Great Lakes Gymnastics — Local services in Avon Lake

I have been going to Great Lakes gymnastics for 5 years now and it's fun and all, but lately conditioning has been getting very overwhelming and stressful. I know that they push us to be the best gymnast we can but one night after practice I went home and when I got home I literally felt like I was going to puke I couldn't feel any part of my body everything was just num, and my head was pounding. Don't get me wrong all of the staff and coaches are really nice but when you accidentally mess up on something that you've never messed up on before or forgot to do something you'll get screamed/yelled at by some of the coaches.

You’ll probably have a better experience if you’re sending your girls. If you have boys, I’d...

3 of my girls have gone to GLG for over 6 years. They offer great class options for all age and experience levels. I love that they also offer clinics, Summer camps, open gyms, and options for a rec team or more competitive team levels. The staff is always friendly and they respond quickly to emails or phone calls with any questions I have. My oldest daughter started league team about a year ago and I am amazed at how much she has learned and grown as an athlete and individual. I can’t say enough good things about her coaches. Coach Essence and Coach Sterling are brilliant. They have made such a positive impact on her and we are...
