one is smiling! I get it. They are hard on their kids, they have a high level of expectations and are very competitive. But come on! I’ve seen them scream at 6-7 year olds just as bad as at the teens. These are kids for gods sake!The owners: Also the entire family runs the gym. The husband and wife are the owners, and the kids are all coaches. If you have an issue with the coach, don’t expect them to listen to you as you’re talking about their family. I’ve heard other parents talking to them and they simply don’t listen to reason. It’s their way or the highway.Parents: the other owner Eric is absolutely crazy. I’ve seen a parent try to discuss a gym issue with him and he totally went nuts. He repeatedly told the parent to “get out”, “just leave”, “get out of here” and told them he had called the police to remove a parent in the past. I heard that from another parent too- who was there for that drama. Yikes.Bottom line: don’t waste your money. Don’t shoot down your kids confidence. It’s not worth it for a stupid gold metal.

Review №39

We love this gym!!!! We have two children who attend NGTC and they absolutely love this gym. The dedication to to the kids is unbelievable. They are a well structured, safe and organized gym that finds a balance between structured learning, discipline and fun. Their staff is very well trained in gymnastics and first aid. Last April my daughter was one of the two major injuries this gym has sustained. She tripped over her foot and fell and broke her arm, resulting in surgery. They splinted her arm like A professional and applied ice and kept her comfortable till we arrived. The ER was impressed with the care they took and their splinting skills. After reading other reviews I can only say that I am dismayed at a few of the reviews left on here especially about the open gym being unsafe. Our kids have gone to every open gym for 2 years with no issue. As a nurse and a parent I would never leave my kids in an unsafe environment. ️️️️

Went this Saturday to check out the gym for my 6 year old. One coach with 7 girls, the coach looked lost and there were two kids crying. It was a complete mess. Left completely baffled, I would NEVER trust my kid at this gym. I don’t understand how this is still open.The coach couldn’t even find him laptop for about 10 min rummaging through his messy desk.

Review №41

I couldnt believe how poorly my 4-year-old was treated by her teacher there, and how poorly they communicated when I expressed my concerns and request to drop their class immediately. My 4-year-old was brought to tears in the class on more than one occasion. The teachers lack patience and inability to communicate with children was disturbing. Their drop policy is under the circumstances was unbelievable to me. On top of that, I found it absurd how a consistent teacher was non-existent. Im sad that my daughter has been scared out of gymnastics and I dont know when shell be willing to try again. I certainly do not recommend this place.

My daughters have been coming to NGTC for 3+ years. The staff is superb, they are always patient and accommodating and safety always comes first. The coaches truly love what they do and are very knowledgeable and know how to inspire their students to love it too. Dont worry if your child is shy these coaches really help them to open up.Love training here at the new location. The environment is comfortable, friendly and nonintimidating. This is a fun place for all ages. I love that I can come in and watch my daughter’s practice. We love this gym!!! Definitely a community worth being a part of.Thank you NGTC!Nichole Demagalski

Northwest gymnastics center is great. My children love it, its a great place for all age children and its affordable. My girls are 3, 5, and 10 and they are learning so much. They were happy to reschedule makeup appointments for all of my kids when they were unable to make it to class.

If I could I would put 0 ... You wont find my bad reviews anywhere, because I was always thinking either to live a good review or keep your opinion to yourself, not in this case... I really hope my review will help other parents to not waste time and loose money! long story short: as a mom of three, i know how important our kids to us and we dont want anyone to destroy their personality by yelling on them or ignoring! Just keep your kids and yourself as far as possible from Tina and this place, there are many more places with more professional coaches and owners who will answer all your questions, phone calls, emails and concerns...

They kicked me out of the gym. Tina and Eric were fighting to keep or dis me. I was unhappy how a coach treated me. The coach had me do handstands, cartwheels, round offs on the floor and was saying that I need more work on a hand stand. I was in the Xceal team before stopping because it was to much time consuming. So I was put in level 2. I had already learned how to do a back bend, kick over, and many more. I even told the coach that I knew how to do a cartwheel on a beam. But that coach still insisted. I thought it was stupid so I decided not to do it. So the coach went and got another coach. I was gonna walk out of there and sit on the steps. They didnt let me...Apparently I drew blood on one person. Which was not true. After a week off... We came back to the gym to figure out things. The owners of course(TIna and Eric Stinson) did not talk about it at all... Meaning they did not figure at what to do! They hadnt even decided if I could stay. I said I was sorry and then Tina said it was okay but Eric then said no. They left the room and we(me and my mom) could hear them fight. It took about ten minutes. They came back and said I was kicked out of the gym. But then Tina said no she isnt. Eric came back saying she drew blood on a coach and its not acceptable. They begin fighting again in the room in front of me and my mother. After arguing again. Eric said you are kicked out! Then Tina said Fine. Sugar, you have been kicked out. You are no longer allowed here. You cant come to Open Gym. You cant come at all. So my mom and I left. She said sorry and I said the fight was my fault.I do not recommend this gym because you could be kicked out. Like I was in Xcel team... There was a girl named Lilly and she stopped coming for a while... Our coach Eric Jr. told us that Lilly has been kicked out because of her MOMS(yes her moms) attitude. Later on, during a open gym when the owners were gone, Lilly got to come... Lilly told us that NGTC told her that she was terrible. (She could do many things!) NGTC told her that she didnt deserve Silver team for Xcel, she should be in no team. But then she told us(current Xcel team members) that a rival gym wanted her and she become part of their Xcel team and she was a gold level team. She didnt even need to try out. So NGTC KICKS OUT ATHLETES BY THE PARENTS ALTITUDE.So you might not want to since... Rumors had it... That theyve been sued many times. My friend Mia told me that theyve been sued for not letting someone compete on their team. My other friend Lacy told me that a lot of their coaches(Best coaches) have left the gym.Since I was there, theres only one coach that is still there. You can register on their site... It makes you PAY(Yes is said PAY)!Be warned that they are picky!

It all started with a Groupon pass and now my girls have both gained so much strength in their little bodies. I’m happy they both like it and are always looking forward to be in class. NGTC has always been helpful and friendly. There’s been times where we’ve had to schedule makeup classes and I’ve never had an issue with this. I like the diversity in the gym and I enjoy being there myself and having the random conversations with Tina while my daughters are training. Thank you NGTC for everything you do!

I would rate this place with more stars because the instructor was great with our daughter. The reason I gave it a two stars was because the receptionist was not perfessional . She had a conversation with someone else about another event other than the gym. I thought this was something that you do in break. My fiance also mentioned she had a rude tone with her once. We were not completely satisfied with this experience. We will no be returning.

Review №55

Two of my daughters are gymnasts at NGTC - one in JO who started in the rec program five years ago, the other in excel who started in rec two years ago. They both love being there. No, it isn’t “all fun and games.” In fact it can be hard work, but that’s what it takes whenever you want to be the best. The staff at NGTC must be doing something right - my daughter’s JO team won back-to-back state championships. That doesn’t just happen. It takes dedication, discipline, teamwork, and lots of practice. These are attributes taught at NGTC.I highly recommend NGTC if your daughter or son is interested in gymnastics. The staff and coaches will work with your child, regardless of age or skill level. I have never had a negative issue with any coach or the management, and I appreciate the open communication that we have. The very few times that an issue has arisen, it was taken care of quickly. These are good people and I trust them implicitly.

Review №56

There are no words to say how I feel about this place. My 9 year old daughter has been going there for 2 years and loves it! There is so many different programs and activities that my daughter would spend everyday there if I would let her. Gymnastics is an expensive sport and their concern is not about profit but about giving my daughter the chance to learn gymnastics and gain new skills. Their motto is that the gym is a family and it really is. I will never send my daughter to another gym and I would recommend this place to everyone. BOTTOM LINE IS YOU WOULD BE CRAZY NOT TO GIVE THIS GYM A CHANCE SO THEY CAN PROVE HOW AMAZING THEY ARE!!!

Review №58

I would rate them zero stars but thats not an option. Dont waste your money on these people. They dont care about your child, they only care about getting their money. They charged our card without authorization and when I tried to get the money back, I had to talk to them several times to get them to put the money back. They increased practice to 3 hours per session the week before a meet and gave horrible advice when our child had the skin torn off the palms of her hands which made it worse and then did a balloon on top of that, so the day of the meet, her palms were bleeding. When it comes to meet fees, they dont explain everything, they just charge late fees. Im sorry I wasted so much of our money on these people. Our child was in there for almost a year and when we decided to cancel due to the financial circumstances in our family, they treated us like animals. They threatened us with collections the second I mentioned to them about wanting to cancel. They werent interested in talking to us like human beings. The receptionist was really unprofessional when I was talking to her and handed the phone to her son without even saying anything to me. This is simply a family business to them and nothing more. If you want your child to do gymnastics, take them to a place that will care about gymnastics and not just money.

This place doesnt even deserve one star. By far the worse experience Ive had with any business. I got hung up on THREE different times by three different people. When I asked to speak to the manager, I was told to hold on and was hung up on. The guy called me a bluntly called me a LIAR! I am so glad I dodged a bullet and didnt take my kids here. I instantly cancelled my Groupon Deal. Please save yourself some time and DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT take your kids here. All of the staff were extremely rude.

Review №61

Well originally we loved this place. I loved the structure for my kids and the fact they they pushed them to do their best! Coach Charlie is amazing!! My son loves him and is very sad to leave him! Right now our schedules are just to busy for gymnastics and we haven’t been in about 2 months so I figured I would drop my kids atleast until the summer was over. Well that didn’t go over to well with the owners there. I thought we had had a close relationship, I had worked unpaid there a couple times with them, and we had shared many conversations. Some I didn’t approve of. If you don’t want your personal business shared with other parents at the gym be sure to not tell the staff there. They will gossip all customer complaints, and or issues with just about anybody. I know quite a bit about other families financial issues, and or other problems. I found it very unprofessional and unattractive for a owner to gossip about such private things. I’m sure my email with her today is being laughed at this very moment! I had called over a week ago trying to find out the drop policy and left a message. I knew it was a 30 day notice which I was ok with. I just didn’t know if it was office paperwork or something that could be emailed ect. I was fine with coming in to the office after finding out. What upset me was that she basically called me a liar about calling on the 1st. Saying she had no missed calls from me not messages. Until, I screen shotted her my call log and told her I didn’t appreciate the insinuation. Her reply in a mocking like email stated. Thanks for the screen shot. No apology or anything. Needless to say we will not be returning back to NGTC. For the family whose house burnt down and was mocked because they were unable to pay their bill, I am sorry for the bulling you were exposed to. Plus all the other stories. This is no way to run a business.

I was a gymnast and went here a while back, at first I liked it. And then saw how horrible some of my other members were being treated. Some team members asked to seak medical attention and they weren’t giving any. And pushed off as “your faking it” and punished for feeling sick! A girl on my team Sam, she was pretty much targeted. She never put herself or anyone in danger or said anything mean or horrible. Some times she wouldn’t hear the coach from across the gym and just get sent up to the team room and be punished. She’d cry, and the coach would go over to me and talk bad about her! And if she continued to cry she’d be sent home...this girl was in the 3rd grade. I mean come on! They also like to rip you off. I came in with music I wanted to dance to but couldn’t because my coach didn’t feel like cutting it! He wanted to use music he already made and charge my parents for it. Guys. Do not take your child here! They won’t even admit when they are wrong, they won’t apologize when they are wrong. Look at all these reviews-people saying it’s bad! And look at ngtcs comments. They blame everything on a child who probably didn’t do anything or on parents upset because the coaches like to gossip to anyone who will listen. They don’t motivate you, they break you. They make you feel bad when you mess up. They break your spirt. If you want a gym top flyte is better... and not too far away. Go their. Here they break you down. Take it from a former gymnast! Do not go here. You will regret it. It will be nice in the beginning and then you see their dark side. This is a family owned business and all they care about it money. Not your child. If you think they care about your child, look over the contract fully. Do you see how they charge you for everything? Even quitting! THEY CHARGE FOR QUITTING. I’m sure it’s bevause they get to many people quitting they think they’d make a profit. If your a parent promoting this gym it’s probably 3 things. 1.) your child doesn’t work with EJ or the team coach. 2.) your child doesn’t tell you 3.) your child’s a favorite.People! I will make this loud and clear. Don’t come here.Hope you see this EJ :) this is mostly about you

My daughter is really enjoying being a part of one of the several NGTC competition teams. She has been at this gym for almost 3 years. The coaching staff have been very professional in how they teach and instruct our gymnasts to be not only the best they can be competitively but also as individuals. I really appreciate this as a parent who cares about the environment my daughter spends quite a bit of her time in. My daughter is happy and excelling in a healthy environment that encourages respect and good work ethics in a very fun way. Go NGTC and thank you!

This place is a JOKE. Dont put your kids through NGTC. They have a history of bulling, putting down and humiliating these girls.There very tacky people who run this place.Lots of unanswerd questions about finances and fees. Money went missing???Tina the owner is a horrible business owner at best. Bad attitude.Lots of my girls friends have left..Dont do this to your kids!!!!!

As a member of the gym I am responding to the above. I was present for the entire confrontation and the truth of the matter is that the incident indeed was precipitated by Veronica Padilla who kept raising her voice and interrupting when her answers were trying to answered. She then preceded to leave the gym, leaving her car keys on the counter and returned with her apparent significant other. Upon his arrival he was using foul language and had such aggressive behavior in front of other families and children, that the police where called by myself and they were actually told not to return or the would be considered trespassing and would be arrested. Apparently, in her review she forgot to state that there was never any foul language or aggression shown by the staff, but rather by herself and significant other who were yelling and using foul language.

I was a student at NGTC for many years and loved it! Staff was (and is) hands on, dedicated, professional, and always created a positive learning environment for students! I was able to expand my knowledge and skill of gymnastics over the years I was at NGTC. I am now proud to call myself a rec. coach here, and couldnt be happier. NGTC truly is a family and Im so happy I got the opportunity to be a part of this gym, from student to staff!!

I love this gym! We started out in rec in Oct 2014, by May 2015 my daughter had the skills needed to join JO team. Since then she has done nothing but flourish! We love all the coaches and the staff. They are always helpful and its obvious they care. Its not uncommon to see both owners walking around helping out during rec classes and team practices. We would follow NGTC just about anywhere! Cant say enough good things about the changes in my daughter and the friendships she is building because of this gym!

0 starsAs a former gymnast I understand what a gymnast wants to feel like at a gym. They want to feel powerful and inspired to do anything. This gym does the complete opposite. They make you weak and awful. Send you back to where you first come in ( a room) and make you miss most of practice. They want you to waste as much money as possible. Day late to a fee? 50$ and if you quit you have to give every single piece of what YOU BOUGHT and give them to Ngtc, while having absolutely NO money back. Also an additional fee for, guess what. QUITTING! If I could give 0 starts I would. And boy coaches are touchy. Absolutely hate going to practice after a few months. They get you into this all happy and supporting you and let you invest all the money as possible then hit you with there actually personal side. Dont even say that thats how you improve. Going home everyday losing skills fast isnt making you better. They have favorites trust me. Youll see after you gave ever penny to them how evil they can get. And no wonder Rigert spilt apart from this horrible gym.This is my opinion and nothing will every change it. ️

This is a warning to anyone that is thinking of going to this place! I wanted to rate it at zero stars, but couldnt. They debited my credit card without authorization, and then wouldnt refund the money! I was told they could only credit me for the next month (which is illegal without my consent), and was the beginning of the end for me. The trainer would never take my phone calls, or talk to me in person, but instead wanted to ONLY communicate through email. I asked to talk with her when she was in the office, and was told we would need to email her....which was obsurd and extremely unprofessional..she was right there?!?!I made the decision to give the required 30 day notice, due to very poor communication from the owners and trainer. It was done in a very polite manner, and got a disturbing reaction! Eric (owner) told me that we were done at that very moment, and that my daughter could only attend rec for the remainder of the month (which is nowhere in the contract). He immediately pulled my daughter out of the class, and told her to get her stuff, and that I was out front waiting for her!! My daughter realized that she had left something in the back, and went back in to get it. When she returned, she was traumatized and crying!We found out that Eric (owner) had the audacity to tell my child that he didnt like her mom!!!! He actually repeated those words right in front of my fiance. Who in their right mind says something like that to a child...especially an adult!!!! My little girl had absolutely nothing to do with what was transpiring. All I wanted was to discuss gear that may be needed for upcoming events. Instead, my daughter gets kicked out after I politely gave the required notice.The statement made below in regards to police, has been taken completely out of context (for damage control). The owner didnt at any point try to rectify the situation, but instead ignored us. He felt it was okay to tell a little girl he didnt like her mom, without repercussions. Our child was in tears, and he didnt care to correct the large mistake he had made. Of course we got upset (which is fully justified), and wanted talk to him civilly about it, but he wouldnt talk at all. He only acknowledged what he said to her, after we had gone outside, and they had called the police. Thats how these people resolve issues, by not acknowledging anything happened?!?! The police officer (no back up)..lol, was very nice. I spoke to her for a while, to give her the big picture as to what was going on.Remember, this is a place that works with KIDS all day long, and thats a scary thought. Please read the other reviews about this place, and youll see a pattern. Our children deserve to be in an environment thats encouraging, and we found that at another gym!

My daughter has been taking gymnastics at NGTC for the last 2.5 years now. She started out with the owner as her instructor for a rec class for smaller kids and she convinced her to try out for team when she 5.5 yrs old. I was a bit reserved at first, as my little one was a bit shy and timid and still acquiring her self confidence.Coach Tina was very encouraging and used humor to get her comfortable with the thought of participating on a team sport. My daughter is still taking gymnastics at this gym and has really gained a lot of self motivation, ability to focus and set goals, teamwork and most importantly self determination. She has developed habits that has helped her self confidence and to understand what it takes to achieve goals and to just go for it! My daughter is 7 years old now and has really come out of her shell and come a long way.I believe NGTC has really done a great job helping instill these charateristics within her and these are definitely, as NGTC motto is habits that will last a lifetime.Thanks NGTC.

Not happy with the gym NGTC. They are not flexible with the make up classes,they dont answer emails or return calls when trying to set up make up classes.Very very unhappy with services.The owner Tina is very unprofessional1.she yells at children2.she is all the time in a bad mood3.she has absolutely no patience!!!!4.she hang up the phone when you are trying to explain something5.the coaches very unprofessionalHorrible Friday night parent out! The gym has very bad smell .Its just like an open gym without supervision. Not safe at all.I am not very happy with how the team operates. There is always some sort of miscommunication going on, coaches are their sometimes, skill level has not really increased, the team doesnt seem to be given 100% effort from the gym or coaching staff.I know many people have gotten hurt, Im warning everyone to stay away from this gym NGTC and the owner Tina Stinson. I was warned by others not to come here but didnt listen because I wanted to give this place a try! Never come back, we were there for almost a year.

I have been taking my daughter to this gym for a little over a year now. We did try another gym before due to it being closer to our home, but that gym didnt work for us.Northwest Gymnastics Training Center in Gresham has over exceeded all expectations! My daughter has grown not only as an athlete but as a person too. She has learned how to do skills safely with popper form and technique from the beginning (she started when she was four and is now five) But what I love most is that she also has developed some discipline, listening skills, and over all life skills.Northwest Gymnastics Training Center offers such a wide variety of classes based off age and skill. From what I can see they have an amazing team program and I feel like that is because they focus on the foundation being the toddler, pre-k, and rec programs equally.There were a few negative reviews I read that were completely inaccurate I wanted to address.The first one being a lack of communication. This gym is excellent at communicating. They Email updates to you on what is going on at the gym, and they are super quick to respond back to you if you email. I have never waited more than 24 hours for a response via email. They use flyers, and there are always people able to talk to you during business hours in person or via phone. Coaches are always willing to speak with you about your child progress as well.The next concern that was brought up was this gyms Cleanliness. The person who wrote that review must of went into the wrong gym. The gym is housed in an older looking warehouse but the equipment is all current and well maintained. My daughter does private lessons during a time where there isnt regular classes happening and I always see one of the owners (Tina) vacuuming, scrubbing, emptying trashes, or directing her son EJ (who also coaches rec classes) to help clean as well. There is so much that goes into to keeping a busy facility like this gym running smoothly the staff especially Tina is always busy making sure what needs to be done is done.Lastly which I found to be the most ridiculous negative review of them all is that the owners do not care about this gym and they just want to make money this is FALSE. First off their prices are incredibly competitive for a profession registered gym. In some ways they are actually less than other gyms in the surrounding areas. Secondly both Erik and Tina have a huge passion for their business have a conversation with either one of them just about their facility and you will see them proudly beam about what makes their Gym awesome and how amazing their athletes, coaches, and parents are!!!If that isnt enough to prove that they do care about more than money then how about all the different reward programs they offer for loyal patrons. The one I love the most because it teaches the athletes responsibility is the water bottle sign off page. Each time your child attends a class if they remember to bring their water bottle (it doesnt have to be filled they can do that at one of the two water fill stations that are provided for them) They can have their coach sign off at the end of practice on their sheet. If they fill the sheet then they get to go to an open gym night which is AWESOME for free!!!The other reward program they offer is called flok. Its a phone app that automatically tracks when you are at the gym. Once you have been at the gym 10 times you qualify for 10 percent off their pro shop, then there is two more levels you can achieve qualifying you for more great rewards and deals. They do not have to offer these programs but they do because they care.All in all this gym is an amazing gym. Anyone who says something other did not give this gym a fair chance. I will be honest when I first started taking my daughter to this gym I wasnt 100 percent sure about it because of my previous bad experience at the other gym, but I gave this gym three months and thats all it took for me to fall in love with all the good it does for my daughter!!!

These people couldnt care less about the well-being of the kids. Theyre just determined to collect as much money as they can from the families, which is why they make it as hard as possible to cancel. Dont go anywhere near this place.
