We have been a part of this gym for the past 7 years. I can't say enough about the director, coaches and volunteers that run this gymnasium. We appreciate the structured approach to coaching and self discipline. The coaches have a no nonsense approach that motivates their athletes to rise to the challenge. They offer after school care and a summer sports camp that are also very good. They fill up quick, so if you're interested call early.

We had my 4yr old's birthday party here, and the experience was mixed. Unfortunately, the rules were not communicated well and one parent got chewed out for being on the floor after they originally told us we could be. The way this was handled was very unprofessional, and it was a bad look in front of the kids to have a parent getting yelled at. If they have a rule about parents being on the floor, they should state this rule before yelling at a parent. The floor time was cut short by about ~20min, as no one told us there was a hard stop at the 60 min mark (we reserved 120 min). A number of folks

LOVE LASG! We are so lucky to have a full size gymnastics gym in our small town! AND to have competitive gymnastics, recreational programs, and summer/day camps for both boys and girls! Both my daughter and son have grown up as gymnasts at LASG. It has been a fantastic experience for them, and a valuable resource for me--thank you Loui!
