Wildfire Gymnastics

Great facility. My little one is getting a workout and that was my goal. She loves her coach.

So, we signed up our 7-year-old daughter at Wildfire Gymnastics, and while she loves gymnastics and has tons of potential, I’m feeling a bit disappointed. The coaches seem to be more focused on chatting and gossiping with each other instead of engaging with the kids. It really feels like they aren’t putting in the effort to help them grow and improve. We decided to trial another academy, and they were quick to recognize our daughter’s abilities, moving her up two levels right away! If you're looking for a place where your kid can just hang out for 90 minutes without much expectation, go ahead and register here. But if you want them challenged and supported on their gymnastics journey, you might want to look elsewhere.

This review is only for absence of progress updates and structured assessments. My daughter was eager to learn gymnastics, so my wife signed her up for the weekly class at Wildfire Gymnastics in Lake Forest. Initially, it was great with a lot of kids and a well-equipped facility. However, after five months, we decided to drop the class due to a lack of progress updates and inconsistent coaching. Each time the coach changed, my daughter had to start over, which led to boredom from repetitive tasks every week. Taekwondo classes have belt testing days to assess levels. Ice skating classes have 10-week programs to assess skills. My kids can prepare what they have learned. Surprisingly, Wildfire Gymnastics lacked a structured approach. When I asked the reception desk about moving our daughter from Level 1 to Level 2, they mentioned it depends on the coach, revealing a lack of standard assessment and testing days. Additionally, it seems there may be a shortage of coaches, which could be causing intentional delays in moving members to different levels. Advice to Management: Wildfire Gymnastics should consider implementing X-week programs for different levels, with clear training goals and designated testing days, instead of letting parents waste money on something unexpected. It can better serve their students and parents.

My 3 & 6 year olds love going to the camps at this location. More recently, I was super duper impressed and thankful on how they made our daughters birthday party a huge success for all guests. 3 girls (Kate, Stephanie, & ??) we're on site watching over roughly 30 kids. & they were on it from all angles from beginning to the end. They made themselves present upfront & offered to set up. They were great with the kids whether it came to corralling them for a game, even getting them to look at the camera for a picture. Finally, they were fantastic about cleaning utensils & getting things out the door while others oversaw the guests & helped them with the equipment. Our expectations were beyond exceeded!

My daughter has been taking gymnastics here for 3 years and has improved so much and LOVES it. This year she wanted her party here and it was great! Organized, professional staff took care of everything. They didn't just supervise, they organized games and activities with the kids. The kids had a great time! Everything was very clean and ready for us when we arrived, they let you bring in your own food. The staff served the kids, and cleaned up and were really friendly. I highly recommend having a party here!
