Stars Gymnastics, Tampa FL

I didn't have a good experience. Booked for a trial class for my 3 year old. The person I spoke with was very informative and we were excited. We went early on a Saturday morning and there was no one at the reception desk. Which was okay because the students got an adult for me. There weren't any students there her age so the person asked if she wanted to warm up with the older students. Which was kind of awkward because my child didn't have a clue of what she was doing. I pulled her to the side and we watched the older girls warm up. They were great! And the male Coach seemed very knowledgeable. About 20 MIN later another male showed up and asked my daughter if she wanted to warm up. By then she was over it and in shut down mode. We ended up leaving. This seems like a great gym for older students or maybe younger ones. But I don't think they are really concerned about gaining new clients. UPDATE: we came back now that she is older. It's unfortunate that we didn't have the same experience that we are having now. Because she is years behind her age group. But, the coaches are very patient and helpful. I think it pays to come during a weekday.

Hello! I am one of the students at stars. I see that so many people think lowly of this place and I want to tell you about my experience. Ever since I was 6 years old, the awesome coaches with great skill, drive, and experience push us to work hard and stretch our muscles out. They might not act like it, but they welcome new kids to the group with open arms and they always teach them what to do if they’re unaware. The AC there doesn’t work, but the reason you sweat is because of the workout and they have fans everywhere in the building (including the parent seating area). I’m so glad that my dad enrolled me here

I hope you give this place a try!

I have been bringing my daughter here for three months- she does one day a week.

I spoke to someone in the building about pausing my daughter for one month, and the best way to go about it. It was the first week of June, so we would skip the first week of July and start back up then.

Upon arriving, I pay for my next three months and I’m told I have to pay a drop in fee for the first week of June. I feel frustrated because we spoke about the best way to go about this prior and now after it’s over, I owe additional money.

I am frustrated and felt backed into a corner. I know the drop in fee isn’t much- but it makes the overall experience of starz gymnastics that much worse.

The AC in this building never works, they claim that they are short staffed (when I asked how come they don’t correct my little when she does handstands incorrectly etc), and the sitting area is usually crowded anyways.

Was a little hesitant to give this place a shot due to some of the bad reviews but I’m glad I went in. Yes admittedly they don’t have a receptionist or sales person on the floor (as someone pointed below) but in good reason, because they are all coaches staffed and are all attending the kids and giving them all their full paid for session time. The kids are the stars of the show and parents are rarely addressed unless coaches would like the kids to work on something at home & honestly I feel that dynamic is perfect. It empowers the child. They also don’t have much time to chat with families because the classes are typically back to back and as mentioned they teach from start to finish. Coaches are friendly & make every child from beginner to expert feel included. They are very affordable. I was almost shocked at how affordable given the talent and techniques taught. I registered two of my children and they’ve been attending for a month now. They love it, are learning, thriving, and we are pleased. I say go in with an open mind. Be proactive in your questions, understand they are a busy facility that wants to threat their kids as priority, and let your child thrive and you’ll enjoy it.

My daughter just joined it is super Affordable staff attentive and caring, diverse they have cute little outfits that u can purchase their on my daughters first day they already had her out on the beam and they gave us a free first day trial to see if she likes it.thank you

My daughter started in August 2020 and absolutely loves going to gymnastics. Her Coach Patty is awesome and encouraging. Highly recommend.

I was so excited to take my daughter in for a trial class. We get there, I sign a waiver and she's off to join in. I understand there isn't a lot of time for conversation but no one said a word to me after the class. No one asked my daughter did she enjoy it or anything. She never attended gymnastics class before so I didn't know what to expect. But common courtesy and human interaction is expected at any time when you're trusting someone to help your child. No one asked was I coming back. I had to ask for the registration info but something in me said don't pay. Then I read these reviews and I see that they just don't seem to care about earning new clients or treating people equally. I'll take my daughter to a place that they're actually excited to have her and interested in her actually learning what gymnastics entails. I even called back to inquire if the classes were usually like that and all I got in return was "we will repeat a lot of things. " Okay, I get it. You clearly didn't care if we came back. Good luck with that demeanor in today's world. Things are closing down by the minute.

I have worked at many gyms and I truly love Stars gymnastics. They create a fun learning environment for both their competitive and recreational program. I highly recommend for anyone who is interested in learning the art of gymnastics!

Great gym. Daughter loves it. People are very nice. Could use better parent seating but that's hardly a down point.
