We absolutely love bringing our daughter here. Even though we moved from where we were when she initially started going and it’s a 35min drive to and from, it’s worth it. The amount of love and passion all of these coaches have for each kid is incredible. They help each child individually be the best they can be, as well as grow as a team. I am beyond impressed at how they have handled this whole pandemic and getting the kids back in there safely. My daughter loves coming, and it has helped her in so many ways outside of gymnastics as well!
All of the coaches are really nice and supportive. Great gym. My daughters love it.
My son loves Parents night out here! And I do too, Date night is actually doable now :) Staff is awesome and prices are great! Kids get Pizza and dessert and get a change to let all the wiggles out safely and monitored. Thanks for everything Sky Valley!
Surprised with all the negative reviews but my daughter been here for 6 months so far and we absolutely LOVE IT. Way better and cheaper than Leading Edge. My daughter skills are improving a lot quicker here, but at first I wasn’t feeling her teacher being a good coach but thank god she left back to school lol. New coach is better and giving my daughter the attention she finally deserves! Even came up to me to offer a private lesson on a skill that she only needs to progress to the next level and I just felt like we were finally at our home gym. Leading edge never got back to me about private lessons and I even addressed the interest of my daughter doing a one on one lesson, but nope! Which is fine because i rather not give them anymore of my money and waste it...
Our experience at Sky Valley started out positive, then took a turn. My four-year-old daughter began leaving her tumbling class briefly to visit me in the viewing area. I asked her teacher, Jaime, how she would like me to handle her leaving for a couple minutes. Jaime said it was really up to me. My daughter easily followed Jaimes instructions otherwise and was very focused while in class. Suddenly, the teacher was switched without notice and the new teacher had other issues with my daughter (none of which I actually witnessed while watching every minute of every class). Instead of speaking with me, this teacher had to director talk to me. In my opinion, the director approached me using very poor tact, advising me how disrespectful my daughter is, how much trouble she was causing and how much of a liability it is, etc. She clearly did not observe my daughter during class. I was a little blindsided, as nothing positive was said about my daughter. I agree my daughter leaving class was not ideal, but felt berated by the way the director addressed the situation. Feeling like we werent welcome, I calmly advised her we would go ahead and withdrawal immediately. She seemed surprised. Another staff member added that they just want to communicate these things with parents. If that were true, I believe the teacher who works with my daughter weekly could have talked with me. Instead, it was someone who clearly did not know anything about my daughter and had no advice or possible suggestions. We continued my daughters ballet and will opt for another gym next summer. My credit card was charged a month and a half in advance and I was advised I have a credit if we want to return. Im not going to bother trying to get a refund, as it would likely be a waste of time.Another upsetting situation I witnessed before my daughters withdrawal involved a group of pre-teens during their summer camp. Apparently, one boy damaged a piece of equipment by goofing around during some of the groups exercises. The instructor stopped the entire group of about 30 kids, lined them up and yelled about the damage, respect, etc. The boy was berated in front of his peers and ran out, crying. Seemed to me that could have been handled better as well.
As others said, it started out ok. I think its good to push a kid beyond their limits, but when they say ouch, you stop! A few kids, including my son, complained they were pushed to hard to get into a position. Maybe their young coaches need better training. All this during spring camp, apparently a child wasnt doing whats expected, the teachers were upset with what my son felt was the whole group because of 1-2 ( I wont assume because I didnt hear them), then the coaches told the kids to put their heads down & their lunches were going to be hid! A game they like to play or something done out of anger!? My son didnt find his, a friend did, hidden under a heavy mat. I asked my son if they were given more time to eat, he wasnt sure. I find this sad that adults (there were adults there!) thought this was funny. Im glad I didnt have my son there all week. Never going back!! Should I call them? Would you like to explain your method if an employees is reading this!!?? I should have read the reviews AND listened to other friends who had issues too.
Been taking my daughter to Preschool here since she was 2. We live in Lake Stevens and continue to drive all the way to Monroe to take her here. A friend recommended this place and were glad we signed up. The teachers are awesome and my daughter ♡s going here! Sad this is her last year here and then its off to kindergarten!
I wish I could give lower stars. So disappointed in the whole experience for my daughter last night. I signed her up for the beginners tumbling class. She was so excited and so nervous. We arrived and not a single teacher came over to welcome her. Literally just threw her to the wolves.I paid the $40 registration but she got the first class as a “free” trial.She began stretching and running with the other kids but was confused with the stretches. Her class also had three other new kids and then 6 kids who had been there for awhile.The teacher helped her maybe twice but then would turn her back and not watch or encourage. Then they setup 6 stations where she quickly explained and let them go. My daughter looked up at me like “what do I do?” And I had to shrug. Another girl went and asked the teacher to help her to which she replied “I showed everyone she should have been paying attention.” NOPE!!! She’s 6 and this is her first class ever!!!She tried to help my daughter but was expecting so much more out of her, and I could see my daughter tearing up. So I yelled down and asked if she wanted to leave, to which she nodded.We were there for 24 minutes.The coach came to the front desk and I told her this was way too hard. She said “sorry it was so hard for you....” yeahhhhhh.... she also said she would refund the money when they called in the next day.They did call today but I’ve been informed that the $40 is non refundable and it says on the website. Soooo I feel a little lied to. Even if it says it on your website, have common decency to refund a poor girl that didn’t even stay the whole time.Very disappointed with the whole experience. Would not recommend for beginners. My poor girl.
Never send your kids here. The coaches were ignorant and lied to me when i voiced my complaints. My son came home with welts and bruises all over him. On a 90 degree day, they walked with 40 kids and 3 coaches 9 blocks to the park and wouldnt let the kids sit in the shade, the 5 to 13 year olds were all in the same class, doing the same activities that my 13 year old daughter found difficult. My son and daughter both went and did not want to go back. When I called and told them issues that I listed here and more, they lied. When I told them how my daugher disliked it so that much she didnt want to go back and asked for some of my money back, seeing as how expensive it was, and my daughter only went one day, the lady snapped at me, told me that If your daughter really hates it so much, she just doesnt have to come back., Took my daughter off the list, and refused to give me any money back. I am extremely disappointed at their service and care of the children, not to mention their attitude toward customers.
The people here are very welcoming and you are always greeted with a smile. The coaches work to have drills and routines that fit to your needs. I have had a wonderful experience and will recommend it to my friends.
My daughter loves it here. Weve done two camps, open gym and Parents Night Out. All of them are great.
A great gym with awesome staff!

I have heard wonders about the staff my kids have never joined but but I have friends that their kids are in love with their programs.
You dont get the training you need
