Emerge Academy

Fantastic experience: Our kids love this place

Fantastic experience: Open gym was a blast, thanks!

Fantastic experience: Emerge Academy is an amazing place! They have everything from beginners gymnastics for little kids all the way up to competitive level for kids looking to be collegiate or Olympic athletes! They also have Ninja Warrior for all ages and skill levels which is really cool! They even do birthday parties and other events in their space. The coaches are all great and very knowledgeable. Spencer, the owner is a former professional gymnast and knows how to coach kids up to a very high level. His athletes’ performance speaks for itself. Spencer and his wife Katie run a great, family focused business. Highly recommend signing your kids up at Emerge Academy, you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Excellent!

Fantastic experience: All in all great facility, their ninja warrior course is an absolute beast maker and the environment makes you feel welcome. Helping to get me back to how I'd been when I did parkour constantly.

Fantastic experience: Lots of fun! We went for a birthday party and the staff was very friendly, the kids had a blast!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality , Value

Fantastic experience: Bright, clean facility. Knowledgeable staff and excellent range of activities. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They do wonderful team building activities and awards to encourage their athletes at every level of progress. They tailor the plans to strengthen and refine, but also highlight the athlete's unique talents. Great competitive team!

Fantastic experience: I never had a such experience with people until i went emerged academy very friendly all of them i miss everyone that i used to workout i will be back for sure ❤️

Fantastic experience: We love Emerge Academy! All the coaches here are very professional. My two kids love it here, and they are growing so much. Spencer is a great guy who not only teaches excellent gymnastics, but he is a great role model for my boy as well! I especially appreciate that Spencer is a man of God who prays with our kids before every meet! Thank you Emerge for all of your hard work, and dedication to these kids! God bless you all!

Fantastic experience: We could not be happier with the team at emerge. Especially Coach Spencer. When your child spends majority of their school year in the classroom and then directly to gymnastics you pray that the influence on their lives is a good one and that is exactly what this has been!!!! He pours more into them than just gymnastics and technique! We are thankful for this gym!!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: We switched gyms a little over a year ago. Best decision of our life! My son has thrived so much here , he looks forward to attending practice everyday and is actually disappointment when he doesn’t have class. There are so many wonderful qualities that are being installed into my son, like teamwork, strong work ethic, leadership skills, and so much more. We look forward to how he will continue to grow at Emerge as an athlete and as a person.

Fantastic experience: Our kids are in the Tiny Tots and Super Tots classes and we love how they are learning to balance, be coordinated, stretch out, challenge themselves, and have so much fun. The instructors are so caring and knowledgeable. The facility is outstanding.

Fantastic experience: Practically the only full gym available to adults in the entirety of the Des Moines area and its suburban communities. As for the kids, the ones that need pushing will be pushed (competitive classes) and the ones that are there to have a good time will have a good time (recreational classes) - know what you are signing them up for. The coaches are professionals. The gym is sanitized frequently, with a safe, non-toxic, green anti-microbial, and the viewing area is quite awesome for parents to watch without being too much of a distraction to the kids. The ninja equipment is regularly maintained for structural integrity and the courses cycle through so that the obstacles don't become obsolete / boring. This review is 100% based off of observations I've made as I regularly come to open gyms.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication

Fantastic experience: They had a fundraiser car wash to benefit their athletes today at Lowe's in West Des Moines. What a poised and talented group of young people. Very impressed with them and the adult helpers. There were some demonstrations of their skills while advertising the car wash. It was really nice to support their efforts. It's like my Jeep had a spa day! Thanks again! Looking forward to your next fundraiser!

Fantastic experience: Had a great time and the staff was great. Friendly and professional. Will be going back again.

Fantastic experience: Love this place and the ppl, nice staff and overall good gym with plenty of options for my training purposes. From spring gym floor to foam pit, I can train my flips with my friends safely and have a great time doing so!

Fantastic experience: My daughter is on the Xcel Gymnastics team and has trained with the Ninja Warrior program. We love our Emerge family.

Positive experience: One of the better options in the area. The facility is very nice, probably top 2. The quality of instruction is quite good but during the classes we tried, some of the kids were not kept on task very well for large periods of time. There's a lot of potential here, and if your kids generally stay on task this could be a great fit for you.

Fantastic experience: We love Emerge! Our son participates in the Ninja Warrior training, and loves it! He loves the coaches: they are understanding and supportive, and the find creative solutions for each athlete to get better each week. The facilities are clean, modern, and have a lot of the equipment you see on the show all ready to go!

Fantastic experience: Emerge has such great facilities for both Ninja and Gymnastics. We've been with several other gymnastics groups and the knowledge, facilities and professionalism of the team at Emerge is second-to-none. The coaches are very supportive and are helpful with questions and any personalized coaching our sons need. Highly recommend!

Positive experience: This business would be well served to put clear & concise driving directions on their web site. The "about us" section of their site shows them in Missouri, and Google Maps places them on a road that doesn't even exist.
