NorthStar Gymnastics & Fitness

Never receive progress update or feedback. Hard to get in touch with coachs to check on the progress. For fun and exploration probably. Seems to repeat same thing,mix with new joins, not craft to individual or different Group. The customer service is poor.

Northstar is the most hygienic and well-organized gymnastics facility I’ve ever been to. Even after the pandemic, they still disinfect the gym after every class and provide hand sanitizer to every child such thoughtful care is truly appreciated. The coaches are all friendly and cheerful, creating a fun environment not just for kids but for adults too. Both the competitive and recreational classes are run smoothly and professionally. What I love most is the ability to view the entire gym through screens, which gave me real peace of mind as a parent. Especially Coach Jon is always kind and takes the time to warmly explain things to parents!

My niece attended an expensive trial class here recently, and the experience was disappointing on multiple fronts: 1] No Parental Visibility: Although there’s ample space inside the facility for parents to observe, they do not allow it. This lack of transparency raises serious concerns about what might be happening behind closed doors. 2] Misleading Monitoring Setup: Parents are told to watch from a TV outside, but the screen constantly cycles through different camera views every few seconds. By the time you spot your child, the feed changes again. It’s clearly a superficial setup designed to give the illusion of access. 3] Poor Hygiene Practices: I noticed children with visibly runny noses allowed in class. In a group setting, this poses a risk of spreading illness — something that should be taken much more seriously. 4] Unhelpful Staff and Dismissive Attitude: The staff was curt and reluctant to engage. The owner may come across as polite, but that surface-level politeness doesn’t match the dismissive culture he seems to have cultivated. 5] Lack of Racial Diversity Among Staff: Most of the coaches and staff I observed appeared to be of Filipino descent. While there’s nothing wrong with that in itself, it does raise valid questions about whether there’s a bias in hiring or an effort to avoid diversity. 6] Questionable Leadership Credentials: The founder, Jon, appears to have a background in floor or operations management — which is logistical, not technical. That doesn’t necessarily translate into competence in gymnastics coaching or running a high-quality program. Please do not waste money here. There are far better places for Gymnastics coaching!

I recently took a series of gymnastics lessons at North Star and had a great experience. As a beginner with no previous gymnastics experience, and although challenging, I was able to learn handstands, cartwheels, and front walkovers in just 6 lessons. The instructors at North Star were kind and paid attention to each student's growth and development, and the classes were well-structured with a balance of warm-up, skill practice, and cool-down stretches. The gym was well-equipped with soft and bouncy mats, and the environment was clean and safe. One thing to note is that the lessons might appear pricey at $45 per class, but I believe the value is worth it for the 90-minute lessons. Class sizes for beginners varied from 3 to 8 students, which was a good balance for individual attention and group practice. It was also great to see students of all ages and levels in the class – age is definitely not a determining factor when it comes to gymnastics. Overall, I would highly recommend North Star to anyone interested in trying gymnastics or looking for a new fitness challenge. I only wish I had started earlier!
