Therefore we were a bit late for the class and we were told they have strict 10-min warm-up rule, which was never mentioned in our email communication.

Also, the gym is very small, the parking is so hard, not to mention homeless people hanging around the parking lot.

I actually live in walking distance to one in Culver City and choose to drive here because of the more reasonable price and individual care they give.

I think it's important here to know what it is you're signing up for at California Rhythms as it…read moreis not a traditional gym. I was looking for a gym for my 5 year old primarily to have a gymnastics foundation - learn somersaults, cartwheels, handstands, back walkovers, gain the flexibility and strength for splits and other foundational gymnastics moves and body awareness. This is rhythmic gymnastics and if you're not entirely familiar with what it is (as I wasn't) you might be disappointed or confused. It is a form of gymnastics focused on presentation, style, and contortions with certain elements like clubs, batons, balls etc set to music. All routines are on the floor, there are no beams, vaults, foam pits etc. This seems to be a style quite popular in Russia, Ukraine, Mongolia and I assume other post Soviet Republics as the center is dominated by Russian speakers. Classes are mostly in English but there is a lot of Russian exchanges between instructors and students. They let us do a trial class for which I was very grateful and if you are considering joining, I suggest trialing. I think they do good work as far as I can tell, and you can tell they take this craft quite seriously. It just isn't what I'm looking for for my daughter. The class was more of a 1-hour yoga/Pilates/flexibility workout, quite different than other kid's gymnastics classes with tumbling and the use of other equipment. My daughter was having a hard time at the first class with nerves, she was crying and scared to participate but the instructor (Ben) was very kind. He was very patient, allowed me to sit inside although it's generally not permitted and paid special attention to her. I thought it was very nice and put my child at ease. There is a fencing school in the same building I thought was pretty cool.

I have been a customer for a few years. I told them the day they charged me for my next 2 months…read morethat my daughter was needing to take a break cause she wasn't really feeling it right now. They told me sorry we charged you already and won't refund you it's their policy to never return money after it's charged and in their contract. So I said that it was bad form for them to keep the ridiculous $250 money knowing they just charged me and they knew I wouldn't be coming. They said if I do that for you I would have to for everyone. Outrageous! Also be careful to read their very fine printed 28 page contract with a thousand rules, that are over the top. very aggressive teachers and very strict nonsensical ruled contract. First of all it should be case by case. Second off all they being a new small business should know retaining and being fair to clients keeps a business going. Acting like this and being rude on the phone or being greedy about their needing to keep money is very bad model. Never in my life have I ever had this happen with any company large or small. They always return the money they they charge while it's still pending. Say "thanks for your business and we hope you return soon." I told her I had brought her a few clients even to her business and being a loyal customer should have been enough to act smart about her business. I mean she is a very young owner and needs to learn the world; she's only 25 I think, but she should know better. I told her I would let people know her business model, and then she said that was a threat. People need to know the truth! So here I am telling you don't waste your money there are better places to go.

My 8-year-old daughter has been attending classes at New Vibe now for 2 years and is on the younger…read morecompetition team this year. This is a great, intimate gym that gives a lot of focus to the individual athletes. The competition team instills great values, but isn't overly programmed or intimidating to the athletes of diverse levels. (Said another way: I don't think my daughter is likely to be an olympian, but she can take a lot of pride in what she learns and achieves at New Vibe.) Violet cares very much about her students and the coaches she selects to work with them. There are other gyms that are bigger and have been around longer, but the equipment at New Vibe is clean, well-kept, and designed to inspire the kids. A very playful yet professional atmosphere, which is perfect for our family.

Wow...just wow. Randy Lane, the Director of both the University level gymnastics teams, as well as…read morethe kids' classes that are open to the community, is fantastic. He, and his entire staff are so much more focused and honed into the kids, than what we've seen at a couple other gymnastics studios. Though we liked LASG, the drive to Culver City was too far, esp after school when traffic blows. And Broadway gymnastics is crazy chaotic. After we tried a few classes there, we found that the kids are not really under the watchful eye of the instructors because they are too impacted. We took our daughter out. It was too expensive and our child wasn't getting the kind of attention needed to be safe, let alone develop or master skills. Enter UCLA Bruins Gymnastics. We are so glad we found it. The studio is clean (not like the other two places), the equipment is very well maintained. And there are ample coaches for the kids. In fact, the student to teacher ratio is something to boast in and of itself. Add to that the very reasonable pricing and the quality of the program that Randy has put together, and you have an ACE OF GYMS for KIDS. Bravo.

The negatives were that the space in back for the food and drinks was tiny and too crowded, I was hit with some extra charges (including a "service charge") I hadn't been told before on the day of the event, and that even after I added what I thought was a generous tip on top of the service charge up front, they came and begged me for an additional cash tip at the end. After I said no, they separately approached my wife and asked her too. That was really unpleasant and inappropriate.
