This school is the real deal!! I recommend it to anyone at any age who wants a lil injection of fun. As an adult who... started literally knowing nothing about gymnastics, it has been a BLAST. Coach P. and Coach Don are the BEST and maintain the highest degree of professionalism (I can say as a former coach myself). Most importantly, they know how to make it FUN - for anyone from any walk of life. I will admit that before starting I was slightly skeptical about the vibe of gymnastics just because growing up I thought it was a girls' sport - WRONG! Highly recommended for everyone, especially athletes of other disciplines looking to level up their sport or anyone involved in board sports - trampoline/tumbling will probably become the next standard of cross training (like yoga did for everything). Bottom line: well worth the $, don't sleep on the academy!!!!!read more

USA Trampoline is - no joke - my oasis. I take the “Adult Gymnastics” class three days a week, and it is genuinely what... gets me through the week. I don’t know of any other facilities in the area that: 1. Offer a class like this; and, 2. Could even begin to compete with Coaches Penelope and Don.The two of them make everything so fun, they are beyond patient, and what I like is that they take the time to teach you how to do everything right. We learn by a stepped process instead of just throwing moves, so the progress I make, is the progress I maintain. The atmosphere they create is also unparalleled, we are all genuine friends that want to see each other succeed in class.I would give Penelope and Don 100 stars if I could! If you made it this far, you are obviously thinking about joining, and to that I say you MUST check them out! Hope to see you in class.read more

My daughter had a background in gymnastics and decided to switch to competitive trampoline. She has been so happy with... her decision, and always looks forward to practice. The coaches (Penelope and Don) have been fantastic. Not only do they have the background and knowledge to teach the skills, but they are really good people and treat the students very well. As a parent, it's been a lot of fun to watch and see my daughter improve and have fun. The best part about trampoline (for newcomers) is that kids and adults of ANY skill level can participate.read more

My daughter has had a wonderful experience at the gym! The coaches, Don and Penelope, have been so positive and... encouraging. It is a fun and family friendly atmosphere! They are flexible and easy to approach with any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend this for all ages. Then the pandemic hit and I still can’t say enough about this place! The coaches have been understanding, flexible and diligent with communicating the new policies, reopening and the cleaning process! My daughter and I are excited to get back to the gym. Yes, me too! I have been taking an adult class and it has been nothing but fun, exciting and no judgement for trying something that is not in my comfort zone.read more

Great program with lots of time slots, focus on disciplines, energetic coaching, & safe environment. Kids have been... there for a year and a half and hate the idea of missing a single class. A+read more

Coach Penelope and Coach Don are knowledgeable, fun, and safety-minded. They are patient to support each child in... reaching his individual potential in the sport through incremental skill-building, always stressing the importance of proper form and increasing strength and flexibility. My 3 kids have been in podium training since September, and absolutely love going several days every week. I highly recommend USA Trampoline Academy!read more
