My lass, aged 7, was keen to give gymnastics a go. She had a splendid first go at it. She managed to master a cartwheel in her very first session! It's a move she's been striving to perfect. The instructors and fellow gymnasts were giving her all the support and cheering her on until she aced it! She departed beaming with pride and eager for her next class.
We were taught the same thing every single week and never had the chance to experience something different.
Coach Russ is absolutely fantastic!!!
My young one popped in for a brilliant birthday bash at this place, and we enjoyed it so much that we decided to give gymnastics classes a go! The folks at the front desk and the trainers were incredibly accommodating [shoutout to Lynn, Brad, and Erica] and provided great support for my daughter, who tends to be a bit reserved in unfamiliar settings. She thoroughly enjoyed her class and is already keen on coming back for more!
I spent a good 20 minutes driving around trying to locate this gymnastics center, and to my dismay, their phone lines seemed to be out of order. Eventually finding the place, I was taken aback by the barely noticeable 3-inch sign and felt hesitant to step inside. Upon entering, not a single soul greeted me or offered any assistance. Needless to say, I promptly exited the premises. My advice? Seek out another establishment for your gymnastics needs.
I had to withdraw my six-year-old from Monarch Parkour classes due to a serious safety issue resulting from insufficient supervision and inadequate instruction, leading to a significant injury. As highlighted in various reviews, the younger staff at Monarch seemed easily distracted. During the incident where my son was hurt, the staff appeared unaware of what had happened – they were on the opposite side of the gym when he fell from an obstacle they were supposed to be supervising. Upon raising my safety concerns with the manager, it was revealed that no incident report had been filed by the instructor, and I was not the first parent to express apprehensions about the class management.
Despite assurances that the matter would be discussed during a staff meeting and that I would receive feedback, I never received a follow-up call. Instead, an automated billing email was sent, indicating a credit for the remaining classes my son would miss due to his injury sustained during their Parkour session. I had already informed the manager that my son would not be returning to the class due to the lack of attention and organization that led to his injury. The injury was severe enough to require multiple doctor visits, causing my son to miss school days due to his inability to walk.
While acknowledging that accidents can happen, allowing children to navigate obstacles and jump between platforms while their instructor is far away poses a clear danger. Based on my experience with the young staff's conduct and the lack of concern shown by management, I strongly recommend considering alternative gym options. I have never been so let down and appalled by the handling of a situation.
It was an incredible experience at the gymnastics center 🤸🏻♂️! I had a blast and enjoyed every moment of it. The instructors were amazing and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Can't wait to go back for more flips and tricks!
At this dazzling Gymnastics Excellence Center, my little ones have truly found their passion for tumbling and flipping! The coaches are top-notch and the facilities are absolutely first-rate. We couldn't be happier with our experience here. Highly recommend to all aspiring gymnasts!
My daughter absolutely adores this gym. She attends the Agoura Hills branch and never grumbles when it's time for her class. Coach Russ is fantastic and has imparted so much knowledge to her in just 9 months. I would wholeheartedly recommend Monarchs to anyone.
Wow! Absolutely fantastic! There's no better place than this!
My lad is absolutely chuffed with the place! Top-notch facilities and brilliant coaches, he's over the moon with it. Cheers!
I do enjoy watching the grandkids as they run and jump around the gymnastics center. It brings me such joy to see them having fun and being active!
I absolutely adore the team and coaches at this Gymnastics center. My daughter is always keen to attend as they really push them to improve. The facilities could do with a bit of a refresh, but they definitely deliver results. It's such a pleasure to be a part of this wonderful team.
I must say, quite disappointed with my experience. There is a coach named DAKOTA, who seems to be underage and lacks the appropriate skills in handling young children. Witnessed her pushing my 5-year-old and using phrases like 'Get out of here' and 'Go away.' Her behavior came across as rude, and it's befuddling why she's still employed there. The management is aware of the situation but has taken no action. I would advise keeping a close watch on her, as I wouldn't feel at ease entrusting the care of little ones to her.
What an amazing gymnastics center! My little one absolutely loves going there. She adores Coach Jaylen, Coach Ashley, and Coach Connie. The staff is fantastic, the facility has a great energy, and it's always a blast!
My lad absolutely adores the parkour sessions and crew at this gymnastics center. The trainers are absolutely brilliant and do a grand job of keeping the young ones involved and motivated. Cheers to a top-notch experience!
The makeup policy at this place is absolutely ludicrous. They only permit one makeup class per student per month, and you have to schedule it within that same month. The parkour class can be quite hazardous as the safety measures are inadequate. Additionally, the gym has a rather unpleasant odor. I would advise against attending this establishment.
Oh my goodness, this gymnastics center is absolutely fantastic for the little ones! My children have been participating in gymnastics and parkour here for over 7 years now. Lynn is absolutely amazing, she is so professional and caring. I cannot recommend Monarchs enough. The team is just superb! They truly adore our children and provide such a wonderful environment for them to thrive in.
I must say, one star feels like a generous rating for the Saturday morning Ninja class instructor, Fi. She was simply dreadful. Throughout the session, she seemed to aimlessly wander from one station to another and then plop down as if she had absolutely no clue what was happening. It felt like a complete waste of both time and money. It's truly disappointing that this establishment would choose to employ such subpar instructors.
I grew up training at the Newbury Park location for around 12 years. My daughter began her gymnastics journey at the Agoura location a couple of years back. Since relocating out of state, we've found ourselves truly missing the impeccable cleanliness, stringent safety measures, welcoming ambiance, and professionalism of the Monarchs staff, coaches, and facility!
Each session at Monarchs is meticulously planned and customized to suit the children’s abilities and developmental stage in the class. The coaches are highly trained and consistently demonstrate professionalism! Their passion for their work shines through, especially with Coach Connie and Coach Vadym. Even after moving several months ago, my daughter still fondly recalls them!
Lynne is exceptionally knowledgeable and provides valuable insights about the gym, its classes, and policies. She's a real gem!
The overall vibe at Monarchs is fantastic, and while we appreciate our new gym, we wholeheartedly miss Monarchs!
