Very Disappointed of the 5-year-old gymnastics class led by Jacklyn Navarro. After attending…read morethree sessions, the same issue has occurred each time: the coach spends approximately 40 minutes of the class sitting in the corner, without getting up to guide, observe, or interact with the children. While the warm-up is appropriate, once the stations begin, there is no active coaching. The children rotate through the equipment with no correction, no instruction, and no encouragement. They repeat the same movements incorrectly and do not receive any feedback on how to improve. The only station that receives any attention is the one closest to where she is seated. This results in: Children not learning or progressing Repeated mistakes with no guidance Bored and disengaged kids who are not developing confidence or interest in the sport At this age, children need a coach who is moving with them, observing, correcting form, and encouraging them -- not someone sitting apart from the class for most of the session. This is in clear contrast to our experience at Signature Gymnastics, where the coach was active, attentive, supportive, and involved. I am requesting that coaching expectations for this age group be reviewed. The children deserve active instruction and engagement from their coach.

Nothing like I expected. Very disappointed. Much room for improvement. Not a confidence builder for…read moreyoung dancers.

For the second time, I attended a grand-darling's birthday celebration at this venue.  Friendly…read morecoach James was present again, and he enthusiastically and energetically led the kids through an hour of fun and energy-burning gym activities.  They then settled down for a pizza and cake celebration lunch.  All in attendance had a great time, including the adults, who enjoyed watching the fun as much and/or as closely as they liked.  This second time around, I was really impressed with James as it takes a lot of energy to keep these kids busy and happy for an hour.  Maybe I'm just getting old, and I impress more easily on stuff like this lol.   Anyway, if you have active kiddos, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place as a fun birthday celebration venue.  I don't know what it costs, but I have a feeling it's very reasonable, and you will have to await a review from my daughter for that aspect.

The teachers here are great and my children look forward to going to class every week…read more That is the ONLY reason we continue to attend classes here. The management of the facility is terrible for three main reasons: 1. Parking is a huge problem but the restriction on the front door makes the situation worse. There is a requirement to park behind the building and use the back door. In fact, there are threats posted inside the facility that if you are caught using the front door, your child will be dropped from the program. The problem is that there isn't nearly enough parking in the back of the building to accommodate all students. So most parents have to park on the street and walk down either side of the building. The problem is that there are always cars circling the building trying to find that parking in the back, so it's important to make sure your kids are pressed against the side of the building so they aren't hit by a car. I dread coming here in the winter when it gets dark earlier because I worry about the safety of kids arriving and departing from class. It's unclear why only employees are allowed to use the front door. It would seem smarter to relocate the reception desk to the front of the building and allow paying customers to come in that way safely. 2. The place is not very clean and lacks basic services like modern restrooms and working vending machines. So make sure your kids pee at home first and if you forget to bring a water bottle - too bad, you're heading to the gas station down the street. 3. It's too difficult for them to answer the phone. The recorded answer doesn't even indicate the company name and the voicemail box is always full. I found this out when I called to ask if the classes were taking place on a major Jewish holiday. Tried several times over the day and no answer. Yet when I arrived, the receptionist was calmly sitting there playing on her own phone because...priorities.
