The process was easy and very informative. All our questions from billing, to location, times, instructors, etc were answered at registration. The first class we came in and we were immediately greeted as we approached the front desk. I let them know it was our first visit. They welcomed us, introduced the instructor to me and my daughter and let us know how the process worked. The class is one hour and there is no wasted time. They move from station to station and get instructions on how to do the work they are focusing on. I look around at all the instructors and students and see many, many smiles and excited faces. I see the kids confidence being boosted as they accomplish the task at their skill level. They are challenged and encouraged. Our instructor's name is Faith. She is doing great with her group. Looking around, I see many instructors with kids at different skill levels all doing great things with their students. I am very happy with this gym. The equipment is well padded, the gym has much to offer in a safe environment. They have an excellent observation area right on floor level where things can be seen and heard. There is also a play area for kids not in gymnastics and WiFi is offered to guests.

I love how easy it was to find a class time that worked out, they have so many options. The online portal makes it so easy to sign up, pay, and communicate with the staff.

The guy who helped us and showed my son and his friends how to do auto-belay climbing was so chill and friendly and just a great overall human being. He made the experience so fun for my group of teens. I'm going to stop numbering now, and just talk about Climb Time. It's one of the smaller rock climbing gyms in the area, but it's my teen son's favorite, and he specifically wanted to come here for his birthday, because it's a little more challenging than some of the other rock climbing gyms. There's also a bouldering wall, which he loves. When you walk in, it feels very no-frills: Anyone who comes here really wants to climb. We stayed three hours (which was plenty for teen boys) and it was never crowded, but there were always one or two other people there who looked like they knew what they were doing. They came in, they climbed, and they left. Like I said, this is the place to climb if you love to climb and want a nice, no nonsense experience. I did not climb, but instead posted up on the lobby couch. They offer free wifi here, and I took advantage of that to get a little work done while the kids climbed. There's a small concession area with snack foods like granola bars, protein bars, chips, trail mix, beef sticks, string cheese and treats like M&Ms, Starbursts and cotton candy. There is also cold water for $1, and Monster Energy and Red Bull and protein drinks for $3. There isn't much else in terms of food, though.

Trisha, the person who led the class and who is also the owner, was so warm and welcoming. She led a great flow, and it put me in a great mood to start the special day. Pure Soul provides SUP (stand up paddle board) yoga, so you will find them where there is water around central Indiana: the Canal Walk downtown, but also at the Monon Community Center pool in Carmel, Lakefront at Keystone and other places. I didn't do SUP yoga (our yoga class was on dry land), but I will now seek out a SUP yoga class! Other people around me were talking about their experience with SUP yoga, and it sounds like it's a lot of balancing and core work, which I can get down with. The people I interacted with at Pure Soul were literally pure souls -- so kind, so genuine. I'm so glad that I was able to practice yoga with these guys, and I'm looking forward to doing so again soon.

I've paddle boarded before but it's been awhile and never on the canal. The staff were really friendly and helpful getting everyone settled in their boards. The yoga instructor was awesome and took her time with everyone. The headstand on the board is beyond my capabilities but hey maybe next time! Pure Soul also does paddle boarding on the monon and the Lake at Keystone. They also have multiple yoga classes to chose from. Free session are thru the end of the summer and by raffle only. Definitely worth signing up. It was a blast!!

After roughly 18 consecutive years of being loyal patrons, at the request of our 12 year old…read moredaughter, our family left DeVeau's School of Gymnastics. Our child was made to feel uncomfortable and unsafe by owner/operator, Luke Lautzenheiser. It's been a few months and she still cries daily. DeVeau's coins itself as "...your kid's HAPPY PLACE" but how is that the case when a child is bullied and retaliated against (by the new owner) at the only gym she's known since age 3? This review is not to bash the gym but to share our heartbreaking experience. For my 12 year old child- it's about kids hearing the devastating voice of their peer and her inability to comprehend being bullied and retaliated against by an 'adult' at a place she once called her second home. For us as parents- it's about an unbelievable experience at a place we've loved, raved about and supported for many years and the continual mental trauma our 12 year old daughter suffers from months after making one of the hardest decisions of her little life. DeVeau's isn't the same place it used to be. Now the new owner walks out on the practice floor to intimidate children during practice. It's a place where children who are learning/practicing skills that if not fully focused could potentially cause harm being put in the position to focus on- Is Mr. Luke going to approach me today and if so, when and where? That was our child's focus at practice even with parental support in attendance. After giving notice, Luke still found a way to come after her by having his program manager attempt to keep her from competing at (what my kid calls "Big Kid's Nationals") USA Gymnastics Championships (although she qualified at her first competition) by failing to register her and not telling us until after the deadline. Yes, this happened at DeVeau's. Thankfully, a new gym (out of state) allowed her to join their team and they were able to get that corrected so she could practice and compete at Nationals. Sadly, this is the kind of retaliatory behavior that happens when a child doesn't agree to stay at DeVeau's once the gym owner apologizes after admittedly making her feel uncomfortable. Unfortunately, there are no other trampoline and tumbling programs in the Indianapolis area so our daughter had to give up her dream of continuing the sport for her current safety. There are so many wonderful coaches at DeVeau's and they are the best part of the gym. Even with the traumatic experience our daughter endured, she does have many wonderful memories of her time with coaches she loves. Those experiences are the things we will cherish. Hopefully those memories will help her in her healing process.

The staff were friendly and took safety very seriously. They do a step by step instruction class to properly put on the safety harness and helmet and make sure you know how everything should be tightened. There is a brief practice course with additional safety guidelines. My niece and I went to celebrate her 16th birthday, and she had an amazing time. We worked up a good sweat with the varying obstacles. I would highly recommend it to be able to spend some time outdoors.

I will say it was far more challenging than I expected it to be. Of course, being afraid of heights did not help. The staff was very friendly and helpful and safety was of the highest priority. My grandkids absolutely love this. They were ages eight and 10 if I were to go again, I would be sure to bring a backpack filled with essentials I would probably do an all day pass and pack a lunch. Make sure you bring plenty of water. You can take your backpack to the starting point they have benches set up where you can leave your gear , I noticed the family had purchased and they had brought lunch which I thought was a great idea. There are so many obstacle courses to go on and if your boys or anything like mine, they do not wanna leave!

From the moment we walked in, we felt completely comfortable and welcomed. We started with a teaser lesson and ended up signing up for a package--and we're so glad we did! Our instructor, Summer was amazing. She was incredibly patient with us, even though we both have "two left feet," kept stepping on each other, and struggled to keep pace. Not once did she seem frustrated--just encouraging, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping us improve. By the end of the session, we felt more confident and excited to keep learning. She made us feel like we can actually get the hang of the basics in time for our event. If you're nervous about trying a dance studio, don't be. This place is professional, welcoming, and truly a fun experience. It would even make a fantastic date night! Highly recommend Five Star Studio--we're looking forward to going back.
