Ascend Gymnastics DuPont

Fantastic experience: UPDATED: new coaches were added to Mini Stars and both are excellent! Coach Avery in particular is exceptional. Definitely knows how to work and connect with little kids. Our experience has been incredibly positive, we signed our kiddo up for the Winter Wonderland Camp! All issues below have no longer been an issue for several weeks. PREVIOUS REVIEW: Wish I could rate Ascend higher. We are signed up at the Olympia branch (technically in Tumwater). The first two weeks in Mini Stars went great! Our son LOVES gymnastics now. Then all of the sudden the instructor stops instructing him on the bar. At first, we thought it was a fluke. But she kept instructing and physically helping the 3 other children on the bar. Our son did 3 more rounds all without assistance. Finally, I stood nearby and told him to straighten out his arms and he did, only then did she offer to assist him. After class I was helping him with his mask at the entrance and she pushed past us without saying anything and almost knocked me over. I am a parent with a physical disability. My husband & I gave her the benefit of the doubt on August 29th when she wasn't instructing our son but was working with the other students, because everyone has a bad day or week, no big. But two weeks of no instruction for our kid and her apathetic attitude isn't okay. Honestly, we're thinking of pulling him out of Ascend which sucks because he loves it.

Positive experience: fun, excited for granddaughters to participate.

Fantastic experience: It's a little pricey, but they have great teachers, structured classes based on skill level, competition teams, preschool, open gym, and ninja warrior classes for kids. They have tables and bleachers for parents waiting, a good vending machine, and ice cream. There is plenty of parking and the area is safe. The online parent portal is amazing and the staff is great. We enjoy going there. I have 3 kids enrolled.

Fantastic experience: We've been sending our daughter here for a few years and couldn't be happier. The coaches are great and take the time to help each athlete improve!

Positive experience: i gotta say, this gym was excellent! but one problem, 5 years ago, my daughter had a bad experience with a coach. she has been in gymnastics for 5 years straight and before she quit, she had a coach forcefully push her off the bar. she had landed and rolled her arm and it almost broke. and have to add, the head coach only ever cared about the money and still does. other than that all the coaches are wonderful and i recommend going there! just i suggest you watch the kids in case.

Fantastic experience: Huge gym, great people.

Fantastic experience: They care so much about the health and well being of the kids. Great gym and awesome place all three of my kids go here!

Fantastic experience: Auburn gymnastics Dupont is a fantastic place for us to have our kids. They have lots of fun events and open gym and now even doing a military appreciation time on sundays. I love that they're working with the school to allow us to do lessons after school. It's so convenient it's one of the reasons we wanted to stay in Dupont. Great for Birthday events too! The staff is great with my son with special needs and is a big part of our community events. The lessons can be pricey but they work with you on missed lessons and there are lots of Groupon events frequently. Well worth the price for all they do.

Positive experience: American Ninja Warriors Training!

Fantastic experience: Our 11 yr old loves coming here for gymnastics! They do a great job- def recommend them!

Fantastic experience: Coaches are knowledgable and caring. Theres a preschool attached and they even have their own teacher. I am impressed overall compared to other gyms I have visited.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Coaches teach well and enforce good techniques. Tina and Nyna run the front reception desk very well. They get to know the parents and students so your kids are safe. Very easy to work with.

Fantastic experience: Just want to thank Tina and the staff at Auburn Gymnastics and South Sound Pre-K in DuPont. The teachers and staff have a great relationship with their students. I enjoyed seeing all the children having such a great time. We love helping everyone create special memories that will last a lifetime.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place! Love the coaches and the atmosphere here! I highly recommend AGC DuPont for gymnastics and for preschool!

Fantastic experience: Our boys are so happy at this gym. Awesome coaches, front desk staff is friendly and professional, always ready to help!
