WAYYYYY too many times I had to check someone else's child becasue their parents failed to do so. Parents sit in the car or are too busy on their phones and laptops. They treat this place like a drop in daycare. The amount of times I've seen a brat harass my child and nothing was done is ridiculous. My child simply wants to learn a cartwheel. One simple thing. I even paid for privates. Yet nothing. It appears you have to be a certain color or have the same views as the people who work there in order for your kid to advance to the next level or else your kid is just there for fun, not to learn and grow in their craft. They mainly cater towards white boys and push the black girls to the side. Ive seen the girls team practice and the boys team practice and the boys get more instruction and conditioning than the girls. It's a shame because the girls are all black, I wonder how it would be if the girls were white.

Went to the adult tumbling class today..this was just a recipe for disaster. If you want to see…read moresomeone break a leg or get kicked in the head this is your place. To start there were at least 30 people in the class, with 1 coach. Having been a gymnast in the past, I know how important safety & caution is in a gymnasium. Not a single rule or cautionary measure was explained at start of class while many of the attendees had never been in a facility before. First 30 mins was stretching & warm ups, including people throwing extremely dangerous moves including front tucks with no effort to stop potential injury after multiple disastrous executions. At one point the coach even said "you all signed a waiver", seeming to not care if anyone was hurt. Second half of class was a free for all with all of the gymnastic stations...although it wasn't possible for the 1 coach to monitor everyone, she didn't even try and instead practiced her own tumbling. There was no cool down stretching. This felt like a cash grab, won't be back.

Many new changes and additional equipment. Very friendly and supportive atmosphere. Plenty of…read moreseating for parents to watch.

I'm not sure it is worth the cost but a decent introduction to cheer. She was consistently placed at the end of pyramids to lift other girls which I wish she had the chance to be rotated. My few interactions with Lisa Chambers, half year program director, have not been customer friendly. She was adamant about a 7 year old girl not wearing leggings during the winter season for practice (when it was 40 degrees outside or lower). With back and forth emails to document the conversation. My husband had to call personally to ensure the message got across! Additionally, my last interaction asking a simple question was quickly brushed off without answering the actual question. We won't be returning next fall.

My daughter has been attending various programs at Charlotte Allstars for more than 7 years. She…read morestarted doing gymnastics and switched to cheer over the last few years. She has been on the half year program under coach Lisa for the last 2 years. We were so excited to find out Coach Lisa would be her coach again because she genuinely cares about her athletes and invests in their success. Coach Lisa has always been very organized and prompt in her responses to my questions throughout the season. It takes a very patient person to lead teams of 20-30 girls! The half year program overall has been a great introduction to cheer. Every time my daughter is presented with an opportunity to go to a different gym, she continues to want to come back to Charlotte Allstars because the coaches treat her like family and she has a sense of belonging. We have always loved the family culture at this gym!

If you're looking for instructors who genuinely care about children, I highly recommend choosing…read moreThe Little Gym over Perfect Balance. While the monthly cost at The Little Gym may be slightly higher, the overall experience is significantly better. My son is three years old, and like many children his age, listening is still a skill we're working on. I initially thought Perfect Balance would be a great place for him to develop new skills and improve focus. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. During one class, the instructor became visibly irritated when my son got distracted or didn't follow instructions. At the end of class, she had him line up with the other children to receive a stamp for participation. She even dipped the stamp in the ink pad, only to look him in the eye and tell him he wasn't getting a stamp because he hadn't listened. I understand the importance of teaching children accountability, but I strongly believe the instructor's approach was unnecessarily petty and inappropriate for a three-year-old. If she felt it was important for him not to receive a stamp, she could have spoken to me directly. I would have respected that. But having him go through the motions--only to publicly deny him a small reward--felt more like punishment than a teaching moment. Because of this experience, I ended our membership effective immediately. We will continue going to The Little Gym, where the instructors are patient, supportive, and understand that children--especially toddlers--have good and bad days. They work with him, not against him. One final thought for any parent considering Perfect Balance: my son also participates in Soccer Shots, where I regularly see other three-year-olds wander off, lose focus, or struggle to follow instructions. Yet, at the end of practice, those children still receive stamps and stickers--not because they performed perfectly, but because they showed up and tried. Why? Because they're three, they're still learning and that deserves encouragement, not shame.
