This review is for the Lil Ninja program. I signed up for a trial class after finding out they do…read moreafterschool pickup from the elementary schools nearby. Thought it might be a good option for us, so wanted to check it out. After checking in, they said the coach would be out soon and showed us where to line up. When the time came, the kids lined up and were called in, but the ninja coach never came to introduce herself, which was disappointing. After a group stretching session, they split off into their own programs. At the ninja station, there just was not much going on. I was bored just watching them repeat the same few things over and over again. The instructor was bored too as she was yawning nonstop. At one point she was literally just sitting there while the kids kind of did free play on their own. I'm not sure if they do different things each class or if it's the same but this looks like it would get boring after 3-4 sessions. Once it was over, the coach did still did not come meet nor was there any follow up on whether we want to sign up or share thoughts. For me, this program was missing a few key things I expect - safety, inclusion, and real opportunities for growth, confidence, and community. The instructor barely paid attention, the activities felt unstructured, and there was no sense of connection or purpose. So basically it's just a really expensive option to have someone unenthusiastically watch your kid for one hour. The gymnastics side looked more active and organized, so maybe that is their main focus and the ninja program is just an add-on. Either way, I was really disappointed with the Lil ninja program. Also, the facility itself felt kind of dingy. The vending machine was broken and the space did not seem super clean or well kept. Would not recommend Lil ninja based on what I saw.

Our 4-year-old son attends the preschool class Tuesday afternoons and loooooooves it. But that's…read morenot surprising -- before going here, he took several gymnastics classes through the Pflugerville Rec Center and loved those as well. What I love about this place: -- The classes are ongoing. I realize this could be a positive or negative, but for us it's nice not to have to sign up for each new session and hope you get into a class that works for you. -- Variety. His old gymnastics classes were great for him when he was younger. They taught him to pay attention and gave him confidence. But they basically did the same thing EVERY SINGLE WEEK. Which was fine. But in the five or six weeks he has been attending classes at Platinum, I think they've repeated exercises maybe once or twice. The equipment they have here is also more extensive and "professional," and it's been great to see him learn new things and grow. -- Instruction. Now, I'm sure this largely depends on the person, but so far his instructor has been a great mix of hands-on teaching and encouragement and letting the kids figure things out. I also love the fact that they frequently have a second instructor/floater who helps out. -- Size. I think there are six kids in his class, but generally four or five show up for any given session. Perfect to allow for one-on-one instruction when needed while letting the kids have some freedom to learn on their own. -- Accommodating. So far they have been completely accommodating with us switching days and classes. And when we recently learned they have a holiday break camp and called about it, they said it would be fine for him to attend even though he's technically not quite old enough (supposed to be at least 5 and he's 4 1/2). What I don't like as much: -- The parents have a separate "viewing room" closed off from the gym. This isn't so much a bad thing as it is just not what I'm used to. It's nice being able to sit in the same room with him, and it's certainly easier for both of us to see each other. -- Not as friendly to younger kids. They say that kids can start as early as 18 months, so we eagerly took our son and his younger sister to a free trial class. Holy bejeezus. While it's true that the class is supposed to be for kids from 18 months to 3 years, I can't imagine an 18-month-old who could do pretty much any of the stuff they were doing. One of the exercises had her hanging from a bar and (in theory) bringing her feet up to the bar as well. Ha-ha. Ha. Ha. Most of the 3-year-olds couldn't do it! The thing is, we've been to classes that are ACTUALLY geared to kids that young, so we know it can be done. They're just more play based. Bending, dancing, jumping, climbing. Holding their hands as they go across a balance beam. So we were bummed. But mostly it's their loss, because we certainly won't be putting our daughter in classes there until she's at least 3.

They need help y'all. There are a bunch of 16-21 year olds running this place and we wasted tons of…read moretime and money being with this gym. At first I loved it, we got a Groupon and loved how welcoming the front desk was. I finally felt like I was seen where at another gym I just felt like they could care less if we were there or not which I didn't care for. Platinum made us feel valued and seen. Well, I noticed pretty quickly the constant turnover of coaches, every week my daughters preschool class had a new coach which was discouraging as every week I had to tell my 3yo to not let them hold her hand. My daughter has been walking on a beam for a year without help yet every week with a new coach they would treat her like a baby again. My 5 year old started moving up into the pre team track and it was exciting! I was looking forward to better form, somewhat stricter coaching etc to see her skills really blossom but... honestly it wasn't much different. My daughter would do a terrible cartwheel and they were high giving her and baby taking "great job, wow". Palm to face, this is the pre team track and that flies??? Well they wanted to love her up again, she has been 5 for barely 2 months and wanted her to be on the actual pre team. Practice twice a week which isn't bad but wait for it.... For THREE HOURS on both days, 3:30-6:30. She just turned 5 teal and her skills aren't great, she has potential but she's no Shannon Miller and she's not even close to competing so why am I going to pay $225 a month to burn her out when she's in preschool. To me, here what I see, they are suffering. They need the money, they are pushing these kids up in ranks to fill the spots but these kids are not superstars, not yet at least. They need better coaching, more consistent staff, and higher standards. Final straw was when the owners husband (who is also an owner) and was working at the gym was arrested and being investigated for sex crimes. There was not a peep from them, nothing. To me this is something that should have been addressed, even a simple email stating what was going on and what steps they were taking. Example: As some of you may know, X was recently placed in custody for a crime. We want to assure you X will not be working at the gym during, at minimum, the investigation. If you have any sosecific concerns or questions please contact us at xxx-xxx-xxxx, or myself the owner at xxx-xxx-xxxx. Thank you for your continued support and understanding. Platinum Gymnastics. One more thing that drive me crazy, the bathrooms were always dirty, they need a full paint, their shop is so sad, the waiting room is tiny and the DOOR, the door y'all! The door to get into the gym from the waiting room is a HOT MESS, everyone knows it and they don't do anything about it. We were there for 6 months and things only got worse month by month. We do think the girls were nice, very sweet! But as far as a competitive gymnastics program, keep looking y'all... this isn't the place.

It's definitely an aging facility that doesn't boast the latest in exercise equipment, but we have those places around.

On June 22nd at 12pm my 8-year-old daughter was aggressively approached by a father after leaving a…read moreYoung Rembrandts summer art class being provided by Pflugerville Parks and Recreation. At no time was my husband or I notified of an incident occurring at the facility or during art class. Rob McDonald and Whitney Seaton both employees of the Rec facility assumed I was aware of the situation solely based on speculation that my aunt who was caring for my daughter while I was away on business had been able to get a hold of me. The first time I heard from any party was when Rob McDonald called my cell phone to tell me the outcome or determination for my daughter's enrollment in the class. Rob called and stated my daughter could no longer attend art class at their facility. Rob and Whitney did not call us as parents to inform us of the incident or to tell us that you all would need to speak to all parties involved like my daughter or the other party BEFORE coming to a decision. They spoke to the other party ONLY and decided based on that one party. Due to the other party involved being Caucasian and us being minorities this does make the situation feel race related. It does cause my husband and I to feel like there are grounds for a civil suit for discrimination. Not only did you all reprimand my daughter, but you all allowed a white entitled father to also reprimand her. You all failed my daughter and did not keep her safe. Pflugerville Parks and Recreation Dept as a whole needs new procedures and policies in place to protect other children of color from discrimination like what my daughter was subjected to. You all are at fault for how this situation was handled. Young Rembrandts and the Pflugerville Parks and Recreation facility decided based on a "she said" scenario without communicating with all parties involved and doing an actual investigation. Our daughter was traumatized and terrified by the father that approached her. Rob and Whitney continue to word things like you aren't privy to what occurred at the facility entrance and framing things as if he approached my aunt and daughter. Please do not minimize or attempt to downplay what that father did. He walked up to my 8-year-old black daughter, and he said, "Did we have a problem today?" My then terrified 8-year-old responded to him and began to explain herself. This is a situation that no child should ever find themselves in. I will not stand for any injustices. I do not recommend this facility if you are a minority.

Rosie is very introverted and doesn't usually take well to strangers, so finding the right swim class has always been a challenge.

Rosie absolutely adores Shelby and now looks forward to every class with a big smile. She's growing more confident in the water, kicking properly, and genuinely enjoying swimming. I truly credit Shelby's gentle, supportive teaching style. I'm also really grateful to SafeSplash for putting in the effort to match students with the right teacher and level.

The coach, Michael, was very personable and informative. Robert tapped to Michael afterwards and placed my daughter in properly assessed level. He talked again at length to explain how the school works, who to talk to for information and how to approach him for any concerns. I'm very impressed for the level of care and customer oriented approach. I feel strongly about their commitment to focus on children learning and getting them ready for the swimming skills as fast as possible. I highly recommend this school. I'd recommend to any new parent to approach Robert for any issues. He's very genuine and friendly person.
