The building definitely shows it age, but it still has that local rink feel to it. ** This review is really only in regards to the ice rink part, and not the pool, gym or gymnastics facility areas as I haven't used them much at all. ** I think they've done a decent job with upkeep and it seems they still get good business from high school programs and the in house team (Renegades) . I frequent these days mostly for mens league (dad plays) and it has certainly been steady thus far. I do feel the locker rooms are a negative, as players have to carry their gear upstairs, and they do not boast a lot of space. Time to time their tends to be a smell, but hey, it's a hockey rink I suppose. At the end of the day, the place gets the job done and still holds that local charm.

I was here with my 5 year old son for a birthday party. It's not terrible, but it is considerably…read moresmaller and less tidy than International Gymnastics in Mt. Prospect. Located in a office court off of West Lake Ave., this is a former factory converted into a gym. The conversion is not quite complete in my opinion. There is a kids fun gym and another, larger and more sophisticated, gym with advanced equipment. We were in the smaller gym and it looks rough around the edges. (see photos) Still, it was fun for the kids. They accommodated a group of thirty 5 & 6 year olds and managed the group very well, God bless their souls. I found it somewhat disturbing when we received a birthday invitation from the place and it had a waiver sheet folded and tucked into the pre-printed invite card from Dreams.The waiver, which had to be signed by a parent and witnessed by a gym employee, had a lengthy list of various and increasingly gruesome potential injuries possible, ranging from simple bruises to torn muscles, fractures and paralysis. Strange we did not have guests need to sign one for a party at International Gymnastics. Seeing the potential dangers and risks, I was tempted to send in my fearless Stunt Baby to substitute for my older son at the party, but my 5 year old handled it just fine. There were two instructors who had the kids do warmups and run a basic obstacle course, followed by extensive play in their sponge cube pit. They also had a Tumble Track trampoline next to the pit for the more adventurous jumpers. The instructors (Nicki and Vicki) did a great job keeping track of the kids and making sure they played safely. At the same time, the gym leaves a lot to be desired. The sides of the sponge pit are not padded like at International Gymnastics. Columns in the gym are crudely padded with folded mats wrapped in duct tape. The truck bay doors are covered in large sheets of clear plastic. There are stacks of insulation panels piled up on the sides above the party rooms. The condition of the padded floor, carpeting, mats, and the sponge cubes even, shows a significant amount of wear. The party room itself was a bit crowded but fit 30 kids at a series of long tables. A second party room down the hall allows them to have one party after another while alternating rooms. Therefore, we were not rushed to get out promptly at the designated end time. Certainly a good time but as a family we're sticking with International Gymnastics for classes and parties in the future.
