Rainbow Gymnastics Academy | Honolulu County, HI
About this class
Families love the friendships their kids make at Rainbow Gymnastics Academy, with many parents noting how their little ones often mention sleepovers and the bonds formed in class. Just a heads-up: while the camaraderie is strong, some parents have expressed concerns about the coaching style not being quite as supportive as it could be.

Personally, I wouldn’t recommend this place. It didn’t feel like an encouraging or inspiring environment for kids to learn gymnastics. My child attended the program for a year, and it became clear that most of the coaches primarily focused on the more naturally talented students. At times, the instructions were unclear, and there was little effort made to guide or support children who were struggling or unsure. While I don’t have experience with other gymnastics schools for comparison, the atmosphere here definitely affected my child’s enthusiasm for the sport. I’m giving two stars because we ended up treating it more like a space for physical activity rather than structured learning. My daughter was still able to enjoy it in that way, even if it wasn’t the developmental experience we had hoped for.

I definitely don’t recommend bc the coaches are so mean to the children and I just wish I took a videos of it but I don’t have their permission so I can’t take videos but my daughter says that she doesn’t really wanna go anywhere else because she has friends over there and I just wanna take her out but I want her to be happy with her friends. And they always have sleepovers with each other and they all wish they were sister.

I urge you to pay attention to the negative things said about this place. My daughter really wanted to try gymnastics and her grandparents insisted she join Rainbow Gymnastics over another gym I was looking at. WE VERY MUCH REGRET IT. The coaches seem primarily to be prior students who are now "mentoring" the younger/new students. Classes consists of children being put together in groups, and the groups running through the same stunts/drills EVERY TIME. I understand consistency is the key, but they take absolutely zero time in working with the students who may be struggling a bit more than others, and in fact, seem bored and robotic in their ways. At the end of so many weeks, all students are "promoted" based on who passes each skill set satisfactorily. Those who don't, continue doing the prior class level, BUT THE COACHES DO NOT WORK WITH THEM ON THE AREAS WHICH NEED IMPROVEMENT. In my observations, they almost seem to get impatient with the students who are struggling and seem to ignore them to focus on the ones who seem to be "nailing it". In my honest opinion, some of them should not be working with children if they do not know how to properly interact with their age levels. This entire experience has made my daughter feel discouraged and inadequate, when it comes to things she is genuinely interested in. It took a long time, but she has hesitantly started expressing wanting to try gymnastics again, but NOT Rainbow Gymnastics.

Came in for a “trial class” and it was terrible. No one introduced them selves to my son, there was no structure, the parents knew more about the class than the coaches did.No guidance on what to do, two years olds need direction! We left 10 minutes in with a crying toddler, never again!

The coaches are very knowledgeable and pretty good at instructing, (at least, they were when I attended) but seem to just automatically assume that you just don't actually give a darn about the sport instead of trying to understand that SOME kids are LUCKY to get down there ONCE a week for the classes, and can't actually get down there any other day to try to get extra practice in. Meaning, that ONE day a week is the full extent of their actual time to hone their skills at the sport.
