I really want to like this place. It is very clean, which is unusual for a gymnastics place. They…read morereally care about the appearance of the gym and pay attention to detail. However, we have been here 5 months and my daughter has learned no new skills. I realize she needs to take several hours a week to get many accomplishments in gymnastics. She is only in a rec class. My issue is that the coaches don't really seem to care if she gets any new skills. They rarely spot the students. It is as if they are just going through a "process" week after week. They don't "get it" that parents are paying for their child to learn/improve in gymnastics. They have no vested interested, it seems that this is just a job to them and they don't really give their best efforts. I get it they are young and just minimum wage employees, but I am really frustrated with the investment and care for the students by the teachers.

Holy cow. Took my little girl there today for tryouts (she was a level 4 in California where we…read morecame from) and they were dropping girls from the pyramid and girls were getting hurt. One little girl ran off crying because of one coaches yelling at her. Found out later it was the coaches daughter. The gym is dirty and awful. Found out the owners were from Nixa (where ever that is) and they look down on anyone that lives in Springfield. Finally one of the coaches almost got my daughter hurt by forcing a scared little girl to go on a pyramid that fell and would have went head first into the floor if it wasn't for my daughter. Needless to say I went elsewhere.

Paid for my four year old to celebrate her birthday there this week. I was actually embarrassed by…read morethe worker yelling at the children. At one point the 2-12 year olds weren't moving fast enough while exiting the gym to go to the party room so she began yelling a countdown at them in a horrible tone. I don't yell at my own children that way so I didn't appreciate having somebody I am paying a good chunk of money to doing it. Only 1 hour was allotted for play time (30 minutes in each gym) and by the time the one worker there harnessed the kids up for the zip line, it was time to get out. Multiple parents were appalled at the manners of the employee and her complete impatience with the kids. I would absolutely not recommend going here.

Rude, dishonest, condescending, heartless manager. (Older…read moreblonde lady behind snack counter.) She truly couldn't care less about your kids or their experience here. Just how efficiently she can swindle you. Attended here for months before realizing there was some super sketchy behavior. True colors always come to the surface, unfortunately not before they did damage. Hopefully you can avoid the experience my kiddo's had to endure due to crooked adults. Don't expect things to make sense here or the manager to have any moral compass, obligations or compassion in any manner. She claims the owner will stand with her distasteful behavior and that's incredibly unfortunate.

Nixa's pool has been under construction forever and even when it is open it is outside. Republic is outside too. Enter the good old YMCA. Their swim program is well managed in the hands is Marcella. Their program is positive and dependent and the swim team price is very manageable. I am so happy with the swimming I haven't even begun to check out their amazing classes.

They have fitness classes daily and open swim times in their basement pool. It's really great the way it is divided into different levels depending on what you are looking for. Most of the weight machines plus free weights and indoor rock climbing are in 2nd floor. The 3rd floor has a track which goes around the entire upstairs and mainly has cardio equipment. The weights include the only four way neck machine I have seen at a commercial gym. They also have a deadlift platform, power racks, pull-up machine, dumbbells to 120 lbs. Plus they have too many extras to mention. It's a great place that does a lot of good for the community with kids activities and a true health focus. I live close enough to walk and feel very fortunate to live so near. Highly recommend!
