Iron Cross Gymnastics — Local services in Richmond

Udate: My daughter has been on the competitive team since the gym started, so about 9 years. Through the many years the gym owners have been supportive and encouraging of the teams progress, and each individual child's progress. Their coaches John, Stephenie and Jeremy have a learning mindset, they are constantly learning and adjusting to fit the needs and mental challenges of each gymnast, and the needs of the teams as a whole. They are fully invested and committed in getting each gymnast on the team to their best. They have laughed, cried, and pushed their gymnasts to discover something great about themselves. My daughter wanted to try other gyms, and we went in search another gym, but within a month returned back to the sense of family and committed coaches and owners at Iron Cross.

Offers tumbling, recreational and a small competitive gymnastics program. Experienced gym owners who treat all kids with love and affection. Great new gym with huge spacious facilities, Front desk staff and coaches are always willing to work through issues with parents and children. Incredible tumbling camps and parents night out.

Posting an update: My daughter is on the competitive team, and we still have great experiences at Iron Cross. The coach team is very cohesive and management are problem solving. They interact with the parents very well, and immediately as soon as there are issues. This gym is very focused on your child's happiness and well being, as well as creating a love for gymnastics first! (That is what keeps them in this sport). A plethora of summer camps, tumbling clinics, Saturday clinics, and recreation classes...

My three-year-old daughter attends classes at Iron Cross Gym (ICG), and we also recently held her birthday party there. First, I'll start by reviewing her class. The staff members at ICG at professional, knowledgeable and so kind. I can say with certainty that I have never ran across a staff member that didn't go above and beyond to help with any questions or needs we may have. And, I have to give special recognition to Coach Gloria (my daughter's coach).....she's amazing! I can't say enough about how patient and attentive she is with the kiddos. It really takes a apical kind of person to work with the little ones and I can't think of anyone better. Not only does my daughter learn technique, but while in class she is also practicing following directions and manners.

Now the birthday party. Honestly, I don't know what I expected, but I didn't expect what we got from the staff. They took care of everything!! The party had about 25 kids, ages 2-5, and the staff somehow got them all in "order," and what I thought would be chaos was a well organized energetic class. The party hosts (ICG staff members) chatted with parents who had questions, encouraged kids to try some of the "exercises" if they were timid, served the food and cake, and even helped us load our car. I was so impressed!! We will definitely have another party at...

I just want to share how thankful we are for Iron Cross Gymnastics and Dance, especially during 2020 - which has been such a difficult year. We are so appreciative of everything y’all have done to give the kids a safe place to be active, have some socialization, and of course, have fun! In June, my 7-year-old returned to team practices, and it was the first place he had been besides home since March. We felt comfortable and secure sending him back after seeing how much care and attention was put into the re-opening plan. My 2-year-old enjoyed the zoom recreational classes over the summer and was thrilled to be back in the gym in August. Iron Cross has been a constant for them during an extremely chaotic time and we just want to say THANK YOU! To every coach or staff member who has stood out in the summer heat and taken temperatures or walked my son out in the dark after practice to ensure he is safe in the parking lot – THANK YOU! This has been a year of change and difference, and for my boys to walk in to Iron Cross and see the familiar smiling faces of the coaches and staff they’ve known for years, who all know them by name, has been...
