💡Pro Tips from Reviews
- →If your child is an 8-year-old first-year gymnast or practices regularly at home, inquire about the curriculum progression and variety of routines to ensure sufficient challenge and engagement (Based on 4th review).
- →Parents of children with autism or other special needs should contact Owner & Head Coach Jamie Parsley *before* enrolling to discuss specific safety protocols, evaluation processes, and potential accommodations to avoid on-site refusal or embarrassment (Based on 5th review).
Things to Consider
- ⚠Repetitive routines for 11+ weeks, leading to lack of new skill teaching for some 8-year-old gymnasts (Reviewed in 4th review)
- ⚠Perceived as not offering sufficient challenge or 'help while having fun' for children who practice independently (Reviewed in 4th review)
- ⚠Owner & Head Coach Jamie Parsley refused a daughter with autism due to safety concerns after an initial trial (Reviewed in 5th review)
- ⚠The refusal process for the child with autism was deemed embarrassing and lacked a prior evaluation for special needs (Reviewed in 5th review)
- ⚠One parent felt the pricing could be cheaper given the perceived lack of progression (Reviewed in 4th review)
Price & Value
One parent felt the pricing 'could be better' given that their child experienced 11 weeks of the same routine and didn't learn new skills, implying a poor value for money in that specific case (Reviewed in 4th review). No specific prices were mentioned.
♿Accessibility & Special Needs
- •No specific accommodations for special needs were mentioned or confirmed.
- •A child with autism was refused entry by the Owner & Head Coach Jamie Parsley due to perceived safety risks after a brief trial, without a prior evaluation process, suggesting a lack of established accessibility protocol for neurodivergent children (Reviewed in 5th review).
🛡️Safety Features
- •Owner & Head Coach cited 'not safe' as the reason for refusing a child with autism, indicating a prioritization of safety, though the handling of special needs in this context was problematic (Reviewed in 5th review).
⏰When to Avoid
- • Families seeking advanced or rapidly progressing gymnastics training for an 8-year-old (or similar age) who requires varied routines and consistent new challenges (Based on 4th review)
- • Families with children with autism or other special needs without first confirming specific accommodations and evaluation processes, as on-site refusal has occurred (Based on 5th review)
- • If you expect a pre-evaluation process for special needs children to determine suitability rather than an immediate refusal on the spot (Based on 5th review)

4 years agoI like this place could be better and a little bit more cheaper since it really isn't teaching the kids anything more than they know. My daughter has came to 11 weeks of the same routine week in and week out. She just dosent seem happy here. She is a 1st year at 8 and i practice with her all the time. I just wish they actually help kids while having fun. This place really doesn't offer that. Hopefully this review can help this business become better.
