Monarchs Gymnastics

My son attended couple of classes at Monarchs Gymnastics. Unfortunately, our experience was deplorable: (1) when we first came in, the desk attendance (manager?) was rude and extremely unprofessional; (2) the premises weren’t clean; (3) although we paid in advance, my son’s name was not found in the computer system. We will not come back!
Thanks,
Norma

My ten year old just started Monarch this summer. My child loves the summer day camp. It has been a very good experience. The staff is very helpful and the facility fantastic.

Both my son and daughter love this place. They not only have had classes there, but also my daughter had a super fun birthday party there. What really makes this a wonderful facility are the people who work there and the incredible instructors. I just got off the phone with Lynn, the manager, to reserve summer camp and she is truly the best! From the birthday party to scheduling and summer camp, she always makes things workout for us. I really appreciate Lynn and all that she does for Monarchs. Thank you!

My 6 year old daughter has been enrolled at Monarchs for the last 2−½ years and I could not be happier. No question a 5 start gym!
Lynn and the rest of the staff are so accommodating. My daughter cannot wait to go to her class each week. She is learning the skill of gymnastics, but also how to work as a team, follow direction, safety and and she is having fun too, thank’s to the amazing coaches.
Monarch’s has a great program. Even Friday night open gym, so the parents can have a date night. Gotta love it!

This is such a great gym. The staff truly cares about safety and learning and are extremely focused on the building blocks of learning in gymnastics. The kids love the coaches and it shows in their desire to be there and participate. They have awesome programs that get the kids interested and active in the learning process. Toni in the office is so friendly and the coaches (Amanda and Connie to name a couple) are absolute sweethearts. Also, it’s awesome to come in to a gymnastics gym that doesn’t smell like feet so I feel as though cleanliness is a huge standard for them.

I have my girl in a 3 year old class.
Her teacher is great– she’s attentive, creative with what they’re doing, friendly, and upbeat. Perfect for teaching young ones.
The reason I’m only giving 3 stars is because of the other staff I’ve encountered and watched. Their younger staff they have is lazy, bored, and easily distracted. I’m surprised their parents pay for class from a 15 year old who talks through most of the class. I’ll say that this is me watching through a glass and my observations, maybe they’re speaking in length about how to point their toes and straighten their legs? I highly doubt it.
Also the first time I came in, I knew nothing of where to go, who my teacher was or anything.
She was completely unhelpful and was annoyed that I asked her to show us where to go. I had to guess the first few times on where they should be! It was confusing and should NOT be.
Their flips and tricks class looks pretty great. Attentive teacher and looks like a lot of fun!
I’m not saying don’t come here, but you should probably make sure your child’s teacher isn’t 15 years old. Also, don’t expect much help from the office staff.

My two boys love Monarchs and have been going there for years for summer camp and birthday parties. This year was the first year they did Parkour. They both love it! My younger son had his birthday party there this past June, and he said it was the best birthday party he had ever had. Lynne in the front office is very professional, helpful and caring. Mike and Mika (sp?) his two coaches, were great with the kids and took a lot of time to teach them safety and learning how to move the proper way while having a lot of fun. I have noticed that my sons have learned better balance and have gained endurance from the parkour classes.

My kids love it! Where else can I have one in gymnastics and the other in Parkour at the same time. The instructors and staff are friendly and kid orientated. Very pleased.

We had a birthday party for our 7 year old daughter on a Sunday. From the moment we arrived, the staff was as helpful as could be! We had to move a ton of food and drinks inside, and they totally helped us. Staff was incredibly nice and seemed very interested in making our experience great.
Now its play time for the kiddies, and these two coaches named Linden and Lisa were AMAZING! There were about 11 kids in our party, and they were having a blast with all the activities. The games were well organized, and the coaches are attentive to safety. (important because you have to sign a liability waiver before the party starts). Anyway, the smiles on all the kids during the party were absolutely priceless. Especially for our daughter. The games were all fun, and very interactive. The kids were having a great time. The floor space for all their activities is ENORMOUS! One of the coolest things was for my daughter they have this apparatus in which they attached her and made it like she was flying. She was in HEAVEN!
The only downside is that the parents are not allowed in the gym area during the parties. They do allow it for the parents of the birthday kid, but all the other parents must stay out of the area. I’m not sure why. But regardless, the parents can see through the huge glass window how their kids are doing. And they were all doing great! So many parents complimented us on what a great party it was, and we thought that it was mainly great because of the staff.
At the end of the day, my daughter felt like it was a tremendously fun birthday, and so did the kids, and so did the other parents… We would totally have another birthday party there!

Horrible! My girls have been to both places (in Agoura and Newbury Park). The Agoura facility is not well run (Newbury Park was great). My one daughter who doesn’t complain much was crying, not wanting to go to camp. My girls said that the games were boring and the counselors were mean. On top of that both girls came home complaining that their backs and legs hurt. At the Newbury Park facility, they loved the staff, the daily schedule and came home in great physical shape. I spoke with the Agoura Hills manager about our experience who was defensive (even though I was very positive in my conversation with her) and really didn’t get that there might be an issue. I really hope she took my feedback to heart and something changes. Until I start seeing positive reviews, I will not be back.
