She's 8 now and looks forward to attending every week. We also signed my son up (7 years old) for the Trampoline and toumbling class which started this summer. He is in love. If you've got a little boy who loves jumping on tramps, learning to do flips and all sorts of other things, this is the place. The instructors are extremely nice, and clearly know what they are talking about. They know how to push the kids to do their best, but never yell or get aggressive like you hear about on those gymnastics horror stories. I watch the kids each week from the observation area and I couldn't be happier with the instruction and support they are getting. One last note, this place offers 'day camp' in the summer (basically day care). The kids get to enjoy all the fun of this huge gymnastics center while being watched by the instructors. My kids only went twice this summer, but it was a life saver as far as babysitting goes. The only problem is my kids beg me to let them go every day even though their mom is home to watch them, lol. If your kids have any interest in gymnastics, give this place a try!

I can't speak to classes that are taught here, but this facility does offer a great…read more "open gym" specifically for pre-schoolers on Tuesday and Friday mornings. For all of $5 for the child (and free for accompanying guardian), your little one can spend an entire hour walking on balance beams, jumping into foam pits, bouncing on trampolines, and doing all sorts of things to burn energy. This is particularly appreciated in the MI winter climate when going outdoors often isn't a reasonable option. They do also offer packets of discounted passes - I think it's only $15 for a pack of 5 passes, making it an incredibly reasonable $3 per session. The location can be bit difficult to find, particularly because the building has a parking lot both in front and back. Best to call for specific directions.

We enrolled our 2 children last August. I was a little…read morenervous because they had never taken gymnastics and this place looked like a very serious gym. I was pleased to learn that not only to they welcome all levels of ability but all ages as well. My daughter loves going to her level 2 class with Miss Emma and our son is doing great in his Ninja Zone class which is teaching him all the agility moves you see on Ninja Warrior. R-Athletics has a wide array of times for classes including ones in the evening which works well for working families like ours. It is pricier than say gymnastics at the Kroc center or GR Parks and Rec but the convenience of having evening and weekend classes as well as the ability to make up missed classes compensates for it. The facility is very nice. Divided into 2 gyms with the smaller/beginner classes on one side and the more advanced gymnasts on the larger side. Having a child in a class on each side (at the same time) I like that both sides are viewable from the center waiting area which is furnished with chairs as wells as a play/coloring area for younger siblings. The instructors/staff are all terrific. Supportive and helpful they do their jobs while ensuring that our kids are having fun and staying safe. Towards the end of the 8 week session you get a written evaluation on the progress your child is making and what they need to work on to advance to the next level. Sessions are 8 weeks but you can start at any time and it will be pro-rated for you.
