Hill’s Gymnastics Training Center

The instructors are great here. The biggest, and only, issue so far is the seating. If you don’t get in here 30 minutes or more before your child’s scheduled class time you can forget it! We usually find a seat after about 10 minutes of waiting for the other parents to leave. It’s not so bad given that there are plenty of viewing windows in the waiting area. We just stand and stare until a seat opens up.
There is a microwave for our use which is great too. My kids are usually ready for a snack or dinner mid-​way through waiting for my daughter to finish up. We have the option of bringing dinner if we choose.
Since my daughter started (she’s 7) she has learned a back hand spring! She’s super excited about this as am I.
This place has smaller class sizes than other centers that we’ve checked out. My daughter gets more focused attention. We’ve been to Top Flight in Columbia, then tried Silver Stars in Silver Spring, Dynamite in Rockville, and now here we are at Hills. We plan to stay because it has proven to be the best instruction that my daughter has had this far. By the way… Dominique Dawes trained here (a few other olympians as well). This is a plus!

Great place can wait to start everyone can do anything if they try and believe in there selves

Overrated
We attended for over 3 years and have been there multiple times a week through out that time. 90% of the teachers do not have experience required. The more advanced ones (Gretchen is a great example) have no social skills and don’t know how to provide constructive criticism. The bathrooms are gross, there is not enough space and no refunds or make up classes. I do not recommend this location to children or advanced athletes.

My Girls had a good experience training wise, but I am concern about the instructors’ attitudes. They are pretty unprofessional in their manners and approaching to the parents. Staff are quite rigid and they don’t enjoy what are they doing. I would like my girls to obtain better attitude and manners from their instructions rather than only skills.

My daughter had a good and bad experience here. Mr. Willy was great as an instructor and very motivating and if this review were just about him, it would be five stars. Unfortunately, two substitutes for his class were both rude and inappropriate (not only to my child but to others). After I called regarding the substitute issue, I was told I would get a call back after it was investigated. I didn’t hear anything for over a week, so I decided to follow up. When I called back I was given a «that’s not what was meant or said» excuse for the inappropriate comments. It’s time to sign my child back up, but no thanks, I won’t be wasting my money on a place with lousy teachers, no accountability and poor customer service.

Just visited last sunday night for open gym with my 5yo. She had a blast. Very large gym with a lot of equipment; however, no supervision in the gym. We had never been there before so I had no idea how it all worked. A little on the pricey side to. I think it was $ 13 for two hours, but open gym starts at 530 so we left early to have dinner. Would be an excellent gym if more staff was there to guide the little ones.

Excellent facilities. Great staff. Good value for the money.
