Jump'In Gymnastics & Tumbling — Attraction in Hattiesburg

Unfortunately, we had a terrible experience that left my five-year-old in tears. It was his first time. I had called ahead to make sure they were aware of his hearing impairment. They called for his class and when he walked into the gym the coach simply pointed. There was no introduction, nothing. He's 5 and had never done this. He saw kids tumbling on the mats and ran over to tumble too. He really wasn't in anyone's way but instead of trying to talk to him and find out where he was supposed to be, a different coach just made him leave and go back to the waiting room. A really wonderful mom saw and offered to take him in and talk to the coach about his hearing (I'm in a wheelchair) and she did, but less than two minutes later he was frustrated because he still had no clue what was going on (nobody talked to him at all) and was escorted out. The coach didn't make an effort to tell him who he was and just expected a 5-year-old who has never done this to hop in line and wait for instructions from someone who didn't even greet him. We left and my son told me "They just didn't want me". No child should ever be made to feel that way. When you work with children you should make an effort to meet them where they are. That's a month worth of lessons that I paid for and while they cancelled so it doesn't renew, I don't expect I'll see a refund despite him literally being in there all but 5 minutes before he was kicked out twice. It's your loss, because he is an awesome kid who would've respected and loved you had someone taken the time to show him 30 seconds of respect. I also wonder why you would kick a five-year-old out and make them go into a waiting room filled with other people and not even attempt to...

Both of my daughters have attended various camps and after school care with Coach K. She does everything possible to challenge them and encourage them academically, creatively and phyically. Both of my girls enjoy the craft times, treat days, swim days, and field trips. She puts alot of thought into the lessons and trips to make sure we get the best value while trying to get our kids the best experiences. My daughters love when I dislay their favorite crafts they make. We appreciate it. Ms. Sandy and the front desk staff communicate so much to help keep us up to date on our class schedules with alerts on Facebook and emails. Coach Alex is my daughter's Bestie, and the cheer program has given her so much support and growth. The various times my daughter has done makeup classes with Coach Derrick, Coach Theo, Coach Elijah, they have been patient with her abundance of energy and she has had good experiences. As a student on the competitive gymnastics team, my oldest daughter has found that each coach brings a dynamic that contributes to her learning many sport and life lessons. Overall, The staff strive for excellence in cleanliness, safety, education, and positive growth ✨️ The picture by the door is art we love from the Hattiesburg Pocket museum. It is one if my favorites and I added it here because I know that is what my girls are learning...

There are 3 coaches that I think are 5 star coaches!

• First, Coach Alex Kapaun was my daughters first coach in 2020. She taught her so much and gave her a solid foundation of what gymnastics is all about! She was also very kind, patient, and encouraging during her time with her. My daughter is now so excited to have Alex as her coach again when she starts cheer in the fall! *Second, is Coach Tristian. She has been amazing with my daughter this past year. She has helped her reach her goals and her gymnastic skills have improved greatly because of Coach T.! My daughter looks forward to gymnastics every week and is excited to continue having Coach T this summer!
• Third, is Coach Kala. She was over Homeschool Open Gym when we first started coming. Kala has a way of building relationships with the kids and parents. Although she is no longer over Open Gym, she always finds time to come and speak to me...
