★Kristen VelguthMy daughter has been going here for three to four years and there has always been a communication problem with the staff. No one answer phones, there's gaps in who is covering what class and to top it off we finally found a coach that was willing to motivate and work with my daughter. Someone who cared to teach gymnastics instead of allowing the kids to run around like its a typical elementary school gym class. Without any type of communication the coach decided not to continue teaching the 5yr old class. No farewell from the coach on her last day, no call or email from the gym staff OR any kind of mention from the new coach who took over the class. It is one thing for a child to have a problem listening because of their age and attention span, but it is a whole other thing for a child to run off to do their own thing and the coach doesn't try to draw them back. Allowing them to potentially injure themselves on equipment that is far too advanced for their age. New management has taken over within the last year and there has been no changes other than the staff being 18yrs and above, and physical building changes/updates. They need coaches who will be more stern with the kids and make them follow directions. I have toughed it out for far too long at this facility. It's time for me to move my daughter somewhere else where she can grow as a gymnasts.
★Mary Kate BarrettExtremely unprofessional management. The new manager abruptly fired a beloved artistic coach in front of the children during practice, causing shock and confusion among the team. This coach was well-respected and cared for by both gymnasts and parents alike. Since then, the coaching staff has completely fallen apart, and all of the girls on the competitive artistic team have left the gym due to the poor leadership. It’s incredibly disappointing to see such a great program unravel so quickly because of mismanagement. Note that this review has nothing to do with coach Maria(who’s is fantastic) and her team.
★★★★★Assel KulievaMy daughter started rhythmic gymnastics at Elite Sports Complex when she was 4 y.o. She is turning 8 this year and we are still enrolled in rhythmic. The head coach Ms. Maria was able to recognize my daughter’s potential at the very young age and she led my daughter to high achievements. The past season my daughter won Regional and other competitions. But more importantly my daughter loves coming to practice and she is enjoying the process itself. Rhythmic gymnastics team also has ballet classes few times a week. Our ballet teacher, Ms. Lena is also great. She is teaching our girls to show beautiful clean lines within the routines. It is very difficult to find such professional and experienced coaches as Ms. Maria and Ms. Lena. If you are looking for a beautiful and elegant sport for your daughter, Elite Sports Complex is the right place for you!
★★★★★gergana horozovaparents often forget that gymnastics is a competitive sport—it teaches kids discipline, perseverance, focus, and how to handle both wins and setbacks with grace. Both my kids are in gymnastics here with different coaches, and we love it! The coaching is fantastic, the teams are amazing, and the discipline has been great for them. Totally worth every penny—and it definitely beats having them on their phones all day! Coach Maria is strict but fair, and honestly, her team showcases her talent every time they step on the podium—finishing in the top 5 out of 60–80 gymnasts in the region two years in a row! And Coach Bachi? If you don’t love gymnastics with him, gymnastics just isn’t for you.
★★★★★VX67Updated on 04/12/2025: I'm glad to see that the general manager has taken this concern seriously and acted by splitting the class. With smaller group sizes, each athlete now has a better opportunity to fully engage, receive more attention, and enjoy their gymnastics experience. I truly hope this is not just a short-term fix, but a lasting improvement. Original: No complaints to the coach. The capacity is increased to 10 kids per class this year, which limits each kid’s practice time. Also, I doubt if the coach can cover 10 kids and provide sufficient guide and protection, especially during the different skills practices sessions.
