Essendon Keilor Gymnastics Academy

This is a brilliant setup for young children. We've been coming to EKGA with all three of our children over an 8 year time frame. A fantastic opportunity for children to climb, bounce and play in a safe environment - all while playing with children their own age. Staff have been faultless in our time here, I'd highly recommend to all parents!

My daughter has always loved going to gymnastics here. The friendly team and atmosphere has always made it a happy place for my child.

Failed to meet expectation and reputation that it had for a while. The little one absolutely made no progress after having spent an year.

If your child has a talent go for it, if not you are just used to pay off the elite and squad gymnasts. Coaches taking recreational classes are mostly at a very junior level and some are from overseas and so don’t expect much from them if your kids are at recreational levels. Dislike this ‘class segregation of coaches ‘. Place is really dirty too.

Fantastic group of dedicated instructors. Keeping my daughter safe during these uncertain times with their strict hygiene practices. Strongly recommend EKGA to all levels of gymnast!

My daughter and son have been attending EKGA for 2.5 years. I have been continuously impressed with the growth I have seen. The staff are friendly, kind, patient and most importantly encouraging. Safety is paramount as is cleanliness. I would highly reccomend EKGA for children of all ages and abilities.

Had honestly terrible experience.
Never agree to any request.services are getting worse.

Next term my son won't attend here

EKGA truly is awesome - my 3 yr old has finally started this year now she's old enough after having watched her 5 yr old brother for the last couple years. The coaches are so great with the young kids - and at keeping my 5 yr old managed in particular (well done Lauren & Grace in particular!). The gym and equipment are top notch (coming from an old ex gymnast myself) and the techniques used to teach the kids are fun and engaging whilst still progressing their skills. Would definitely recommend

I have three children who have been in various classes and levels at EKGA for the past 4 years. All of my kids love their classes and look forward to going each week. The teachers are friendly and really make an effort to get to know the children and their families. As a former PE teacher I have always valued the important foundational skills that gymnastics provides and I can certainly see how my children apply these skills to other sports and recreational activities. I would highly recommend EKGA.

Amazing gym! We have been attending EKGA for over 8 years now. Both my daughters love it. The staff couldn’t be more supportive and caring. They were our saviours during one of our daughters cancer treatments, we couldn’t be more grateful! Then made sure to keep the kids involved & active during covid lockdowns, by implementing a variety of online training sessions and fun nights. This definitely broke up the monotony of lockdown life!
EKGA always make sure the kids have fun while learning some amazing skills that can be transferred to everyday life, such as confidence, determination and trying your best.

We have been attending EKGA for about 4 years with my eldest and are now starting to attend playnastics with my little one (so exciting!). The team provide a clean, safe, accepting environment where the kids have fun & build skills. The staff are always open to feedback and dealing promptly with any issue that comes up (issues are rare though). LGBTIQ+ friendly too! Highly recommended.

My daughter has attended EKGA since she was two years old and enjoying her time in Playnastics, where she met some of the great instructors who saw her potential and encouraged her to attempt various activities, which she took to with great enthusiasm. Thanks Maria and Madison!
From there, of course, her love of gymnastics has only grown and now, at the age of 7, she has joined WAGS 3. This journey from Beginners to Pre-Squad to WAGS 3 has been exciting and challenging, especially when Covid hit; however EKGA lived up to their awesomeness, by providing my daughter with online classes (which she absolutely relished - Thanks again, Madison and Megs!), before moving to outdoor classes.
Gymnastics has been a great source of comfort for my daughter during the more difficult periods and now that we're back in action, she's loving it even more!
Can't thank all the staff of EKGA enough for what they've done to help my girl work towards her dreams! ‍️

EKGA is such an amazing club and we could not be happier to be part of it! Over the past 5 years, our children have enjoyed, gymnastics classes, the school holiday program, gym camp and celebrated a birthday at the venue. We honestly are number one fans of this locally run gymnastics school. The coaches are incredibly energetic, fun, passionate and really encourage all participants to reach their full potential in a safe environment. Even over lockdowns, the staff went that extra mile to ensure all their gymnasts were still getting their training in to the best of their ability. Everyday they sent us a range of activities for the kids to do from word finds, skills and challenges, in addition to their online classes. They just have so much to give. If you want a gymnastics school with real heart, look no further. These guys absolutely live, breathe and rock the gymnastics world.

My doughter been very disappointed and stressed.it's not clean place also some staff they are not expert enough to deal with kids.
PLACE NOT CLEAN

NOT RECOMMENDED PLEASE THINK A BOUT YOUR KIDS BEFORE JOINING

• your kids will leave their lessons Unhappy and full of Negative and bad energy, No smiles, No interest to come back, No fun
•This business looking to your kids as a $$$$$$$ ONLY
•They would like to enrol students as much as they can, then they left them playing anything not even related to Gymnastics training.
•THEY TEACH NOTHING.not even smiling to kids
• The place is Sooo Dirty
• very rude customer service, Disrespectful

• Don't have any experience or knowledge how to deal with kids
• I doubt that any of their good reviews are real
%100 Fake
• Highly recommend to AVOID this place.

My daughter absolutely LOVES her weekly Monkeys gymnastics class! The team at EKGA are so patient and considerate of the little ones, and recognise that all kids are different, and therefore adapt their teaching style to match the children. It's obvious that they do not adopt a one size fits all approach to teaching gymnastics at EKGA. They did an amazing job during covid to adapt their lessons to whatever rules were in place at the time, to ensure the kids could continue to get their gymnastics fix. Thanks team!

My daughters both started at EKGA in October 2021. They have both really come such a long way since then as they have continued to progress with their gymnastics skills. My oldest has been recognized and selected to train with EKGA’s pre squad group which she has been loving and she’s super proud on getting to this level in such a short time. The Squirts classes my younger daughter has been taking part in have also really supported her Physio sessions that aid with her delayed development. The coaches and staff have been amazing and approachable and I also have to commend the office girls who have always answered any of my queries. I have every trust in the gym and the care they take with my girls during their sessions and know they provide a safe environment. Well done guys, the way you guys run your ship is second to none.

I cannot recommend EKGA highly enough! Having started while only their outdoor classes were an option over a year ago, my girls have both improved their skills and their love for gymnastics. The Squirts classes for my younger daughter are run with fun circuit style activities with a parent’s involvement, which really help support her gross motor skills that I’m currently focusing on developing. My older daughter has also come a long way in the time since we have started. Her skills improved significantly to gain her selection into EKGA’s pre squad group, which she cannot wait to start next year.
All the staff are very approachable and super friendly and even on an admin level, I have to say, the way the business is run is second to none. Well done guys.

"Thank you for your quick response to being able to return to the gym. Billie loved her class on Saturday. She hasn’t looked forward to much for a while now, it’s so nice she can now, thanks to you & all your staff involved. "

My 3 year old does gymnastics here and she has so much fun and loves it! Her coach is lovely and patient. We can't wait to go back after lockdown!
