    Abra has one of a kind energy! We attended an event there this past weekend and the facility was…read moresuper clean and prepared for the event. They were thorough making sure those that entered had clean shoes and sanitized hands. Staff was kind, helpful and friendly. It was a long day and staff stayed high energy and diligent throughout. Thanks for a great event!

    I'll preface this by saying I believe USC is probably the best option in the area. I have had two…read morekids going here for roughly a year plus. Pros: facility is solid it has a lot of potential activities and different ways kids can grow and learn gymnastics. They also have a play area which is clutch for dealing with kids who don't have class at the same time. Cons: teachers look often inexperienced and turnover is common. First few months we had two younger but quite vocal and directed coaches. Now it's tricky. In my other class we have more experienced coaches, but midway through the class they tend to lose focus and kids are sorta all over the place. They have some odd rules and enforce or change them at what seems random. Sit in the wrong spot? They'll announce a general warning not to do that. Bring your kids to the door that they used to let them in last week that without warning was changed to the other one? You bet that's gonna be a public service announcement about you messing up. Overall: experience is going to be class dependent especially with the teachers. If I knew there was a clearly better option I'd probably take it. As of now I believe USC is probably the best option in the area.

    Had the best time having our 4 year old birthday party here! They make it unbelievably easy for…read moreparents. All you have to do is order some pizza, drinks and cake. Everything else is taken care of. Decorations not necessary given the space. They even have tablecloths and serve the pizza for you. Staffing was excellent- great employee to kid ratios. I would say it's best for ages 4 and up, not younger toddlers. The only downsides are you do have to book at midnight the time it opens 2 months ahead if you want a guaranteed spot (even then may not get it!). Fairly pricey, and if over base amount of kids included gets even pricier. It was definitely worth it given everything they do.

    My daughter, now 8, has attended Encore's summer camps in previous years when she was 6 and 7. She…read moreis autistic--funny, sweet, and energetic--but she can sometimes struggle with following directions. When she first attended at 6, we had a great experience, and even spoke with someone who said they specialized in supporting children with special needs. That gave us a lot of confidence in returning the following summer. When she was 7, we enrolled her for several weeks in the afternoons after her summer school program. We were assured that she was welcome and that there would be no issues. The first week went smoothly. During the second week, however, we were told she wasn't staying with the group the entire time and that it was a safety concern. Instead of working with us on strategies or accommodations, we were abruptly told it would be best if she not return for the rest of the summer. This left us without childcare for weeks during a time when both my spouse and I work full‑time. Despite that experience, we still hoped things could be different this year. Our daughter has grown a lot, and with ADHD medication, many of the behaviors they struggled with have improved significantly. We planned to sign her--and our son--up for just one week. But when I tried to register, I discovered there was a hold on our account. After calling and being told someone would get back to me, I was later informed that they were "too worried" about my daughter being a problem again. No one asked whether anything had changed since last year. Instead, I was told we could send her only if we provided an aide or a family member to supervise her the entire time. If we had a family member available to supervise, we wouldn't need a camp. And paying for an aide on top of an already expensive camp simply isn't feasible for most families. My advice to other parents: if your child is autistic, on the spectrum, or simply not a perfectly rule‑following child, think carefully before signing up. In our experience, Encore did not offer support, collaboration, or solutions--only exclusion. It's painful to see an 8‑year‑old who means no harm turned away instead of being met with understanding and partnership. Families deserve better, and so do our kids. I am giving this two stars because I imagine if you have neurotypical children the camp is fine.

    Well we're canceling our membership but still run through August. We are waiting outside right now…read morefor our 4 year olds class that was supposed to start 15 minutes ago. No one has the keys to open up the gym. No pride of ownership from the owners. Don't waste your time here.

    If I could give 0 stars I would. We started in January 2024...and loved it! Recommended it to…read moreeveryone...then came the new owners. We went through 5 or 6 coaches(honestly could have been more but for sure not less). My daughter tried out and made pre team...we decided against it when we were told it would start in July...well July came and went and nothing. Pretty sure pre team didn't start until September. My daughter moved up to beginner 2 and her first day in the class she was bullied by another student and told to stop doing what the coach told her to do and pushed her, the coach did nothing. My daughter's shoes were stolen and they did nothing...just told me to take the other child's pair of shoes after class. The a few weeks later her coach came out and approached me at my car rudely about my daughters crocs and then tried to insinuate that we took someone else's. The second to last class we were at the coach for beginner 1 was sitting on the floor just talking to a student not helping the other children with their stations and making sure they were doing things correctly. During conditioning the coaches don't watch the kids to make sure they are doing things safely...instead they just sit and talk with themselves. When I brought this to their attention I was told "since it wasn't brought to their attention when it happened they couldn't do anything". I told them we would not be returning, after already being gone for 2 weeks and was told I had to stay until the end of the month. We haven't been back in 4/5 weeks and they are still trying to charge me. I had to put a block through my bank so they couldn't charge me and call them to reiterate I wasn't paying and we would not be returning. They also gave me the run around for 2 days about canceling. They just want your money and do not care about the children. Editing to add that as of today, December 25th they are still trying to charge me when I cancelled with them over a month ago!
