I have two daughters who are on the all star cheer leading teams (GY Elite). We had the opportunity to cheer for each of their locations. Last year we decided to cheer for the Shrewsbury and Leader Heights locations, as it was closer to our home. The location was great; however if you are looking for a someone who cares about the team in its entirety and will bring out the best in your children, please take the drive up to Manchester. I drive 40 minutes to get to this location. The coaches, Toya, Ashley, Dawn and Melissa are so passionate and dedicated. They are patient and knowledgeable. They want to see ALL of the children progress together as a team. They teach the children the meaning of comradery which is so important because there is no I in TEAM. When I drop off my children here, theres no doubt in my mind that they are safe and in a positive environment. YOU KNOW YOURE IN THE RIGHT PLACE WHEN YOUR CHILDREN ARE READY TO GO TO PRACTICE AND YOU DONT HAVE TO REMIND THEM (i forgot to mention, we go to practice 5 nights per week)! As a parent, having my children in a healthy positive environment where they are happy, comfortable and learning is so important to me. The teams here at Manchester are very competitive. The prices are very reasonable, the training is awesome and the memories that my girls will have are priceless. The experience this year at Manchester for my girls, the friendships that theyve formed and their athletic growth has sealed the deal for us!
Was just talking with my wife about how glad we are that we left this joke of a gym a year ago. We totally forgot to leave a review as to hopefully warn future parents to stay far away. Let me start by saying that the Male owner(I think? Drives a mustang) was the only person at least trying. He came off as being fake sometimes but at least he hid his frustration from the kids he was teaching... Now to the real reason why this place is horrible. Theres a white female teacher in her 30s(?) that is pure evil. We watched her literally shove preschool age children including our daughter, she had no patience, gave up on kids that she didnt like and picked favorites. These are little kids so ofcourse they dont follow instructions 100% but rather than calmly talking to the kids she would instead put them on timeout without explanation to the child or ignore them completely which led to the problem never being corrected... We were stubborn and stayed at the gym for a few months naively hoping things would get better. The facility is just pathetic overall compared to where we are now. Maybe the lady has been fired by now so things might be better but who knows
My daughter has been attending the preschool gymnastics class here for a couple of months. This has been her first extracurricular experience as she has not started school yet and does not attend any type of daycare. My daughter also has a Birth Injury and a very high energy level, both of which the instructors work around weekly to provide her with the Gymnastics Instruction that we pay for (at a very reasonable price!). They are kind and understanding that she does things to the best of her ability. They are helpful with the positions that she cannot 100% do herself. And they expect her to behave as a responsible gymnast who listens to instruction. With her high energy level, sometimes listening is difficult for her. But they hold her accountable for her actions, as both her father and I expect them to! When any of the gymnasts arent listening or arent focused, they are sent to sit and have a time out until they can gather themselves so that the environment is safe for all gymnasts that are at the gym trying to learn. My daughter loves her Gymnastics class and the instructors that help her to grow and learn more about Gymnastics. She looks forward to class every week.
My daughter has been attending this gym for 3 months and has grown as a gymnast so much under the unsurpassed coaching of Justin, Simone, and Hannah. My daughters handstands are beautiful. Her tumbling is strong and crisp. Her confidence on the beam is growing! I love the discipline they insist on as well. Before we became members of Gymnastics Of York we lived down south and the gym was more of a romp room. Kids running in front of others trying to work, trying to trip others on the beams, and complete chaos. There was no control and it was a safety issue for those children that truly wanted to get something from this sport. I am so pleased to see that the coaches here have the entire room under their control because that means my daughter will be safe. I highly recommend Gymnastics Of York if you are truly interested in watching your child blossom as a gymnast and young lady.
My daughter attended only for 1 month so far, and although she isnt quite 3 just yet and not completely ready for the preschool level, the instructors were awesome with her, making sure not push her along, letting her go at her own pace!! All the kids were willing to help her along, but also knew they needed to make sure they pay attention themselves, I especially loved how they do not put up with any bad behavior and the children know they will be sitting until they calm themselves or start paying attention to directions, not only for the other kids not to get distracted but also for the safety for all the kids since this is gymnastics!!
My daughter is new to the Gymnastics of York. After having done gymnastics at another gym for over 7 years we felt it was time for a change. I cannot say enough about how much we have enjoyed our experience thus far. She is learning and smiling the whole time she is there. It has been a long time since I have seen her this excited about the sport she loves. Thank you Justin and team!!!
I love Manchester Gymnastics, they care and put you to work when you need a skill. You practice for about 2 hours depending on the level, I personally was on level 3 and I stopped going (due to family reasons) I was treated like a professional gymnast. The warm-up and the condition is different most of the times but, sometimes we do handstand competitions. Overall I recommend this gym because of mr.Justin and the other trainors
The price is reasonable, i love how patient the staff are with the kids, how much fun tje kids have while learning to do gymnastics. Its definitely something affordable that the girls love
Very good people run this place.
I have been bringing my daughter her for a few months now. Mr Justin Miss Allison and Miss Simone are AMAZING instructors! They are very patient with all the students but at the same time hold them accountable when then misbehave. My daughter has learned so much in the past few months thanks to the Instructors. Weve had nothing but a positive experience! I recommend GY: Manchester 100%!!
