    I have been to multiple ymca locations. Overall this is my gym of choice for a list of reasons. Let…read moreme tell you the details of this one in specific Environment 5 stars One of the biggest pluses for me going here is definitely the environment here. This gym is a family place. It's never loud in here, ever. No booming music, no kids screaming unless you're in the separate child care area, and most importantly people have equipment etiquette here. The machines are clean, workout area organized well. Everything is just nice. I love that they are faith based and have scripture on the wall. It's very motivating. Love it. Amenities 4.5 stars Another giant plus for this gym is they offer a lot. Courts for all kinds of sports including tennis, pickle ball, basketball. They have a pretty spacious pool as well. They offer childcare for majority of the day at no extra cost to the additional family member ship. They have a nice spacious work out area with lots of equipment. They even have a playground for the kiddos. Tons to offer that other gyms don't. The only thing I can say they don't have like other gyms (And this is being picky) is water massage chairs, sauna, and red light therapy rooms. I know planet fitness and crunch offer these and I think the Y is really missing out here. Value 4.7 stars Now, I know 92 dollars a month is a lot of money but hear me out. If you were to pay for daycare or a babysitter while you work out, that cost alone would be a lot more. Also 92 dollars is for me and my partner so that's 46 dollars each not including our child (which i belive you can add up to 5 or more). So I think thats pretty reasonable compared to other gyms that don't offer half the stuff they do. So I'm more than happy to pay that amount. Overall a 5 star rating coming here. I love everything about this gym and going elsewhere truly just makes me sad. I love the Y and hope I can continue coming here forever!

    They have kids fit my boy love it so we come 3 time a week come and take a look also i do a work outread more

    Love, love, love the Camp Active summer camp at Alamo Gymnastics! This is probably the most…read moreorganized and informative camp I've ever enrolled my kids in. My 9yo daughter went for 2 full weeks (8:00-4:00) and my 5yo son did 2 of their half-days (8:30-1:30). Both kids had a blast this summer! The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. My daughter takes gymnastics classes here, so this camp is just another great service that they offer. Rates are on par with other camps. Electronic devices are prohibited during this active camp, which I think is a great policy! Kids do not need to be plugged in everyday. I like how the kids are grouped by age and each week has a different theme (sports, space exploration, safari, etc.). They do a theme-related craft each day, which is cute. We get a kick out of them, even though some are geared toward a much younger age than my 9yo daughter - we just giggle at those and I tell her how cute she is. She rolls her eyes - it's a lot of fun. They get free play in the little gym from 8:00-8:45 before they break into their age groups. They take a couple of snack breaks (dry snacks provided) and a lunch (parent provides). They go back and forth between the big and little gyms throughout the day, and around pick-up time (4PM), they're usually watching a movie. Sign-in at drop-off and ID check and sign-out at pick-up. You can register week-by-week online. You can uncheck days during the week if you know you won't be sending them every day and only pay for the days they will attend. This worked great when we had a dental appointment scheduled during one of the days, so I only paid for 4 days that week. They have a flexible refund policy too. You can pay an extra $10/day if you need extended care from 4-6 PM. The coach will send you an email the week before camp to introduce themselves and provide camp-specific info. This is a great touch and really helpful for parents to stay informed of procedures and expectations. One tip for them: update your information form that parents fill out to remove the info about swimming, since it's no longer offered during the camp. Other than that, keep doing what you're doing!

    We couldn't have asked for a better experience in any of the classroom's our son was in…read more More specifically, we want to thank Ms. Jennifer and Ms. Ashlee for taking such great care of him as an infant. As any parent that has put a child, especially an infant, into a school knows, it's hard handing that child over and it takes a lot of trust. Both of you provided just that in how you took care of him and constantly communicated with us. We could see how much you cared for him and the other babies. We also want to thank Ms. Miranda and Ms. Kat for the care they show to all the kiddos in their classroom's and for giving our son a great experience. Each day, he is excited to go to school (he literally runs to the door when we ask him if he's ready) and that is because of both of you and how he is treated in the classroom. And lastly, we want to thank Megan and Ms. Christina. It is very apparent to us how passionate you are about the kids that come into La Petite. You both show great care and love, and fiercely protect them. We never saw this kind of care from the precious school he came from, it was all business to them. And while this is a business, you both make it clear that the kids always come first. We can truly see the love and care that the entire facility gives each of the children, so thank you for everything!

    I am writing this review almost a year after my child's disenrollment because I wanted time to…read moreprocess what happened and ensure I was sharing this experience thoughtfully. During that time, my family genuinely loved and appreciated the teachers and staff. We intentionally built positive relationships with staff and regularly showed our appreciation through small gifts. My 17-month-old child was disenrolled effective immediately following a disagreement between Ashlee and me regarding paperwork that I was told needed to be returned the following day. After 14 months of enrollment, I was informed that the center did not have paperwork on file, including documents containing my child's medical history, emergency procedures, and other important information. I expressed confusion and frustration because this was the first time we had ever been told anything was missing. I was then informed that if the paperwork was not returned the following day, my child would not be allowed to attend. As a parent, I found this concerning because the missing paperwork was not something we had knowingly withheld, nor had we previously been informed that it was missing. When I questioned the situation and expressed my concerns, Ashlee responded by saying, "Maybe we're not the right fit for you. I can go grab your kid's things and we can disenroll right now." My husband and I looked at each other in complete disbelief. I told her I felt that response was excessive and respectfully asked if I could wait to speak with Megan or Christina as they had historically been the individuals we were directed to when questions arose. Ashlee told me that the decision was final because she was also in charge. The conversation continued for approximately 30 minutes. I repeatedly tried to understand the rationale behind the decision. I even apologized if I had offended her by referencing Megan and Christina as the individuals in charge. I explained that my understanding came from prior interactions in which Ashlee herself had deferred questions to them when she was uncertain. I also sat down & began completing the paperwork. Despite my efforts to resolve the situation, I was repeatedly told the decision was final. During the conversation, Ashlee stepped away several times to make phone calls & also referenced a prior misunderstanding I had with Megan regarding medication, claiming that I had previously been "warned." This characterization was surprising to me because Megan had never approached me in a manner that suggested I was being reprimanded or warned. Every interaction I had with Megan was respectful, and understanding. The same was true of my interactions with Christina. It is also important to note that I was 8 months pregnant at the time, and this occurred around 6:00 PM on a Monday. Most daycare centers in the area were already closed for tours, yet I was suddenly being told my child no longer had childcare because I questioned a situation involving missing paperwork. What made the situation especially upsetting was that Ashlee stated she had been having a hard day. To this day, it is difficult not to feel that an uneqquiped lead had an emotional reaction and played a role in a permanent decision that significantly impacted my family. The following day, I spoke with Christina and confidently asked that they review the security footage because I knew I had never yelled at Ashlee, despite being told that was reported to management. While frantically touring new childcare centers and taking unexpected PTO that I had hoped to save for my upcoming maternity leave. Christina did call me back after watching the surveillance footage & she didn't see my yell at Ashlee either (no audio just visual clips) but understandably like any professional company, they had to go through with the decision. It would look very poorly on them to backtrack/ not support a teammate. At that point, I informed Christina that even if my child had been welcomed back, I would not have returned. The trust had been broken, both by the immediate disenrollment and by the allegation that I had yelled when I had not. Fortunately, all four childcare centers I toured with all the same perks as this center, accepted my child. Three were prepared to enroll us for the very next day. Several administrators I spoke with expressed concerns with how poorly the situation had been handled. Today, both of my children are thriving at their current daycare. However, I feel compelled to share this experience so that other parents can make informed decisions. My recommendation is that any communication, questions, or concerns be directed to Megan or Christina ONLY. Lastly, I was informed that I would receive a follow-up call from corporate customer service regarding the treatment my family experienced and the circumstances surrounding the disenrollment. Despite being told there would be further investigation, I never received that call. This whole experience was extremely traumatic.
