JAG Gymnastics — Local services in Andover

If you would have asked me a year and half ago I would have absolutely recommended this program. The kids had a teacher that they connected with and loved going to gymnastics. After the teacher moved away it has been a constant rotation of teachers. You can imagine how that goes for a group of toddlers. After talking with the director about 6 months ago we were told moving forward that the teacher would remain the same. This was not the case. The director would come in the middle of class and kick the kids out of the class if the had a parent with them, or crying, etc. Several parents pulled their kids out. We decided to stick it out and hope it got better. Again not the case. My kids were terrified to go to gymnastics. Not once did anyone try to work with them to improve behavior or explain what they should be doing or even to build a relationship with them. They resulted to kicking them out of class. Then the last class of the month a comment was made prior to class even starting about being goofy would get you kicked out of class. This upset my toddler who ended up leaving class. We stayed after and met with the teacher. I explained my frustration with her. She sat down and talked to my daughter and made a plan moving forward. Later that night I receive an email that due to my child running out of the room everytime she is asked to do something that my kids are not welcomed back effective the end of month. 1. The glass that seperates the class and the lobby is thin and we can hear when they are threatened to be kicked out of class or when they are kicked out of class. 2.The first time you express any concern is in an email that you are ending the enrollment. 3. I was in the facility 3 hours prior and not once did anyone say anything to me in person. Instead they waited until we had completed our last class for the month and they were closed for the day to send an email. The communication within this organization is lacking and what you do get is unprofessional. If you want your child to feel bullied by adults than this might be a perfect fit for you. These are not the type of role models that I want my kids...

If you are looking for a gymnastics club in the Wichita area, I highly recommend JAG. There are many things we appreciate about JAG. First and foremost, they care about the gymnast’s physical and mental health. We have personally witnessed their coaching style get athletes through any mental block stages with grace. Not forcing the skills and putting the athlete in harms way just to get the skill for the meet season. They also understand that gymnastics is for all girls, and they specifically leverage both XCEL and DP programs for each gymnast to maximize their individual success. Ensuring success isn’t always about the scores and results, but focusing on the gymnast’s performance and small individual goals that are set. We are also pleased with the sisterhood and friendships that are made. Over the years we have seen gymnasts come from other gyms and have immediately been accepted as one of their own, which is always encouraging to see.

Now on the competitive side. The owners and coaches are great. They know what it takes to win. They are very professional and serious when it comes to the image of JAG. The routines that are created for each gymnast are amazing and can compete with the best clubs in the country. The coaches are very experienced and some who have competed at the college-level.

The last thing I want to mention, which has been my favorite thing about JAG. Is they are constantly challenging the gymnast who are ready to pick up new skills. If your gymnast is talented and makes gymnastics look easy. They will continue to coach new skills and advance the gymnast to where they are competing at the highest...

I can’t say enough wonderful things about JAG Gymnastics and the incredible impact they’ve had on my daughter’s confidence and self-esteem. From the moment we walked through their doors, the coaches welcomed her with open arms and a genuine belief in her potential.

Over time, I’ve watched her grow not just in her gymnastics skills, but in how she carries herself in everyday life. The supportive and encouraging environment at JAG has helped her realize what she’s capable of physically, and that strength has truly translated into how she sees herself as a person. She now holds her head a little higher, walks a little taller, and believes in herself more than ever before.

The coaches are so much more than instructors. They are mentors, role models, and confidence builders. They celebrate progress, big and small, and make each gymnast feel valued and empowered. My daughter always leaves the gym smiling, proud of what she’s accomplished, and eager to take on the next challenge.

Thank you, JAG, for helping my daughter find her strength not just in gymnastics, but...
