I've only lived in Pekin four years but it was past time to get a place like this. Pekin has a tumbling place geared towards what I would consider the highly competitive, at least in my opinion that my child tried and didn't like. Pekin Park Dept. has a tumbling program that my child attended prior to Aerial Athletics and loved it, but could quickly outgrow. Before trying both places in Pekin my child went to two places in Peoria that were larger and had more options. Aerial Athletics brought these options to Pekin, and at a competitive price. My child is loving Aerial Athletics and is progressing, which is something that can be a struggle at bigger places because of the class sizes and lack of knowledge by the teachers. We have not experienced that here at Aerial Athletics. The person running Aerial Athletics is extremely involved with the classes and training/overseeing new teachers. They use a parent portal to see the schedule and register for classes. Their Facebook page is utilized to get out reminders and events. They are highly responsive when you contact them. So far Aerial Athletics seems to be a great benefit added to the Pekin community. read more
