Great place! Lots of caring and invested coaches. Very good price. Great environment for kids to enjoy learning to wrestle. They even run a used shoe exchange so that you don't have to go buy expensive wrestling shoes. Highly recommend it.

We recently signed up for the gymnastics program and so far it’s been great! Local and affordable also the coaches work well with my 6 year old who absolutely loves coming here.

Not wiling to coach children for Gymnastics. Expects 3-4 year olds to stand still and do exactly what they are told to do without any distractions or they will be kicked out of the program. Not a realistic environment to prepare a child for Gymnastics.

I took my daughter to a free trail class after finding this place in Facebook. I called and spoke with Veronica. She set everything up and my daughter went in for the class. Veronica and the woman sitting for the check in seemed very unprofessional. I told them my daughter was here for the class they were friendly but seemed like they really didn’t care. I asked Veronica if my daughter could start as I needed to run to the car and she said yes that’s fine. I went out to my car and when I came back in my daughter was standing around. I asked them where she should go and Veronica said “. Oh I’m sorry I thought she was here from the previous class just waiting for a ride. I didn’t put her together with you.” I must admit that made me feel like they really didn’t care and she didn’t pay attention at all when I introduced her to my daughter. The instructors seemed very nice and my daughter enjoyed the class so I called back to enroll her and when I got the receipt I was charged for the free class and a $25.00 annual fee. I called Veronica to ask why I was charged the extra fees as she never told me about them. Veronica replied “ well it’s on our website” I then explained I found them on Facebook so I was surprised about the extra charges. Veronica replied “well you can go check out our website, it’s all over the website”. I asked her if they would waive the fee for the class that she said was free and she said no. Apparently they have enough kids that they don’t need new ones.
