I remember going to GAR as a kid growing up and I'm so glad this place still exists for my kids. The staff is the best and I would recommend this place to all family's.

I can't say enough about how fantastic our experience has been at GAR. The new owner truly cares and it shows in many ways. The facility is well maintained and the staff go above and beyond for the kids. Our family very much looks forward to our daughter's sessions and our daughter has an absolute blast and can't wait to return. Also, the new owners commitment to work with the disability community cannot be understated. This speaks volumes about her values and leadership.

There is no words. I thought Gar would be my forever home but it ended so fast. After everything happened they canceled the optional program fired my two coaches who were my best friends and it left all of us devastated and really upset. It was right before competition season and we had to practically scramble to find a new gym quickly so we could compete this season. I found a new gym and it is amazing and was so welcoming. Nothing will compare to Gar when I first came. After the owner changed I feel like everything went downhill. I can’t even believe that all of this happened so fast. I wish that Gar would have stayed my home forever but whatever. We were mocked and laughed at by the staff. We weren’t treated the way we should have been. It was so unfair and we all deserved better! 😢😞

My daughter takes the preschool class with Brandon and she loves it! He is so good with the kids and the class is very structured. We also had her birthday party here and I can’t say enough good things. The staff was so helpful from the moment we arrived, helping unload the car, set up, taking the kids to play, tear down, and loading the car at the end. The kids had a blast and the price was super reasonable. Thank you for everything!

This gym was my home I’ve been there for almost 12 years but new owner ship ruined it and made us leave our home she fired one of our coaches for the dumbest reason and we all know it. She ruined the best part of the gym and removed an entire family and has now mentally destroyed some little girls lifes. I wish it all could’ve been different but in the end our home was stripped away from us for a reason that we will never fully understand.
