Hardworking, dedicated athletes trained by professional, knowledgeable coaches. In the 3 yrs the gym has been open they've won numerous national titles as well as Summit & US Finals.

My daughter has been a part of Cheer Company of Michigan since May. She walked in with zero confidence as an athlete and a flyer. Within 10 minutes they had my daughter feeling safe and confident to do stunts she's never done before. In the amount of time since we've called this gym home, i have seen my daughter transform into an amazing athlete and team player. The coaches are personal, loving, and knowledgeable. They work one on one if needed, and always ALWAYS have the athletes in mind. I have never been more proud to walk into a set of doors than I am to walk into Cheer Co. My daughter loves every second spent here and i look forward to many many years with this gym.

Cheer Co of Michigan is the best! I had 2 five year old girls join this past fall for the half year team and they had a blast! The coaches were so sweet and taught my girls a lot about teamwork, stunting, tumbling and flexibility. The owners Josh and Laura Chapman always demonstrated kindness, professionalism and fairness to all their athletes. They go above and beyond to make everyone feel like family! I am so grateful for the whole Cheer Co staff they made my girls first cheer experience amazing!

I attended an open gym with my daughter who was wanting to join an all star cheer team. We were with a neighbor who was a current athlete at the gym at the time. The coach couldn't be bothered to answer my questions as her twins were occupying all of her time. She shoved some paperwork at me and disappeared. I chatted with the mother of the athlete who had invited us and asked if she could help with my questions. I wanted to know which of the Full, Limited or Recreational options the coach recommended for an athlete of my daughter age and experience. The current athletes mom had me go into the gym with her to try and get my questions answered. The twin girls were running around where athletes were trying to stumble and stunt and the coach was in the corner on her phone. I left to run an errand and returned 20 minutes later to find the gym empty and to discover my daughter and the other athletes walking barefoot through the parking lot and grass looking for a turtle that had escaped. We left pretty quickly after that. I asked my daughter if the coach had worked with her at all and she said that she had not, but she had stunted with some of the other athletes. I felt that the entire situation was unorganized and honestly completely unsafe! I attended an open gym at a neighboring facility the next day and had a completely different experience. The coach was more than happy to answer my questions and spent significant time with my daughter to evaluate her skills and made recommendations off of that. I'm so glad a parent at CCM told me about the neighboring facility as I was leaving.

My daughter has been enrolled in the recreational program for the past two sessions. We absolutely LOVE it here. You cannot beat the price or the quality, I’ve been apart of other programs in the area and it’s a joke. You get what you pay for, athlete to instructor ratio here is about a 7-1 where other programs there’s 20 plus students to one coach. It’s very hands on, my daughter is always working very hard never standing around in lines. Staff is very kind and professional, educated, and has extensive knowledge in the sport. I would not recommend any other program in Grand Rapids, they’re filled with drama mammas that participate in vile horrible gossip (as you can see they leave reviews under fake accounts) and coaches that are very young with little to no experience. Trust me I’ve participated in other programs. At Cheer Co. the results, technique, trophies, banners and awards speak for themselves here. I give my highest recommendation to this program.

This is my daughter's third year in this gym, we would not change a thing. She has learned hard work and discipline really does pay off. When you get to the full travel competitive teams, it is competitive. The coaches are going to push you to your limits. That's their job, to make you push yourself to be your best. Yes, you may get frustrated , hard work is frustrating . Yes, they're hard on you when you make a mistake and again that's their job, you probably won't make that mistake again.

The things your child will take from this experience is hard work, commitment, discipline he/she will take with them for the rest of their lives. Oh yeah, did I mention the great group of friends you will make. Bonding over something you love will make friendships that last a lifetime. Cheer Company of Michigan was the best decision we made.

This is the most amazing competitive cheer I have been to with my girls... they have learn so much more in the month they have been here than any where else... the staff is beyond helpful and very welcoming along with all the other parents. I highly recommend cheer co to anyone that’s thinking about starting their kids in competitive cheer... I say this because my girl did competitive cheer and tumbling at a different place, and I tell you what they have learn twice as much and train harder then they have ever before. Cheer mom for life and highly highly recommend coming here!!!

This gym is the perfect balance of work hard and play hard. The owners are nothing but professionals, who also make you feel like family the second you walk in the door. They care about safety, technique, and getting results. Yes, they expect equal effort from the athletes but there is no easy way to get better at something then practicing, and practicing it the CORRECT way. The owner, Laura Chapman, is a gifted, creative, and sought after choreographer. I appreciate the work everyone at the gym does to create an environment that is rigorous for the serious athletes, and still welcoming for the athletes of all ability levels.
