My daughters have been at Champions for 4 years and are now part of the EPIC Elite Cheer program…read more I asked my girls to describe the program, and one said that "The coaches make us work very hard, but they make it fun." The coaches are positive and focus on safety, and there is a sense of mutual respect between coaches and athletes. There are a lot of optional extra classes in tumbling, flexibility, jumps, and stunting; my girls would go to the gym every day if I let them. The community at EPIC Elite is great - there are fun, positive parents which makes team bonding events a pleasure, as opposed to a chore. Why 4 stars instead of 5? The new program started at the beginning of the summer, so I'll update when we're a little further into the year. As a new program, some of the processes and communication are still being ironed out, but the pros far outweigh the growing pains.

In hindsight, I disagreed with their fee structure, but now see the value in how well they run the business and find that, that should take precedent over monetary cost.

They gave me a credit for only one of my kids which was 82$,despite repeated attempts to get credit back for the entire amount .. my concerns were largely ignored, leaving me feeling frustrated and completely disregarded as a customer.

Every single day they came home excited to tell me about what they did and couldn't wait to go back the next morning. The activities are creative, engaging, and so much fun, and it's obvious that so much thought goes into every day. The owner is incredible. She works so hard to create a camp where every child feels welcome, included, and excited to be there. You can truly tell how much she cares about the kids and their experience. It's rare to find a camp that is this well run while still feeling so personal. We will absolutely be back!

I hope something will actually get done about this. I like the owners very much, so it's disappointing seeing one person bring the place down.

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.

My daughter is currently in Girls 2 and Tumbling 1, so the review is based on that class. Here's the scoop: -The classes are capped in sizes. They are strict about coach to student ratio. I appreciate this because the kids are doing things that they could easily get hurt if not monitored appropriately. It seems to be 8 kids per coach and most of the time it's even smaller. -The coaches are awesome. They all are great with the kids. They are always happy and very helpful to the students. I've seen them spend quality time with each kid to help the child progress on their skills. My daughter has told me how much her coaches care about her. She's 7 and feels great going to class, that says it all right there. -The gym area is huge. There's lots of space for the kids to move around. Lots of equipment so all of the kids in class can work on their stuff with minimal downtime. The equipment all is in good shape and well maintained. -There's a lot of different skill leveled classes. No matter your kid's skill level, they are in a class that's appropriate and one they they have fun and improve in. We have been at other gyms where did not happen, so I like this. -They offer lots of fun extra classes. About once a month they have a "Kid's Night Out" on a Friday from 7-10pm. My daughter thinks it's a party for the kids to go to and loves it. My hubby and I love that we can squeeze in a date night. They also do clinics on different skills to help the kids improve on their skills. I highly recommend this gym for your kids.

So what started off as a good fit for my daughter has quickly taken a nose dive for the worse…read more Here's what went wrong and why we switched gymnastic gyms: 1. Coach Victoria. When we started going several months ago, Coach Victoria (the blonde lady), would work with all of the girls in at least one station, usually stretching and tumbling, working on correct posture or form. This was super beneficial and was helping all of the girls get better. All of the girls, no matter the skill level, did get better after just a few minutes of one on one time. Victoria is a good teacher. They then got additional younger coaches. Victoria would split the class in half and take one group. Her group would always work on different stations each week. I have seen her do all of the stations (floor/tumbling, vault, balance beam, and uneven bars) with whoever she picked for her group. The other girls would get the obviously less experienced coach. For the last 2 months, whichever girls who went with the new coach have only worked on casting and swings on the uneven bars and walking the balance beam. I know this because no matter how the class was divided, my daughter was always with the new coach. She hasn't gotten to do any vaulting and very little tumbling. She even asked me why some girls get to do the other stuff and she doesn't. She's 6 and has noticed the unequal treatment. When the class divisions first started, the groupings were clear. It would be the most experienced in class and the least. The newest girls and the regulars. Then it was mixed random groups. I gave them the benefit of the doubt for weeks until I realized my daughter hadn't been with Victoria for 2 months straight. Not once, no matter how the girls were split. Victoria always hands picks the girls to go with her, so I'm just not sure what is going on. I'm not saying my kid deserves special treatment, but it was becoming obvious, that my daughter and 2 other girls were never in Victoria's group. These 3 were not getting the one on one time with a very experienced coach. We all pay the same amount. Each kid deserves the same instruction across the board. My husband went to one of the classes recently. He usually can't make it due to his work schedule, but was able to come to one. He asked me afterwards why our daughter didn't get to do what all of the other girls were doing. I hadn't even mentioned anything to him, so I knew there was an issue right then. 2. The classes themselves. At the level my daughter is at, classes are usually split up by age groups. The class she was in was for 5-6 year olds. Then they started letting younger kids in, usually younger siblings of girls already enrolled. For a while there was a 3 year old in the class. Now, if the younger child was really good at gymnastics and can keep up with the bigger kids, that's one thing, but when the child is brand new with no experience, it's not good for anyone. The little girl needed help the entire class to do basic skills. It wasn't her fault though since she was 3 and had no experience. She needed to be in a beginner class so she could learn the age appropriate skills. This little girl would monopolize one coach for the whole class because she needed so much help. The other 8 girls had to share one coach then for the class, so it wasn't fair to any kid in the class. It then got to where the little girl would just start crying because she was so frustrated that she couldn't do what the other kids were doing. In her last class, she actually ran to the viewing area in tears to her dad. I heard her say she didn't want to do it anymore because she was so stupid. She wasn't even my kid and my heart was hurting for her. She should had never been made to feel that way. I'm not sure why this happened, but it's just bad practice across the board. 3. There is this one teen girl who just shows up and does random practices in the gym while the main class is going on. She just comes in and goes between all of the stations and works on her things, but in a super random and distracting way. She has even gotten in the way of the actual class that was going on on more than one occasion. She often turns on her floor routine music to a ridiculously loud level during the regular class. 4. It also smells strongly of stinky feet. It sounds silly but when you are there for an hour, some air freshner would be nice. I don't mean to sound whiny or just a major complainer, but I have a bit of experience with gymnastic gyms. My daughter started in baby gymnastics at 9 months old. She's been going continuously for over 5 years. We left our previous gym because it really only focused on age 5 and down and we also moved across town. I gave High Tech a chance but it ended up being very disappointing across the board. Save yourself the headache and go else where if your child is interested in gymnastics.
