MGA Gymnastics Bowie

★★★★★Ang

MGA is a very active and busy gym, and we’ve been fortunate to have consistently positive experiences there. My child absolutely loves lessons with Coach Anthony—he is kind, patient, detail-oriented, and incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to teaching proper fundamentals and technique. My child has also had great experiences with Coach Alexis, Coach C, and several of the coaches who occasionally fill in—they all contribute to a supportive and engaging environment. Two area for potential improvement would be the parent waiting area, which can become quite crowded at times. A refresh or expansion of that space would make the overall experience even better. I also think it would be beneficial to have a check-in system where parents/children can scan a badge as they walk in for attendance.

My daughter started here a little over a year ago, at the time could only do a cart wheel and has just LEVELED UP since being with this gym. They are very attentive always answers your calls or messages right away, easy payment options and not super expensive, convenient location, and very nice staff dedicated to helping your child shine. A special shout out to all cheer coaches and coach anthony they have been there every step of the way for my girl. Would give ten stars if I could we LOVE MGA!!!

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. I arrived 15 minutes late for a free trial class and had called several times to confirm whether we could still attend, but no one answered the phone. When I arrived, there were two people at the front desk, which made the lack of response frustrating. Once inside, the class felt unorganized. The preschool teacher seemed to focus only on the regular students and barely acknowledged my child. Lastly, the waiting area was crowded with people who didn’t appear to be staff or participants—more like entire families (entire households and extended cousins, aunties, and uncles) accompanying one child. It made the environment feel chaotic and unprofessional.

I love MGA! My daughter Jessie attended here for a year. She had no experience but LOVES gymnastics. She began in pink. Coach Michelle noticed her skills and invited her to Pink plus where she began to advance and placed 1st place in 2 in house competitions. She was promoted to Bronze after that. Where she learned more challenging skills. Coach Michelle recommended we consider competitive gymnastics. Which lets me know MGA is not money driven. They genuinely care about the gymnasts and are invested in their growth and development. I did as she suggested and took my daughters to another gym to try out for their pre competitive team. The coaches were impressed and she was invited to join their level 3 team! My daughter just completed her first year in competitive gymnastics and she did amazing! Placing in every competition and bringing home 2 medals at states. She has been promoted to level 4. I say all this to say, MGA is huge reason for her success. They build fundamental skills and foster growth. I highly recommend MGA if you have a beginner. MGA is the place to go!

Next month will make it one year since we’ve been a part of the MGA family. My daughters came in with no experience and are now more confident working on each skill. I love the fact that you get to see and interact with the owners often. They are very involved and will even take over teaching if they are short on staff. Speaking of the staff, I love the coaches. They’re firm but so patient with the kids. I particularly appreciated this because my youngest daughter struggles with staying with her classes and being focused. I love all the ladies who have had a chance to teach my girls, ESPECIALLY Coach Michelle. When it’s really high enrollment, get ready for a full spectator section and challenging class transitions as everyone tries to navigate space.
