My husband works at the Business next-door and so I parked on the street next to the Business and Google asked me for my review as I drove away so my review is it looks like the kids have a wonderful time there when I see them coming out with their after they do their gymnastics they don’t look exhausted. They look happy. The parents look exhausted.

I took my 2 1/2 year old grandson here for open gym and he loved it. He didn't want to leave and is asking to go back again already. They do a 5 minute warm up as a group before releasing them for open gym. I found it unnecessary but worth it for the play time.

Terrible experience, the staff is not trained well enough to deal with kids under 5. Poor management and coaching, we left after only a few months due to the coaches being dishonest and hiding behind a "parents complaint" instead of coaching. After 3 months we were told our child would not be allowed back to the class "unless things changed" becuase of a parent complaint. No warning, no trying to work with a 3 year old, just dismissed them. This is after over a month of our child being praised and told he was doing so good. Someome is always in attendance when he was there, and we truly cannot understand what could have possibly upset another parent. Also we are in the room with all of those parents together watching our kids and never was any concern shown during or after class. They threaten to dismiss our child by email instead of adressing the issues with each parent and coaching. They hide behind the word "safety" but its really about a parent complaint. My child was jumped on in a foam pit, knocked off balance beams, fell off a slide because kids piled up at the bottom, cut in line, etc. All normal 3 and 4yrl stuff. We taught him that it's ok if teammates make mistakes, we didnt complain becuase hey its 3 year olds on their first team, they should learn from mistakes, have empathy, learn to help a teammate up and say sorry. They only used the word Safety after a complaint before that our child was "doing amazing". So note to future parents, complain early and often because otherwise your child will be singled out by which ever parent was upset. We brought our business to a different gym, with better pricing and staff far more experienced with toddlers.

Wasn’t a good fit for my daughter. The class required things that were not developmentally appropriate for a 2 year old. The coach also came up and picked up my daughter a few times without her permission. I really try to teach my daughter that her body is not for others to touch without permission and it made me a bit uncomfortable. I also felt like there was a push towards training toddlers to be future professional gymnasts instead of just embracing letting them have fun and move their bodies. It was not what I was looking for in a 2 year old gymnastics class.

My son had his first class today and it was incredible. Coach Paul is so friendly and personable. My son does not warm up to new people easily and halfway through the class was running up to coach Paul to say “I did it!” Everything was really well ran and there was space for my son to explore and get comfortable with no pressure. I was shocked how much he participated right away considering he typically likes to watch for a while before joining in on things. So excited for what the future holds.
