The instructor did an amazing job rotating through activities around the gym -- trampoline, foam pit, dodge ball, tag, ending on the much anticipated ninja course. He struck a really good balance of keeping things fun, while also keeping the boys in check to not get too wild. The private party room was excellent as well. It's a really great balcony setup to observe for the parents that stayed to watch. The helpers in the party room did a great job of keeping the flow (setting up tables, bringing out cake, cleaning up, etc). I really recommend this place for a birthday party. It was a really well run and a great unique birthday event.

Think twice before you trial any competitive program here…read more Our daughter spent two years on team and almost quit the sport entirely. In her last season she experienced retaliation from a coach, emotionally immature leadership, and conduct that violated their own handbook. When concerns were raised by multiple families, ownership declined to meet and responded with: "We believe we can move forward from here and work towards a positive season." Our daughter was eight years old. She lost confidence. She lost skills. Schedules changed constantly. Classes were added mid-season at an extra cost because, in their own words, they had too many girls to teach new routines at once. The list goes on. If you do choose to trial, ask about attrition. We are aware of at least five or six girls leaving a team of fifteen this season alone. That speaks volumes. Competitive gymnastics demands clear communication and genuine investment in every child. You will not find that here.

I am so impressed with Northshore Gymnastics Center! I tried a bunch of gymnastics programs as a…read morekid, and when I signed my daughter up for her first season, I expected it to be about the same. I was blown away! The facility is beautifully updated with new equipment that is used well by the coaches to help teach the fundamentals and build a solid physical foundation. The gym is clean, inviting, and absolutely buzzing with activity. It's so fun watching all the different levels giving it their all and having a blast. We loved the coach, and watching from the observation area, I was really impressed with the caliber of instruction and serious, but genuinely kind manner. As a parent, this was a valuable opportunity for my child to try new, challenging things and also to grow in grit and confidence. We loved it! The only reason I knocked off a star is that they do mandatory rolling enrollment, basically an auto pay type situation. They allow you to opt out under certain conditions, and the staff are really nice, but it would be nice if they offered an option to do one session at a time for the beginning classes, especially.

My kids loved their coaches at Advantage Gymnastics. They came home excited to show what they…read morelearned and eager to go back. Then there was a change in management, which also brought new front desk staff. We have a young child who, before the management change, was allowed to sit on the edge of the mat about 15 feet away and would try to do the moves along with the class. With the old staff, we got an understanding smile and some pleasant conversation. Now? Condescending looks accompanied by comments like, "We'll have to charge you for another lesson if your child is on the floor." It's ATROCIOUS working with Advantage now. Here's what you can look forward to: 1) Frequent unanswered calls with no attempts to reply to voicemail 2) Billing issues (always in the gym's favor) 3) A lack of empathy/understanding/customer service 4) The greediest gym I've ever worked with Seriously, if the coaches weren't solid, we'd run away and never look back.

My son's first attempt here was in a group class and it was a complete fail for him. He is 7 and…read moreautistic and was completely overwhelmed with the wide age range of kids in the class, number of kids in the class and loud personalities of some of the older kids in the class. He couldn't be coaxed out of sitting in the hallway and watched the class from under some chairs until he decided that it was just too much for him at the time. Coach Kyle found out that he had such a negative experience and reached out to me and offered for him to come in again so that he could show him a more positive experience. To say he had a blast would be an understatement. Having a one on one class was a total night and day experience. He was climbing, flipping and vaulting on the equipment from the minute we walked into the gym. Coach Kyle was patient and encouraging and showed him how to properly and safely use the equipment. My son left having had a fabulous time and got a great workout with a huge boost to his confidence. He is fearless and an adrenaline seeker so Parkour is something that he really enjoys and shows an aptitude for. We will continue with one on one classes for the time being and hopefully at some point he can move into a group class but if we need to stay in one on ones, that's totally fine by us as well. It can be tough trying new activities for autistic/neurodivergent kids and I'm really glad that we gave MoveFree Academy a second chance. I would recommend if your child is on the timid side or easily overwhelmed, to start off with a one on one or semi private class to get comfortable before jumping into one of the larger group classes.

From the beginning, Beatrix fell in love with Gymnastics Connection. She has been doing gymnastics since she was 3, but all she remembers now is the Gymnastics Connection. She loves the open gyms, the instruction (cried when we couldn't afford two lessons a week, so I applied for scholarships), and she loves the coaches. After the spring showcase last year, she said she wanted to be a gymnast when she grew up. If I have obligations before or after class, Beatrix is able to sit with them an extra few minutes with a snack until I wade through traffic to get there. Above and beyond, one of the best experiences we have had in Seattle. From front desk (Stephanie Kyla) to Coach Maddy, Coach Megs, Coach Monica... stellar experience. They never turned their noses up to us when the credit card didn't go through. They made us feel like Beatrix belonged there as much as the other kids who don't need scholarships or second, third, fourth credit cards. We love you. We thank you. I wish I could give you guys so much more, but right now, all I can say is you made a positive difference in our lives. Thank you!

Overall, this dance studio is a wonderful place to have your young dancer start dancing. My son…read moretakes tap here and he enjoys it! The studio is sandwiched between PC Restaurant and Five Guys with ample parking space where it is easy to get in and out. They provide a free trial class when you are unsure if the class is going to workout for your child. The school offers ballet, jazz, hip hop, tap, musical theater and adult classes too. Their registration fee is minimal per family and class rates are competitive too. They welcome families every six weeks into the classroom for observation which is a great way to ask questions and connect with your child's teacher. Although, they do not have large observation windows, instructors often keep doors open (if it's not too loud in the waiting area) or are also open to have visitors upon request when families are concern about their child's class. Their website, quarterly newsletters and Facebook page keeps us informed with pertinent details about the studio and upcoming events. If your child loves to perform, this studio is the place to be as they give ample opportunities for your young dancer to perform in the community in their school's companies. One of the factors that I appreciate most at this school is that they seem to keep their faculty constant. Unlike other studios I have experienced in the past, turnovers were high and the staff seemed young and lack on teaching experience. Their faculty genuinely care about their students as individuals. The teachers are well versed in their craft and are educated both with higher education degrees and industry experience in national and international companies. If you have a budding dancer, Washington School of Dance starts as young as 18 months through adults.
