Kid Wonder has very knowledgeable and kind coaches. Lindsey A. and Paige B. coach my kids and have significantly grown their skills, confidence and knowledge of the sport. We are grateful for their passion and ability to help kids reach their full potential. Thank you Kid Wonder!

We love G3 Pacific Beach. We’ve been going there for open gym forever and my kids just started gymnastics classes there. Their staff is friendly and responsible and they have excellent teachers. We are very happy with our experience, and we intend to keep on going until the kids grow out of it, which will be a very long time from now.

Wow I’m super disappointed. I went in and a kid was coughing with his mouth wide open putting his germs everywhere. After paying $40 I would have expected more cleanliness. At G3 they have rule about no sick kids. I should have left and asked for a refund. Now my daughter has a cough. ):

Took my son here for open play. Very unfriendly staff. They must've had their own children there who were unsupervised and playing unsafely around my son. After asking a young boy multiple times to please not jump so close to my little one, he collided head first into him. My son also got athlete's foot after playing here. Didn't feel the most cleanly. Disappointed because it has potential.

Ever since Kid Wonder bought out the old G3, we have been severely disappointed by lack of communication, untrained staff, and obvious financial drive that has led to our daughter now hating what she once loved. Gymnastics was my daughter’s happy place and it took exactly 2 classes with Kid Wonder to turn it into something she fears. It was time for her to move up a class (3-5) and when we arrived she was surrounded by 10 year olds. Abbey never once communicated that there wasn’t a coach to fill both classes so they combined them. The coach didn’t even introduce herself or others to my daughter, a new student in the class. My 3 year old ended up on the high beams for the first time ever and, understandably so, ran to me crying. Abbey had the audacity to tell us she wasn’t ready for this class and never once apologized for her lack of communication or straight neglect of my daughter in class. It is obvious Abbey has zero experience with children. I have been teaching for over a decade and would not trust Abbey with any of my students or families. It is clear Kid Wonder does not actually care about the love of gymnastics, they only care to get paid. Witnessing my daughter’s first love of gymnastics fester to a site of trauma has become my first heartbreak as a mom. Sharing in hopes that no other parent has to experience this heartbreak here.
