Spiral Gymnastics South

This is a wonderfully & professionally run establishment! The fact that children & fun are the priorities is evident from the moment you walk in the door. The staff is great! Your kids will have an absolute blast here!

I really can’t say enough about this place. My boys have been going for years — my little goes to Edventure Camp and my big goes to the day camps and gymnastics here. THEY BOTH LOVE IT! They love all the teachers they love all the things they get to do. They LOVE Friday night fun night. Really, you couldn’t ask for a better/​more caring staff than the one they have. My boys feel very comfortable and I feel safe and happy with them there. Also, they can bring their own water and have ample water fountains…

This business does not make the safety of children a priority. My child got physically and emotionally harmed here due to their gross negligence. If only I had read the other negative reviews online before placing my child in their care! The child to adult ratio was much too high and the staff that was in the building was not attentive to the needs of the children who were left under their care. I came early to pick up my child and witnessed many issues that concerned me. I fear for the safety and wellbeing of all children who attend Spirals Gymnastics. This business needs to be promptly investigated by the state and shut down for numerous violations. I plan to follow up with legal action to ensure that no child will be subjected to the same neglect and abuse as my child. I simply cannot allow something like this to happen again to another child. I have a duty to protect other children and ensure their overall safety. I feel that I have a moral obligation to warn others about Spirals Gymnastics and prevent the company from engaging in dangerous and unethical business practices. Please heed my warnings. I am deeply concerned by the poor manner in which this business conducts itself.

This is for the Ed-​Venture camp for 3 – 5 year olds. I paid $ 210 for my 3 and 5 year old to attend one week of class. Included was a $ 10 registration fee, and a $ 10 fee for paying in advance and holding the spot. The first day I took them, I was greeted by the woman behind a desk and instructed where to go. The building is very small, and hard to maneuver when carrying an infant carrier and 3 small kids at my side. The first couple of days didn’t quite meet my expectations. They were both excited to come home, and didn’t talk about their day much. The first day my son came back begging for water, and said they gave him juice but no water. When we got home I hadn’t even put my stuff down and he was getting water. One of those days they rode a horse and came back completely covered in mosquito bites, and smelling like bug spray. After the first day I was barely greeted at the door, the woman at the desk just gave a quick glance over from her computer to say hello. Anyone could just walk in there. I picked them up 5 minutes late one day and there were kids running all through the halls, a child was on the table in the «classroom» and when my daughter was using the restroom the door was open with a teen girl standing watch in the very busy/​tiny hall. So anybody that walked by could see her. They were never really excited to go, but always to come home. On Wednesday my daughter said some things that were highly suspicious to me regarding her bathroom experience which is why we just quit going. She told me she didn’t want to go back because it’s scary, and she wants to stay home with me. Not even a week into the camp and we quit. I can’t imagine a whole summer there. Horrifying. I can tell the lady doing the camp for their age group was overwhelmed and I wouldn’t be surprised if she lost her temper with the little ones.

My middle kiddo attended a birthday party here a few years ago, and I stayed through the whole thing because even just watching was great fun!
The drill sergeant, uh, party leader Aaron was such a hoot — he put those kids through their paces! The kids do really basic gymnastics moves and run around like crazy people for about an hour — then they got to have refreshments and take a breather during presents. My daughter had a great time, and was so exhausted in a way that cake-​and-​soda sugar-​rush couldn’t touch. EXCELLENT.
I am totally ecstatic because I’ve been wracking mah branes trying to come up with a good birthday party idea for my youngest two combined — turning 9 and 5. Zoo? Okay, but it closes early and what if it’s rainy or cold? Rock climbing? The little ones need extra help from parents who sometimes they just want to escape kid-​free for a few hours! Ditto ice skating, especially for the 5-​year-​old contingent. Alley Cats is cool, but spendy for a combo-​party quantity of kids, and the little ones will be pissed that they can’t laser tag. There’s a Pump It Up party just two weekends before, and copy-​catting is lame.
See what I mean? I’m so glad I remembered these guys! 14 kids for 1.5 hours of exhausting, coma-​inducing fun starts at just $ 160; extras are $ 10 each. My 9-​yr-​old especially will be very happy to add horseback riding for just $ 50! Crazy good bargain. They have a few other add-​ons available — zipline, archery, swimming (weather permitting, obviously), indoor rock wall… dood. I SO scored.
They even provide all the cups, plates, cutlery, balloons and even soda! I’m bringing Cici’s (Taskmaster Aaron even suggested asking Cici’s to cut it in 16 pieces instead of 8. Man’s got serious experience!) from up the street and a big-​ass cake from Costco. Done.
Check out their website at
— they have summer daycamps, regular classes, Friday night date-​night camp, school holiday daycamp. If you’re anywhere near Mansfield, check them out!
Seriously, my kids have fun while they get so tired they conk out early? Priceless!
