Discover Gymnastics

Discover Gymnastics is a perfect 10 for parties!!! We recently hosted my daughter’s 3 year old birthday party here with guests ranging from 3 – 7 years old. The staff did an AMAZING job; we were so impressed with how well they handled the kids despite the age diversity and made the party a sweet success!!! Each child got to try a different piece of equipment — from the foam pit, to the trampolines, to running/​stretching on the floor, to a little obstacle course with bars, hoola hoops and balancing blocks, etc. The staff also helped with setting the tables, putting the food out on each plate with drinks, cutting the cakes and handing out food to our adult guests. Not only did they take care of the prep work, but the clean up too! We left so impressed with the level of service and care that the staff took to make this birthday party run smoothly and be a special success. Above all, the kids had SOOO much fun and loved marching at the end to get awarded their medals of participation. Even children under 2 years old had fun rolling and crawling on the floor and on gym equipment (parent-​supervised of course)!! It was a super easy party and we loved that the kids got to try out all the fun gymnastics equipment — we would book it again in a heart beat!!! Thanks Discover Gymnastics for a first-​class party!!!

My kids love this place! The staff is extremely friendly and very accommodating. The coaches truly care about the children, and teach them an incredible amount of skills. We switched to come here from a different gym that was 15 miles closer to our house, and could not be happier. Also had a birthday party here and was also very impressed by the attitude of the staff. Thank you Discover!

OK, so we have not been in years.
Today was a birthday party. So I thought, it has been a long time and I will watch my child closely. I watched her, as a dutiful parent should. However the pit is up very steep, small stairs and I am pregnant and walking up stairs is difficult for me. I thought, there is a employee who is working the party he should be able to keep an eye and manage the children. NOT SO!!!
My daughter who is the oldest in the bunch, 7 ½ comes down trying not to cry. Someone tried jumping over her in the pit, but did not clear her and slammed into her head.
Why are people hired to work the parties. AND WHERE on earth do they find these kids. This is a dangerous place, and the kids seem like uninterested immature high school boys.
I WILL NOT BRING MY CHILD BACK HERE AGAIN AND WILL DEFINITLY DISUADE ANYONE FROM TAKING GYMNASTICSHERE OR HAVING A PARTY.
Facilities seem clean and they have a great leotard selection. They did have ice for my daughters head.

Sincerely impressed with the toddler discovery class and Ms. Kristin. It was my son’s first gymnastic class and it was at his level but new and challenging. I thoroughly enjoyed participating in the class and I look forward to his first semester. This first class was more than I could have imagined it to be. Kudos to their program! My son just turned 18 months old and they should have better reviews. They are a busy center.

We came here for a birthday party and my son had an okay time. He loved the tramplines, balance boards, spring floors, etc.
I thought it was kind of cool at the end they gave all the kids a medal in some kind of ceremony… It was interesting.

There are some great things about this place. The Superhero classes (i.e., fun, non-​technical classes, mainly for boys that don’t want to focus on splits, pointing toes, etc.) are super fun and relaxed. Great exercise and lots of fun for active kids. And they get to wear capes and use pool noodles as light sabers! We have also attended several birthday parties and had a great time.
My only reservations are:
1. The camps allow attendees to bring nut products for lunch, which means there is peanut butter on lots of little fingers, and therefore all over the tables, chairs, water fountain, equipment, etc. So for kids with deadly food allergies, this can be a very dangerous place. I’ve also watched a nanny eat a bag of mixed nuts in the waiting area and not only spill peanuts on the floor, but also feed them to kids she didn’t even know. Most places have policies and signage to restrict peanut and tree nut products to ensure a safe environment for all children.
2. As noted in other reviews, I have seen the same coaches for the gymnastics classes speak to the children, even those as young as 4, in ways that it are very uncomfortable to witness. I would be upset if a coach were to bark/​yell at my child in that manner. That being said, it clearly gets results because even the young girls have impressive skills. So maybe that is just the world of competitive gyms.

My daughter enjoys coming here. When we first started, a couple years ago. One of the coaches was a bit much for me. Fortunately she wasnt my daughters coach. I did mention the womans attitude and yelling to another parent as I was cringing at the way she was speaking and yelling at her more advanced students. The parent just basically said, «That’s the coach those student’s parents pay for…». All I could think was, «Wow». That’s when I learned how serious some people take gymnastics. I witnessed that same coach cause a young girl to cry and it broke my heart and I no longer could enjoy sitting and watching my daughter in her completely separate class because of this womans voice.
It took me a year to sign my daughter up again and the woman has calmed down quite a bit, I’m sure many parents complained about her. My daughter is in level 1 and also does the homeschool program during the day which I must say is VERY affordable when compared to their other classes. I can say, however, that attention is given more to the students that look like they’re catching on quickly or look like they are interested, for obvious reasons.

After attending another child’s birthday party at Discover — my son was so excited to have his 5^th birthday party here. I mean after all — Spiderman would show up. I signed a contract months ago to have the super hero package with an additional charge for spiderman. Great sign us up. I signed and was ready to go. The night before the party at 5, i got a phone call from a young girl that worked at Discover to confirm the birthday party set up. When speaking with her there was no mention of the super hero package or spiderman so of course we inquired. Her exact respone, «Oh spiderman is out of town this weekend.» — Well Discover you try to explain that to your 5 year old son who has told all of his friends and had been dreaming of having spiderman at his 5^th birthday party. Needless to say — they literally broke my son’s heart. So what is a mom to do but have a family member dress as spiderman and show up. I tried to get in touch with a manager and or owner and was told everyone was out of town. The whole reason i booked at Discover was for spiderman so unless you want to take the chance of breaking your childs heart too — I would not suggest to do anything with this group. Completely unprofessional and have a bunch of young kids running the place.

There are a couple of friendly coaches there I suppose. However, when I was there with my toddler yesterday, I noticed a very unhappy group of 5 – 7 year olds there for a camp. The instructor was an insensitive bitch talking down and being aggresive to one of the children and they were really upset. It made me sick to my stomach and I regret not getting her name and saying something to the owner. It was very upsetting to me how mean and bossy she was during the remainder of our time there.
Those parents are clearly unaware of what’s going on once they drop the kids off. They are supposed to be there to learn, have fun, and build memories, not attend a boot camp.
We will not be enrolling our little girl in any more classes in the fall or during any other time in the future.

We came here for a birthday party and the kids had a great time! They have individual trampolines, foam pits, spring floors for tumbling, and rope walls to climb. They even gave all the party kids medals in a faux-​Olympic ceremony… pretty cool!

We went to try out of class on a morning for 3 – 5 years old.
So the «coach» Kenny wes well aware that she was new to gymnastics. He showed my daughter how to do a forward roll and handstand. Then the «coach» turns around does not watch. She performs the forward roll fine. Then attempts a handstand on a block while the coach IS NOT WATCHING!!! She falls flat on her face, neck twisted and hand twisted. Above her lip she now has a very small bruise and her face hurts!
Are you kidding me? NO SAFETY! No one spotted someone who comes to a trial class. I gasped so did another mother.
Unprofessional. Considering gymnastics is the MOST dangerous sport and no one watched a new student. Well after that he spotted and watched all the children. I let her stay for the class since she is tough and I did not want to cause a scene. When they went into an area where I could not see, the pit, I asked to watch and the coach, was nice and he let me.
The place is clean, staff is nice. However we will never return.

I cannot believe how great this place is! I’ve enrolled my little guy in a toddler gymnastics class along with a couple of friends and their kiddos and it is a BLAST! They show them everything from floor to trampolines to trapeze… starting at 18 months old! It’s a parent participation class so I’m getting a mini workout as well. Bonus!
It’s a little hard to find and parking was challenging. –1 star for front desk staff confusion with my registration and payment.
I’m seriously thinking of renting out this place for MY birthday and having an adult night. How fun would that be!

They told me I was INAPPROPRIATE because I was breast feeding my ten month old on the main floor!
I was attending a friends daughters fifth birthday party with my nursing baby and my four year old daughter. A female employee walked up to me a few minutes after I began nursing and told me I should move to a different area (where I would no longer be able to see or supervise my four year old) because she thought it was“inappropriate” to nurse in front of children. I told her I would not move and she said her manager told her to tell me to move and that she would have to insist. I then asked her to walk away and go get the manager. The manager never came. I was so upset I was shaking. I stayed until the end of the party and still –no manager. I wished my friend a happy birthday and left.
The next day, I looked up their number and called-​no answer. I decided to ask about their breast feeding policy on the public forum– Facebook page. The response was very Kurt and rude. The person who replied deleted many of the posts that other put up referring to Texas law regarding breast feeding and suggested I should have asked for the manager– and that the Facebook page was not the «appropriate» forum to discuss «such issues».
Really? I felt as if the person did not care at all as there was no apology or understanding that I DID ASK FOR THE MANAGER!
Three days later and no apology and I have been blocked from commenting on their public Facebook page and the comments have again been deleted.
I am so disappointed in Discover Gymnastics. They are apparently owned and run by women but have the compassion of a rock when it comes to «such issues».
Please don’t let them get away with shaming women who simply want to breast feed their child right where they are.

This place is SO HARD to find! As you venture down Shepherd from I-​10, stay in the left lane. Take a sharp left turn into the parking of what looks like boring corporate buildings right after you go over the second larger bridge. It’s hidden! Don’t look for a huge store front because it’s just a few doors in the front of what looks like a warehouse.
Once you get there, it’s a pretty cool place. We went here for a 4 year old kid’s birthday party. Our friend’s rented the place for their little girl’s birthday party. The kids could run around and do whatever they wanted. There was an area where food was set up and a long table. Our friends went all out with the food. The kids enjoyed the entertainment.
With each kid you will have adults standing around with little to do but talk to each other. It’d be nice if there was some place for them to sit while they chat.
Great idea for a party, but think about everyone who will be there, not just the kids.

Nothing is more difficult than planning a kid’s birthday party — cake? cupcakes? petting zoo? insane clown posse? balloon animals? candygrams…
After attending a party there thrown by one of my childs’ classmates, I was hooked on Discover Gymnastics! The party is simple. You provide a date, time, number of kids and some food, and the rest is taken care of for you. The kids are herded into a small group, given some warmup excersizes and then they are off bouncing, jumping and running around exerting all their energy with their toddler buddies… After an hour, they sit, sing, eat and by the time you are done, your kid’s loot has been bagged up for you and your are ready to take your exhausted little tyke home to rest, while someone else deals with the cleanup.
At the last party I attended I heard the other grownups taliking about you can bring canned beer for the adults. WHAT? I’ll never have another party at my house, ever…
One stickler though. KNOW YOUR DATE and TIME. We had the misfortune of having to reschedule for the hurricane and they charged us $ 25 to move our date. I wouldn’t have minded except the girl handling the reservations was quite unpleasant. (Sorry, stupid Hurricane messing up our plans…)
