Mountain Kids Louisville

Fantastic experience: Our two daughters began attending Mountain Kids Gymnastics when they were each two years old. They have worked their way through the Rainbow Riders and have advanced to the USAG team level. Both have had exceptionally positive experiences with all of their Mountain Kids' coaches, coaches who are approachable, knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. We have seen our girls grow so much over the last ten years while in their care, and we are so very thrilled with their progress as both athletes and young women. The coaches have struck the perfect balance of pushing our girls competitively and supporting them as multi-sport athletes who enjoy many other activities as well. We also sincerely appreciate the atmosphere that Anna has created at this gym. It has matched our girls' needs and our own athletic goals. We could not picture our girls at any other gym. Mountain Kids has been transformational for our family. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Mountain Kids is an amazing gym. The instructors are excellent and I always know that my kids are in great hands! My daughters have discovered a passion for the sport of gymnastics thanks to Mountain Kids.

Fantastic experience: My daughter is on the girls team program at Mountain Kids and loves it. We switched from another gym seeking a more positive atmosphere and we have found that with this gym. My daughter absolutely loves the coaches and the team atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: We have been attending Mountain Kids with our two girls for the last 2 years since moving to the area. At that time, my younger daughter was 18 months old, had been diagnosed with hypotonia in her legs since birth, and was not yet able to walk. We had been in twice weekly physical therapy for some time, but she was not making much progress. She hated going and seemed to find the exercises at PT painful. Upon moving to Colorado, we joined Mountain Kids, and had not yet found a PT. We didn't need to! We enrolled my daughter in twice weekly Moonbeamers classes (b/c her older sister had twice weekly classes), and my daughter started to progress in her walking quite quickly. The combination of the energetic and encouraging instructors, with the fun atmosphere, and her love of being with other children being active, gave her the motivation to try things physically that might otherwise have been viewed as too painful to try. Within 6 weeks of starting Mountain Kids she was walking. She is now 3 years old and completely caught up with other kids her age, running, jumping, doing front and back rolls. She continues to go to Mtn Kids classes two times per week, and I strongly believe going twice per week has been instrumental for her physical development. She LOVES going each and every time and always has a huge smile on her face. The instructors adore kids and this is obvious in their teaching style. My older, 5 year old daughter has also progressed from someone who was a bit fearful of gymnastics, to now walking on the high balance beam and swinging from the bars. Her physical confidence has soared. All with the help of Mr. Brion's enthusiastic encouragement. My older daughter is obsessed with the dance and ballet classes at Mtn Kids as well, and takes these when the younger one is in gymnastics (convenient!) I love the atmosphere there and I cannot say enough good about Mtn Kids!!!

Fantastic experience: Mountain Kids Gymnastics is a wonderful mix of fun and learning skills! The gymnastics instructors do a great job of encouraging the kids. They give specific instructions which are easy to follow, and also repeat those instructions and have the kids then repeat the skill if they need more support. They encourage the kids to stretch themselves and reach for mastery of a skill. The skills are scaffolded for age appropriate development of a gymnastics skill. More specifically, my daughter's instructor, Ms. Jen, was very organized and helped students reach for a high bar where they felt success and mastery. Thank you Mountain Kids!

Fantastic experience: We've been going here for one year, though we took a break during the summer. My 3 kids all enjoy going to mountain kids and learning gymnastics from the enthusiastic and encouraging instructors. The staff at the desk do a great job of communicating, helping with scheduling and staying on top of things. Highly recommend signing up for a trial class and keeping your child here for the long run.

Fantastic experience: Excellent facility with caring and professional staff. My children have taken classes here from ranging in ages 3-10 yrs and I've found the instructors to be kind, the front desk staff helpful, and things generally clean. Sometimes during peak hours it does get crowded. I would recommend this gym to anyone!

Fantastic experience: We love this studio for dance and gymnastics for our little ones!! The teachers are awesome! It’s clean and everyone that works there is super kind!!

Fantastic experience: We are such HUGE fans! Mountain Kids was THERE for us through Covid times and has really been a big part of our settling in experience in moving to Colorado. We LOVE the staff...all of them. They make a mom feel amazing while dropping off and picking up my girl who considers this her own personal playground. It's big, yet homey. It's challenging, yet safe. I LOVE the automated and online account updates and info. It's seamless and doesn't take up a lot of my energy in sorting schedules and payments. We are just so happy we found Mountain Kids and look forward to even more adventures as we grow.

Fantastic experience: All my experiences at Mountain Kids have been fabulous! From the enthusiastic gym coaches to the exceptional dance instructors, my kids love their time at Mountain Kids! Highly recommend! And they are very good about keeping us safe during covid, couldn't be a better environment!

Fantastic experience: My daughter started taking gymnastics here last fall and we love it. Kind and encouraging coaches - inspiring (and covid-safe) environment - and we love that there doesn’t seem to be massive pressure to compete or be perfect. The whole kid is encouraged.

Fantastic experience: Mountain Kids has been such an important part of my daughter learning about teamwork, persistence and confidence. Thanks so much to the great staff at Mountain Kids! I also wanted to comment on how amazing Mountain Kids has been through COVID. The protocols put in place have been well communicated, and implemented. Thank you so much Mountain Kids for being safe and re-conceiving of your operations. So appreciated!

Fantastic experience: My 3 and 4 year old boys LOVE going to ninja classes and the coaches are so encouraging and FUN! Great experience all around, so thankful this is close to us!

Fantastic experience: We (parents and child athletes) love every aspect of Men Kids! Their instructors are knowledgeable and caring. There has been a class that challenges our kids at every stage. They plan events to engage with the community and their leadership is always willing to take feedback. We've been with them for a long time and look forward to the years to come. Keep up the great work Man Kids!

Fantastic experience: My foster daughter started up at Mountain Kids within a week of being placed with me. I briefed Mountain Kids on her special needs, and not only did they not flinch, they also helped me identify the class that best suited her needs and skills (goodbye ballet, hello ninja!). While I’m happy to see her learn new skills and hear about all the fun she’s having, I am most impressed with her blossoming confidence and the sense of community she feels at the gym. We love Mountain Kids!

Fantastic experience: My daughter started at Mountain Kids in August in the Moonbeamers class and loved it. Miss Kristen is amazing with the kids. She’s moved on up to the next level and again the teachers are great with the kids. Always catering to each child’s physical level to keep the challenged. :-)

Fantastic experience: We love Mountain Kids! Both of our daughters take gymnastics with them (ages 6 and 3.5). The coaches are knowledgeable and kind. The atmosphere is inclusive and fun!

Fantastic experience: We started Gymnastics at Mountain Kids last year as an after-school activity for my 6 years old daughter. Within the year, my daughter, who never took gymnastics before, has moved up two levels. The institute has a large facility accommodating multiple classes per age groups running in parallel without getting into each others way. The coaches are exceptional - they start each class with a fun warm up and focus the class time on proper technique. Each student gets adequate 1-on-1 time with the coach to improve his/her skills. At the end of each semester, the individual gymnast performs their routine for the audience, which is so important for their confidence. The institute also organizes annual Teddy Bear meet allowing gymnast to perform a routine for a medal. The facility is clean with enough space for parents to sit and observe the class and offers free wi-fi. I have often worked from the facility. The staff is very friendly and flexible. They honored my request to change class after the fall session started so that I could have both of my daughters start class at the same time instead of starting 30 mins apart.

Fantastic experience: Mountain Kids is an amazing place. They truly love and care about each child. They are supportive and really engage with each child, pushing them to hit goals, and grow. This place has been amazing since the first day we walked in just to see what it was about. It was exactly what we were looking for and we will be members until my son is to old to go there :) The little ninja's class is the best. They also have free open gym 3 days a week for anyone who is enrolled. LOVE THIS PLACE :)

Fantastic experience: Mountain Kids provides a great environment for kids to move - whether you're looking for Ninja, gymnastics, dance ... they have it all and we have had wonderful experiences across the board. My daughter has done gymnastics with Mountain for eight years now, from rec to team. Coaches are supportive and encouraging. My son loves the Ninja program!

Fantastic experience: My daughter has been attending Mountain Kids for years and absolutely loves it. The teachers are kind, fun, experienced and more. The classes are diverse and full of life. And the vibe in the room is always energetic. Whether she is doing ballet or gymnastics, my kid is happy there.

Fantastic experience: My 3 year old loves their dance and gymnastics program. The teachers are all amazing and we love that there is an 'open gym' time included with class registration. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: We absolutely love mountain kids! Both of our kids have been going for years! The coaches have so much energy and excitement and are wonderful with the kids! We have also been to several birthday parties here and they do a fantastic job! Love it!

Fantastic experience: We absolutely love Mountain Kids! Moonbeamers has been great for our son over the past year (from age 2-2.5). We can’t wait for him to be able to take the Ninja classes! Class are an excellent value and there are lots of opportunities for open gym time.

Fantastic experience: This place is great! My son does the Ninja Zone class, and all of the instructors are fantastic. My son is 6 and has never really been interested in any group classes or sports. This is the first class we've found that he begs us to go to. I think the class is a great confidence booster as well, which is awesome. The facility is very professional. All of their classes that I've witnessed seem great. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Mountain Kids gymnastics has been great for our son. The staff is wonderful. HIs coach makes it fun and challenging. The admin team and owner are easy to work with.

Fantastic experience: My daughter has been doing gymnastics and dance at Mountain kids for the past 4 years. She is six now. And even though we live a full 30' away, we have no problem driving to watch our daughter practice and thrive. All of the staff is caring, supportive, and attentive. We especially love our daughters Coach Jen.

Fantastic experience: My 3 year old son loves the Ninja program with coach Johnny! He is learning how to follow directions, be part of a ‘team’ and use his body with basic gymnastic skills. I enjoy watching him having so much fun and gaining confidence. Johnny is fabulous with the kids and my son adores him. I also have my 22 month old son in the Moonbeamers program with coach Kristin. He is also learning so much - gross motor skills, listening, waiting his turn, and how to be in a group. Kristin is so patient and kind, we can’t say enough great things about the program for little ones as they explore they ways they can move! Thank you Mountain Kids!

Fantastic experience: My oldest son has been going to Mountain Kids for almost 1 year. He loves their Ninja Zone program. I love the instructors and the environment!! My youngest just started the baby gymnastics class and it is wonderful too!

Fantastic experience: Mountain Kids is just an excellent program. The coaches are great and Anna (the owner) is a parent and very caring. Our daughter is part of the competitive program and it is a great balance of hard work and technique without taking the fun out of gymnastics or training 25 hours a week. My wife and I have been very impressed with how much the coaches care and support the gymnasts. We are glad we found a program with a balance of intensity, competitiveness, hard work, and care. I highly recommend Mountain Kids.

Fantastic experience: My kids love the gymnastics and Ninja Zone classes, and I love that they can both go to different classes AT THE SAME TIME! Mom score!! The instructors are experts and help my 4 year son channel his intense energy into a positive, goal oriented activity.

Fantastic experience: Both my kids love taking lessons at mountain kids. They’ve been going over 2 years now and both want to continue with it. The staff & coaches are great!

Fantastic experience: We love the family friendly gymnastics program provided at Mountain Kids. After years of problems with the scheduling, administration and philosophy at "the other gymnastics place" in Lafayette, switching to Mountain Kids was a wonderful change. At Mountain Kids, we’ve felt valued rather than just one of the herd filling the coffers. Our daughter has progressed and improved her gymnastics skills with instruction and team support, but is not burnt out. Realistically, the majority of children in gymnastics will not be involved in international or even in national competition, nor is that the goal of every family. I really applaud Coach Kelly’s sentiment that private lessons should be the exception not the rule, and that the majority of instruction should come during the practices themselves. Mountain Kid's system has been consistent and we know what to expect without worrying that schedules are going to be changed at the last minute. I am just amazed at how much the stress to our family life has been reduced since leaving EA and moving to Mountain Kids! The overall goal is to have happy, healthy children who didn’t miss out on their childhood but will reap the benefits of their gymnastics participation by being emotionally adjusted and motivated even after competitive gymnastics ends. Mountain Kids provides a place for that. We truly appreciate it.

Fantastic experience: My son and daughter both participate in programs at Mountain Kids and have so much fun! They have supportive, fun coaches and the facility is clean and well organized. Both of my children have increased their physical strength and flexibility as well as their confidence. We hope to continue participating in their programs for years to come!

Fantastic experience: We have been very impressed with how Kelly runs the gymnastics program, specifically the Xcel/pre-team program. She pushes the girls and refines their form, while still having great time. My daughter has advanced quickly and loves training! We're really happy we chose Mountain Kids!

Fantastic experience: My son has attended Mountain Kids since he was three months old. Enrolling him in the Twinkle Stars (littlest gymnasts) program run by Kristin is one of the best decisions I have made as a new mom. Kristin is a natural with babies, and we have all learned a lot from her on how to help aid in his development, all while allowing him to discover and explore in his own time. I am thrilled with the program, and how this entry into gymnastics is presented from both an early childhood education and economic standpoint. They have my wholehearted endorsement, and I will be happily signing my son up for the next level once he grows out of this first class.

Fantastic experience: Mountain Kids has been great for my daughter! And they have always been very accomodating when we need to take a session off for another activity. Definitely our best gymnastics experience in the area!!

Fantastic experience: My kids love gymnastics at Mountain Kids! They are shy, and my son totally freaked out as soon as we walked in the door for our first class. Their instructor saw we were struggling, and made special effort to connect with him. Five minutes later, both kids were happily participating. I love the emphasis on strength and confidence. Also, the instructors are conscious about body-safety rules, which I appreciate.

Fantastic experience: I am so happy we found Ninja Gymnastics at Mountain Kids. My son loves it. He looks forward to it every week. He's learning so much. The coaches are fantastic. They are fun, encouraging, positive, and creative. But they also push kids and hold them accountable to the principles of the class.

Fantastic experience: We have loved being part Mountain Kids Gymnastics! Both of my daughters have been to summer programs here, and my 6 year old is currently enrolled in gymnastics. She loves to show me how strong she is becoming! I love that she is building so much confidence and even though she is a beginner at gymnastics, she feels like a super star! Thanks Mountain Kids!

Fantastic experience: Mountain Kids is a MUST for anyone looking to expose their child to a fun, safe, clean and great workout! The staff is amazing, the skills they practice really do shape them in proper ways and build their strength. I have loved this program for a long time! My daughter has been active at Mountain Kids since she was just a year old and now as a 6 year old she can’t wait to go each week. The “extras” they do (Kids Night Out, birthday parties, holiday parties, etc) are just a wonderful added bonus!

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough nice things about this place. We started our daughter in the Moonbeamers gymnastics class this past summer (2018), and the teacher was amazing. There are lots of different days and class times offered, including a couple afternoon classes for the after school crowd. When we had to temporarily change days/times for a month because we had a new baby, the staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating. Though we're still in the Moonbeamers class (less than 3 yr olds), I'm positive we'll be continuing on to higher levels when our daughter is old enough.

Fantastic experience: My daughter took gymnastics here and loved it. They do a great job of encouraging beginner children as well as working with kids that advance more quickly to allow them to continue progressing. We also had our daughter participate in Spring break camp and summer camps. They do lots of field trips and plenty of time enjoying the gym space. Fantastic camp experience! After a few years of gymnastics my daughter decided to switch to dance and Mountain Kid’s dance program quickly became her program of choice. Fantastic, supportive teachers and well organized. Age appropriate routines and great recitals. We’re extremely happy with Mountain Kids!

Fantastic experience: This is the best most inclusive gymnastics team I've ever experienced. If attitude is everything, then mountain kids is the place to be! Thanks Ms. Megan for being such an amazing inspiration for my kiddo!

Fantastic experience: Both my boys have participated in the Ninja classes at Mountain Kids. Over the course of several years, their coaches have remained professional, enthusiastic, and full of fun. It’s amazing to watch children grow in skills and self-confidence. The facility is extremely clean. The staff is top notch - friendly, over-qualified, and a truly cohesive bunch. I love the way Mountain kids is always giving back to the community as well.

Fantastic experience: My son was reluctant to participate in his first class, but his teacher gave him some space, encouragement, then some silly high-fives and they were best buddies by the end of class! Mountain Kids is mountains above the previous local gym we attended. These instructors are well-trained in age-appropriate ways to engage the kids and it results in the kids having fun while growing in confidence and strength. We've really enjoyed our experience.

Fantastic experience: My daughters both take gymnastics at Mountain Kids and love it. The instructors are amazing, the place runs like a top - totally organized and on time. We also did Summer Camp there in 2018 and were really impressed by the variety of activities - my girls loved it. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Our kids (8 & 5) have been going to Mountain Kids for two years now, they love it. We've tried dance, gymnastics and ninja classes and all of them have been great. The teachers are engaged and that had been a bit of an issue at another local gym so we were so pleased to find Mountain Kids!

Fantastic experience: My four year old has been attending gymnastics classes for two years, and she absolutely loves it. The gym is big, fun, and well-organized. They have new themes that follow the seasons and the holidays. The coaches are amazing - safe, fun, silly, and so incredibly patient! My daughter has learned persistence, flexibility, balance, and her confidence in physical activity has grown since we started attending. Love this place!

Fantastic experience: My 15 month old LOVES the moonbeamers class here—the coaches are so enthusiastic and high-energy. Great workout for her and a great class we both look forward to each week. My 3-year old tried the ninja classes and they were a good challenge for her. Good for higher-energy kids (so all kids pretty much?!)... Have also been to a birthday party with my 3-year here and it was fantastic—the whole gym was for playing and then a separate reserved room for pizza and cake. A really great place for kids in the Louisville community.

Fantastic experience: My daughter has been enjoying gymnastics at Mountain kids for a few years now. We love their supportive staff, competitive team options, and diverse programs. From recreational classes to birthday parties, kids always have a great time here.

Fantastic experience: A message from the owner/team coach of Mountain Kids gymnastics today reminds me why we love this gym. This is the only place my daughters will do gymnastics! "I am unwilling to ever put sport before your child's well-being. We strive for balance, for continued growth, for longevity and for a continued love of the sport and a zest for life outside of the gym. We want our athletes to be well balanced; gymnastics should enhance their life, not be their life." Thank you Mountain Kids for being awesome!!!

Fantastic experience: Great gym! My daughter has been taking gymnastics lessons since she was 3 yrs old at Mt. Kids. We recently transitioned to "team" and have continued to love the support and knowledge of the coaching staff. This gym does a great job of balancing fun, work, discipline and motivation in a safe and caring environment.
