Anon Bay Area Gyms

[Anonymous (36f0)]

Hello - I’ve found some older threads on Bay Area gyms but wanted to see if there was some updated input out there. As far as I know, the best in the Bay Area/peninsula are Airborne, San Mateo, Accel. I read in another forum that the coaching philosophies are very different at each - can anyone expand more on that? I’ve had a not so great trial experience for my daughter at one of these, but wondering if a second chance is warranted.

Also, I’ve heard of/seen Bayshore Elite (Redwood City) Peninsula Gymnastics (San Mateo), and Gymtowne (SSF and HMB) but they have less upper level gymnasts/teams. Does anyone know of these or had experiences here?

When do you think about switching from a gym without many upper level gymnasts to one with a more robust upper level program?

Are any of the California Sports Center locations within your reach?

I used to coach there, and I think they're excellent (or at least, were when I was there 10 years ago).

Unfortunately a little over an hour away!

I know some coaches who were at Head Over Heels at various points in their careers. I don’t know their current reputation but if you’re in the East Bay that could be an option. We see them at meets occasionally.
