I had my son in lessons there for 3 months, he had 3 different teachers and each time I was impressed. I appreciate the one-on-one time he got to with each instructor. Each lesson he worked on multiple techniques. After each set of lessons, we were given a detailed report card with info on what he needed to improve upon. Also! At the end of each set of lessons the kids get to jump off the diving board, which is super neat and definitely something they look forward to!

We enrolled our daughter at Zenith West Gymnastics in 2021. We invested thousands of dollars and…read morecountless hours into the program. We were trusting them with supporting our daughter and her emotional and physical development. We expected safety, truth, and respect. What we received in return was not only disappointing--it was deeply damaging. Unfortunately, our time ended with a complete breakdown of trust, accountability, and professionalism on their part. This isn't an isolated incident. Look at the reviews: * Children shamed, bullied, and humiliated--with no protection or empathy. * Parents silenced, brushed off, or retaliated against for voicing concerns. * Multiple accusations of intimidation and toxic culture. * A pattern of deleting or suppressing negative reviews to maintain an illusion of integrity. Favoritism runs rampant. Sloppy business practices at best. Lies and cover ups. A disgraceful lack of partnership with parents. Closed practices..... seems suspicious. I should have trusted my gut, and these reviews. Despite claiming a zero-tolerance policy for bullying, violence, and body-shaming, their actions suggest otherwise. The fine print at the bottom of their handbook may protect them legally--but ethically, it exposes a troubling truth: policies at Zenith West aren't meant to guide or protect; they're meant to shield leadership from accountability. To anyone considering this gym: Read the reviews they can't delete. Ask questions. Trust your instincts. This post isn't just for her. It's for every young athlete whose voice was ignored, whose spirit was dimmed, and whose potential was overshadowed by poor leadership. You deserve better. Your kids deserve better. -- Megan Montgomery (Educator, mother of two, and advocate for kids who deserve better than this.)

She engages with the kids well and always makes sure the learning environment is interactive and safe. Our daughter is now almost one year old and is extremely sociable, outgoing, and engaging and we believe Kindermusik is a big reason why. She gets extra giggly and bouncy from the moment we walk into the building for her weekly class. We highly recommend Kiddos and Kin. Sometimes I think I have more fun in the class than my baby. I learn a lot of great songs and tools for playing with my child and I know it helps our bond.

He's the best at recognizing talent and developing talent. However, it's always up to the boxer to be motivated and to put in the hard work that's required to be a great boxer.

Tom Mustin is the main coach and has been head coach for the 2000 olympics. Out of this gym have come out world champions such as Rocky Lockridge and Johnny Bumphus and also olympians Davie Armstrong, Leo Randolph, Sugar Ray Seales, and current Queen Underwood. THe guys are constantly qualifying for national teams and Junior Olympics. At local competitions, we ALWAYS blow out all the Seattle teams...ALL. Tom Mustin focuses on technical boxing and not "knockout boxing" like all these other gyms, which is why it has been so successful. Not to mention the price is CHEAP. $10/month for adults and $5/month for adolescents. They also pay for all the trips whether they be vehicle or flights. Practices are Mon-Thurs from 5:30pm - 8/9pm....sometimes weekends for competitions. Sparring sessions are Wednesdays and Thursdays for those looking to compete. We also often have firefighters and officers train there for competitions.

As a mom of three, I'm always on the hunt for a good playground/park. The Fircrest Tot-Lot was…read morerecommended by one of my best friends as she regularly takes her toddler here, so we met up to let the kids play one day. The biggest draw to this place is that the park is fully fenced in. If you have a runner, they can only get as far as the fence (as long as they don't know how to unlock it!) My kids aren't runners, but I like knowing that I can see anybody who is coming and going from the park at all times at the one entrance. The playground equipment is decent. I'd say it's geared towards kids who are little older (3+) as my two year old at the time was much too small and timid to attempt going on any of it. They had swings as well and some climbing structures which she was really interested in. The interesting thing about this park is that they have a ton of random toys strewn across the park. Riding toys, building toys, music toys... I'm assuming people come and donate them and just leave them, because there was no rhyme or reason and kids were just going at them like a free for all. Some of them were in iffy condition, but they didn't mind too much. All in all, it's a good little park! Definitely worth the stop if you're looking for safe, fun park in Fircrest.
