WestCoast Training Center

My daughter loves coming to class every sat morning! Reasonable and receptionist is very
friendly and helpful!

This is a wonderful location and my daughter really loves it here! The owner Marie is friendly and in general the staff here has excellent customer service.
My daughters favorite class is the Tiny Tumblers class and she goes 2−3x a week. Shes only been going for a few weeks, will write a more in depth review as things progress!

Excellent customer service! My daughter only just started classes here and everybody at the front desk was super helpful and friendly. My daughter seems to really enjoy the class and cannot wait to go back next week which is amazing because it tends to take her awhile to warm up to things but she seems very excited about coming here. So far everybody I have met has been so friendly.

My daughter attends the «Tiny Tumblers» class three days a week — she’s been enrolled since September, I think — and she ADORES it. She loves her coaches and has a blast with the other kids in her classes. She’s very interested in learning how to do «what the big kids do» [the more advanced acrobatics] but she loves the tumble track and learning the basics as well.
I’m very pleased with the coaching staff — they have a firm handle on the students in her class and are not afraid to have a child sit out when they’re having a hard time following the rules — even though it’s usually my kid causing the ruckus. =] I appreciate having another voice of authority in my daughter’s life.
She’s only been attending for a few months but she’s already learned so much. I anticipate having her enrolled for many months to come.

Great facility and caring staff! My daughter signed up for one of their weekly programs and looks forward to class every week.
They start out doing stretching and warmup exercises before all the jumping, bending, and gymnastics activities. The huge room is split in half with the advance athletes on the right side. Make-​up classes must be made within 2 weeks of the missed class.
There is a comfortable waiting lobby downstairs (with a «healthy» vending machine and coffee dispenser) or a larger viewing area upstairs. I usually walk over to the 84 Market liquor store a few shops over to pick up a copy of the WSJ to read while waiting.
There’s plenty of parking at the «84 Airport» shopping plaza. The gps may tell you to turn onto Zeppelin Drive but there’s actually a more direct entrance off E Jack London Ave just before Isabel Ave.

Been going to the adult class for a couple months now, and it’s definitely one of the highlights of the week. There’s a group of us that come up from the south bay and I can say is worth the trip. Everyone around is really friendly and even though just about everyone is at a different skill level, I feel like we all get things to work on and every class I come out learning something new.
That and the coaches have won world championships and stuff. Nbd.

This is the place to go for a positive gymnastics experience where your kids will improve, no matter their current skill level, and thrive.
The coaching here is world-​class. The head coach, Marie Annonson, has coached athletes here to gold-​medal winning performances at the national and international levels. One former world champion has returned to join the coaching staff.
Athletes on the team range from ages 5 to 27, and many of them are internationally competitive. Yet they maintain a very healthy, down to earth, family-​centered focus. The athletes train together – which doesn’t happen in every gym– and they all cheer each other on.
It’s a welcoming and supportive place for parents as well as athletes. All in all, we make the 30 drive to Livermore a few times a week because we have seen what a positive impact it’s had on both our kids (who are two very different personalities).
If you’re looking for a great activity for your kid, choose acrobatic gymnastics at WestCoast Training Center! You’ll be glad you did.

At West Coast, my daughter has blossomed into a confident athlete. She has learned life skills — discipline, hard work, perseverance through adversity, focus, etc. — that carry over into all other areas of her life. The head coach balances high expectations with positive coaching techniques, resulting in athletes who work to their highest potential. I am forever grateful to the fantastic staff of coaches at West Coast for showing confidence in my daughter and helping her achieve her lofty goals in the sport of Acro!

I am so glad we came to this gym. Marie is an amazing coach as are all the rest. Best decision we ever made was switching to West Coast from another local gym. At West Coast you are family and not just an athlete working out.

Why would you look anywhere else. Stop reading Unilocal and come in and try it out! From tot class to adult class to pre team and team they are the best! All coaches care and are ready to train your athlete!

Both of my girls age 8 & 11 are attending private sessions with Brian and we have seen major progress. Brian is great working with my girls who are both black belts and we have tailored their thumbing training around their weakness and taekwondo requirements. I’ve noticed a remarkable transformation in my daughters in the months since they have been enrolled.
Brian is very committed to their development and is highly recommended!

My daughters have been going here for about 5 months. They love it. The teachers are great, my girls have learned a ton and they never want to miss class. They have been tested to move to the next level, but haven’t yet as they are really trying to perfect their skills. I am happy with the way they test and what they test on for their level. The price is great and they give a sibling discount, which is very nice. We plan no continuing for a very long time unless my girls tend to lose interest. At this point, I don’t see that happening anytime soon.

I cannot say enough good things about my daughters’ first class yesterday. Coach Brian worked with them and was very good with their different personalities. He assessed that my older daughter could be moved up a level, which is nice because other gyms base levels on age not ability. He was also great with my little one (almost 3 years old) as she was shy at first. He allowed me to work with her the first few minutes until she was comfortable. By the end of class she doing everything he asked with high fives and big smiles!

This is not your run of the mill gym with bars, pommels, and balance beams. At WCTC kids will learn the basics of tumbling but more importantly will be exposed to a beautiful sport known as acro-​gymnastics. If you’re fortunate enough to go during a time where the team is practicing, you will get to see several levels of athletes as well as age ranges practicing. The skills required are strength, flexibility, and grace. The most interesting part is that they use each other to perform many of their skills. Marie is the head coach and she has a great eye for detail. Having been a competitor herself she knows what to train for because she knows what the judges are looking for. The athletes, mostly girls, are very supportive of each other and little ones are looked after by the older ones. The older athletes show and help each other for the betterment of the team.
If you are thinking about where to take your kids for some gymnastic exposure, start here first. Kids like it and they’ll get to see some amazing things.

Both my daughters (7 yrs & 5 yrs) love coming to class here!!! I love coming here because the atmosphere is great and everyone is so friendly!!!

This is a wonderful place to learn gymnastics and trampoline. My 9 and 4 year old attend there and look forward to it every week. I have been to a couple other places in Livermore and I have to say that this is the best one. The teachers are great with the kids and challenge them to learn more each class. I can’t wait to get myself in the adult gym class!

Very impressed!!! Took my 5 year old there for her first class on Saturdays. She started with Marie who was really nice and great with the kids in the class. I was really impressed at what they were having the kids do at that level. She realized my daughter should be in a level up and moved her mid class to the next level class that was also going on with Kyle. Kyle was also really great with the kids. I was not only impressed with the instructors but how they run their classes and how much they get the kids to do was very impressive. My daughter left the class so disappointed that she was going to have to wait a whole week to come back. :) I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone and I’m looking forward to trying the adult gymnastics class!

***This gym is the BEST*** I try to make it regularly to the adult class which is spectacular. When I started I was unable to even do a kartwheel but now I’m working up to a back handspring. The coaches, Marie, Aleks, and Travis are so positive it makes learning new skills fun and exciting even when they are difficult. If you are looking to meet great people and challenge yourself at the same time this is the place to come.
Also if you are interested in Acrobatic Gymnastics they have an incredible team. They have all skill levels of ranging from beginners to world champions. I have never met a nicer group of people.

We just had our son’s 5^th birthday party here. It is a great venue for a Gymnastics party. The staff were both very friendly and helpful. Marie, the director, called several times before the date of the party to ensure that the party would run smoothly.
The party was for two hours for children 3 and up and consisted of coaches setting up obstacle courses, playing with a parachute, jumping on the trampoline, and free play in the gym. You can have up to 20 kids for the initial fee with an option to add more for bigger parties for a little extra. Pizza, decorations, and bottled water were all part of the package as well. There is a viewing area both up and downstairs. Upstairs is where you can set up other food for the adults if you wish and relax. For kids under three, the staff set up a mini-​craft area with coloring sheets, crayons, markers and stickers. There was even an area where you could set up a movie for the under aged children in the group.
Overall, West Coast Training Center is a great place to have a party especially if you have a very active group of kids that you would like to entertain. Our kids fell asleep for a couple hours after the party. We would definitely recommend this venue to others and are considering having our daughter’s birthday party here in the summer.

I attend the weekly Adult Gymnastics class as well as the occasional Acrobatic Gymnastics exhibition and I could not be more impressed with this organization.
Marie, the owner and head coach, is a powerhouse of responsibility and leadership. Every time she speaks, people listen. The West Coast Acro Team is one of the gold standards in the sport and it shows in the environment.
The Adult Gymnastics class is a ton of fun. It’s for all experience levels and they range from myself, who’s as flexible as a 2X4, to international gold medal gymnasts. The class has a very open atmosphere and is very conducive to learning new skills and honing old ones. Plus, it’s just a blast. Trampolines, round-​offs, flips are all a part of the agenda every Wednesday at 8:00pm.
I recommend West Coast Training Center any time anyone even whispers gymnastics.
