Cascade All Star Gymnastics

I just wanted to say that this first post is all lies! I have been with this gym since it opened and this never happened. I mean Lizzy did go to the gym but we have never had 5 back to back floor rutines and anytime that any of our girls are injured our coach is the first person to tell us to sit down, rest, ice or take a day off. There have been days where our coach has told me to stop because she was afraid that i would get injured if i continued. She would never have us continue if she could see or if we had told her we were in pain. ANd our coach has not slept with the gym dads or gotten drunk aroumd us. This gym is not only a gym but a family ( open to the whole community) and coach is like our mom. She would never put us in harms way in any way. The coach at cascade all starts gymnastics is one of the most caring and intelligent people i have ever met. If you are thinking of joining a gym in bend oregon go to Cascade all stars gymnastics and start working on not only wishing on stars but catching them:) more

I started gymnastics when I was three years old, and ever since then I was stuck on the sport. When I was fourteen years old, I switched from my original gymnastics center to Cascade All Stars to be around more kids my age. Switching to Cascade All Stars was a life changing experience for me. As everyone knows, gymnastics is very draining on your body. With all the gymnastics training going on (four days a week, four hours a day), I started to acquire some back pain. I could feel nerves getting pinched off in my lower back at the same time I felt waves of shock run down my leg. My floor assignment for the day was to do five routines, back to back and if I fell, I would have to start over. As I was running into my first pass, I fell straight to the ground. My coach L*** (the owner) told me to get up and do it again. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't run without falling. I told her it hurt really bad and all s he replied was ""Lizzy, its always one thing after another with you"" I continued to do my floor routines in tears. How safe. My step dad came to pick me up and saw me crying. He could tell my back hurt and was very angry at L*** for allowing me to continue when I couldn't run without falling. The next day, I went to my scheduled doctors appointment with my chiropractor. X-Rays showed that I had scoliosis, two compression fractions, thinned out discs, permanent nerve damage and that my spinal cord was being pinched off, which was causing me to fall and get the shock waves sent down my leg. I was told that I was lucky I was not paralyzed from the waist down and that if I continued to do gymnastics, I would eventually be in a wheel chair paralyzed from the waist down. This could of been prevented if she would of let me sit out when I told her it was bothering me, instead of pretty much calling me a liar. After confronting L*** about what the x-rays showed, I never recieved an apology for her not believing me when I told her I was having pain. She, then turned around and told all my team-mates and parents at the gym that I had quit gymnastics because of my boyfriend and that I am a horrible kid. When ever I see her at gymnastics meets when I am watching my boyfriends sister, she ignores me and acts like I am not there. (Like a child) I remember when I first joined the team, I was asked to sign a contract like the rest of the girls agreeing to no drinking, using drugs, calling when you are going to be late/not come to gymnastics, no bailing out in the middle of a skill, no crying, ECT. It always made my laugh that we had to sign a contract saying not to drink after there was a team sleepover at L*** house and she was drunk out of her mind in front of the whole team....What a great example! I have since heard many worse things like driving a boat drunk at the team campout and sleeping with dads at the gym. I have also spoke with two different ex-employees of this gym saying they received a letter from a ""parent"" complaining, when the employees confronted the parents about the letter they received, they denied it. Turns out, Lexy was writting the letter to the employees and acting like a concerned parent. During my time at this gym, I saw so many injuries, one of them even led to a surgery. I wanna thank L*** for contributing to back injuries that will never go away. I now can not run, sit for long period of time or do any activity involving compression. I had to give up my future of gymnastics. Thank you for lien to the team about why I left. The best thing that ever happened to me at this gym was meeting my boyfriend of three years now, through his sister that is on the team. more

Cascade is a great place to take the koids. Its always clean and well kept. The coaches and open gym staff are super sweet. The owner goes above and beyond to make the experiance good. I highly reccomend playing at open gym on the weekends for any age. The classes are a blast and we will never go anywhere else! more

I don't know anything about the competitive gymnastics programs at Cascade All Star but I've come to open gym for toddlers for two years and it has gone completely downhill. I went recently to give it another chance and the gym was filthy. My 1 year old spent the whole time picking up garbage off the mat and trying to eat it and my 3 year old asked what was in the water fountain. Yes, that would be mildew. The water fountain must not have been cleaned for months to be that dirty. I won't go back. more

Cascade All-Stars has fantastic programs for kids of all ages and abilities. Their coaches are dedicated and hard-working, and they really work with the kids to make sure they're learning the right way. We have experienced no pressure here in terms of pushing our child too hard; they keep it fun and exciting. Their older students are obviously very well trained. Great supervision of the kids, equipment is positioned well, and although the practice times are all pretty full, the students rotate very smoothly through the different areas. They also offer some reduced price classes through Parks & Rec, but sign up early for those. Highly recommended! Pros: Individual attention by instructors; coaches obviously very talented gymnasts that know how to teach; they keep it fun for the kids. Cons: Full classes - sign up early and be patient if you're waitlisted. more
