Everything from the…read moreOwner, to the organization of the competitions, information shared about rules, schedules, changes of schedule, to the gym facilities, which is in a shady warehouse, is handled in an amateur, unprofessional and rude fashion. They only see you as a cash cow, not as a customer (and the membership is twice as expensive as the fanciest gym) and if you complain about anything, they have zero accountability or interest to resolve it. The gym has no limit of people there, they accept everyone, making the experience crowded and not personalized. And yet they don't renovate the facilities nor upgrade their employees. For example, competitions time are scheduled with less than 24h of information. This is unacceptable. They make you drive your child 3h ahead to a far place which is chaotic from an organization standpoint, they put the teams waiting in hallways for to perform less than 2 mins with a team of about 30 people at a time. They don't communicate that they don't want parents in certain areas. There's a woman, Coach Jessica, who treats athletes and parents in a bully and rude way. Both me and my daughter experienced this from her. She doesn't ask, she yells at you, she undermines girls self-esteem and when you complain, the owner's response is unprofessional and protective, instead of acknowledging that there's a recurring issue with this person who works for him. I have never experienced such a poor behavior from a business like this. They post pictures of your kids on their social media without permission and block you from taking pictures of your own child. They shouldn't be in business.

Again, I do not troll businesses. I have made factual reviews... why would this be any different. The email from the owner was very flippant... esp after I attempted to help her build her business and keep the business of the people who were flocking to get out. Additionally, I have time to provide reviews to the public. And contray to what you have made up (which was poor business sense), I dont believe life has left me behind.

She has been taking both the tumbling and gymnastics class. Her coaches have been refusing to move her up to a higher ranking class because she "cries" too much. Their words not mine. They are treating my 6 year old niece differently compared to the other kids in the class. The day of scoring my niece had received the same exact scores as another kid in her class, but they decided not to move up my niece to a new class ranking. Instead, they moved the other kid up. Instead of talking bad about a 6 year old to the other coaches, they should come to the parent. It doesn't make sense why a child is being held back in a class because they are "crying" too much. She is 6! Of course she is going to cry! It is expected for a child to cry when they mess up. Maybe, this academy needs new coaches who understand children. Or maybe the coaches just need to start treating the kids with more respect. The coaches need to learn how to redirect the children when they are upset about messing up. The coaches need to learn how to be better!

The bathhouse was clean and had hot water. Most campsites only have lukewarm or cold water. There were also an abundance of toilet facilities and they were well maintained/cleaned. The view of the Potomac was breathtaking and the only downfall was that the camping sites are relatively close to each other both on the mountain and at the river's edge.

Several walked by saying hello with smiles. Again, coming from MoCo, I was like "Maybe moving to Northern Virginia is worth the cost". The bathrooms are a bit outdated, but not a deal breaker. It is still relatively clean like the rest of the facilities. The kitchen to the community room that my friends rented out had a lot of appliances (4 air fryers) and a large oven for reheating. I thought that was pretty cool. Also, I saw two woks there. This threw me offguard honestly.
