Fusion Gymnastics — Attraction in Brownsburg

Let’s start with the positives... our son absolutely enjoyed his boys class. It was one of his favorite activities to go to and the gym/facility is very nice and quite impressive. BUT the positives end there. Our main issue with this place is the on-going lack of oversight and lack of proper instruction with the little kids. Our son started here when he was 4yo and was there for about 6 months. The little kids classes are taught by what looks to be high school kids, and it doesn’t seem like they have much experience in wrangling a bunch of tiny children. In addition to that the teaching of basic fundamentals to keep the children safe on the equipment is non-existent. We did address the lack of oversight and safety concerns with management, and we did receive a very kind response, but honestly it was nothing but lip service because nothing ever changed. I always try to keep my criticisms in check when I review a local business, but some of the other parents that I spoke to during the class all had the same concerns. Eventually, we stopped going to Fusion and signed our son up at another westside gymnastics gym. We are so much happier there because he’s actually learning fundamentals and focus. At Fusion, the kids mostly run wild and spend half of the class jumping in the pit or on the trampolines... that always bugged me because it was like they didn’t care to take the little kids classes seriously. There was absolutely no class planning on the instructors part. I mean, my son got an hours worth of exercise during his class, but absolutely no instruction. This is evident now that he’s in an actual teaching gym because he’s very far behind in his skill level compared to the other kids in his class. It just seems like the little kids programs at Fusion are simply a way for the gym to make extra money because it’s clear from our experience that there is no interest in teaching the kids any type of real tumbling or...

In short, it’s worth doing it for our kids if only because there is no alternative. The facility is really good, and the instructors for the most part do quality work considering the teacher to kid ratio is a a bit challenging. (Don’t let the fact that they are teens scare you away) About 10/1 or so. The activities are excellent at helping my children develop valence, flexibility and coordination. My kids are young so I can only speak to the “tumbling” class experience.

I have witnesses the owner being disrespectful in the way she communicates with parents who are essentially trying to help their kids deal with an intimidating environment. Strict rules are always an operational requirement in such activities but her behavior has been rude, dismissive and condescending. Her treatment of the parents of the younger kids is frankly without empathy. Luckily most of the time she has her hands full with what appears to be a well run and successful adolescent gymnastics program, and for what it is worth those kids seem to really like...

We LOVE Fusion Gymnastics! Our daughter started in rec classes (for multiple years), where the instructors taught the basics, but also allowed the students to have the flexibility to explore gymnastics movements on their own and interact with peers in a supervised setting. Our daughter has now been on the Fusion Team for several years. The team environment supports the gymnasts in both their gymnastics goals and their goals outside of the gym with academics, family, and friends, which results in a well rounded gymnast who views themselves as valuable inside the gym and out in the community. Team training challenges each athlete at their individual level, and practice almost also always includes a fun light hearted element (i.e. board games paired with strength training or skill building activities). Gymnasts are encouraged to foster friendships with their teammates and this results in a highly successful gym environment both at practice and at...
