So I book open gym through the Pearachute App. I called the day before to make sure they would be…read moreopen: the girl said yes. So arrived with a couple of friends and there were like 13 Other moms with kids in the parking lot. By 10:15am no one showed up. Open gym starts at 10am. There was a sign in the door saying they would be closed Labor Day weekend 31,1,2,3. So they clearly knew this and don't know to communicate with their staff. We all ended up at Altitude Trampoline park and it was great. I was so excited to bring my son to open gym because I was a gymnast for 10 years. But this is beyond frustrating. I drove 30min to get there and waited for 25min. I won't ever waste my time there again. As you can see from the picture they clearly knew it was going to be closed.

I had a great time training here. The coaches were knowledgeable, skilled teachers. The staff and…read moreowner very friendly, helpful and fair. Good facilities with a large variety of classes to choose from in a convenient location. I'm really sad to see it close.

We have been at Empire for a little over 2 years and to say that my daughter has excelled would…read moreprobably be an understatement because she has exceeded expectations. The coaches truly coach, genuinely care, and openly communicate to the gymnasts as well as to the parents. Their priority is on safety and honing in on each gymnasts individualism, it is so beautiful to watch and be apart of. The staff is top tier, communication in this fun yet stressful environment is key and the office manager is always 2 to 10 steps ahead, it is refreshing. The parents and gymnasts are inclusive and do so many fun activities/events outside of the gym, away from gymnastics. I am so happy to have my daughter be apart of the Empire family and I recommend any and everyone to bring their children and join because this environment goes beyond gymnastics; problem solving, daily exercise, making friends (parents and kids), and learning fun new skills that can be utilized in other sports and aspects of life.

My daughter was an optional gymnast at Empire for several years, but we chose to leave after the…read moreowner told me that her number one priority is protecting the coaches over the gymnasts. She was livid that my daughter told us things that happened at practice, saying she could no longer trust my daughter, as she expects the girls to keep secrets from their parents. They also enroll way too many kids for the number of coaches. My daughter was seriously injured when she fell from the bars when the coach walked away while he should have been spotting her. There were too many kids for the number of coaches and they had knocked the mats out from under the bar, so her fall wasn't cushioned. No coach even called us; my daughter had to call to be picked up for X-rays. (The coach made her call from the coach's phone for proof they had contacted us, but she told my daughter she didn't actually want to talk to us.). And when we arrived to take her to the ER, the head coach did not even come speak to us about the injury. Empire will take your money. But they won't keep your child's well being at the forefront. They will expect her to keep secrets, and if she gets hurt at practice, they won't take care of her. So just be warned.
