Flip Force San Diego

Incredible place for the kids to practice flips and tricks. Not saying the older crowd can’t do it too but, you’re older, let the kids play now, do a crossword puzzle instead. The staff is very attentive, even when you think they’re not watching, they’re watching and can correct a behavior before something bad happens.
Now, open one up in the southbay please.

I had a small birthday party for my 5-​year old last weekend at Flip Force.
The pros:
— The place is a lot of fun. Lots of different activities (trampolines, foam pit, hanging silks, etc.), but the venue is small enough to feel intimate.
— The male coach we had was good with the kids and they all had fun.
The cons:
— For almost $ 300, it was too short: 1 hour of play followed by 30 mins to eat pizza and cut the birthday cake.
— It was also not easy to book. They won’t let you book over the phone, but after I did this online, they called and emailed multiple times about things already on the forms I filled out.
— The staff was not much help on the day. They delivered the pizza and then pretty much disappeared. I had to go looking for them for drinks and for plates and forks for the cake. The «goody bags» they advertised consisted of 2 jolly ranchers and a card for a trial free class, which they didn’t tell us about until my sister-​in-​law came across them at the end of the party.
— Finally, on a sad note, 1 of my son’s presents went missing. I called the venue, but they just said it was not there. We only had 5 families attend and there was no event right after our party, so I find that puzzling and a bit upsetting.

Being a parent of 9yr and 6yr old kids, I have been to several birthday places and I must say Flip Force is the worst among all. Outside temp is around 90 – 92 degrees and I was told that owners are cost cutting, so no Air Conditioners! Tried reaching owners but of course they were unavailable. I had to even request to put up some fans. It was hot, there were flies when we served food. just horrible place to host a birthday party.
Kids will no doubt have fun anywhere as they have their friends with them playing, it’s the parents whose comfort is important during such events.

They have free WiFi… thats a winner right there.

For the $$$ being paid the staff is quite inattentive!!!
** Please think twice if what you really need is important o. O… clearly their conversation with each other is NOT TO BE INTERRUPTED!
**THE SMELL. it is understandable this is a place where there will be sweat… investment in time to clean and air out equipment and its rooms should be a priority right up there with customer service!
**THE BATHROOMS. IT IS QUITE DISGUSTING! Do we not worry about hygiene in this place?
**THE HUGE PILE OF DIRTY LOST SOCKS JUST ACCUMULATING IN THE CUBBY… throw them away!!! It should be a rule (like in other sports establishments). being that we have to sit really close to the cubby holes… a pile of dirty socks can still be smelled over the musty, sour odor of the rooms.
**Flip force. have fun, sweat, and CONTRACT FUNGUS**

As the mom of a non-​athletic preteen boy, Flip Force San Diego is everything I could hope for. My son attends parkour once a week and loves it! The instructors are encouraging and helpful, especially when he gets frustrated with his own beginner skill set. I see a large increase in my son’s self confidence, anger management and problem solving capabilities since starting here. My son also attends open gym on Friday evenings which is well staffed with an instructor supervising and interacting with the children in each area. The gym is always clean, the staff is outstanding and prices are competitive with other local gym however the quality at Flip Force is far superior to the other places we’ve visited. If you are looking for a safe place for your children to interact with their peers and have FUN, this is the it!

Service is worth 1 star but the kids had a blast up until it was time for cake and pizza. The staff basically leave you to your own devises and if you need extra plates or forks, well, hopefully someone will give them to you but you have to run around looking for a staff member. It’s probably a great gym for classes but this place is not set up for bday parties. A total disappointment.

My boys love doing Parkour at Flip Force. The kids get to learn at their own pace and the instructors are very supportive and push them just enough to teach them new tricks.

I don’t know why there’s only 4 reviews but we loved this gym! My boys were really interested in Parkour so we’ve tried most of the gyms that offered this class. All the gyms were great but we found flip force to fit my boys better. It’s not the cheapest but not too expensive either. There are 2 coaches in most classes, the coaches are great with the kids, and speaking to them instead speaking away from them. Another plus is that the class incorporate various skills, stations, and activity. The class spilt into 2 groups and then switch coaches in the middle of the class. I find this technique to be very effective to sustain the children’s attention. Each week the classes are structured differently and build on the previous weeks of skills learned. The coaches teaches the moves in steps and make correction for each student.
The facility is huge compared to other facilities and it is super clean, new, and well ventilated. The viewing area for parents is spacious and we can see the kids in every area. The trampolines are great for training. Which lead me to the TNT (tumbling&trampoline) class. My boys really enjoy the coaches and learning new skills. They are able to spend time on the trampoline and do flips in a safe environment.
Basically, Flip Force is AMAZING and I would recommend to anyone interested. I noticed that since the boys have taken these classes, their agility in other sports have improved tremendously.

Best parkour/​tumbling gym ever! They have awesome service and it’s really big and spacious!!!

My child had thrived at Flip Force. The instructors have a lot of patience and encouragement to give the children. They have complimentary Wi-​Fi so parents can work while the kids train. They have adult classes too.

We have tried another gym before trying here, not to compare… but the instructors are so positive and enthusiastic here! My girls came home after trying a camp just glowing! They felt so hopeful and lifted up about their own possibilities in dance and gymnastics. What mom doesn’t want to see this little spark of confidence in their child’s eye? They wanted to go back everyday with out dreading it at all. They wanted to repeat the same camp two more times. This rarely is the case for my children to be maintain such focus with an establishment.
The cost for the camps is average compared to others. The new facility is very clean, much cooler, and very spacious. You will see the owners actively involved with coaching and frequently at the front desk. They are hands on. They seem to be approachable and great with students. Their staff is knowledgeable, super friendly and helpful. I dig the girls at the front desk. So friendly! Being a business owner, I know often your staff is the first impression a customer experiences. Thus, for the staff to be professional, caring, and accommodating to your customers is always the hope, but not always the case. I am grateful my kids have a blast, and feel safe here while being challenged to develop their skills in a positive environment.

My sons have been taking Parkour with Paul and they love it. State of the art facility. They have all kinds of other classes for all ages.
