If anyone looks up what happened to my daughter Tala Parker and how she's fighting for her life…read morewhile facing multiple amputations, and then reads this letter, you can decide what type of people run this establishment. It took them OVER ONE MONTH to refund what they had, while continuing to charge us. Mind you, none of my children even got to attend a single day at this summer camp. We are grieving as a family shattered while they decide what's "fair". What's even more sad is that my 3 year old Tala attended daycare there for quite some time in the past. They are keeping $115 dollars while the rest of the greater community gives support in any way possible. It is not the sum of the money that angers me. It's the inexcusable intention of this decision. Thank God for Tala's current daycare, Little Angels' in Training, that instead of charging us for days she can't attend have instead started a fundraiser in her name. They continue to keep giving support and I will always be grateful of the love they show Tala. Remember this letter when you read Gallops stated family and Christian values. I hope that $115 is used to rewrite their values into these words: Gallop's values is a lifestyle defined by selfishness, cruelty, dishonesty, and a disregard for the well-being of others, and most importantly the well-being of CHILDREN.

Unprofessional Handling & Poor Communication,no refunds…read more I'm writing to express my deep frustration following a troubling interaction at Gallop's Family Center on Industrial Plaza Drive. * Broken promises: I called at 10:00AM today requesting a meeting with a supervisor about my child's camp experience. I was told they would call me back after 12:00PM--but they never did.There was a timeframe window of 12-3 pm the person to call me would be available. * Unacceptable short notice: Arriving in person at 12:45pm, I was abruptly offered a meeting with only 15 minutes' notice (a 1pm meeting), totally ignoring the fact this was meant to include another parent. When I pointed out the short notice, the only alternative was Monday at 11:00AM; earlier times that were verbally mentioned disappeared. * Hostile treatment: Returning to confirm I was still waiting, I was met with accusations of being "demanding," spoken to disrespectfully, and told to leave the premises, even though my child wasn't onsite. * Refund refusal: Their staff refused any refund--citing that "everything goes through the app." When I requested follow-up via email, they refused. * Inconsistent and dismissive: This entire experience revealed serious disorganization and a worrying lack of care--especially concerning from a center trusted to care for children. It's incredibly disappointing to see a center with such positive praise for being "family-like" and "community driven" publicly fall short in delivering basic respect and professionalism.Until they improve communication, transparency, and courtesy, I cannot recommend them.

I like this gym! Great midtown location and It has the power rack for free weight barbell exercises…read morewhich are useful to me. There are other useful machines I find useful like the hip thrust machine- which not all gyms. It seems that they continually work to improve the gym set up. They sometimes change the location of equipment, probably for optimal flow and they get new equipment. For instance , they got the pendulum squat machine recently which I don't know how to use yet, but if I ask Matt (the owner) questions about any equipment, he explains it to me. I appreciate that. Also, Matt was nice to spend time with me talking about nutrition after a body composition scan. You can get that measured there, which can help you monitor your progress, if you have specific goals. Another plus is that he also communicates with other clients via text and replies rather quickly so that is nice to have the communication line open :) They do sales sporadically which can be good for you to get in the door. For example, for Halloween this year they waived the sign-up fee. Also, for Christmas, if you bring in a toy, you can have a free workout. I like how they give back in that way :) They do little cute things like decorate for the place for holidays- love that spirit- and you can get an orange if you come on the weekend :) I see Matt frequently cleaning the equipment and vacuuming which is a good thing. Everyone likes a clean environment to work out! He seems very dedicated to his work, and I admire that about him. Checking in is easy after you download an app called kisi and you use that app on your phone to check in. There is also a fob option if you don't have a smart phone. Just a thing for me is that sometimes it is a bit warm in the gym. Before the winter hit, it is regularly kept at 73 degrees. They also have the heat going in the winter. Also just be aware to cancel, they require a 30 days notice and you must go in person (not online or phone) to cancel. I would not cancel if I am not shifting locations, because I think this gym is great! They have group classes too which is an extra cost. I have not done them myself, but the lady who leads it on Saturday mornings is real pleasant! They seem to have a good little community there for these classes. If I move back the area, I would get a membership again.

I have been going to this gym for many years and I believe it is the best gym that there is…read moreavailable in Tallahassee. The space is always clean, and they have exactly the equipment you need for a good workout and no extra nonsense. The prices have raised from slightly when I started going there in 2020, but I believe that the increase is justified. I would much rather pay extra to go somewhere that is never crowded where I feel comfortable, rather than having to sign a year-long contact with "dues" where I have to wait 20 minutes just to use the squat rack. In fact, I drive 10 minutes out of the way, past two huge commercial gyms that are a 1-minute walk away from me because I prefer this gym so much more. I've come here probably over 200 times in the past couple of years, and there are never more than a couple of people in the gym. It is always clean, and the owners have always been polite with me. The only issue I ever had was that they did not have a dedicated bench press in 2020. Lo and behold, a few months after going there, I walked in, and they had purchased one and had it set up. Amazing. After that, the only other minor grip for me was there was no long rope cable for rope tricep pushdowns. Again, I walk in one day and they had a brand new one. Point being is they are always refurbishing older equipment and bringing in new things that suit the gym. The negative reviews for this gym are a little confusing to me, since they do not seem accurate. Never in the 200+ times I have been here did I feel the space to be "dirty" in any way. Every time I am in Tally, I come here. I am always happy with my choice.
