What People Say About Us

Our family has grown with Arising Stars for the past 21 years. All three of my girls have participated in the competitive program. Along with gymnastics skills, they developed lifelong skills of time management, self discipline, and living a healthy life. Scarlytt continues to participate and will compete in the 2011-12 season.

My daughter Ainsley (4 yrs old) started at Arising Stars last summer. I had not been involved with gymnastics before we started coming here. Not knowing what to expect, I was so surprised with the staff. I love seeing Robin's smiling face as we come in each time. She always make a point to say "Hi" to all of the…

"Arising Stars is great place to gain strength, confidence and personal drive. These are SOME of the qualities that our daughter has developed by going to Arising Stars. The people at Arising Stars work with families to ensure all children are given the best opportunity to succeed in muliple facets of life …

We signed a very energetic two year old up for a recreation class, never imagining where gymnastics would take us. My daughter fell in love right away and found a focus and determination that we didn’t even know was possible. Now on the competition team, our daughter continues to have the best experience and has learned so much beyond gymnastics skills. Arising Stars’ coaches blend building relationships, having fun, and having high expectations to lead to truly exceptional results. Arising Stars has become a second home and second family for us. I will always be grateful we signed up for that first class!

We have been at Arising Stars for 3 years now and have loved our experience. My oldest has grown so much not only in skills but confidence. The coaches take the time to get to know your kids and care about their success. We recently started my youngest daughter in classes and she is already doing things she was scared to do with the help of the coaches. My family would 100% recommend Arising Stars for your child!

My daughter has been going to Arising Stars Gymnastics for about 4 1/2 years now. With the help and guidance of the coaches she has really found her passion! The gym is fully equipped with anything your gymnast needs. The coaches are all experienced and knowledgeable. We appreciate the positive teaching style they all exhibit which has allowed her to gain so much confidence with her gymnastics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Trial classes are not offered at Arising Stars. It’s our belief that a child isn’t able to fully experience all the activities and benefits in just one class. In addition, allowing a new student into a class on a one-time basis takes time and attention away from the students enrolled in the class. We recommend signing your child up for the minimum of 4 weeks to allow your child to get the full opportunity to experience the benefits of a class. Parents are always welcome to come view a class prior to enrolling.

No, Arising Stars does not require a yearly registration fee for our recreational classes.

Arising Stars has open enrollment all year round.

As soon as your child is registered online with payment, your child can attend their first class. Classes are purchased in consecutive weeks, starting from the first class your child attends (excluding holidays when the gym is closed). In other words, if you purchase 4 weeks of classes, you are paying for 4 consecutive weeks.

There is no opportunity to make up or carry over missed classes. Arising Stars believes in consistency to ensure the progression of the student. Allowing students to make up in other classes with other instructors causes disruption in class sizes and confuses teaching methods. To ensure the best opportunity for your child’s success, consistency is important.
