Desert Lights Gymnastics

Great place to send your girls for gymnastics. They teach great technique, condition for power, strength and endurance, encourage good health & nutrition, prepare athletes mentally as well as physically, fabulous dance training, brevet judge/coach for up to date code requirements, and a large, safe, fully equipped gym. \r My daughter trained there for 6 years and loved it. All the coaches treated her as if she were their own child. They are instinctively aware of minor injuries (even tho the athlete may try to hide it) and take precautions to prevent it from becoming a major injury. They train with strict guidelines for safety reasons but also allowing the fun in each workout. Their philosophy is to train each gymnast to the best of their ability, giving praise for even the smallest of accomplishments, regardless of the level of competition.\r My daughter earned a full ride scholarship to a top 10 Division 1 University because of their training and I thank them for keeping the sport fun and successful through the teen years. This kept her desire to continue on for another 4 years after HS graduation which was the ultimate goal. \r Great place for pre-schoolers through Elite. \r I always highly recommend Desert Lights to anyone who asks. Pros: Gymnastics training the RIGHT/SAFE/SUCCESSFUL/FUN way. more

My daughter has been going to desert Lights Gymnastics for 5 years and recently quit. After experiancing time at DLG she lost a bunch of confidence... If you like staff that is unfriendly and coaches that make your children cry then DLG is the place to go. They do train your children to be very strong, but before every gymnastics meet my daughter would cry. She was so upset we didnt even go to the last meets of the season! Pros: Not Recommended! more

Desert Lights is operated and owned by a coach that is well respected in the gymnastics industry. His work ethic and caring attitude rubs off on his staff and the care they take with their students is had to find in the Valley or even in the SW. This facility is open to other gymnasts that just pass through town, a very warm welcome is offered upon entering. Highly recommended. more
