We offer gymnastics in a fun, bright, clean, friendly environment where every child is a champion. NAAG offers recreational and competitive programs for youth that embody and instill the traits of hard work, ethics, time management, perseverance, courage, respect, and appreciation for the efforts of others while training world-class gymnasts.
My kids are having fun, are physically active and challenged, and are learning a lot more than just gymnastics. In my mind, there's no better place than NAAG - whether you have a preschool aged jumping bean who has energy to burn, or a serious school aged child who wants to go all the way in this sport.

Forcing kids to wear masks while exercising is child abuse and unsafe! Stop with this insanity!
In response to your response, I can list probably 10-12 other gymnastic centers throughout Oregon who are no longer requiring masks for ANY kids ANY age. You do have a choice and you do have the ability to do what is right. Masking kids is NOT SAFE AND NOT RIGHT!

I'm not sure how I feel about this place, I had a party here for my son but nobody ended up showing. So they gave me some free gym classes because they felt bad, which was very nice. Unfortunately I know the classes run pretty high in price and I was going to continue to pay for future classes, but every instructor iv met for the gym bug class has had very little patience and they always have an attitude if the kids dont do what they want. Mind you these are three year olds. I understand having to watch 8-12 kids at that age is hard, but also your job. I'm not very pleased. Iv seen eye rolling

Threw a Birthday Party here for my daughter's 10th and it was fantastic. There's room for two very seperate parties. The first half of the party you're on one side of the gym (while another party is on the other side) then you go and have your cake,food and presents. Then you get to be on the other side of the gym. There are party tables which are also separated. My daughter and her friends had a great time on the trampolines, ropes, foam pits and jumping off the pirate ship on one end of the gym. They even have options if you want them to bring out a parachute and do certain games

We had a great time coming here for their open gym, Friday nights from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm. The kids had a blast jumping into the foam pit and making up obstacles.
It was only $6 for my 3-yr-old and free for my 1-yr-old. . . Not bad for an indoor play area. It definitely kept them entertained. Even the little one enjoyed toddling around, carrying the foam blocks and playing with other kiddies.

We have been going to NAAG for about a year. We like how much strength our girls have gained and they are proud to show off their muscles. The instructors do a good job and I have learned some easy stretching moves from the kids.
They also don't make the kids feel inferior. My oldest is 13 and cannot do a cartwheel but they keep on encouraging her! Thanks NAAG

5 stars all the way.....Great place....great staff.....BEST SECRET in Eugene--They offer a parent's night out on Saturday nights. For only $20, from 6-10:30 the kiddos can have a blast and exercise, eat pizza, socialize with other kids, and be out of your hair on a Saturday night. Every time we pick the kids up, they are red-faced from all the exercise.....AWESOME PLACE!!!!!!

Fun place to bring kids. The have a great teaching style but it's a little crowded. Smaller children have a harder time focusing with the other classes right next to them. They also had a ton of kids in one class so the one on one attention didn't happen as much as it could. Overall, I believe they are great for older students who have better focus.

We've been to several open gyms at other gymnastics places around town and this one is by far the best and has top notch service! One of the coaches takes time to instruct the kids and has a little warm up for them. Not too mention the variety of activities they are able to participate in. My daughter will be starting up class there this summer after dance :)
