5 months agoTGC is one of our daughter’s favorite places. She does lessons there, as well as had her birthday there. All the coaches and staff are great. We could not recommend them enough!

4 years agoMy kids love it here. I have two boys and we've utilized the ninja nights, open gym and classes. It's always well structured and the perfect environment for kids to get some energy out! The staff are friendly, and encouraging. We love that the classes teach them awareness of their body and environment, all while building strength and flexibility

10 months agoThis gym is amazing! I have seen the growth in my daughter not only as a gymnast but also as a person. She went from never doing gymnastics 3 yrs ago to going to state. I am so happy that the coaches have taken the time to learn the girls individual personalities. Encouraging team work and hard work. The girls have a crown they share when someone does their personal best on an event, they took the crown to state and the GIRLS decided to share it with other teams when they did well on an event no matter what their score said. I could not ask for more in a gym, perfecting gym skills and individual personal growth! I feel completely comfortable with my kid in their hands as a working parent I can’t always stay for 2 to 3 hrs, the coaches handle the kids with patience and caring.

a year agoEdit: I was able to speak directly with the owner this evening. She was apologetic, and agreeable to refund the cost of the course. I do still feel that the particular instructor that my son was assigned to was unfamiliar with how to work with a neurodiverse child. The overall experience was very poor for my family. However, the end result was handled appropriately. Guess I should have read the reviews before signing up. If you have a neurodiverse child, avoid this place. My 4 year old son left in tears thinking he was in trouble after the way the instructor treated him. He is a bit hyperactive, so we thought this would be a great way to redirect his energy. We were met by an instructor who could not have been more than 19 years old, who instantly seemed bothered by my child. I explained that he loves to run/jump/climb, and is capable of participating, but he is slow to adapt. In the past when we have put him in activities, he typically doesn't jump in to participate until the second session due to wanting to watch and observe the environment. So, I was surprised to see he actually jumped in quickly to participate right at the beginning of class. However, the group was provided with multiple instructions very quickly which he struggled to understand. When he asked the instructor for help, he was brushed off and told he would need to do the activity independently, then he watched while she helped the other kids do the same activities multiple times. He was told to wait in line at a particular piece of equipment for his turn (understandable) but when his turn came another child cut in front of him. He was upset but kindly asked the other child to move and was met with a simple "NO." He became frustrated after that and moved on to a different piece of equipment, where he was scolded for not paying attention. Towards the end of the course we were asked to leave because my son is "a distraction and safety hazard." This comment was made directly in front of my 4 year old, resulting in him crying and asking me multiple times if he's a bad kid. It is entirely unacceptable to make this kind of comment to a 4 year old child. I understand that my child is not perfect, and that he is not suited for everything. I have removed him from activities in the past when I felt he wasn't capable or not interested to allow a spot for another child. That was not the case here. My child is capable of participating and was very excited to see the gym/equipment. He asked for assistance when needed and was dismissed. I have attempted to contact the company multiple times with no luck at all. Each time I have called it has gone directly to a voicemail (with no callback) which seems odd since three people were sitting at the front desk when we walked in.

a year agoBy far one of the worst experiences I have ever had. Do not walk, RUN away from this organization. We enrolled out of state and we're charged full price only to realize we got one class in before the new session. We went to our very first class and we're met with a high school coach??? Never have we ever experienced this anywhere else it's always only ever been an adult, which, I didn't see one single adult the entire time I was there. The coach didn't introduce my child to the other children though it was her first class she knew no one and is a shy three year old. She never once showed her personally how to go through the routine that all of the other students new so well since if was the end of the session. The coach just let my child sit there and watch confused on what to do with essentially no direction while the coach occasionally helped other students and talked to other high school coaches. That's absolutely unacceptable. Being new to the gym, to the class, to the routine and being so young warrants a helping hand. I don't expect my child to be coddled but I do expect a coach to show her the ropes and help integrate her. I have tried calling and speaking to an adult SEVERAL time and have left numerous voicemails and not one time have I heard back. When I walked in the girl at the front desk was going to charge me and thankfully I came prepared and told her we had already paid and she finally relent and agreed we had paid. Lastly, when we came in all the high school coaches were crowded around the front desk gossiping about other workers who recently had a grandparent pass away to which one of them said, "that's not a family emergency". Having high schoolers run your organization for you isnt best practice. I have never felt more taken advantage of in my entire life. If I could give this place negative stars I would. Absolutely horrific, unacceptable, and will tell everyone we know to stay far far away.
