Planet Gymnastics

★★★★★Kyle Watters

Absolutely love Planet Gymnastics. My kids have been coming here for years, from Tiny Tumblers (parents with your little littles) to Gym Stars and Ninja classes. The coaches are great (especially Megan!) and the classes really help with balance and gross motor dexterity. As well as getting some energy out of my kids!

As a parent of a child on the autism spectrum, I want to share our experience at Planet Gymnastics so other families are aware. Before enrolling my child in their Ninja class, I called ahead and was completely transparent that my child is autistic. I specifically asked if that would be an issue and if he would be welcome in the class. I was reassured that he absolutely would be. We attended a trial class and my child had a great time. Like many beginners trying something new, he needed help learning the technical movements, but he listened, followed directions, and tried hard. After the class, I spoke directly with the instructor and asked very clearly if my child would be a good fit before enrolling. I was told yes -- that he listened well and simply needed help with some of the technical skills. Then before the next class, I received a phone call from Planet Gymnastics saying they wanted my child to complete another "trial" specifically because he is autistic to make sure he was a good fit. This was surprising and upsetting since we had already discussed his diagnosis and he had already been approved for the class. We still attended the next class. There were only three students in the class, and like many beginners, my child needed the instructor to demonstrate the movements and guide him through them. He participated appropriately and tried his best. After the class, the instructor told me he had "misspoken" the week before and that my child required too much attention. I was then told my child might be a "safety concern," even though he demonstrated no unsafe behavior during either class. The only alternative they offered was a class for children with disabilities at 3:00 PM -- the exact time my child gets out of school, making it impossible for him to attend. What was most concerning was how quickly my child was singled out because of his autism after I had already been open about it from the very beginning. Instead of evaluating him as a beginner learning a new activity, it felt like assumptions were made based on his diagnosis. My child followed directions, tried hard, and simply needed help learning the skills -- which is exactly what instructors are there to teach. Children with autism deserve the same opportunities to participate in community activities alongside their peers. Families should not be told their child is welcome, encouraged to enroll, and then later treated differently because of a diagnosis that was disclosed from the start. I hope Planet Gymnastics reflects on how this situation was handled and works toward better understanding and inclusion for neurodivergent children and their families.

Place is wonderful to enroll kids in the foam pit looks like the favorite in their Ninja corner. Place is little tricky to get in and barely any parking but overall a great place

We have had an amazing experience. I signed up my younger daughter to kill time while waiting for my older daughter. My younger daughter has since fallen in love with tumbling. Coach Jillian is so patient and encouraging and my younger daughter has a new found confidence and keeps learning new skills. She wants to sign up for as many classes as possible. We are so appreciative!

This gym is the best! It’s been a great environment for my son to get his energy out and socialize with other kids. He’s currently in the tiny tumblers class and loves it! He asks to go on the trampolines all the time now. Coach Ellie has been so kind and welcoming. Never had a bad experience with the staff. The candy machines are a nice touch. My son looks forward to earning a special treat after class.
