Gymnastics review We were very sad that we felt the need to pull our 3 and 4 year olds out of here due to our 4 year old being scolded and told he would not be able to return to gymnastics if he didn't do better at listening. His coach brought him to tears with the way she was treating him. The coach gave a verbal description of a move on a beam and my son didn't understand, so he asked what that move was. Her snarky response was that she was too big and definitely not demonstrating it. (Even though there were higher bars in the same area) A simple verbal description would have sufficed or saying she would show him when he gets to the bar. Kindness would have been appreciated. When my son got to the bar he attempted to do the move he thought was right (also a move he does everytime) and this is when she scolded him on his listening skills and threatened him with being kicked out. This immediately killed all of his joy and excitement about being here and he dropped to the floor in tears. When I emailed the company to talk to a manager or owner about the situation, the call I got was not from an owner but from this coach, who says she was some form of manager and acted as though she didn't know who she was talking to at first. When I explained to her how I felt her coaching was inappropriate for a 4 year old her responses were the same. She would say "I'm sorry but..." then justify her actions. She claims she was concerned for their safety when my kids were doing 2 summersaults instead of 1 on the cheese mat. My kids are high energy especially amidst the pandemic where we are so limited in options for activities to keep them busy. I'm pretty sure an extra summersault is not a reason to start mistreating my children. I appreciate being concerned for the safety of the children however belittling them into tears and threatening being kicked out of gymnastics is never the right approach. On the website this gym claims to be "a positive learning environment where we not only encourage the development of gymnastics skills but kids are given the opportunity to thrive physically, emotionally and socially." This was 100% false in our experience here on this day. Our son was discouraged, brought to tears, and told he may not be able to return...let's remember, he's 4. If this is how they speak to a child this young in front of parents, how do they speak to and treat older children without parents present?

We had our daughters 7 year old birthday party there with 6 friends. She had a amazing time. The instructor was so engaged with the girls and very friendly. She was the face of the company to us and met or exceeded all expectations. They had a party room which was already setup and it was clean! Well worth the amount they charged.

My daughter goes here.. great place. Great staff.

This place is an excellent atmosphere for our toddler. The coaches are patient and energetic, the facility is clean and friendly. Our little girl absolutely loves going here every week.

Super amazing coaches and staff. On pointe with their approach to sport and child development.
