Cal Gymnastics Club

My daughter has been going to golden bear gymnastics for over 3 years, including Rec and competitive. It has been a great experience all around but especially during covid.The dedicated coaches spend a tremendous amount of time and energy to teach the kids gymnastics skills and to make healthy choices. Communications are thorough and prompt, especially during Covid when life was unpredictable and changing so often . It’s a great community. The only challenge is traffic and parking, which is eased by carpooling and by coach assisted drive by drop-off. My daughter has especially enjoyed summer camp, as it was a great way to bond with her team. Cal Gymnastics has helped to build self confidence, physical coordination and team spirit. Looking forward to the upcoming competitive season.

My daughter has been going to golden bear gymnastics for over 3 years, including Rec and competitive. I’ve got nothing but high praises for these dedicated coaches who spend time and energy into making it a positive experience. Communications are thorough and prompt, a great bonus for busy parents. It’s a great community. The only practical challenge is traffic and parking, which is eased by carpooling. My daughter has enjoyed many of the events such as the summer camp and occasional evening training/social nights. It’s helped to build self confidence, organization skills and team spirit. As a Cal alum, it’s great to be supporting Golden Bear!

Just to be clear: this is a review of Golden Bear Gymnastics, a recreational and competitive program for kids 18mo-18y. There are a lot of things going on in this building that I am not reviewing, including: a pool, a snack bar, and the listed Cal Gymnastics Club (a program for 17+). My daughter has been going to Golden Bear for a few years now and has really enjoyed it. The coaches have been great. Sometimes they switch around a bit in the recreational classes, but we've been to other gyms in the area and it's no more than we experienced at those gyms. I really appreciated how supportive and encouraging her coaches have been -- they seem to "get" her and are able to help her grow and gain a lot of confidence (and, of course, some pretty awesome gymnastics skills!). As others have explained, there are recreational classes (ie. classes you sign up for on a monthly basis) and there are competitive teams. My daughter took classes here on and off for several years before really committing to gymnastics and trying out for the team. Now she's on the XCEL team (the less intense competitive track), which is a great fit for her and our family (great coaches, plenty of time in the gym, but time to be a kid, too).
