DO NOT ATTEND ACADEMY WEST. ITS BAD!! Its hard to Beleave this but my child lost out on all of her competition which we paid $1,200 for and they had to cancel due to covid19. I feel we are owed a partial refund. When i called to pull my child from their program there was no apology or any.. i paid around $4,000 they only had 1 meet. They canceled the rest of the season.I paid 100% of everything. That was another issue with the gym they didnt know how to handle their books... WORST GYM EVER DO NOT GO!!! kids didnt even win hardly anyone even won ribbons or anything...MANAGEMENT IS UNHINGED AND HUMILATED MY KID!!! DO NOT GO!!!! My kid came home crying all the time....ACADEMY WEST WILL MONEY SHAME YOU AND MAKE YOUR KIDS CRY... ALSO, they lie i paid 100% they were trying to say this before the pandemic but I finally got them to admit it. I guess they all are thinking of the same thing..

Absolutely love this place and so does my 4 year old! The staff and coaches are very professional. I love how they teach the kids structure but always keep it fun, and exciting!

I was just at academy west today to watch a gymnastics competition. The meet began at 3 and it was recommended for gymnast to be there 30 minutes early so we arrived early as well to secure a good seat( especially when I’m paying to get into the gym to watch) There were no seats available, and over 50 people were forced to stand for almost a 2-3 hour event. When we arrived we were assured that the amount of people was because of a previous meet and it would clear out and there would be enough seats. Not to mention the parking lot is horrendous and you have to park in literal mud. For how much gymnast families pay in gym fees/team fees it is disappointing that their hard work can not be enjoyed by their families.

Ive worked with Academy West for over 4 years now and also worked with Courtney (their optionals coach) for many years before. They have been so positive and amazing. I cant say enough great things about everyone that works there. They are organized, great with the kids, personable and so friendly. Ive always felt like this gym was my home away from home and see how happy the kids are.

My Boy Girl twins attend the Tumbling Tadpoles and I cant express enough how much I love the class. Coach Tonya is wonderful with the kids. She does a fantastic job of teaching the students to have respect, taking turns, and following the rules. My children are truly learning from these these tumbling classes.

I have been with Academy West for many years. I have tried other dance and gymnastics places but always come back. The facility is clean, the staff is knowledgeable, the front office is very friendly, and if I have any concerns I feel like Im heard.I have had issues before but was able to communicate my issue openly without feeling attacked for having my own opinion. Thats something I really value when it comes to the success of my two daughters.

Great staff that are really dedicated to the gymnast and their development. My daughter looks forward to her time in the gym every week. Solid development program you can see your childs skill level go up every week. Only draw back is that the gymnast get attached to the coaches and it makes it hard for them to move to the next level. This is only because of the level of attention your child will receive.

My girls love it here! They cant seem to get enough! The office staff are very friendly and accommodating. I enjoy visiting with them. We often share ideas with one another. The coaches are great! You can tell that they truly enjoy what they do! Coach Joe is amazing! How can one person be in so many places at once??!! The staff at the gym are family oriented and willing to try new things, some of which, involve the whole family. Take GALS for example, I love their workouts! Thanks for 4 great years! Looking forward to many more.

I am a Grandma to 7 active kids. I love to watch ALL the kids perform in meets; watch them train from a glassed in viewing room; and participate in many of the different activities sponsored by Academy West. I love the newly renovated space! The management is professional & helpful and I love the coaches. If I was a judge Id give them a solid 10!!!

I basically payed $70 for my toddler to play on the equipment which I could have gotten at a park for free. I tried out one class at the Little Gym in Draper and loved it but this place was closer. The class structure at the Little Gym was great toddlers are super distracted but basically the teacher would show us how to do a trick than we would make our way to the station a practice it than once everyone went she went to a new station and trick. So my toddler ran and played but we learned something.I was expecting the same type of thing at Academy West. First class I got no direction nothing even though it was clear we were new. Finally I asked the teacher what I should be doing. She hands me a paper with a list of gymnastic moves on it. First I have never done gymnastics I dont know what any of these things are. Second how am I suppose to read a freaking paper while chasing a toddler around!?! So basically the only time the teacher just didnt stand around was when I had to specifically ask her to show me what to do with my toddler. And I never saw her so any other parents anything. I guess they just knew what they were doing. I gave it four weeks to see if it got better it didnt. I hear tell the older child classes are great but the parent/toddler classes are a total rip off take your child to play at the park instead.

Great place. My youngest daughter took Gymnastics for a couple of seasons and now my oldest is in competitive dance. We love the coaches and the Officer ladies. Everyone here is great and they are very good to my girls.

My daughter broke her foot two weeks ago. She paid to participate in a meet at this gym (trains at a different gym) but even with advanced notice they wouldn’t refund the entry fee even though she was seriously injured. Avoid this place.

Have a few great coaches whom I love and adore, but the owners are a pain to work with and are NOT very accommodating. They have very poor business management and poor attitude towards customers. Very unprofessional.They also have a lot of very undertrained staff members who they let run some of their higher level classes who are clearly spotting WELL above their comfort zone and trained ability. This company only cares about their competitive gymnastics program and limits their other programs with their lack of attention. This would be a great company under different management, but the current owners do a very poor job. I would not recommend this company.

They push the kids through the levels whether they are ready or not then make them feel bad when they cant perform a trick. Need better coaches.

I started taking tumbling seriously in my late twenties and love how Academy West has embraced me and has worked with me to achieve my goals. The coaching staff is absolutely amazing and love how they offer open gym time for me to practice my skills in a safe environment.
