I may not be a member but I have been here a couple of times for a couple of different events. I have the right to review anything I feel is appropriate. You guys have a terrible attitude and that's why I gave this place a one star.

They have special seasonal programs that use to be OPT-IN BUT now they started to do OPT-OUT programs and even if you don't attend then they will still charge you. Remember they are "optional" but auto charging you for them even if you don't want to attend. The switch feels like a disgusting corporate cash grab.

My son joined the ninja zone class and has had a great experience so far. He has a small class size therefore gets greater attention. The front desk has been very friendly and helpful as well.
