My gym has been very helpful in her building her physical and social skills. She loves the skills stations and that every week it is a different adventure.

I have 3 kids. my son is a free spirt but has always loved going there. sadly the staff is so…read morepoorly trained that they don't know how to deal with children. I recently had them there for a sleepunder. My son split his ear open and I was never contacted. but the coach said my 6 yo who was there to have fun was fine so they didn't feel the need to call. you have a head injury with blood and they aren't trained to call the parents. THIS IS A JOKE. my husband spoke with the owner and she apologized- it was a great conversation. then a day later I got an email canceling all my future camps and was told no one in my family is welcome back. UNREAL. I'd be very cautious with their care and compassion if you send your children there!!!! awful treatment.

Great program, knowledgeable coaches, and clean facilities! Very happy with this program!read more

My 3 year old daughter went here for 2 months until an instructor mocked her and made her cry. I…read moredon't pay for my child to be mocked and bullied by an adult. She left and said I dont want to come here anymore. Its a nice place but I would expect more professional instructors. The instructors are very young (they look like they're 15) except for the mean overweight one. If you don't like kids you shouldnt be working with them. I am disappointed and I honestly believe a park district would treat my daughter better than these instructors. Dont waste your time here.

Well Earned 5 Star Review. My second visit here @ Pineapple Dance Studio and I'm still amazed…read more Last Night I treated myself to a Valentine's Relaxation Day. I guess since this was Valentine's I was the only one who attended the class. Which was nice because this was my first time taking a Aerial Yoga Class. It gave me a chance to have an one on one time with the instructor. Amy the instructor was very calm and patient. She made sure that I was comfortable and relax. The Love Oil had an nice aroma scent in which she put a tab of it on the inside of my wrist. It really helped me to relax and stay focus. She dim the lights and we did some warm up aerial conditioning in the silk blue hammocks. It helped me to improve my balance and strength. No, lie I was a bit nervous but her calmness helped me to relax and gain confidence. The music was so soft and inviting to the atmosphere. Pineapple Dance Studio is a place where you feel calm and soothing. Professional instructor who is patient and take time to make you feel comfortable.

Belly Dancing? Me? When a friend suggested that I take up Belly Dancing, I could barely talk I was…read morelaughing so hard. After all, what the heck would I do with my hips? Well let me tell you- hips and tummy rule in this class and once you learn to isolate your core and move only the right parts, you actually feel like you can do anything. As for me? I didn't even know my hips could move like that. Somewhere inside all of us is a hip swiveling, gyrating dancer just waiting to get out! And once that music starts- you are hard pressed to do anything but move! I rarely tie anything around my hips (after all- they really don't need any more attention!) but here in this class- tie on a sparkly hip scarf and you are transformed! Classes are offered throughout the week with a beginner class on Wednesday and Saturday. And don't fear if you have never done this before- the instructor makes everyone feel welcome and trust me- there are others in the class who are worse belly dancers than you! Shocked the heck out of me! This has to be one of the most fun ways to get exercise that I can remember. My arms looked like twining snakes, circling my body and while my shimmy needs a little work (might be the age of my chassis- Ha!) by the end of the class I was one with the music! I can't wait to move up to finger cymbals! If Belly dancing is not your thing- Pineapple also offers Zumba, West African Dancing and Piloxing which is sort of a hybrid between Pilates and boxing. Dance classes run $18 each with the exercise classes costing $10 or you can buy a series at a savings. Also know that you need to pre register for the dance classes but you can drop in for Zumba and Piloxing. Belly dancing is the oldest recorded dance form. As Shakira sang in that song from a few years ago "The hips don't lie!. But trust me- in this class - they are certainly telling quite a story!

Joined this gym for a few months so me and my daughter would have a safe place to workout…read more Pros: -Nice track where you can run/walk/jog -Teens can workout alone if they complete the orientation -Very family friendly environment Cons: -Machines are very old and a lot don't work. For ex. all of the water bottle holders on the ellipticals are broken, leg machine Velcro strap doesn't work, etc -Parents don't respect not allowing kids (young kids after daycare closes) in the cardio room and it doesn't seem safe them running around in there -Kids classes end at age 14 but all of the workout classes for adults start at 16+. My daughter is 15 and I don't want to keep asking for exceptions.. -Cost is too high for what the facility offers Overall I think this place is best for families or parents with young children. Just was not for me! Also no one ever asked why I wanted to cancel they just cancelled my membership (easy process btw which I appreciated). You'd think a place would want feedback to improve in the future possibly, but nope.

My daughter has been part of the Cheer Destiny program for 3 years now, and we couldn't be happier…read more She started with quad season cheer, and this is our second year doing half season, along with private tumbling lessons.

Please spare yourself from going to this gym. I am sure the programming is excellent. That said, we…read morereceived a confusing and aggressive set of emails from them today. See my review on google with the email exchange. We received not about payment for classes, which I missed (and I admit to be scatterbrained) and this happened previously; so, I understand. They then sent an email saying that we needed to "pay or be banned", and I emailed back that I was confused as we have never been to their gym (so, how could we be banned). And then they decided to note when we last visited their website (2 weeks ago). I asked for clarification again - saying if we pay we are but if we don't we are banned or we were just banned. When my husband chimed in to ask if we could pay immediately, we received another baffling email.

The gym is big and conveniently located, so we really wanted to love it. However, the front desk…read morepersons are cold and unhelpful, you never get to meet the coach in the introductory classes (my daughter has been in class for a year and a half - once a week after school - and we have never met the coach - even after requesting to do so). They told us you could pay a large fee for an hour of private coaching - we said ok - they never got back to us. But they are one of the only gyms in town, so the waitlist is long and they don't have to treat the parents decently (especially the parents of kids who are there to improve skills, coordination, balance, etc. but not be actual gymnasts), because there are always other new families waiting to get in.
