Metzler's Gymnastics

My daughters have been at Metzler's since my oldest was 2 years old (now in college)! It's always been their 2nd home! ❤️

Metzler’s is a great local family-run place! My kids love coming here and they are learning a lot in a very low-pressure, fun environment. I appreciate the encouragement and reinforcement they give the kids. We’ve also had a gymnastics party here for my daughter and she was thrilled with the experience! They were gracious about letting us arrange and decorate the party room how we wanted and my daughter felt so special—especially when she got a picture on the podium and a trophy!

My daughter has been with Metzlers for about a year, and we love it. In my opinion, they do a great job of teaching safety and technique without leaving kids afraid to try new and challenging things. Everyone is always incredibly friendly and my daughter likes that the advanced athletes help coach her. It has been a great confidence booster for her and has given her a real love for gymnastics.

We attended the latest parent night out event Saturday at Metzler’s Gym in Downingtown and were extremely disappointed in the lack of security, staff and safety instruction available. Not a single staff member greeted us when we returned to collect our children, and so I walked right in to the gym and had to collect my own children and walked right out with any regard to security measures that I would have expected would be in place. No id check, no signing out procedure; nothing. I also could not find any staff who could assist me with seeking for my children. This was the case for at least half a dozen other parents who were collecting their children at the same time. The lack of security was very concerning. I witnessed children running and jumping head first into a foam pit, doing forward flips from springboards and trampolines, and swinging and climbing ropes without anyone advising them on safety measures. When we sign a waiver of liability, the expectation is that the organization will advise those children as to what appropriate measures of play are and not to leave it in the hands of the children to make those decisions. On top of that, the foam pit was filthy and terribly worn. There were bits and pieces of foam in my child's hair. They foam was literally disintegrating! I will not ever return to Metzler’s Gym again!

I was disappointed with the teaching style, which did not seem geared towards younger shy children. I was also concerned with the air quality in the gym, chalk hangs heavy in the air and I never saw the ventilation system being run. I recommend asking for a complete tour (at the time of day when your child will have class) to judge things for yourself; ask about supervision and spotting policies.
