Gymnastics Learning Center: Shrewsbury
- I went to GLC for 7 years of my gymnastics career. They have wonderful recreational classes and team with lots of upbeat coaches that put a ton of effort into making gymnastics a great experience for all the kids. The coaches encouraged me to be the best I could be. All the girls there have fun working hard and achieving their goals! I highly recommend Gymnastics Learning Center. http://www.gymnasticslearningcenter.com/

Planet Gymnastics: Acton, MA
- Planet Gymnastics focuses on the WHOLE gymnast. If you want a well-rounded, age, level, AND developmentally appropriate gymnastics track for your gymnast, PG is the place!! My children, ages 10 and 12 have attended Planet Gymnastics since they could do a forward roll. Both girls compete in USAG and IGC teams and have achieved a high level of gymnastics. Their coach, Bill Kane, has nurtured each individually and focuses on the strengths of each gymnast. This year, Bill supported and coached my older gymnast to success in USAG Level 7, and as a result she placed 1st in the AAU National Meet this past June. In the fall, she and her teammates will compete for USAG at Level 8 and IGC Gold; a noteworthy achievement for 12 and 13 year olds. The coaching staff at PG is well trained and sensitive to the developmental needs of the whole child. They encourage gymnasts to make smart choices and support their changing physical and emotional needs. http://planet-gymnastics.net/

Planet Gymnastics: Acton, MA
- I have two daughters (8, 13) and a son (11), and my kids love coming here. It’s a very fun and welcoming environment. My youngest daughter is in their rec class while my oldest is on one of the teams. You can tell the coaches love what they do and enjoy being there. My son has a blast every time he goes to class. He always leaves with a huge smile on his face. I got an e-mail the other day and it said they are now doing adult gymnastics classes, zumba, and Pilates classes for adults -- it gives me something to do since I'm there a lot.Their birthday parties are awesome, too. My youngest had her 8th birthday there last year and she was exhausted after. The parties are very organized and they did an amazing job setting up all the decorations I had packed. I would highly recommend this gym for anyone!

Yellow Jackets: Middleton, MA
- My daughter went to Yellow Jackets as a class (recreational) gymnast. The gym is really nice and big, with great equipment. Though my daughter was not on the team, the team program also seemed very strong, with lots of great gymnasts. Overall, I would recommend this gym highly. My daughter really liked her coaches too. http://www.yellowjacketsgym.org/
