American Gymnastics and Cheer

There is only one other review for this gymnastics program and it’s also one star — left just two days before mine — it is SPOT ON ACCURATE. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE. We just picked our daughter up from their «summer camp», which is a joke to say the least. It consisted of girls playing on their cell phones, no supervision and no structure. My daughter — who has never had any gymnastics training — was left to her own devices for hours. She told us they watched an «Elmo» movie. At a gymnastics program? These girls aren’t pre-​schoolers. Elmo? The place is nothing more than glorified baby sitting service in a dangerous setting. My wife spoke to the director, Barbara, who promised a credit for the day. When I called and told her we would not be coming back — that we wanted a credit for the rest of the time my daughter was scheduled to be there — Barbara became short and irate and told me «It’s clear your daughter has no interest in gymnastics.» — word for word. Then she hung up on me.
We own a hospitality business in the area. We understand the importance of positive customer reviews by providing excellent customer service. To falsely advertise the camps and to show complete disregard for the children is one thing — to show contempt when a customer questions the program and then rudeness on top of it — that’s something else altogether. I can’t believe this place is in business.
Please, please, please do not send your child here. I promise you, it’s a big mistake.

Do not send your child to this gym. Most coaches are inexperienced and not properly certified. Classes with young children are taught by middle school aged kids and are not qualified to direct preschool aged children. This establishment has reported multiple injuries each year with no one experienced enough to assist as a first responder. The facility is very unsafe and there are numerous very clear safety violations both in and outside of the establishment and the bug infestation has no confirmation of ever being addressed. The newest owner has no experience running a business or coaching and spotting gymnasts and cheerleaders, and has been called out on many occasions questioning inappropriate behavior toward female athletes. The owners are paid to keep the athletes safe and they have been seen disappearing in the middle of a practice and not returning causing the athletes to train on their own in this dangerous sport. The owners display very questionable and unprofessional actions and behaviors and most coaches are unprofessional and neglect and degrade the athletes daily. It is a very negative atmosphere and not at all conducive to a child’s learning and growth. There are many other professional and reputable establishments in the area where your child will receive hands on, professional direction.
