We have attended diamond gymnastics since my daughter was a baby we started with the mommy and me classes! Miss Jasmine is the besssssssst, I seriously wish she did birthday parties and taught more classes for bigger kids! Miss Elizabeth was very kind and great with the younger ones as well! We did move up to the older class... Where we had Miss. Makayla, after that..we did take a break has my daughter really wanted to try a dance class in town and sports!
I highly recommend having birthday parties there because it's extremely reasonable and the kids all love it no matter what age range. If you pay a little extra you can get a bounce house and a blow up slide totally worth it!
My only critique would be that I wished put the older classes together based upon skill not just age group. Part of the reason we left besides my daughter wanting to try something new was that I felt like she was not prepared enough for the next level, even though she had taken all the younger classes since she was a baby and up. A lot of the lower level (under 5) classes are more like obstacle course and running around, some bouncings some tumbles and a little bit of the basics! The next level class she was in (5-6 year olds, all girls) had a couple girls who knew the basics like my daughter and then the rest of them were all very skilled ( that came from other places or the other diamond in cedar grove). For example: my daughter was never taught to flips on the bar, but was expected to do it like two classes into the session. However, when my daughter was nervous or upset, the teacher did her best to reassure her/help, or offered other options nearby to try which was appreciated!!!
Safety wise, I feel like the place is clean and kept up with maintenance wise! I've heard great things about their summer camp, though we've never experienced it ourselves (but would consider when my daughter is older).
I will say... I've read recent reviews that said people were treated differently or had difficulty because their English was not so good. This is a professional sports facility where they are providing you instructions on how to do movements/physical gymnastics in the safest way...if you can't understand them then maybe it's not an appropriate time for you/or child to...

She approached the trainer, but the trainer completely ignored herâsomething I immediately pointed out, but was reassured it would be handled.
Despite her being new to gymnastics and it being her very first class, the trainer asked her to perform advanced moves like front rolls, back rolls, handstands, and back bridges. Predictably, she ended up with a severe back sprain and had to leave the class midway.
What was even more concerning was the complete lack of careâno one checked on her or even asked what had happened. At this point, I'm trying to get a doctorâs appointment for her, and if that's not possible, Iâll have to take her to the ER.
This has been a terrible experience. If I could give a zero-star rating, I would. My daughter will not be returning, and I strongly advise others to think twice before...

The classes are fun, engaging, and have helped him grow in confidence, coordination, and strength. His favorite part has definitely been his amazing teacher, Yasmin, who brings so much energy and care to each class. We've been lucky to have her for multiple sessions!
I recently signed my daughter up for the fall session now that she's 15 months and we canât wait for her to start her own Diamond journey!
When it came time to plan birthday parties, there was no question- we had my son's 2nd and 3rd birthdays at Diamond and both were a huge hit. The staff made everything run so smoothly, and our guests couldnât stop raving about how much fun they had.
If you're looking for classes, birthday parties, or camps, diamond gymnastics is...
