As a recent Tucson Transplant, the Tucson J has become one of the most meaningful places in our…read morefamily's life. As a parent and grateful community member, I continue to be impressed by the care, professionalism, and heart that make this place so special. Our experience with the Early Childhood Education program for the past three years has been outstanding. As a parent, the most important thing is trust, and we have real trust in the teachers and leaders. The staff know the children, care about their growth, communicate with families, and create a warm, nurturing environment where kids feel safe, supported, and excited to come each day. The care is high-quality, thoughtful, robust, and flexible, which matters so much for working families and families with different needs. I also deeply appreciate the J's broader commitment to inclusion, especially its programming for individuals with disabilities and families who benefit from extra support. That is one of the things that makes the J feel like more than a gym, preschool, camp, or community center. It is a place that works hard to create belonging. The facilities are excellent and very well maintained. The campus is especially fun in the summer, with the pool, splash pad, camp programming, sports fields, tennis courts, fitness center, classrooms, art spaces, and community gathering areas all working together. It feels like a true community campus where people of all ages can learn, play, connect, and feel welcome. No organization is perfect, but I have a lot of confidence in the people leading the J and in the direction of the community. For families looking for early childhood education, summer camp, fitness, aquatics, arts, inclusion programming, or simply a welcoming place to belong in Tucson, I highly recommend the Tucson J.

When snowbirds are here you can't really get into classes ( most are great) unless you set alarms for yourself and sign up a couple of days ahead. The place skews older and I although there are high school kids there in the afternoons it's not age diverse. Plus side is it's very forgiving and a great place to start weight lifting and more. There are paid programs for that and I think that would be worth it. I belong to a few other places so it's not a problem. I really like yin yoga there and trx . If this is going to be your main place you will be frustrated.

It's $10 to drop in to a practice and play time if you're not a member. I personally find the memberships to be a bit expensive so love this option. You need to have grip socks, which they sell or you can bring your own. I love that they redo the set up of the gym each week so it's a new experience each time. The staff is super friendly and welcoming every time we visit!

As a mother of three, child safety and proper supervision are non-negotiable for me. My experience…read moreat Old Pueblo Gym was unacceptable. Despite being informed of the facility's supervision policies, my daughter sustained a serious injury, breaking two bones in her arm. At the time of the incident, multiple staff members were standing approximately two feet away, engaged in conversation, and failed to notice the injury. I reached my daughter before any staff member responded or intervened. This lack of awareness and response is deeply concerning. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this facility to ANY parents, especially those who expect active, attentive supervision of their children.

Don't waste your money! Started my special-ed 8 year old daughter in beginner tumble class. The…read morebeginner class trained for months leading up to the "Showcase" performance only to be left with a HUGE disappointment. 95% of the children in the showcase were age 5-9 and 5% were 15-18 years old. My daughter was the only beginner placed with the top level experienced teenage performers because the title of the class was "Tumble" and the teenagers were "Tumble 90." Accuracy is accepting that she trained in beginner group and was placed in advance group for the performance. Talk about being made to feel demoralized by all the work she put in. She did do great as a beginner, that is not the point. Your website describes this advanced class well, as attached photo. She enjoyed watching the performers throughout the night but "great time" is fabrication and words that did not come out of my mouth. Hence this review. When we got home she asked why she was with the big kids whom had special dances and none of the kids that were in her class? She was made to feel shame even though she could not express through words how she was made to feel a way on performance day. I pulled management aside immediately after because it was a hugely obvious the disparity why they couldn't figure out a way to put her with all the other beginners, this is where she trained. Why don't we put 8 year olds in a high school basketballl game? Having to explain this situation and advocating for my child, followed with a response, that as a parent I am projecting on a manner of simple right vs. wrong, is a complete joke. Also, tickets for the family to attend needed to be purchased in advance, which we did. Tickets were not collected at the door and many families were let in the door without a ticket as speaking to and witnessing them walk through the door. My child slipped through the cracks when teachers made assignments for this performance day. Every beginner was with beginner groups. I am the ONLY complaint because my daughter was the ONLY beginner with the advance group. When addressed with the owner, unremorsefully replied "she grew up as a gymnast whom performed with older girls." Completely missed the point of SKILL LEVEL on a showcase day. I will never let my daughter to feel this way and take my $1500/year tuition elsewhere. I post this so future parents can be aware of the many hours spent of beginner practice prior to the showcase, to then have them thrown in a random slot for performance day. Please save your money and go to a gym whom can structure their teaching and classes to meet your child's needs for performance day!

I have been nothing but impressed with the Tiny Tinkers program at Copper Creek Elementary. Not…read moreonly the kindness of the teachers but also the program itself. The teachers truly treat our girls like their own. They are kind, funny, understanding and firm when they need to be. Our girls have learned so much from them over the years! Not only do they focus on driving home key social and emotional development skills but also basic everyday life skills. I feel like the lessons I am teaching the girls at home are well modeled at school as well. It not only helps with consistency for the girls but also reinforces what a "good citizen/good friend" would do. The program is great because there is an underlying academic focus that helped prepare the girls for Kindergarten and beyond. Basic foundational skills like the ABCs, handwriting, gross and fine motor skills, etc. are just part of the everyday without making it hard or difficult or making it feel like a chore for the kids. The projects and lessons they do also follow a weekly theme and my girls always look forward to what the next week will bring. Tiny Tinkers has been an amazing part of our girls' early childhood and I am beyond pleased with our decision to send our children through the program.

I could not recommend this before/after school program any higher. At the Mesa Verde PAL Miss Tammy offers excellent science experiments all year round and we could not adore her more! My child is excited about the projects they do and the fun games they get to play. It is much more than just a place to go. The teachers who work here are committed and caring. It makes me happy to know my child has a safe and wonderful place to go to while his parents finish up work for the day. Pro-tip: for those considering STEMazzzing camp for your child, be sure to register for classes as soon as you can! The LEGO, Sharks, and Minecraft classes go quickly. They also offer Physical Education during camp including things like Crossfit for Kids, Baseball, Basketball, and Soccer.
