They seem to have "cookie cutter" training here. They don't train off of gymnast capability, rather stick to a strict guideline making all the girls fit into the same box. My daughter tried out here fresh out of a cast, so of course her arms/bars were weak. They said they would only accept her if she joined a lower level. Respectfully we declined and went to a gym that was willing to get her arm strength back up and take her at the level she was at. My daughter finished the season on the State team at Regionals & beat every girl at wildfire. Needless to say, she wouldn't

We had our toddler daughter here during the lull of Covid this year. We should have been more informed about their Covid policies, but rest assured they have NONE. We kept her in for a couple months bc her coach was vaccinated (which we confirmed) and our daughter really enjoyed the class, but were shocked at their lax health policies. No mask enforcement within the gym, maybe 10% of coaches wore them. Clearly a top down problem from management and whoever runs this poor excuse for a gym. When we finally wanted the policies clarified, the front desk actually responded with, "oh yeah,

What a disappointment. We came in for a trial class a few days after the California indoor mask mandate was reinstated due to a spike in cases. None of the administrators in the front office were wearing masks and I'd estimate 80-90% of all the students and teachers were not wearing masks either.
I also asked if they were requiring proof of vaccination for those not wearing masks and they said no. They also don't require teachers to get vaccinated. Unreal. I explicitly asked if they were choosing to ignore the current indoor mask mandate and the manager responded Yes! It's unbelievably

TRUTH FROM TEAM INSIDERS! The gym has too much people skills and business skills , which easily makes general parent happy, but forgetting to pay attention to their professional skills—- real stuff. I know some OLD family have huge regrets of putting their competition kids in this gym and wasting a couple of years on compulsory routines again and again, at the end their gymnasts have to end their gymnastics career SADDly because they repeated their levels too many times. In contrast, the other gyms not holding back gymnasts as long as they are ready and pass mobility test , they move up kids

"couldve been better". first time and i have been warned by two other moms that it is stinky. it actually was. every crevice of the warehouse, especially by the grade level doors were so filthy! there were leaves and dust all INDOORS of the corner by all the mats! next, i dont understand how shoes can be worn by adults indoors BUT children are walking and running around with no shoes, landing on their HANDS where the adults just walked on. doesnt seem that sanitary, maybe hence the smell. no one wore masks. i know it is not mandated but i thought for indoors, especially with children

I was in the parent toddler program with my twins and one one occasion my kids were walking back from the bathroom to their class and I was right behind them. The manager decided to give me a rude talk about safety issues without giving me a chance to explain. I responded saying that we are walking back from the bathroom.
On another occasion, I took one of my twins to the bathroom and the other was in the class with the teacher and somehow decided to wander away even though the teacher was present and the manager was "watching" for safety issues. I come back and I get another talk from

We were clients during the shut down with covid. Tuition was no refunded and they tried everything to make it difficult to do any "make up lessons".
Our boys did summer camp this week and are signed up for next week. The camp is boring and they boys are having a terrible time. We tried to withdraw next week but they won't refund or bend their policies when children are not enjoying their experience. So who are you in business ... for your clients? Apparently not. And apparently not for the children therefore... just money. That never sits right with me.

I visited Wildfire to observe my two granddaughters' classes and was quite impressed with the facility. It includes simultaneous classes for all ages and was very interesting to see so many levels of activity. There is an extensive upstairs observation area for visitors. My girls really enjoy themselves and I loved watching.

I took my 57 month old daughter here the other day and she was treated amazingly! I would recommend coach Emily but be warned, she thinks she's super funny when her jokes are just mediocre. However, I would recommend coach ella, I heard that she once taught a kid a double layout with only two private lessons!

Wow this place is just downright amazing. there's this coach that always looks mad but don't let that turn u away! she's the best. my kids love coach ella. she taught my son how to do a double layout on floor with only two private lessons! funny story is i saw her eating a hotdog in the parking lot even tho she says she's vegan.
also i'm thinking of starting a gofundme for her so she can replace her shoes! reach out to me on "moms of wildfire" on facebook. my son's coach shouldn't be wearing brownish white shoes with holes! we love u ella! we also

After a terrible experience at Vibe Gymnastics, I switched and started bringing my kids here for their open gym times to practice their gymnastics. I love that they are clean, consistent, and use a FAIR process to admire the kids to open gym. At Vibe gymnastics, unless you personally know the owner Dillon, don’t expect them to honor their open gym times. Be prepared to always fill out a form for your kids at Wildfire, it takes less than three minutes to fill out, so it’s not a big deal to me.
I’m more than happy to do that considering how considerate and courteous the staff always is.

Went to watch my granddaughter and was very disappointed that at least 6 of the parents couldn't be bothered to wear their masks properly or at all...no one said a word to them and since I'm at high risk I had to miss a lot of her practice...getting really sick of all the "Karens" that don't care about anyone but themselves ! Someone in this business needs to take responsibility for protecting the patrons from the self centered creeps that just don't care ! 5 stars only because my daughter and granddaughter love this place but the safety protocols are horrible.

Wildfire staff truly believe in the potential of all of their athletes. The seasoned coaches are knowledgeable and fun, with two top notch facilities to boot. Besides fun, this team regularly wins competitions at all levels and produces collegiate scholarship athletes, all while having fun. The athletes actually love gymnastics and have a positive environment, which is still not always easy to find in the gymnastics world.

BEWARE. Our child has attended gymnastics for over 2 years at this facility. After the COVID lockdown/reopening we decided to return after being reassured that the facility was in compliance with state mandates/recommendations.
At first we were very pleased, however we noticed over the last few weeks they've started to lighten up on their policies. It first began with not seeing the facility disinfected/cleaned during sessions (both parent area and gym floor). Then last week was the final straw. While watching our child, we noticed 3 instructors without masks (1 under their chin, 1

How I wanted to like and try this place. At the initial phone call, the receptionist was very rude and not accommodating. I don't know if I'll give this place another try in the future, but first I impressions definitely last. And if they are not nice in answering the phone and helping new parents, then I also wonder how they will treat my kids in the class.

We pulled out of this gym because we noticed that our daughter (4.5 at the time) wasn't being instructed during her class. Her teachers regularly talked to each other (during class) and just let her and her class mates go. We talked to someone about it and it still continued. It was sad because we really liked her instructors. Maybe this gym is better for the older kids and it's a little lax on the younger, which is common in many programs. But unfortunately for the price we were paying for her to have lessons and get instruction on gymnastics, this was not happening.

This is an overdue review now that we live in Tulsa, OK
My daughter, Ciara, always looked forward going to her 3:30 gym class with Maggy. During the warm ups it starts out with a large group of kids and then they get divided up by age/experience. Fortunately there were only 4-5 kids in the class so each child received personalized coaching. Her favorite part was the 5 minute foam pit the kids get to jump in towards the end of class...she wished it happened each time, but sometimes they ended up running out of time. I definitely recommend this place.

Great staff very friendly, a little pricey but the bonus classes help.
Its stinky and the equipment and mats look a bit worn.
The main thing is my kids classes are well over an hour and there is no working wifi. They claim to have two connections, but they don't work.
I'm sorry please get WIFI for your paying customers.

The camp and the staff are phenomenal! This is the first time I have both kids unanimously agreeing that they love a program I've enrolled both of them in, and they even asked to come back.
If I had to give constructive feedback, I would say that one of the ladies at the front desk can appear a bit unfriendly and almost rude, but she's the exception. I saw another review that said they had bad customer service when she called - unfortunately, that was true for me as well. Maybe it's just the same person.
The coaches are caring and positive and enthusiastic. They're also

My daughter has been a student at Wildfire for almost 2 years. the staff was able to break her out of her shy shell to where she is eager to participate during her lessons. I have to thank coach Paris for that. He has a great personality that works well with the kids. Unfortunately we are leaving to join a competitive cheer team which includes the tumbling training. The new team spoke highly of the skills that my daughter already has coming to the team. She could barely do a cart-wheel when she started @ Wildfire!. Amazing job Coach Paris and staff. Will continue to recommend people to the facility
