I catch wind of smoky BBQ from the food truck parked out front. Entering the facility, I'm greeted by genuinely friendly and efficient front desk crew who magically provide individual care and attention to the onslaught of little ducklings, their parents, acrobats, cheerleaders, seasoned tumblers, trickers, and clueless geezers like myself. I notice the uncommonly clean bathroom before making it upstairs to the mezzanine where parents watch with bird's eye view, perhaps contemplating signing up for one of the many adult classes that initially brought me here. Below are groups of students and coaches of all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds training a spectrum of skills. Hard work, kindness, and staying young transcend our differences in this sweet facility. At first I dipped my toe into one class a week, but dove deep soon after. The owner and his father, the coaches, the amazing front desk crew - they make me feel like family. The quality of instruction and whimsical community here keep me looking forward to every one of my (now 5) weekly classes (plus private lessons). I'm healthier, happier, and have so much gratitude for this gym and all its contents.

This is our 2nd home!!! We absolutely love it here. We have been coming here for 2.5 years. Each and every class has been amazing. The coaches worked with my daughter and challenged her to do her best. Even if competitive gymnastics isn’t your thing, this is a great place for a good fun workout. They have something for everyone.

Very nice, big, and clean facility. The coaches care about their students and they know how to keep them engaged. This is our first gymnastics class and I had my doubts… but my daughter is doing rolls and balancing on a beam by herself after just 4 classes. I’m impressed. I even feel comfortable walking into the bathroom in my socks or bare feet because there seems to always be someone cleaning it! And.. what’s really neat… there’s a set of bleachers set up on top of the middle section of the gym.. making is easy for parents to relax, out of the way, and still see everything going on.

This is a tremendous organization. We would highly recommend this for any child looking to improve their overall athleticism. They put the kids through a great workout and keep it fun and engaging for all ages. The staff is professional and courteous. One of the best run training facilities I have seen in many years.

We had an amazing birthday party! Everything was taken care of and I didn’t have to do anything except show up. It was very stress free. We loved the staff!! They interacted with the kids and did a wonderful job! The gym is so nice and clean. Highly recommend. No one wanted to leave!!

We love this place! My 9 year old daughter started in beginner's gymnastics and has moved up to gymnastics 1 in just a few weeks. The coach noticed her skills and moved her up. That is the kind of attention we were hoping to receive. The coaches are funny and motivating without coddling. It is preparing my child for future athletics, she'll have no issue with tough love that competitive coaches often give. The environment is very welcoming and friendly. I love how many options my child has, maybe she'll become an acrobat!

We've been so happy with Emilia's for our 4 year old that I wanted to leave an unsolicited review. Emilia's has been so great for building our daughter's self esteem and for learning new, fun skills. Our daughter describes her class as "super hero training" and absolutely loves it! Also, the office staff and coaches have been great -- always friendly and so helpful. Once we had a complaint (a chaotic class with a substitute coach), the manager (Yuri) was extremely responsive and helpful. He had excellent follow up, met us after our next class to make sure it went well, and we've only had good classes since! Our daughter's favorite is Coach Wayne, but they're all really great! Emilia's allows you to sign up for a free trial class before committing, and they have a balcony that overlooks the gym if you'd like to watch (it's also helpful if your little one is nervous for their first class -- you can just be a wave away!). Their flexible make-up policy is super easy and helpful for when you have a conflict and can't make it for class. We're so grateful for this place. They have options for all skill levels. This place is the go-to among our neighbors and it's easy to see why. We love it!

Hidden gem in Laurel! The facility is new, well built, and clean. The equipment looks to be quality and is anchored well. The staff are amazing, from the front desk to the instructors - always welcoming with big smiles. They have open gym times for those who want to just test it out, or give the kids something fun and physical to do and burn some energy. I highly recommend this place.

I love this place! I sent my daughter for spring break last week, her gymnastics skills have improved including her backhand spring and trampoline work. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. My daughter was excited to go back everyday with no complaints! We also had her birthday party there the weekend after where I got to see all her improved skills. amazing. This might be our yearly birthday spot because it was so stress free and fun. We all had a blast, and the best part other than getting the cake I didn’t have to lift a finger! Unheard of and simply amazing!

Emilia’s gymnastics has the best customer service! The individuals who answer phone calls and greet families at the front desk are kind and always helpful. The birthday party we had there recently was loads of fun! All you have to do is show up with a cake and the rest is handled! It was so well organized from start to finish. The kids had an absolute blast. It doesn’t matter if they can do gymnastics or not. There is something for everyone.

Best gymnastics gym in the DMV area. Amazing staff, clean facility and lots of events for kids. This place is so roomy and filled with smiles all around. The front desk ladies are so sweet and welcoming. The owner is very kind and always making sure families are enjoying their experience here. All the coaches are so engaging with the kids you can truly feel the love they have for working with children. We love this place. Do not hesitate to sign up for lessons you won’t regret it! + Mr. Thorr is one of our favorites!!

We have enjoyed gymnastics at Emilia’s Acrobatics, Gymnastics, and cheerleading. I came here for tech school in the Air Force with my family. We were looking for something my two girls would enjoy and also have some form of structure, both 5 and 2 years old. They love the classes and the coaches. All of the staff is wonderful and so nice! We are sad to be leaving such a wonderful gym but my orders are moving us elsewhere. We are excited for our next adventure and hope to find as wonderful place as this one as I feel it will be hard to match! If we ever find ourselves in the area again we will definitely be attending! Oh and they have adult classes! 🤗

We recently had my daughter's 9 bday there and it was the best party experience we've ever had! We've held her party at other venues before and the experience at EAGC is by far the best. Our party coaches Lexy, Makenna, & Dede were stellar! They handled prep, running the party, keeping kids engaged, everyone on schedule and helped with food/cake/party favors as well as clean up. Our coaches were fabulous with the kids and adults and really added fun to the party and decreased the typical parent stress about parties. Our guests shared with us how fantastic the party was and the great decorations, especially the festive balloon arch the coaches set up for kids to walk thru when they arrived to the party. The whole process was made easy by the staff and we are already talking about another gymnastics party next year.

My son has been attending camp at EAGC. He has been having so much fun! The staff are friendly and welcoming, and my son appreciates that he gets to make choices about the activities he participates in. We found Emilia’s when our planned camp closed, and it has been a blessing for my 5 yr old!

We had a birthday party for our daughters here and it was a blast! The staff was so friendly and engaging, they kept the kids entertained. And it was so easy, they did all the set up with their decorations, and all the clean up! The girls said it was their best birthday ever!!

I absolutely love this whole gym and it’s staff. Very professional and family oriented. To have an owner that is hands on and cares about the quality of classes, and staff is amazing. You don’t find that type of consistency often and I wouldn’t want my kids to attend anywhere else! Highly recommend this gym.

Our daughter has been attending gymnastics classes at Emilia's for several months and I cannot say enough positive things about them. Their staff is exceptional: warm, welcoming, and attentive to every student. They foster an amazing community and love of the sport while challenging each student to safely push themselves. It is hard to say who is more excited when a new accomplishment is achieved - the student or the coaches. We recently had our daughter's birthday party at Emilia's and were blown away by the experience. The staff listened to every request and setup a party space that was perfectly designed for her. Most important they carefully watched over the kids - some with no gym experience - and made sure everyone had a chance to try new equipment and skills. We had the gym almost to ourselves and all children ages 2-6 were happy and exhausted at the end of it - a sign of a great party!

They are the best! Most helpful amazing staff. We have had so much fun in all the tumbling and pre team classes. Open gyms are the best. Manager Yuri is phenomenal and always accommodating. Genevieve is always a ray of sunshine ready to help when we miss classes. Coach Thor, coach oxsana, coach Wayne, and coach Alex have taken a girl who’s tough to coach and have her working her butt off and really having fun. We appreciate you guys so much and will never go anywhere else. It all started from summer camps which are incredible and now we’re here 3 days a week year round.

I have two young children who have been doing gymnastics here at EAGC for the past 2 years and it is an amazing place with awesome, energetic, and enthusiastic coaches for all age groups. The awesome front desk staff are always so friendly and patient and helpful when answering questions on the phone or in-person, and they are just the nicest! The facility is spacious and has plenty of equipment for the multiple classes that are being held the same time. We feel so lucky to have such a fantastic gymnastics place so close to us! Great people! Great facility!

EAGC has been an amazing first gymnastics experience for me and my little. She has enjoyed the classes, the teachers are great with her and the front office communicates all the details. Emails for food trucks, substitutions for her class when her teacher is absent and tuition reminders. And the front office staff is always kind.

My dance partners and I worked with Daniil for years, with great results. We'd bring in video tapes of top nationals competitive dancers acrobatic moves, and ask him to figure it out - and teach us. He was always patient, and inspired us. Precisely what any champion team would want. we went on to compete all over the USA and over seas, and always glad to come back to Emelia's.

The staff is super friendly and experienced. The owner (Yuri) is so helpful, kind and friendly as well. They have classes for all ages, from toddlers to adults. They offer recreational programs as well as competitive acrobatics, plus camps and open gyms. They also do birthday parties. We love the atmosphere here and our 6 y/o loves her class.

My girls love the gym and the coaches! The staff is super friendly and helpful… I have twin girls and need help here and there while my older children are in classes; the staff brought me warm water to make them a bottle going above the call of duty. They helped me sit to the side w the twins but out the way. It makes juggling activities and bringing the twins sooo much easier. If you looking for a kid friendly and parent friendly environment bring them here! Best in MD

My son had the most amazing birthday party today with 30 of his friends at Emilia’s! Everything was taken care of making it completely stress free. The staff interacted with the kids and did a wonderful job keeping them entertained for the entirety of the party. The gym was so nice and clean. Most importantly, the kids had an amazing time and no one wanted to leave! Highly recommend hosting a birthday at EAGC!

I have been taking my daughter to this gymnastic gym for over two years now and I have to say I am very impressed with their hospitality. Every time we walk in we are greeted with a hello and a smile making things very welcoming since day one. The transition at first for my daughter was tough especially being in an environment that she was unfamiliar with, however there coaches made sure to gain her trust and helped her every step of the way. Now two years later my daughter gets excited not only to do gymnastics but to see the coaches. I’ve noticed numerous coaches take the time to know and understand how the kids work to better coach them. It’s always positive energy and excepting environment. This is a gym that is very diverse and welcoming to anybody and will take the time to help kids who are hesitant to fell comfortable in the gym.

Both of our boys LOVE coming to Emilia's. We have had nothing but amazing experiences with everyone who works here. From the incredibly helpful, thoughtful and friendly faces at the front desk to each and every one of the many instructors we have been fortunate enough to work with to the management staff, the folks at Emilia's go out of their way to make sure you have the best experience possible. The classes are engaging and appropriately challenging. Instructors are proactive, approachable and incredibly focused on the success of each and every student. I cannot recommend this place enough. Check it out for an open gym or take advantage of their amazing trial class opportunity. If you haven't been here you are missing out...big time! You'll just FLIP ;) over how amazing this place is!
