💡Pro Tips from Reviews

  • **For Summer Camp:** If your child is young (e.g., 4 years old) or requires naps, careful consideration is needed for full-day attendance. The camp is not structured for their needs, and they may experience extreme hunger and exhaustion (Review 3).
  • **For Summer Camp:** Consider enrolling younger children for only a portion of the day to avoid over-exhaustion and hunger (Review 3).
  • **Drop-off:** Be prepared that morning drop-off, especially for younger children, may lack direct staff reception or guidance into the environment (Review 3).
  • **Coaching:** Be aware that there can be coach turnover, which might affect consistency (Review 4).
  • **Recreational Programs:** Manage expectations regarding skill development and advancement for recreational levels, as some parents reported dissatisfaction (Review 1).
  • **Cleanliness:** If sensitive to odors, be prepared that the facility may have an unpleasant smell (Review 1).

Things to Consider

  • Consistently poor communication regarding programs, schedules, and student progress (Review 1)
  • Perceived lack of genuine care and disinterest from coaches for recreational-level athletes (Review 1)
  • Reports of unprofessional coaching behavior and failure to teach fundamental techniques (Review 1)
  • Mishandling of student advancement, including unexpected removal from class and placement on waiting lists (Review 1)
  • Persistent unpleasant odor and cleanliness issues in the facility (Review 1)
  • Full-day summer camp program is not organized or suitable for young children (e.g., 4-year-olds) due to issues with hunger, exhaustion, and lack of naps (Review 3)
  • Lack of staff reception or acclimation for young children during morning camp drop-off (Review 3)
  • Frequent turnover among coaching staff (Review 4)
  • Child reportedly received a black eye during a camp and experienced bullying (Review 5)
  • Camp counselors described as aloof and not introducing themselves, contributing to an uncomfortable atmosphere (Review 5)
  • Allegations of the establishment deleting negative reviews (Review 5)

Price & Value

Specific pricing is not mentioned in the reviews. The perceived value is highly mixed; some families found positive experiences and enjoyment for their children over years (Review 2, Review 4), while others found it lacking in fundamental coaching, communication, and overall support for the price paid, especially at the recreational level (Review 1). For summer camp, the value for younger children is conditional, as it may not meet full-day care needs, potentially requiring additional solutions (Review 3).

Accessibility & Special Needs

  • No specific accommodations for special needs are mentioned in the reviews.

🍎Food & Drink Policy

  • No explicit food policy is stated. However, a 4-year-old attending full-day camp was reported to be 'sobbing from hunger' and 'begging for food' upon pickup, suggesting that food provision or easy access to snacks for younger children throughout a long day may be insufficient or not well-managed (Review 3).

🚗Parking Info

  • Parking situation is not mentioned in the provided reviews.

👥Crowd Levels

  • Not explicitly mentioned. The facility is described as 'huge' with 'many coaches' (Review 4), which might suggest it can accommodate a decent number of participants without feeling overly crowded, but no direct feedback on actual crowd levels.

🛡️Safety Features

  • Reports of a child receiving a black eye during camp (Review 5).
  • Instances of bullying during camp, with counselors reportedly being 'aloof' (Review 5).
  • Lack of direct supervision or reception for young children during morning drop-off (Review 3).
  • No positive safety features were specifically mentioned.

When to Avoid

  • If your child is young (e.g., 4 years old) and requires naps, constant supervision, or cannot advocate for their physical needs (hunger/exhaustion) for a full-day camp (Review 3)
  • If you prioritize consistent, low-turnover coaching staff (Review 4)
  • If you expect highly attentive customer service, transparent communication, and a clear path for recreational student advancement (Review 1)
  • If facility cleanliness and a pleasant environment are critical factors for you (Review 1)
  • If you are concerned about bullying or lack of direct supervision for younger children during camp (Review 5)

I feel compelled to share my disappointing experience with this gymnastics facility, particularly regarding their lack of customer service and commitment to the athletes, especially at the recreational level. The communication surrounding their programs, schedules, and student progress has been consistently poor, leaving parents in the dark. My daughter attended this gym for two years, and unfortunately, I witnessed a lack of genuine care for her development. Despite being in a recreational program, the coaches seemed disinterested in her progress, and she did not gain the skills one would expect. Some of the coaching staff displayed unprofessional behavior and failed to teach even the most fundamental techniques. What ultimately prompted our decision to leave was the mishandling of her transition to the next level. There was an understanding that she will move to the beginners class but will test on the intermediate. After two years, she was unexpectedly removed from her 5-7 year old class and placed on a waiting list for advancement, disregarding her enthusiasm for gymnastics and her tenure at the gym. This lack of consideration for both the child’s enthusiasm in gymnastics and her experience is deeply concerning. Additionally, the cleanliness of the facility is another area that needs significant improvement. The gym often had an unpleasant odor, which made some parents uncomfortable enough to wait outside or leave and return for pickup. Overall, I do not recommend this gymnastics facility due to their inadequate support and attention to both the athletes and their families. We are moving on in search of a more professional and nurturing environment.

Summer Camp - This camp would of been perfect for my four year old daughter. In fact she loved it. However, the days I kept her there full time I would get her to my car and she would start sobbing from hunger and exhaustion. She was just a little too young to be there for an entire school days length of time (my work day) without a nap. Once I got sleep and a big meal in her she would tell me how much she loved it. But I would consider your child's age and independence level before choosing this camp. The mornings were also difficult for her age level, as there was no one to receive her. Or take her and get her acclimated to the environment. There's someone at the window signing people in, and a couple teenage coaches walking around in the gym. So she would be nervous for me to leave her and it took a lot of reminding her she was going to be OK and trying to get her settled while trusting someone had an eye on her when I left. She's a very high energy, athletic girl. So getting her home happily run out was great. But again it was more than just her being tired from having fun, she was overly exhausted, overwhelmed and begging me for food when i would get her. For reference I would drop her off at 740am and pick her up at 5pm. Something she's used to due to being enrolled in daycare previously. But this camp is not set up or organized for her age group. I can see this being perfect for kids older and more independent. Kids who do not need naps, who do not need to be recieved and guided, and who can advocate for themselves when they are hungry or all other physical needs. I'm not trying to tear down the program, because it's an awesome concept. Just consider your child's independence level before enrolling them, or if they aren't as independent don't use it like we needed to as an all day solution for when your at work. She also would have done great for a portion of the day. We plan on coming back when she is just a little bigger 🙏

It's been almost 2 years since my kids started at this place. The facility is huge. They have many coaches as well, most of them come and go, which is not very nice, but unfortunately we can't control other's people plans. Every coach has their own personality, but I believe most of them are very committed to teaching the kids with professionalism. I pretend to keep my kids there for a while, as I believe we need to establish a consistent relationship in order to achieve greatness.

Not sure why my comment got deleted? My child received a black eye here during a camp. He really hated going every day because of bullying. Camp counselors didn't really introduce themselves and seemed aloof. Very uncomfortable vibe. Edit: This happened at a camp last year. My comment was removed. Odd that you have no record of it because your establishment called me to pick him up after receiving a black eye.
