My daughter had never been in a gym just self taught and the coaches could not believe it. They boosted her confidence so much and made her feel so good about herself when she learns a new skill. I love seeing her smile when shes on the mat after shes got a skill down. The coaches are so encouraging and celebrate with the kids for their achievements. Best Gym Ever!!!

Was looking for a good experience for my daughter - this was one of the worst experiences we have had. The set up is hazardous to children with an upstairs area with a gate that opens and rails that children can fit through. When bringing up this concern I was actually yelled at over the phone and told this was my responsibility as a mom and if we just do our jobs then there's no risk to children.
I did not raise my voice at all but pointed out my concerns (as I know many other parents in our class have done as well) so to be yelled at over the phone is inappropriate. I was considering a summer
