Easily the most unprofessional gym I have ever been to. Coaching staff is very aggressive to parents and very harsh on gymnast. Management doesnt care about you or your child mostly focuses on personal opinions and has no regard for any of their staff.

Terrible management and very unprofessional coaching staff. There is no respect towards gymnast or parents. Staff is there simply for their pay check and could care less weather you or your kids are having a good experience.

We sent an elementary school-aged boy to introductory classes here and he rrally enjoyed it. I'm not a gymnast, but it seems like a pretty well-equipped place. They also sell snacks and gymnastic supplies.

We bring our daughter her every year while visiting family to keep up with her training. They have a great facility and staff. We would be here full time if we lived here. See you every August!

Unfair coaches that play favorites with the athletes, the gym is dirty, and very overpriced. DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS GYM AT ALL!
