History

Established in 2003.

LGA started out as a Gymnastics only Academy. Since 2003 they have now added Cheer, Dance, and Wrestling to their academy. Family owned and operated, LGA provides affordable gymnastics in an area where most kids wouldn’t be able to afford it. LGA offers a work scholarship program to low income families so that kids can train for free.

Nathaniel F.

Business Owner

Nathan started gymnastics in 1989 at the age of 4. He later quit and rejoined the sport again at the age of 16 and was almost immediately asked to start coaching. He added classes through the city’s parks and recreation programs in La Mirada, Whittier, Norwalk, and Bellflower while still coaching in Santa Fe Springs. He eventually opened his own private facility in Santa Fe Springs, now in Whittier. He hopes to open a larger facility where they can help even more kids achieve their dreams before 2015.

I LOVE this place! My daughter is a Tumbling Toddler and has a blast every week at lessons. Great and productive program to help her run off her energy in an organized manner. (I have fun too!)

My daughter Abby just started after 2 years of cheerleading for our local city team. it was great howerver last year I was diagnosed with breast cancer & could not keep up with the full schedule of football games on weekends & after school there was still cheer pratice daily, not to mention the cost of pop warner cheer is quite steep especially for single mom. Anyhow I was st8 up with my 11 year old who was now hearbroken & I felt guilty, although my daughter was vigilant did her homework & found thru her teamates & coach who were very understanding due to my circumstance they all seem to recommended L.G.A just started a team that wld be just 3 days a week & no weekend football games, they had tryouts & gave parents intrested info on cost & detailed info on what to expect for the season. Life as my daughter says is all fab again & shes learning so much in such a brief time of just starting so I can get back to be healthy with less stress & my daughter can focous on cheer & not. moms illness its been a true blessing thank u L.G.A

My daughter took Tumbling for Cheer class through community classes offer by the city. The class was actually at the Parnell Park facility. She had so much fun, she wants to do it again! I only have positive things to say. The class was from 8 – 10 in size mostly with beginners. There were 2 instructors and they are knowledgeable and kind to the children. Nathaniel (owner) stopped by a few times to substitute. My daughter thought he was fun and funny. He is also very knowledgeable.

My daughter has been attending for about a year now and within the first few months she learned so much. Worth every penny, the coaches are great and everyone is very friendly and welcoming.

My kids love this place! Perfect for your little ones! Even my 2 year old has a great time! Nathan the owner is a family man & great coach!
M.A. the place is not getto. Nathan is constantly working on the place & making it better. Stacey P., you should have addressed your problems to the owner directly, he is very easy to talk to & would try to do what he could to make you happy.
Small class size & for a great price! They even offer sibling discounts!
Only negative & has no impact on star rating, is that it is a little hard to find the first time you go. But once you know, you know.

My daughter has been attending LGA for about 2 months and I have to say, she has improved significantly! I love the fact that scheduling a make-​up or rescheduling a class is super easy and they accommodate me almost every time (unless the class is full). The classes are never more than 5 – 6 kids per instructor, which is absolutely awesome! The price we pay is also very reasonable and affordable!!! I would’ve given a five star, but I do have to say, I wish the instructors were a little friendlier to parents and be a little more approachable! :)

I went to check this place out for gymnastics because it was so close to my house but I will definitely not be bringing my kids here. It was so small and very crowded with the equipment & kids. There seem to be an emphasis on cheering than gymnastics. They should rethink of maybe changing their business name. I also thought it was on the ghetto side.

My six year old daughter was asking to take a gymnastics class so I took her to the lighthouse academy. She was in a small group with 4 other students, which is an awesome student-​teacher ratio! Unfortunately, she did not receive the attention or instruction she needed to be successful. The students were initially shown the task such as a cartwheel or forward roll, and then they were left to do it on their own with very little intervention or corrective feedback. My daughter continuously fell a lot, and became more and more frustrated. I finally pulled her from the class and she won’t be returning.
