Reviews
We absolutely love Kiroi. My daughter goes there and you can genuinely see how much she loves gymnastics. She does a few other activities, but whenever we ask her what she would never give up, the answer is always gymnastics. As a parent, that’s a really good feeling, and also a relief, because when she has consistency, I have consistency. Parents will know exactly what I mean. She talks about one day making it to the Olympics, and I can see how that mindset has been shaped by the environment, her peers, the coaches, and Alexandra. Knowing that the owner is an Olympian herself makes a big difference. It’s inspiring for the kids to see someone who has actually walked that path and now gives back by mentoring the next generation. What I really appreciate is that the kids are taught that big dreams don’t come for free. There’s a strong emphasis on hard work, discipline, and commitment, and my daughter understands that. That lesson alone goes well beyond gymnastics. We’ve been to a few competitions and it’s been great to watch the kids perform under pressure. They all do really well, but more importantly, you can clearly see the quality of coaching and support behind them. The coaches are awesome, encouraging, and genuinely care about the kids. The environment is clean, safe, positive, and fun. Parents all seem to get along well. My daughter always walks out happy and exhausted, with red puffy cheeks, messy hair, and a big smile on her face. Full dad bias, but that look never gets old. Also worth a mention is their new Mega Store, dangerous in the best way. It’s basically like taking the wife to Dior… except this time it’s all for my little princess. Set up beautifully, it’s a great addition to the venue and a really nice touch for the kids. Overall, Kiroi has been an amazing place for our daughter, and we’re very grateful to be part of it.
Highly recommended Kiroi Academy! The environment is clean and tidy, with professional equipment, air conditioning, and parents rest area — the facilities are complete. The coaching team is very experienced, patient, and attentive. Whether you're a beginner or a child with some foundation, you can receive excellent guidance here. The club's atmosphere is particularly wonderful, and you can truly feel everyone's passion for gymnastics. The coaches' dedication builds the children's success. I sincerely thank the club for its support of the children and the sport of gymnastics. My child has made great progress here.
This is the most athlete centered rhythmic gymnastics club I have ever seen. Every decision is made with the athletes’ long-term development and wellbeing in mind. The coaches are professional, dedicated, and deeply attentive to each gymnast’s individual needs.
We have had a very positive experience at Kiroi Academy. The coaches are dedicated, encouraging and attentive to each gymnast’s individual needs. The environment is friendly, disciplined and motivating, helping the girls grow not only in skills but also in confidence and teamwork. We truly appreciate the care and effort the academy put into my child.
Elite coaching, beautiful facilities and a great team culture. Kiroi Academy sets the standard for rhythmic gymnastics.
