We'd had a few decent events at GAB, but when our 7-year-old took a class there, their true colors…read moreshowed. In the interest of brevity, here are the lowlights: 1. They put her in a class with four more experienced girls, all of whom knew each other - and the "coach" subsequently ignored those girls making fun of our daughter for not knowing as much. 2. When we brought this to the manager's (Keri) attention, they validated our concerns: "Both the coach and I had to stop the class and talk to them about their behavior several times." But their suggested solution was to move our daughter out of the class instead of continuing to make the other children improve their behavior. When I mentioned a partial refund, she couldn't get off the phone quickly enough. 3. We followed up about this numerous times, and after speaking to us twice, Keri stopped returning our calls. Eventually, we had leave work to visit the business in-person - only to be told that it would be best if they gave us a refund for the remainder of the class (but NOT the poor first few classes) and that she stopped attending. It is very clear that GAB is more interested in money than in helping build kids' confidence and manners. We won't be sending any more business their way, and advise others to stay away.

Awful experience for a birthday party at the NORWOOD LOCATION - look for alternatives (ACTON…read moreLOCATION IS GREAT). Had my daughter's birthday party at Gymnastic Academy of Boston in Norwood, and it was a mess from start to finish. VERY poorly organized and badly managed. I had to decorate the party room by myself with the help of other parents since staff was nowhere to be found. Parents were unsure where to go and had to call me to ask for directions. Party didn't start on time since the coached weren't welcoming the kids inside the gym. I wasn't able to attend the actual gym activities and take pictures because I was left with decorating and organizing the party room, including serving all the pizza and cake, making sure that kids were served when they got to the actual room. The place was left to be "run by" 2 young teenage girls, that were also the coaches who were supposed to supervise the kids and coach them through the activities- needless to say how that went.It was clear that they were underqualified, affecting the quality of the event. The only time one of the girls appeared was 10 min before the end to let me know that if we exceed the time, we will have to pay, she did care to say that while I was sweating, serving cake to the kids and even after witnessing that she just left. During the gym time, there was hardly any supervision for the kids, and they were jumping around dangerously, almost hurting each other, I heard that from multiple parents after the event was over (what an embarrassment). To make matters worse, I called the business after and asked to speak with the manager, Cindy, who returned my call after many follow ups. I explained that I would like to see the safety and staff issues addressed and compensation is more than appropriate. She assured me that she will call me back to touch base and never did. I followed up by phone and email and eventually received a reply from one of the employees offering 1 camp day. I replied that are all set for camp and that's far from an appropriate response for the organization and safety issues experienced as paying customers. I have not heard back since. This could have been resolved efficiently if my complaints were recognized and assured to be addressed along with appropriate compensation. Since neither happened I felt being brushed off which aggravated the situation even more. I am not the complaining type but given that this was my daughters birthday party and the feeling of being treated as a nuisance rather than a respected customer I decided to call the higher management and complain not only about how the event went but also about the management's unprofessional and disrespectful behavior towards their customers. I spoke with Jamie, who is the owner of the Acton location, and he was terrific and overall a great manager. He explained that the 3 GAB locations are individually owned, and he is in charge of the Acton location, while Miss Cindy is in charge of the Norwood location and is actually the daughter of the establishing founders. This is really unfortunate because if you have a problem, Cindy is the person in charge and good luck in getting an appropriate problem-solving solution from her or being taken seriously as a paying customer. Jamie really cares about his business and his clients and took full responsibility for our poorly executed event, apologizing for it and offering to throw my kids next bday party in the Acton location. He even mentioned that he tried himself to speak with Cindy about our event but is still waiting to hear back from her since she is traveling (which often seems the case every time I tried to contact her). Jamie successfully salvaged the reputation of the Acton location and I will be more than happy to conduct future business with him. This post is an adequate closure for me to let other present and future paying costumers know how this business operates. Just sad that it affected my daughters special birthday party that we were all so looking forward to.

Despite a demanding practice and competition schedule her grades had improved since joining and she has learned many life lessons as part of the team. The coaches have worked with her to bring her skill levels up but more importantly they have acted as mentors and positive role models. They have built her self-confidence and athletic skills while providing a safe place for her to have fun and make new friends. The other parents, coaches, and kids become a part of one large extended family. We travel together for competitions and we all get together even when we aren't competing. It is lots of fun!

I cheered here for only one official season for my last year of all-star cheer. The previous year,…read moreI was placed on a team and practiced with them only for a portion of the summer. I was going away for a month for vacation and it was part of their attendance policy that I couldn't continue being on the team due to the absences I would accumulate, which I understood. They had asked me if I was still interested when I was back from vacation though. I decided to not cheer competitively that season to focus on school. Definitely don't come here if you can't commit. It's important to attend all of the practices because it is a team sport at the end of the day. It's not fair to others on the team either which is the reason for attendance policy. One person not showing up messes up the plan for the practice & one less stunt group to work on. Cheer gyms, in general, are tough environments to be in but coaches do mean well! The coaches never have ill intent and only want the best for you. Just know that you will miss a lot of important events such as birthday parties, etc but that's part of the commitment & what you sign up for. You can't expect to go to comps and expect to win if you only put 50% effort. Mentality & simply just showing up to put in the work plays a large role... in not only cheer but life in general. I had a great experience cheering here and wouldn't have wanted to cheer anywhere else for my last year of all-star. It is very costly but rewarding sport! Competitions are super fun and I made friends with many of my teammates, who I still keep in touch with. I was at another cheer gym closer by to where I'm from (South Shore) and this gym is superior; definitely the best cheer gym in New England. People from all over NH, Maine, MA, and I've even met people from NJ come three times a week to practice.

His wife wasn't excellent either but I personally don't remember anything specific about here I was still pretty young so that's why this was so impactful for me. here are some of the sayings that Tommy said to us " What happens in the gym stays in the gym" and "First place wins second is the first loser and their place is just happy to be there". do you see any red flags about that first quote? You should, if you are considering enrolling there please consider this. Please if you do go here listen to your children and ask them about the things that are being said to them. Thank you for reading I have reported this gym to safe sports.
