I was very optimistic when we first began, and my daughter was very excited about learning gymnastics and improving her fundamental skills in order to advance to higher skills. We have been there for about 6 months and she has begun having panic attacks on the way. She said she is afraid of hurting herself and she doesn’t feel like she is learning anything.I have personally spoke to, I believe the owner, about my concerns with the coaches, not being involved enough in actual teaching. It seems to me that it’s just a lesson in practicing what you already know and if it’s the wrong way, then that’s what you’re practicing. My daughter has learned to tune in skills that were talk to her from other classmates and at home. It is frustrating to pay for a service, and in the end you have a bunch of teenagers who are not teaching, but babysitting your child while they try to teach them selves gymnastics.I know it did not used to be this way because I took gymnastics there and it wasn’t that way when I was there but now they seem to be only interested in children that have raw talent that can be moved up to their competition team and they don’t really work with the younger kids to see if they can help them develop skills based on their current fundamental abilities.

I go to the adult classes here on Tuesdays from time to time and love it only 15$ and the coaches are very helpful and nice!!! Staff is always friendly and make you feel welcome!! Very clean here and has a place for you to get a snack and a store inside you can buy all kinds of things from clothing to jewelry to honey!!! I'm very glad I found this place one of the only places I've found to do adult classes where you pay as you go and can have fun without any commitment! Great for kids aswell!!! Highly recommend it!!! Can't wait to go back!!!

I recently enrolled my son in the preschool class with Coach Joe. I cannot say enough good things about this place and the staff. The ladies at the front desk are always so sweet and welcoming and the coaches are wonderful! My son LOVES coming here so much that we decided to come twice a week instead of once a week.Coach Joe is better than I could have hoped. He is extremely patient, kind and fun. But he also knows when to be stern. He is able to get my son to sit and listen and learn. My son is always SO excited to come to class and learn something new. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to enroll my son here! Thank you Coach Joe and all the staff here for being so wonderful and teaching my son something amazing!

My niece is a student and I believe she receives top notch coaching and attention. Where they are severely lacking is in the administration and communication skills. For every competition/event, the most basic information such as time and place is never posted until the very last minute- if at all. Even the students and parents do not receive the information in a timely manner. A person can reasonably assume that an organization of this size that participates/organizes events of large scale has the detailed information well in advance of said event. By not posting the information shows a very low-level of service (and respect) to its' enrolled families and to the extended family and friends that wish to support the student and the school itself.

1st class for my 3 year old who has a speech delay. My daughter needs a lot of redirecting and they made sure she followed along with the rest of the children. Will definitely be coming back.

They actually stopped me MID RECORDING a 13 second routine because I was on a mat. I pay over $1000 a year plus competition fees and I can't record a thirteen second routine. There were at least 10Other people that did the same thing and nothing was said to them. You guys stink
