Tumblebees Ultimate Gym

After having a disappointing experience with The Little Gym of Greensboro (more info at (.com) getfitfabmom), my family and I started looking for a new place to call home. I turned to social media to ensure that all the bases were covered when it came to finding another location for our children to attend. The most highly recommended gymnastics facility was Tumblebees. We set up a trial class and were ready to go.
Our New Home: Tumblebee’s Ultimate Gym
How the Staff Made Us Feel: As I entered the facility I was impressed by the warm greetings that the staff members issued to me and my family. Their warm smiles really made us feel welcome. The front receptionist even called out my children’s new instructors to meet with them personally before class even started. The instructors introduced themselves warmly and made my children feel at home.
The Accommodations: The sheer size of the place is pretty impressive especially compared to other kid’s gym’s we’ve visited prior. It’s rec room gym stretches 19,000 square feet, and its team training center is even bigger. In the background there’s a huge bald eagle regally stretching its wings from wall to wall, inspiring all who enter to reach new heights. The amount of equipment that was used in one session was endless.
The Instructors: The class rotated to each of the five stations in little lines singing songs and being led by upbeat, positive instructors who gently guided them through each activity. My son was more than comfortable doing each move with them because of their gentle and positive approach. Because of this, he was uninhibited in each station able to concentrate on the task at hand. When the class was coming to an end, the instructors stamped each student’s hand and they joined in a sweet farewell song.
My 21 month old daughter was equally as comfortable with her instructor, letting her guide her, hold her and complete various stations with her. This was very surprising as my daughter is very attached to both me and my husband and rarely will let anyone hold her. My husband and I were both amazed as my daughter excitedly completed several stations with her coach, completely unaware of my husband or myself, she felt that comfortable. Amazing.
That’s Not All: They’ve been around for 30 years, and its competitive teams have brought home numerous awards. They have nationally ranked teams and they compete several times throughout the year.
They even offer a pre-​school classes along with all the other numerous recreational classes from infant to high schoolers. Their classes are for children of all levels from beginner to professional, and I really like that they offer private instruction as well.
Overall Experience: With the overwhelming inviting atmosphere that the staff creates, along with the extremely positive approach of the instructors, the impressive equipment and the numerous stations in which the children participate, along with the sheer size of this gym facility, and not to overlook the varied recreational classes that are offered to the community, Tumblebees definitely gets a five star review. This facility far exceeded our expectations in all the categories that truly matter when looking for a place to call home.

I have three kids (six, four, and almost three years old), and we have taken classes at Tumblebee’s since my oldest was little. I love the gym, because it’s a «real» gym. The instructors know the skills they are teaching, and many are former gymnasts themselves. We’ve always taken normal gymanstics classes, but they offer so much more (dance, karate, etc). With bigger classes, there are two instructors. I feel like the kids learn actual tumbling and gymnastics skills. They always have positive attitudes to make learning fun!
Another thing I love about Tumblebee’s, is the fact that you can grow with them. You can start as a baby, and go up. You do not have to be walking. At other places, you tend to age out. I’ve also done a couple birthday parties and summer camps at Tumblebee’s. Both great experiences! For parties, you can choose open gym or a more structured party. Camps are also fun, and exciting! We will keep using Tumblebee’s for years to come!

My 6 yr old daughter wanted to take gymnastics for the first time. After researching different classes I found tumblebees. It’s a real gymnastics facility. The instructor was great, considering my daughter is shy. If you are looking for gymnastics classes that really teach gymnastics not just a play time, then look no further.

I wasn’t thrilled with this place. We went for a little ones’ birthday party. We walked in and some random woman came up and said, «I’ll take that» referring to the gifts we brought in. She didn’t look like an employee, meaning her dress nor demeanor was representative of a professional employee. We also didn’t know who she was so we knew she wasn’t with the party. So I asked her, «Ummm I’ve got it… but thanks.»
The «gym» equipment was old and falling apart and smelled just as old as it looked. There were two younger employees that were floating around and mutely «entertaining» the children. The layout of the «gym» is very random and logistically made no sense.
We got 30 minutes in the party area to seat, feed, clean up, and open presents with 3 year olds. Really?! Not to mention, while the kids were finishing up eating they started cleaning and breaking down the table. Terrible.
I’m not a fan.
