Winchester Gymnastics Academy

I signed up my 7 year old daughter for a gymnastics class here. The gymnastics class itself was decent - the teachers seemed knowledgeable and my daughter generally enjoyed the sessions. However, there were too many students per class even with multiple instructors, which limited the individualized attention each child received. My main issue was with how they handled recognition at the end of the session. They gave ribbons only to the students who "passed" and could advance to the next level. My daughter did not receive a ribbon, and she was absolutely crushed. As a young child just starting gymnastics, having no recognition at all was very disheartening for her. I think it would be better to provide some simple recognition (a ribbon for the level they are in) to all students who complete the session to keep them motivated and feeling good about their initial efforts. Leaving some students empty-handed, especially at that young age, hurts their self-confidence and makes them not want to continue with the sport. The class itself was OK, but I can't give a higher rating because of the lack of thought around how they motivate and encourage younger beginners. A little recognition can go a long way.

Great toddler class. Very affordable compared to a lot of the chain gym classes. Brings in a more real introduction to gymnastics.

This is such a money hungry place it’s so sad. The staff is rude.

Daughter loves it as an after school activity

Love this place. Great place for kids to learn gymnastics.
