Vargas Academy of Gymnastic Arts — Local services in Scotts Valley

My daughter has been taking gymnastics with Coach Josh at Vargas Academy for over two years, and we couldn’t be happier. He’s incredibly caring, kind, and patient with all the kids. You can tell he truly loves what he does. He makes every class fun while still teaching great skills and technique.

Recently, my daughter moved up to Level 1 and felt a little nervous about being with older kids. Coach Josh took the time to talk to her, reassure her, and make her feel calm and capable. After that, she was smiling again and couldn’t wait to go back to class.

He always makes the girls laugh, keeps the energy positive, and creates an environment where kids feel comfortable and confident. It’s exactly how a coach should make a child feel: supported, encouraged, and proud of themselves.

Also, Stephany, who is in the administration, is always so helpful and kind. She’s super nice and always makes everything easy for parents.

We’re so grateful for everything they do and for how much they’ve helped my daughter grow and...

Both of my girls have been going to Vargas for over a year now and when we started, gymnastics was a new sport for our family. We’ve been so grateful for the incredible and supportive environment Vargas has created for them to learn and grow.

Josh, in particular, was a wonderful advocate and source of encouragement for my younger daughter when she felt a bit discouraged in the beginning. Lilly and Vern have also been amazing in continuing to build her confidence. Josh has been a fantastic, thoughtful, and engaging coach for my older daughter as well, challenging her in the best ways and motivating her in a way that truly boosts her self-belief.

All of the coaches and staff at Vargas have been consistently supportive, respectful, communicative, and helpful. We’re so grateful to have Vargas in our local community! We love Vargas, their coaches, and their...

Our family truly loves Vargas Gymnastics! All three of my children have taken classes here, and my 12-year-old daughter has been on the competitive team for the past five years. She has learned so much and has continued to build her skills and confidence year after year. Being part of the competitive team has been such a great experience—we love traveling with our gym family and watching the athletes show off all their hard work. We love how encouraging and supportive the athletes are of one another.

We absolutely love Vern, the owner and competitive team coach. He does an incredible job motivating and pushing the gymnasts. The entire coaching staff is amazing, all very kind and well-trained. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and equipped with quality equipment.

Vargas Gymnastics is the best—highly recommend it...
