REVIEWS:

 
  • My then 5 year old daughter started out with Advance in the last term of 2018 in fun gym before moving up to development Within that same term , and then the next year into level 1 due to the amazing coaches and a supportive environment she progressed so quickly with time and care taken towards my daughter and all the other gymnasts in the academy. My daughter is soon to compete in her first few comps living up her dream! Thankyou advance for the ongoing support , care and passion you provide.

     

     

 
  • My daughter has developed confidence and beautiful friendships since starting out with Nancy and her wonderful coaches

     

     


  • The best group class I have taken my kids to. My kids love it! There aren’t many places that cater for both toddlers and preschool age kids at the same time, but Advance Academy does this really well. The classes and circuits are creative and have different themes each week

 

    • I have found Advance Academy Gymnastics staff and coaches to be professional and friendly. Since attending my daughters gymnastics skill level has increased. Staff take the time to build strong individual relationships. I would recommend Advance Academy Gymnastics to any parent who is looking for a high quality gym.
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

  • great facility and friendly staff. the kids always have fun and usually come out with a big smile and a story or two of what they did.

 

  • We have been with Advance Academy for over 16 years and all our 3 girls have gone from Kindergym through the levels. Two of them are now coaches. The high level of coaching saw one of them make the level 8 state team. The fitness, fun and friendship they have experienced has been fabulous to watch. It is lovely to see them now use their skills to teach the new young gymnasts coming through.

  •  My daughter has just joined squads here. She's a beginner but has fallen in love with gymnastics. The staff are friendly and professional. The facilities are excellent. Bonus: You're able to drop your kid off and come back as well - sneak out for a coffee ;)
