My daughter takes Gymnastics here. She really enjoys it. She loves parent's night out. During the summer while we were battling this pandemic, they kept the children safe with no exposure to the virus. She was able to attend summer camp and I was stress-free. I highly recommend.

If i could give zero stars I would. My daughter had a performance today and everything was going so smoothly until it came time for the actual performance. First, the announcer failed to call my daughter onto the floor and when I went to go check if her name was on the list (that was sat right on the table in front of the announcer) I was able to spot my daughter's name right away. Then when it came time to call for the awards she mispronounced my daughter's name despite me telling her how to pronounce it before hand. My daughter is truly upset as her name is not hard to pronounce at all yet the

Please DO NOT pay any money to this company until you fully understand their billing policy. After you have paid, they will not refund you under any circumstances. So try to predict the future & make sure your child isn't sick or anything else before giving them your money.

Joe is the best coach anyone could ever ask for. He always motivated me and I did everything I could ever dream of in tumbling. Because of Joe I was able to transition easily to hard floor and I havent had any injury thanks to him. Every cheerleader I know would go to cheer gyms for tumbling but I always went to him. I have no injuries. First girl standing full at Valdosta state university and champion :) love you Joe
