No seating provided for adults, no help from employees for party setup or handing out food. I was told I could hand my decor to an employee who will set it up, which I did, but it was not set up by the time we got back from the gym and there was no one even in the room. The playtime in the gym was not at all facilitated or organized as they said it would be, it was basically just like an open play session. The employees seemed like they've never worked with children before, and seemed bothered to be doing so. If you are looking for a venue to take the stress out of planning, I would not recommend this gym for a birthday party. That being said, thankfully the kids had a great time because we finally broke the "no adults on the floor" rule and started making the fun for them.

She is the worst of all don't waste your time. She is unpleasant and impolite. Not very unhelpful and extremely disrespectful. If only they made sure they accommodated you as they charge you. First, make sure they explain the payment situation so they don't make new rules as is beneficial for them. They have a pay-per-class or pay for four weeks in advance. Apparently, it doesn't work like that. My daughter signed up for 4 weeks of classes which were paid for in advance as they should or as the policy seems to be. At the end of her 4 week classes, my ex-husband couldn't go to Ninas to make a payment. We wanted to sign her up for another 4 weeks but my ex husband had a family emergency and couldn't make it to pay and there is no contract. He paid the following week and they charged last weeks class that wasnt paid for as if that was part of the package when I inquired because to my knowledge you paid for your classes in full. The receptionist was like no no no that class count. That class was never paid so why should it count? I even witness another parent having to deal with the same situation. New policies need to be made. One were the parents are sure of what they are getting themselves into with this establishment.

I trust that my daughter is safe there whenever I leave her for practice. The coaches are great, and they treat the children as their own.

Some might call it harassment but I call it a reminder. I actually appreciate the reminders. I never regretted enrolling my daughter to Nina's, and I highly recommend Nina's if your child wants to be a gymnast.

Reserving your spot for a party is simple. You can call and then swing by to drop off your deposit. The whole process is explained then including what to expect and what they provide. They also give you helpful recommendations on where to order food for your party at. A week before the party they call to get a final head count and to provide you with your remaining balance. The call was super friendly and provided me time to ask any questions. For the party they are ready for you at the door. If you are after a party, they clean up the space and get you going right away. The kids are brought into the gym and then split up into different groups with a coach for each group. Lots of action going on and they handle everything. No need to worry about your little ones. Just make sure you have your camera ready. They rotate from station to station so that each kid gets to experience it all. After an hour or so, they get the party together and then have the birthday kid "fly". It was really cool. After that they lineup all the kiddos for a group shot. Next up is pizza and cake. They handle serving and cutting everything. You just have to order the pizza yourself and by the cake. They have a freezer as well. Cups, plates, napkins, balloons are all on them. They also have a knife for the cake and a lighter for the candles. Everything was soooo easy and the staff was so friendly. Each parent was beaming with how much fun their kid had (and how tired the kid was haha). Absolutely somewhere we will consider for future parties!

The girls run laps around the dance floor and then stretch barefoot on carpeting that looks like it hasn't been shampooed in a decade. After having a friendly exchange with Alex over email about having my daughter join a comp class and asking if it was ok for a three year old to try it, we were gobsmacked by the rudest head teacher leading the class. Granted, our child doesn't acclimate well or easily to new experiences and was clingy for the first 20 minutes, but she started to warm up a bit and followed the class with help from me. How is it then that the lead teacher zones in us and says very rudely and with a thick scowl, "Your child is too young, she is not ready!" Any normal parent takes this as a cue to leave so I led my kid to the parent area and began putting on her shoes. Lo and behold the lead teacher actually followed us and began to scold me! She says, "Why did you leave the class?!" Hey Lady! I am almost 40 years old. This isn't the movie, "An Officer and Gentleman". You're not the Russian version of Louis Gossett, Jr. And I'm not Richard Gere. You're not here to break me or my daughter down in order to gain some sick satisfaction of having us beg to stay. So I yelled back and said, "You said she's not ready, so why should we stay?!" And that yes, I agree she's too young but I've never experienced such a rude approach from a teacher talking to a prospective student. The teacher shakes her head at me and says she's never had a parent talk to her like that and that "I'm not her (kind of) parent." Well good! I'm not paying my hard earned cash for an unfriendly, military-like extracurricular environment. Really, What adult talks to another adult like that? This odd "tough love" "destroy your confidence" approach is as archaic as the building that houses this gymnastics class. Completely ridiculous. Anyone reading this - stay far, far, far away. I recommend Nina's Gymnastics in Maspeth where the teachers are NORMAL and it's in a legit studio/gym facility.
