Jennie's Chesapeake Gymnastics

My daughter wanted to take gymnastics. She is 10 years old and had no skill set in this area. If you go in with realistic expectations I think you will be pleasantly surprised. She goes once a week and has just finished her 5th month. The whole family goes to watch her and she loves the exercise. Is she learning Olympic level gymnastics? No. She isn't ready for that anyway. She is strengthening her core, learning how to balance and gaining control of her body. Thats what the starter program is. Its $100 a month for the first month. $75 a month after that. Very reasonable for the attention she gets per 1 hour session. You have 3 days to choose from. 5 session times in all. You can't beat that. She can go to any session, once per week and if she misses a week, she just makes it up at another session the following week. Its very low maintenance. If the parents actually watch the instruction, most things you can work on at home just like you would throwing or kicking a ball with your child for other sports. The instructors are all excellent. My daughter has had Paula, Jasmine and Sarah and loves them all. Paula, her favorite, is leaving but we look forward to her being able to work with the other instructors going forward as each one brings a unique skill set to the training sessions. She may not become a gymnast, and probably doesn't want to be one. But the strengthening exercises and body control she is learning will help her excel in whatever sports she chooses in the future. What I as a parent like is...kids are only kids for so long and there is no pushing to make your child compete. She loves what shes doing so as a parent I love what is being offered. The child to instructor ratio is usually 4 to 1 or better. Again, you can't beat that. I highly recommend.

The kids love this place, everyone is very friendly and helpful.
