i would give 0 starts if there was an option. Very bad experience. It was our first time and last forsure. Fridays at 730 are supposedly an open gym however i booked both my kids $15 each and there was only very small section they could go into . Basically they had three classes going on taking most of the gym. My kids kept going to the class area as they have no signs or boarder that a class is going on . The staff working on the gym ground were very racist and very mean to little kids screaming at them ( some kids r externally sensitive to loud noises) . there was a huge trampoline where only one kid can jump on not sure for what reason except that it might be old and can break and second and of-course all the kids go and jump and this two mean rude ladies take turns on screaming to children.

This is a great gym, my daughter went here for 2 years and she loved it. Parking was pretty bad at the old place but the new spot they moved to now has lots of parking and it's a new facility. The coaches there are very friendly and very knowledgeable and the prices are reasonable. I hope the change in buildings is good for them and the students and I wish them the best in the coming years.

This is a brand new gym and yes the facilities look great, but…
I can only speak from the recreation program.
If you are looking for an over crowded gym with 10 plus kids in each class this is the gym for you.
I don’t think once the coach helped my child. The coaches stand around with arms crossed and are very disengaged with the students. I understand it is a rec program but they could at least help them on the moves from time to time. We came over to this club for a different club and have been very disappointed with the amount of kids in the classes and the instructors. I don’t think my child learned much but to wait in line to use the equipment. Also when they rotate stations one of the stations is sit ups… I understand the importance of strength but they have too many groups and as a result one station is sit ups… my child wants to go on the beam and bars not do sit ups..again yes the facilities are new but the gym lacks instruction.

This is a good facility with great potential. We just attended a tumble tot class, I would say the coaches need some coaching in working with young kids. Other than a little bit of instruction there was not much effort put into interacting and coaching the kids. Some kids didnt get their turn because its pretty much a free for all of 3-5 year old kids on the obstacles. Could have been a better experience but everyone is friendly and we will keep attending the classes.

It’s a great place pretty clean ,instructors are really nice ! My daughter loves it .I just wish they had more hand on training , they do stations and I feel like most of the time there just watching them and telling them how to do and not helping when they look like there struggling .

We take our littles here and they love it, but the instructors do not watch the kids half the time. We have seen many different instructors and most of them seem to stare off, instead of actually watching what the kids are doing and actually teaching them. They do the same things over and over every class with nothing new added.

I just finished the parent and tot class with my son and it was fantastic! Our coach was amazing, the facility is nice and it was great to get out with my little boy every week to run and jump and climb. Will definitely be back next winter for another session! Thank you!

Updating my review after my kid's taken some rec classes to say: I think parent tot just wasn't right for us. The tumblebugs classes have been fantastic, with a low number of kids and hands on instructors. My kid was at the older end of the parent tot age range when we did that class and I can tell now there's a big difference between it and tumblebugs, and why the younger toddlers would benefit from the more free play approach.

Like some other reviews, we did the parent-tot class and I found it frustrating because the instructors were very hands off and did not interact with the kids very much. They would take us to a new circuit, briefly explain all the obstacles to parents only and then stand back and let parents wrangle their kids for 15 mins, then repeat. My kid had fun running around but didn't exactly learn any gymnastics skills. The only time an instructor helped my kid was when I specifically called them over to show her how to do a somersault because she asked me how and I'm not a teacher.
