Ugh. Where do I start? My daughter attended this gym for over a year and never made progress. My daughter has the potential to be taught, to learn and to make progress which made it frustrating that she never made progress. I had her in the recreational practices with the hope she would eventually move to teams. Many of the coaches used for the recreational practices have no gymnastics experience. Some days lessons were a joke. Theres lots of standing around, watching the instructor show a skill and more standing around because a child doesnt know what or how to do a skills. The coach demonstrates a skill and expects the kids to do it, correct or incorrectly. They dont provide direct guidance or teaching on how the child can individually correct or improve their skill. Practices were an hour long heres an example of their schedule for girls recreational. -start in line sitting next to mat -finally start class with ~15 minutes stretching/warm ups -1st water/potty break ~5 minutes (because stretching was so exhausting a break is immediately needed to allow the body time to cool down -Beam or Bars (they say they alternate beams and bars every other week, but they dont and they dont practice both skills every week ) ~10 minutes -2nd water/potty break ~5 minutes -Floor exercises (splits, cartwheels, some rolling etc.) ~10 minutes -3rd water/potty break ~5 minutes -Finish with jumping on trampoline ~5-10 minutes There are so many water/potty breaks for a 1 hour class. Im all about staying hydrated but 3 water/potty breaks in an hour is just killing time. It would be nice to see coaches provide more guidance especially early on when the children are learning skills that they will use as they advance and grow. Properly teaching them the skills early on is vital in ensuring they are performing a skill safely and correctly, this step is completely missed for beginners at this gym. It would be nice to se the courses be structured a bit different where the students first learn skills and safety on the floor. Once a student has obtained the basic skills on the floor then they move to bars, again focusing on fundamentals skills and safety of the bars. Once bars are mastered then they go to the beam. And once a child has met all the basic fundamentals of all 3 skills individually then they move up to a class that combines all three. Now the teams, we didnt make it that far, so I cant speak about the teams but they seemed to be a bit more structured, we really wanted to get there but lost hope and faith in the gym as there wasnt guidance and structure in the beginning to get us there, with a child who has potential. Lastly, they never could keep coaches. So a new coach would come in, they would seem lost and didnt know what to do and for a few weeks the class would seem to be at a standstill. As things would pick up with the coach they would be rotated to another class or quit, and the class would yet again have another new coach. No consistency. Sad, my daughter wants to do gymnastics so bad, she has the drive, desire and ability to progress but it just wasnt happening here. As with any business there are areas for improvement and I hope they can improve their classes for beginners. I would be curious to know how many students they loose early on, seems like a lot as my daughters class always had kids coming and going.
