Both of our kids attend IFTC and we couldnt be more pleased. They care about the success of our kids and work hard to ensure they are in the correct classes to meet their needs and skill levels!
The business does not follow proper protocols for Covid safety. Even though masks are mandated in Bonneville county, and Covid cases & deaths are rising they choose not to protect people by asking their patrons and teachers to wear face coverings. This is highly irresponsible behavior in a worldwide pandemic and is evidence that they do not care about people in this community.
The one time i took my kid to a class i noticed her whole class just standing there because there was so many other classes going on at the same time. Not only that but the place was dingy and gross and my daughter came home with pink eye. Its overall a very unorganized and dirty place and i wouldnt recommend sending your kids there. The owner also lets a dog roam the gym. not safe for the dog or the kids.
Great place, awesome trainers and very affordable campared to other gyms in this area

This gym has been awesome from the start. My daughter quickly moved to the right level and received the right attention when we switched to IF Training Center. The owner has been amazing and they are well organized. She is so kind and generous and everyone there has been great! We love this gym and have been so happy with our switch!
Owner has a really abrasives personality and doesnt seem to want my business. We signed our 3 year old up for the flippers class, the first class we went to he was over whelmed, but joined in by the end and coach mackenzie was great. The next time we went on a different day, different coach, the coach of the class wasnt showing the kids what to do he was only saying the names of different moves and wanting the kids to do them. My child along with the three other children in the class were confused as to what to do. When I brought this to the owners attention, and suggested that maybe the coach should show the kids what to do she acted like my kid must just be dumb for not knowing what to do. Hes not dumb, hes a 3 year old trying gymnastics for the first time. So we decided to move down to the mom and tots class. By that time our son had had two negative experiences with the warm up portion and was uncomfortable doing anything but running. But after warm ups the coach was better when he could work one on one with our son once the group moved beyond the warm ups. Then he was patient and personable and our son eventually tried some of the exercises and then joined the group, fully participating. We are going to continue with the mom and tots class and see if he can gain confidence with parent helping along side. So were going to give it another chance and see if our experience improves.
Although our beginning wasnt perfect (the GTC and ourselves) we continued to work together and are glad that we did. My three year old had a hard time being overwhelmed in the beginning but we have worked through it and now he is four and loves every part of it. Coach Kegan works wonderfully with these littles, very patient while helping them learn new things. And the kids think he is hysterical. We will be moving soon and will hopfully find a place as good in our new town.
3 of my kids have attended IFTC for 3 months.Prior to this we attended the only other full apparatus gym in IF for 3 years. I did not have issues with the other gym but when I switched the comparison between the two places was drastic.They guarantee at least 4 lessons each month so if your lesson lands on a holiday they will offer a makeup class. When we went out of town during their lessons they let us to a makeup. When my daughter sprained her foot and missed 3 classes, they reimbursed us for those lessons with doctors note.There is no waiting time for one class to check out and the next class to begin. When the hour for class begins my kids are immediately on the floor warming up with coaches and they are working until the exact minute class ends. This is because they have a system in place that makes class transitions very efficient.I could go on and on with reasons why I like this place. Let me just end with - the other gym was 6 minutes from my house and IFTC is 17 minutes to drive to. It is absolutely worth the drive for the better experience our whole family is having.
My kids love Idaho Falls Training Center! My 5 year old son gets so excited every time we go to class. His coach has helped him so much with following directions, increasing his focus & increasing his upper body strength.My 2 year old thrives in the mommy & toddler class. We love going together. Its so fun to see her learn & that she understands so much even though she can hardly speak. Her coach is so patient, fun & accomodating to my daughters needs.Tena, the owner, has such a passion for helping these kids improve their lives. She is so hands on & makes us feel so welcome there.I cant say enough great things about this gym. Thank you Idaho Falls Training Center!
I felt so embarrassed for my daughter because she planned a birthday party here and she had reconnected with some friends and their children and invited them to the party. After numerous calls trying to get in touch with them they finally called and scheduled the party for her son. The day and time of the party the place as locked up tight and no one was there. We waited for a half hour and the pizza delivery guys ordered by if gymnastic training center finally showed up with the pizzas. No one was answering any phones and the pizza guys had a number we could call. When the lady answered she told my daughter oh I’m sorry I forgot about the party. I surely wouldn’t recommend this place for a party to anyone and I felt so sorry for my daughter.
This gym is just a glorified babysitter. You arent allowed to use any of the equipment/padding because they dont want it to get worn out. Is that not what its for though? To use, and why do people pay money to enter the center then. Every other gymnastic place Ive been too had been way cheaper and they actually let you use the center for its purpose and all the padding and equipment in it. hence the reason its a gymnastics center. I get it if they want to keep a couple pads nice for classes but all of them? The only other thing to do at that point is run around and if I wanted to do that Id go outside for free.. So youre not allowed to use any of the equipment or padding, you cant use the crash mats placed already at the end of the running trampoline. You can only bounce on the running trampoline, and the only equipment you are allowed to use is a foam football you can rent out...what is the point of the gym. It should be free entrance if you arent allowed to use any equipment for there intended use at that point. Horrible experience and Ill say again, just a glorified babysitter. And honestly they didnt even do the babysitting job well, because there was no coaches on the floor, and one staff in the whole building with little kids packed all over the place not payed attention to at all. Just pathetic they even call themselves a gymnastics center.
DO NOT HOLD YOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY HERE!!! Possibly the worst party experience I have ever had for my son. I called multiple times and had extreme difficulties contacting the place. Should have been my hint to not hold my sons party here. But he wanted this location badly so I made the reservation. Had to go for a Sunday and not a Saturday because it took me more than a week to make contact. We arrived 15 min early to the gym. Doors locked and nobody was there. Waited until party time and nobody arrived to put on the party. So picture it... A party of 15 children and parents sitting around 10 min passed party time waiting for hostess to arrive. Pizza guy shows up and is sitting and waiting too. Call the number and I can hear the phone ringing inside the empty building. I ask the pizza guy if he has another number for them. He provided me another number. I call the number and lady on the other end of the phone says, Oh my gosh!! I forgot! Are you kidding me???!! You forgot? At this point Im literally so angry I cant think straight. Calling every other place in Idaho Falls trying to find some place I can run too and improvise a party in on a Sunday. Nothing open. 40 min after designated party time, hostess FINALLY arrived. Generally apologetic and fortunately party goes ok. At least cake and preparations were set up the night before. Party itself went well and they did not charge my for it. As I would assume anybody in thier position at this point would do. But you have got to be kidding that a place this large could just forget a party that I was supposed to pay up between $165 to $200 (depending on how many attend) for an hour and a half. And I am quite sure if the pizza guy had not provided me the number, it would have been forgotten completely.My sons loves this place and they could have gotten many years of parties out of my family and friends but all of my guests said they would not throw a party here ever. I was leary of letting someone else put on the party event entirely for me. Lesson learned. If you are gonna let someone else put on the party leave it to companies that do that. I jump, blast off, etc. This company may be able to teach gymnastics but they dont do well with parties.
The teachers are so nice and teach hard to get you to your goal!
Awesome place for active kids
The coaches kind of suck
My kids LOVE this place!
