    My daughter loved doing gymnastics here. The owner was always nice. Teachers changed often and classes were over crowded but watching the skills of the older girls gave me hope that my daughter could get to a high level of expertise there too. They are very talented and disciplined. Unfortunately we stopped classes because the building is simply dirty. Its obviously an old facility and the old, musty, mildew odor hits you as soon as you enter . The bathrooms and lobby definitely need to be redone. Carpet too. Its holds too many germs and smells. It's time! Ants, roaches, mouse traps. Really gave me a creepy feeling.

    ZERO STARS!!! This place is basically ran by teens, with little adult supervision. We had a few minor incidents here, but the final straw was Coach Evelyn calling my young child stupid. I voiced my concerns to the owner who stated she would discipline and “probably” remove her. However, when I came in the next day expecting to speak to the coach in person, the owner stated she wasn’t present, which my children later told me was a lie. The young ladies at the front desk also told me that they’ve had other complaints about this coach, yet she was still allowed to work with children. Do not send your kids here, unless you want to them to be bullied, verbally abused, and talked down to by staff who are supposed to be teaching them gymnastics in a positive and supportive environment. Management also lacks accountability and are willing to lie and brush incidents under the rug. I’m disgusted by how this place conducts business and treats children.

    Next month will make it one year since we’ve been a part of the MGA family. My daughters came in with no experience and are now more confident working on each skill. I love the fact that you get to see and interact with the owners often. They are very involved and will even take over teaching if they are short on staff. Speaking of the staff, I love the coaches. They’re firm but so patient with the kids. I particularly appreciated this because my youngest daughter struggles with staying with her classes and being focused. I love all the ladies who have had a chance to teach my girls, ESPECIALLY Coach Michelle. When it’s really high enrollment, get ready for a full spectator section and challenging class transitions as everyone tries to navigate space.

    Although the competitive program is no longer offered, they are fantastic if you want to build skills and have fun. My daughter goes there for summer camp and after just 3 weeks I was able to see the change in her poster and strength. MGA was great for my daughters’ needs, she does cheer, dance, and acro. She was able to physically grow as an athlete in just 3 weeks. Had I known how challenging and fun they were I would have booked more weeks for her. The quality of service is in line with pricing, and they happen to be a lot cheaper than some of the other gymnastics and tumbling camps I've seen.

    We had my son's first not at home party here today. Sam and the young lady (I don't want to butcher her name but it started with an S) were wonderful party hosts. And there was another young lady who helped with set up when we arrived. We had such a good time one of my friends signed her son up for camp before leaving. From booking to clean up this was a great party experience. Every email and phone call was answered promptly. My son is shy about trying new things and he and his friends had a great time Thanks for helping us to have a wonderful day of celebration!

    Lazy and inconsistent teachers that spend most of their times checking their watches and yawning rather than teaching for the preschool class. Don’t waste your money and time here. I definitely would not recommend.

    Great instructors! My 8 year old learned to do the backhand spring in 3 months. The facility is well maintained and the staff members are friendly. There is never a shortage of hand sanitizers for gymnasts and their parents. The class is crowded on certain days than others but the instructors makes sure all the kids take part in each training session.

    They resently started to reward kids with candy after every class. Too bad 🥺 Otherwise the place, staff and level of work are nice. However, it's all not worth it if the price to pay is sugar addiction. I had to make a tough decision after a very nice year with them. They were firm on continuing doing that.

    I love that I found an extra curricular activity that is suitable for my active son! But I couldn’t give this program 5 stars because of the lack of structure at times. Most times children are standing around waiting for their turn instead of being active the entire time. The class is an hour and the children spend at least 20 mins standing around. Honestly, there should be more than one instructor especially for bigger class sizes. My child is active and because he has to stand around waiting for his turn, he tends to get bored and starts entertaining himself. One “particular” instructor is not too fond of that and many times has sat him out because he is not using his listening ears. Which in my opinion is unacceptable. I believe children should learn the art of patience but I am not paying for him to “sit out” other than that it’s a great program! & I do recommend It- just needs a bit more structure!

    13yrs ago my daughter Jasmin took gymnastics. Enjoyed every moment. And now I bring my 5yr old granddaughter. Looking forward to her gaining the same skills like her Titi.

    The children have a great time. The owner is super nice, as well as her staff. I think the fees are reasonable, as compared with other gyms in the DMV.

    My experience at this gym has been great all around. The coaches at the gym are patient and talented. I have heard that mostly all the coaches were actually students at the gym when they were younger. Wowwww in my opinion that is great to know that they have experience in this sport. The owner of the gym is kind and ensures a safe environment as well as a great time for everyone. The gym also holds camps during the summer that allow kids to have more time to learn new skills and clean up old ones. During COVID, I was a little hesitant as to whether or not the gym would uphold the proper standards to keep everyone safe. And once I got to the gym I knew I had nothing to worry about. The coaches separate the larger groups of kids so that it isn’t crowded and they clean in between classes. I was and still am pleased with this gym’s facility, staff, and dedication.

    This is the best gymnastic center in Maryland. I been coming there since I was a baby and now I'm 15 years old. The coaches are so nice and very professional. In addition, The owner is fantastic at what she does !

    The pricing of MGA Gymnastics is very affordable, however, that's pretty much the best part. I signed my son up for Tumbling and Boys Gymnastics classes and he spent the majority of the time just running around playing and entertaining himself when the teacher wasn't paying attention to him. My son has a ton of energy and enjoys playing here, which is the only reason he remained for the rest of the month. He did not learn much of anything. Once the teacher shows one kid a particular move once, that's it. The tell the kid to practice that particular move without really helping them improve or do it correctly and then the teacher moves on to teaching another move. There doesn't seem to be an actual curriculum or method for improvement. Also, there is a serious lack of structure due to several classes going on at the same time in close proximity. Again, the majority of the time, my son just ran around jumping on random gymnastics equiptment until it was his turn to cartwheel or flip. When ever the teacher wasn't helping a particular kid, they literally just ran off and entertained themselves until something else was taught. Literally all of the kids did this, so my son just followed along. I feel like I only paid for a children's playtime class to be honest, but again, for the price you can't really expect much more I suppose.

    My 2 year old daughter did the trial class and will now be going once a week for preschool classes. From what I saw in the trial, the kids are introduced to a variety of skills. My only issue is that the website needs to be updated. You cannot tell from the website which classes are full. I ended up driving up to the gym with my daughter and my daughter not being able to participate due to the classes being full. You should also be able to choose which class you're signing up for when you pay online.
