Best Gymnastics Gym near Mt-olive, New-jersey

Disappointing, unprofessional and verbally abusive. Long story short, my 5 year old daughter had her very first class at this establishment. She was grouped with another class with Elizabeth as the “coach” she was the most unprofessional and inconsiderate person. She demanded a headstand from my daughter who has never done this activity before and when she couldn’t do it, she became overwhelmed and asked to go back to her parents. She was told she wasn’t allowed to go to her parents for another 20 minutes and my daughter immediately felt overwhelmed and started crying. Elizabeth told her she doesn’t care if she cries, she doesn’t want to hear it and she said she has to now stand on the side and cannot participate instead of doing her job and actually teaching her. My daughter immediately ran over to us, thankfully as she shouldn’t have to be spoken to or treated like that, and was very upset. Elizabeth nor any other coach came to check on her until Michele at the front desk was notified. We didn’t know what happened until we left the facility and a friend with her older daughters who witnessed what happened called to tell us what they saw. In disbelief of how a “coach” could treat and speak to a 5 year old on her very first day, we immediately went back to speak to them, since they never answer their phone. Michele ensured she would get to the bottom of this and give her a day to do so. Additionally as I was speaking to Michele, another mom turned to my husband and expressed “that is how all the coaches are here”. We gave 48 hours of silence to call where we spoke to Mary Kate who was just as rude about the situation and lied that the owner Maggie was on vacation this week, when she was absolutely there teaching the Raiders cheer, and that Michele wasn’t there for the rest of the week - Michele never mentioned any time off. We received our money back - great - but we still have yet -3 weeks later -have heard from them. I specifically am requesting Elizabeth owing my daughter a verbal apology and needs to own her disrespectful actions. I truly would not recommend this place - if I could rate it a 0 I absolutely would.

The structure and coaching doesn't have an elite feel as it once did. Kinda chaotic with young instructors and kids laying around not advancing, and when asked why, they said it was an attention issue with the 4 year olds. It's a money grab

Northern Elite is not only a great gym for gymnastics but an amazing cheer and acro tumbling gym as well. The coaches are caring as well as professional. The owners and staff create a family based environment and always have the athletes best interest in mind. It has been a pleasure to drop my daughter off at Northern Elite for the past 7 years and know that she will be taken care of by the staff. My daughter loves the gym and refuses to miss a day with her friends, coaches....her extended family!

My daughter has been at Northern Elite for 6 plus years now and we LOVE it there. I would recommend our gym to anyone who has an interest in doing a tumbling class, All Star Cheer or Competitive gymnastics. Last year they started an Acro and Tumbling team that is amazing ! You will not get better coaches than what we have at NE. The coaching staff is extremely talented and professional. The office staff is always willing to work with your needs. I would never think of taking my daughter anywhere else!

Our daughter came to Northern Elite in 2011, after her coach at another gym moved out of state. Jackie and Sergio made our daughter feel right at home. The coaching staff, Jackie, Sergio and Kim & Michelle have given her all the tools and skills to be a USAG Competitive Gymnast. During her first two years she also was on Northern Elites Team Gym which was great! Everyone at the gym, makes the gymnasts and their families feel like they are one big family. The facility itself is beautiful and I haven't seen any that compare in size, equipment and cleanliness. The office staff is always available for any questions for parents and the kids. The coaches, are awesome! All the coaches, for individual gymnastics, tumble, team, cheer, are all very very professional and bring many different talents to the gym. You will know all the staff, coaches no matter what group or team your child is on because you become ONE BIG FAMILY!!!
