★★★★★Denise SmithGreat place to let the kids do their thing in a safe environment
★★★★★Laura CarmerFriendly and helpful staff. Their swim lessons, which I teach are amazing and so much cheaper for private lessons than anywhere else. I don't know much else about the rest of the program other than they do a lot of events and activities for kids to be involved in, which is really awesome. The pool is a great place to swim all year since it's indoor and in evenings the water is a bit heated so it's warmer.
★★★★★Justin KlineGreat Place to get in some early morning swimming. About the only place that accommodates an early schedule. And the price per visit is reasonable.
★★★★★Dustin WheeldonHad my son's birthday party here. We had free run of the gym for several hours. The lady came in special on new year's eve just for his party. Price was reasonable and the boys had a blast!
★★★★★Amanda Richhart CrockerThe gymnastics/tumbling classes at the Foundation For Youth are wonderful! My children (a 4 year old boy and 2 year old girl) are eager to attend each week’s session. The warm up exercises are engaging and the kids now like to practice them at home. There is a variety of equipment at this location: balance beams, trampolines, bars, trampoline with ball pit, playground, gymnastics mats, and more…! The obstacle course is fun for the kids and cute for the parents to watch their participation. I really like the staff here. Alexis is our favorite teacher. She is so patient with the children. It’s also nice that they let our two year old participate in “free time” after her class- while she’s waiting for her brother to finish his class.
