Forcing kids to wear masks while exercising is child abuse and unsafe! Stop with this insanity! In response to your response, I can list probably 10-12 other gymnastic centers throughout Oregon who are no longer requiring masks for ANY kids ANY age. You do have a choice and you do have the ability to do what is right. Masking kids is NOT SAFE AND NOT RIGHT!

I'm not sure how I feel about this place, I had a party here for my son but nobody ended up showing. So they gave me some free gym classes because they felt bad, which was very nice. Unfortunately I know the classes run pretty high in price and I was going to continue to pay for future classes, but every instructor iv met for the gym bug class has had very little patience and they always have an attitude if the kids dont do what they want. Mind you these are three year olds. I understand having to watch 8-12 kids at that age is hard, but also your job. I'm not very pleased. Iv seen eye rolling

Threw a Birthday Party here for my daughter's 10th and it was fantastic. There's room for two very seperate parties. The first half of the party you're on one side of the gym (while another party is on the other side) then you go and have your cake,food and presents. Then you get to be on the other side of the gym. There are party tables which are also separated. My daughter and her friends had a great time on the trampolines, ropes, foam pits and jumping off the pirate ship on one end of the gym. They even have options if you want them to bring out a parachute and do certain games

Edited to reflect the kind response of the staff. We've had varied experiences here at many bday parties, and the staff really is usually great. I think the experience could be improved by staff giving very clear expectations to the children and parents who attend birthday parties. Thank you!

Both my daughter and son have had lessons at NAAG. The coaches and staff have all been great to work with! Would recommend NAAG to anyone looking to teach their child gymnastics!

We had a great time coming here for their open gym, Friday nights from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm. The kids had a blast jumping into the foam pit and making up obstacles. It was only $6 for my 3-yr-old and free for my 1-yr-old. . . Not bad for an indoor play area. It definitely kept them entertained. Even the little one enjoyed toddling around, carrying the foam blocks and playing with other kiddies.
