The owner, Allan, exhibited very concerning behavior during our daughter's session today. Despite…read morereceiving an email confirming her transfer into his class, Allan yelled at our 6-year-old, questioned her age rudely, and maintained a humiliating attitude toward her for no apparent reason. It broke my heart when my daughter told me she is now fearful of returning. After reading other reviews on Google, it's clear this is a recurring issue for many parents. I no longer feel this environment is safe or professional, and I would strongly advise other parents to stay away.

We have been part of the Twisters family for over two years, and for the longest time, we loved it…read more My daughter is naturally shy and sensitive, but Teacher Ericka was a godsend. She made my daughter feel so welcomed and confident that gymnastics was the highlight of her Saturdays. However, our experience shifted completely when she moved up from the Little Twisters class to the Beginners class with the owner, Allan. This morning, my daughter felt overwhelmed and started to cry. Instead of showing any empathy or helping her transition, Allan ignored her and continued the class. When I approached him afterward to help my daughter feel comfortable, he was visibly exasperated and shouted, "I am teaching a class here and don't have time for this." As a parent, it is incredibly disappointing to see an owner treat a young child (and a long-term customer) with such a lack of patience. If the owner sets this kind of tone, it's hard to trust the environment. We won't be returning to a gym where the leadership lacks basic empathy for small children.

Avoid this center: A total waste of two years…read more Gold Star Gymnastics is a pure money-trap that prioritizes business over athlete development. My daughter came from a competitive background (Hot Shots at CSC) and is a world record holder in hula hooping, yet the coaches here showed zero interest in her potential. We invested in double classes and summer camps to accelerate her progress, but she was stuck in their "orange/yellow" level for a year with no path forward. The "coaches" never bothered to provide targeted training or help her reach the pre-team level. To make matters worse, they gave her crushing negative feedback right to her face after a pre-team evaluation, which ultimately caused her to quit gymnastics entirely. They rely on their central location to attract new families, but they do not care about the students. Save your time and money--look elsewhere.

We were at the Veteran's Day camp…read more Here is what we got so I gave it 3 stars. 1. They arranged Girls to scrimmage against with Boys. The level is not the same on both side. 2. It was raining hard that day, and the whole camp stopped after running for less than 1.5 hr. There's no Plan B, no refund but to give $50 off when you register any upcoming event . 3. Kids said there's not much learned from the camp.

The coaches were highly engaged and positive. Most kids have very short attention spans these days…read moreand I think the coaches did a great job. Feedback to my son during scrimmage was spot on. Very happy we signed up for the camps/clinics

Our child has been with the Hoopright team for three years now. The coaches at Hoopright provide…read morecomprehensive basketball training -- whether it's technical skills or team-oriented guidance, they cover it all. It's not just about training; they also offer many opportunities to participate in basketball tournaments organized by different organizations. Additionally, once or twice each season, the team travels to places outside of the Bay Area for games. All of these experiences allow the kids to develop in all aspects of basketball. Moreover, the coaches, parents, and kids on the team get along very well -- it feels like one big family. One more thing to mention: our current coach George often provides extra training sessions to help the kids improve even more, all for the betterment of the team. We really love being part of the Hoopright family, which is why we've stayed with the team for so long.

My son started playing with HoopRight a few years ago. We had tried several of the other…read moreorganizations in the South Bay and moved on to HoopRight as per recommendations from families we met along the way. We found what we'd been missing there. They have a broad comprehensive approach to Basketball, from technique to a strongly developed sense of Social Emotional support from the top down. My son has improved and benefited from the oversight of the coaching staff as he grows and matures mentally and physically. They have recognized his strengths and identified areas for improvement with their thoughtful engenderment. HIs little sister has joined the girl's 5th/6th team the last few seasons and enjoyed the same benefits to encourage her interest in developing her skills and sense of sportsmanship and belonging in the team setting. After that, my other daughter developed an interest in Volleyball. She has joined the sister organization for volleyball, SpikeRight. We have also been extremely satisfied with the same level of attention and concern for the needs of the individual in the team setting. With a reasonable amount of experience around what's available in our area, I can say that we are very happy to have landed at HoopRight and SpikeRight. It's been a welcome addition to our family's journey in Club Sports.

We are so grateful to the AFM community and coaches for nurturing my children's love for fencing…read morebut more importantly, the confidence in themselves, work ethic and practicing good sportsmanship. Julia always encouraged my daughter to compete for the experience of it (and took the time to explain how competition works - life changing guidance). Coach Natasha, Coach Gregory and Coach Adam always provided positive and instructive coaching in a fun learning environment. The kids are always laughing after class. The use of "always" is no exaggeration. Win or lose, ranking or not, the consistency in which the coaches and staff "showed up" for our children over the past 2 years is heart felt. The quality of Olympic and World Champion level coaching is unparalleled. Along with Irina and Igor, they were instrumental in developing our children and teaching old parents a new love. For reference, my daughter started beginner fencing at 7 (casual, once a week) and my son just started out of enthusiasm from watching his older sister. My daughter started intermediate class (2x per week) at 8. They're young and may not stay with the sport forever but the life lessons are priceless and transfer to school, work, sports, everything. We're sorry to leave the club as we're moving out of the area and will join another club at Igor's recommendation:)

We have gone to both locations and she has made friends at both locations. I would run not walk your kids down there to take at least the introductory class. They let you borrow their spare equipment for two 20 minutes tune up private lessons and one normal class for only $95 dollars. Join this small community and super unique opportunity. This is 10000/10 review. Note-I stold this from their website for your review!!!! "Did you know that fencers have a distinct advantage when it comes to college applications? 1 in 3 high school fencers go on to compete on college fencing 32% of male fencers and 38% of female fencers go on to fence in college. Compare that to football (7.8%) or basketball (5.9% male, 6.3% female). More than 30 top-tier colleges in the U.S. have an NCAA fencing team, and 100 other colleges have teams as well."

We tried for almost a year to get our lost money back without any results. Which is why I have to…read morenow write this review so people don't get into any traps. We were satisfied with the coaching but here is what we didn't like: (we dealt with coach Silva so I'm referring to him as he below). - he cancelled practices last minute - he changed location or time last minute - he gave a hard time to people who were trying to adjust to his spontaneous schedule - in the middle of the season he cancelled the entire program and still kept charging our credit card We wanted him to refund the last month that he charged our card after canceling his program and he has not yet returned a penny. He constantly didn't respond to my emails or my husband's calls or texts. I have emails as proof so if anyone is interested in verification I'll be happy to share them. Also to note it is required for you to have a credit card with him in the system in file to continue being in the program. It was not by our choice it was a requirement. We are still awaiting our payment to be refunded and if necessary will take further actions to prevent this kind of fraud.

Chris has done great work with our son (now 12 years old; 11 when he started in early 2014), and…read morehas really boosted his confidence. Our boy has been "recovering" from bad experiences with former teammates and coaches for the last several seasons. So, we really wanted soccer, still his favorite sport, to become a big positive in his life again. Chris is very positive with him, and quickly recognized his natural athletic ability, as well as his needs for better touch and improvement on other ball skills. We saw his attitude and confidence improve after just one session. Our son has grown more confident again, and has become more aggressive on the field -- more like his true self. He has a lot of fun, and has even strengthened his leadership skills (an unexpected bonus), when Chris calls on him to lead other athletes in warm-ups at the beginning of training sessions. :-) Workouts are hard and focused and fun -- great combination. Chris has voluntarily done extra work, staying late with our son, to help where more work was needed. Chris also has helped our son train to further maximize his speed and sprinting power in preparation for his big track meets during the spring. Overall, SSA has been a great experience for our son, and I would highly recommend Chris for any motivated young soccer player.

My son (10 years old) is one of the first kids to join this awesome wrestling academy…read more It's currently located at St. Francis and is coached by a well known coach in the Bay Area. Most of the time he will have a one or two assistant coaches as well. This is a good academy for kids starting around 3rd/4th grade through junior high. Good for both boys and girls and various weights. They try their best to have the kids paired up with other kids of similar weight/skill sets. Coach Joey does a good job of mixing things up. The class generally starts with warm-ups (which look like they burn 500 calories), then it will go into some drills and teaching various moves, followed by practice of those moves and grading of performance against those moves. In some cases there can be short 30 second wrestling as well. Because coach has good relationships in the wrestling world, he can also invite other clubs to do joint practices/scrimmages or travel to others and do the same. I'd encourage those that are on the fence to visit, and at least talk to coach and see how they could possibly get their child(ren) involved.

Awesome class for the kids!…read more Our son loved getting involved and he was able to get a good workout in as well. Feels good to know that the coaches and assistant coaches are all wrestlers and experts in this sport as well, so we know the kids are in great hands!
