Absolutely fantastic place. The gym itself is impressive, with high ceilings, new and bright. The coaches are engaged and great at teaching children of all types of character. They have many skill levels. Both of our daughters enjoy their time greatly and have developed increased coordination athleticism and confidence.

My daughter enjoys dancing but didnt like ballet. So we were thrilled to find rhythmic gymnastics, which is the perfect combo of dance, flexibility, and artistic flair! Boston Rhythmic is excellent at what they do; the experience the coaches have in this sport is impressive and their combined competition experience is a big advantage. Its clear that they are passionate about their sport and thoroughly enjoy raising up the next generation of Olympic-quality Rhythmic Gymnasts. They are caring and attentive to the needs of individual kids, and responsive to parents questions and input. It

The online classes have been working wonderfully for our daughter. Its so great for her to keep doing the sport she loves and decompress. I dont think she could have made it this far through the year without it. Thanks Boston Rhythmic for all you do for our kids!

Great place to train in rhythmic gymnastics! My daughter has been training here for the past year and had had a great experience. She's gotten stronger and more focused, learned awesome skills, and has had a lot of fun. The coaches are wonderful - they approach training with kindness and encouragement, and achieve great success. Highly recommend Boston Rhythmic!
