Answer by  aml (21)

While looking for a gymnastics gym, you should review the gym for its cleansiness and quality of gym (how do they maintain it, how safe is it, etc). The staff should be qualified and/or certified. Pricing is important as well, as many gymnastics teams will make the gymnast raise money in support of the gym.

If looking for a competitive gym, do they have the proper equipment, is the coach qualified, is there adequate room to handle the programs they are recruiting for? If you are looking for a recreational gym, see what the coach is like, class size, etc. And remember ask yourself if the location is at a distance you can commit to.

The most important thing to look for is to make sure the coaches/instructors are safety certified. Also take a look at the equipment. Is it in good condition? Are there mats under all pieces of equipment? Watch the coaches and how they deal with the gymnasts.
