My child is currently enrolled at Inspire Gymnastics PNW, but getting in touch with anyone at this business has been incredibly frustrating. I've called multiple times and sent text messages with no response whatsoever. As a parent with a child already in the program, being unable to reach staff for questions or concerns is really unacceptable. I hope they address their communication issues soon, because it's hard to feel confident leaving your kid somewhere that won't return your calls or texts.

This place is great! The coaches treat our kids like people and not as monetary values. The coaches teach the kids according to their desires, only pushing the kids when girls request it. You can see the amount of love the girls have for each coach. Plus, gym fees are fair and there is no bogus contract. I am happy with organization and wish it great and continous success.

Our daughter started at this gym when she was 7 years old and is now 13. We’ve seen so much growth, not just in her gymnastics, but in her confidence and love for the sport. Since the new owners took over about three years ago, the atmosphere has been incredible. The coaches truly care about their athletes; they see them, support them, and make thoughtful adjustments when needed, whether it’s due to injury, fear, or just needing a little extra encouragement. After finishing her Level 7 season in 2023, our daughter decided to take a year off, unsure if she wanted to continue gymnastics. After some time away, she realized how much she missed the sport, her coaches, and her teammates. When she decided to return, there was never a question of where to go, coming “home” to Inspire Gymnastics this past summer has been the best decision. We’re so thankful for this gym and the community they’ve built.

After almost 4 years at this gym, our recent experience was the final straw. My daughter had the skills to advance to team, she earned that placement (the owner said she didn’t even need the skills placement test), but we chose not to move her up because of concerns about the coach leading the team. Instead, she stayed on pre-team, which unfortunately declined in quality over a few months. What was once a strong, skill-building program started to feel more like a beginner recreational class. More recently, the owners told us she couldn’t move to team, even though they made exceptions for another pre-team athlete. When I brought up my concerns, they brushed them off, and when I followed up almost two months later, they claimed I hadn’t reached out soon enough. The inconsistency, lack of communication, and favoritism here are disappointing. This gym has become a waste of money and time, parents deserve honesty, structure, and coaches who truly support every athlete’s growth.

Our family has been part of this gym since my daughter was 6 years old, she’s now almost 10. Over those years, we’ve seen both the positives and the serious downsides that have ultimately led us to leave. I’m sharing this so other parents can make an informed decision. When we first started, my daughter joined the recreational program and absolutely loved gymnastics. Unfortunately, we had an early negative experience with one of the coaches, Stacy, who accused my 6-year-old of flipping her off, something I know my daughter didn’t even understand at that age. It was extremely upsetting and made her want to quit. We decided to stay because she truly loved the sport, and we hoped things would improve. At age 7, she moved into the pre-team program. Her first pre-team coach there was wonderful and really helped rebuild her confidence. Sadly, that coach left, and things declined again. The next coach, Melissa, consistently gave negative feedback to my daughter while loudly praising others, several parents noticed similar favoritism. The atmosphere became discouraging, and despite being told she could move up to team, we chose not to because that same coach led the team. Another major concern has been the leadership and communication at the gym. The owners have often reacted defensively to feedback and haven’t created an environment where concerns are genuinely heard. As a parent of a mixed-race child, I couldn’t ignore how my daughter was treated differently at times. When I spoke up, I was dismissed or met with indifference. After 3½ years of loyalty to this gym, we’ve made the decision to leave. It’s disappointing because Coach Jeff, one of the competitive coaches, was excellent, and we were hoping my daughter could train with him someday. But in the end, the lack of communication, favoritism, and unwillingness to listen to parents outweighed the positives. I would strongly encourage parents to do their research before committing here. If your child thrives in a positive, supportive environment, this may not be the best fit.
