Not very sure that I'm satisfied with this program my daughter has been here for almost a year and I see very little improvement. The staff barely speak to the parents unless their kid is on a team. They put all of their energy into the teams. I although my daughter enjoys coming here I don't feel there is enough coaching and discipline going on with the kids who are not on team. They allow they kids to play so much during class. I think they may be afraid to correct a child be a the parents are sitting right there watching. The instructors are very young and don't seem to care very much and seem to just be going through the motions. I never see any of the teachers doing actually demonstration. There is no upper body strength training as far as I can tell. Not sure how much longer I will keep my daughter here. It is a good price though plus they offer financial assistance to those in need.

Parents can't stay and watch in the bigger gym that's a big no no for me. Not leaving my little girl unattended.

Instructors are not there for the girls. They seem like "mean girls" taking it out on 8 year olds. It would be nice to have coaches build up little girls instead of singling out a few.

Worst place to go. They have a no teacher that know how to teach and they just keep being a student same level and they don't know how know. They hired the kids to work they don't know how to teach and are wasting money and time I put my daughter for six months I'm not able to go inside because I was busy and after months check there's no people to teach well. and the reading, my daughter just lost I put pictures that when she started and after she learned six months. Please check out this you will understand.just waste your money and time.

if you want to be discriminated upon and scar your kid, then go ahead and sign them up to that class. never saw such a supervisor who treats people in such and not in a discrete way.

Highly disappointed. Tried for a few months of the parent and me program. The teachers Galina and Harley are so condescending to the children I sincerely hope they never have children. I have never said this of any other person, ever. But these two will make terrible mothers

Overall it's OK now but the only reason I'm giving it a bad review is because One of the coaches was putting rubber bands around our feet. It was to help us stop spreading your feet while doing a backhand spring, but I told her that it was very painful and that I did not like my ankles rubbing together and that I would try better without the band. But she did not listen ,ended up having some of my skin peeling off. It was very painful and we reported her and now I no longer do gymnastics now you shouldn't either. I am sure there are more professional gymnastic gyms out there.

My daughters started here in the beginner classes, and both loved it. As time went on they both advanced to team and started competing at competitions. This is a great program that has taught my kids how to work hard, get through their fears and make some great friends. I have also enjoyed meeting the other parents and being around people who want the best for their kids.

I agree about the customer service. It is non-existent. The coaches are good but they do not offer any make up classes at all. So if your kid is sick or your child's class falls on a holiday (they are almost always open) then you have to eat the cost of that lesson. In addition to all of this there are almost always trash cans that are overflowing with fast food garbage right outside the doors.....and the doors are always wide open to try and diffuse the odor of the facility.

Long story, short: My daughter got a deep gash below her chin. Had to rush to Urgent Care. Instructor that was supposed to be "watching" her, didn't know how it happened when everything around is "soft". She finally realized my daughter was hurt, when she was on the floor crying. Cancelled our classes IMMEDIATELY. Both the instructor and manager were very unprofessional during the whole incident, and days after. Horrible experience.
