Gymnastic Academy of Boston

I wanted to thank Coach Keri, Bailey, Jenni, and all of the wonderful staff at GAB Norwood for being amazing coaches the last several years. I first encountered GAB pre-pandemic with their Friday Open Gym sessions as a fun outing for me to bring my toddlers, back when I had 3 kids under the age of three. Since then, my oldest daughter has been a student and now a team member since kindergarten, my oldest son enjoyed the tumble tots program, and now my youngest child just enjoyed her first spring show with you all. The team at GAB with their instruction in gymnastics has built such a solid foundation of fitness for all of my children, who now variously play soccer, football, baseball, basketball, lacrosse, track, and volleyball. Your focus on building flexibility, strength, and cardio capacity, coupled with the fun of learning to move your body is so important. Youth sports have become so competitive that I fear that many kids are "burning out" while they're still children. GAB has a refreshing approach where the focus is on learning new skills to the best of a child's ability, with a large focus on fun. This approach has kept my kids engaged for years, and always excited to go to practice.

All the teachers we've had there have been patient and supportive with our anxious 4 year old as he adjusts to the environment and becomes more confident and tries new things there through their classes!

Our 3 year old loves coming here! It’s such an enjoyable class for toddlers. Miss Jenny and Coach Anthony are the absolute best! They are great with kids and overall make the experience better. Keri is also amazing.

We held our twins 7th birthday party at the GAB Norwood location on Saturday and had an awesome time! The planning and communication was very easy and they called to check in a few days before as well. The contract is straightforward and shows they take pride in your parties scheduled time and want to ensure you have the personal experience you are paying for. Its great that the kids transition through 3-5 activities and spaces because it keeps them excited, moving and engaged. There is really something for everyone and the coaches are accommodating and encouraging. The party space is clean and the coaches are hands on asking throughout the party how they can help and cleaning as they go. The coaches were friendly, enthusiastic and really made all the kids feel special. There are a lot of birthday party options out there but the value of what you get for the cost you pay for is incredibly reasonable and I appreciate that so much! Keep up the good work GAB!

We hosted our daughter’s 4th birthday party here at GAB and she had a blast! She still talks about it months later. Everyone were super friendly and kind especially Keri. She was so awesome to work with. She responded to all of my emails right away answering all of my questions. She was very flexible and understanding—I had to switch the party date so many times. Overall everyone had a great time! We were very pleased with how everything went! The only thing I would like to tweak is, if we were given a little more prep time to decorate the party room. There was a party before us and they took a little longer to leave and I was rushing to get everything done in the party room as our guests were arriving. That was a little hectic, but the coaches took all the kids to entertain them so us adults were able to set up! We made it through and everything came out nice! The most important thing was that kids had so much fun! My daughter had so much fun so it was all worth it!! Thank you GAB team for a great birthday party!! Definitely recommend it if anyone looking to host parties here!
