This is my first experience with a gymnastics school, but I'm a big fan of The Rec Room. My newly 4-year-old and almost 6-year-old kids are on their second session of classes here, and I've loved all of their teachers so far. There doesn't seem to be a majorly competitive/pressure-filled vibe here at all. There are kids there who have never taken a class, and some you can tell who have been doing gymnastics since they started walking, but everyone is given the same amount of time and attention.
