Coach Shaun is amazing. This is our second year training our daughters with him. Great with beginner, intermediate, and advanced athletics. Understands how to create athletes. We work with him in the off season sports to stay warm and work with him in the upcoming seasons. Great staff and it’s warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Go see Coach Shaun!

A military family who recently moved to area. I made multiple attempts to schedule a trial with Coach Cherae and received two emails finally acknowledging receipt of an email in June that was sent in January and letting me know she’d get with me the following day after talking to the level coach. I never heard anything, I was disappointed because being a military child is hard and having some sort of familiarity such as gymnastics helps that much more with the move. I have sent multiple follow up emails with zero response. Molly was extremely helpful but then I received zero responses from her as well. I inquired about this gym last year with Molly and heard nothing but great things, even convinced my daughter to give the gym in the new area a try for her to continuously ask me when she’d start gymnastics for me to finally tell her, the Director never got back with me for a trial. At this point my daughter has been out of gym for two months and I have finally scheduled a trial at another gym. Very welcoming, kind and I didn’t have to beg for over seven months to be ghosted. I’m sure it’s a great program, which is why I wanted my daughter to go, I saw the way Cherae poured into the girls and I wanted my daughter to have that experience. Everything happens for a reason and I hope the next military family that PCS’ is treated a lot better.

The staff is wonderful in developing children in this sport. My sons participate in their Ninja program and love the blend of gymnastics and martial arts. There are waiting areas with monitors and a few tables to watch your kid and squeeze in a little work if need be. Highly recommend Thrive for anyone looking into tumbling, gymnastics, or a ninja program.

★★★★Lyn Johnson

Brand new, nice, clean facility. State of the art equipment. Pleasant, experienced instructors. Everything you would want for your child's gymnastics experience. Always completely filled up though. Not enough classes offered and not enough open gyms. They desperately need to open another facility. I was lucky to get my one child in. I could not get my second child in. Been waiting for months. Also, wish they offered something for special needs children.
