My daughter is now 6 and taking 3 classes a week. She loves it so much, it's sometimes hard to get her to leave the studio after class. The family atmosphere and the culture of valuing all students at levels is often rare to find but SMAC does it wonderfully. We love it here!!

I was at Norpoint park today with my little one and mom,when 2 camp counselors came with some kids…read more There were 2 empty tables and we had our stuff on the 3rd table. The kids proceeded to sit where our stuff was at and one of the kids started going through my diaper bag so we moved our things elsewhere. At that point the 2 ladies were standing about 20 feet away talking and not interacting with the kids. Later, I watched as they both sat on their phones for about 10 mins. Also not interacting with the kids. My mom who is more bold than I am told them she wouldn't feel comfortable paying to go to this place because they were glued to their phones. The lady responded they were seeing what time it was. For 10 minutes... The only time I saw them talk to the kids was when they were lining them up to leave and they didn't sound friendly like I would want someone to talk to my child. The only reason they aren't getting 1 star is because none of the kids got hurt when they weren't being supervised.

We enrolled our daughter at Zenith West Gymnastics in 2021. We invested thousands of dollars and…read morecountless hours into the program. We were trusting them with supporting our daughter and her emotional and physical development. We expected safety, truth, and respect. What we received in return was not only disappointing--it was deeply damaging. Unfortunately, our time ended with a complete breakdown of trust, accountability, and professionalism on their part. This isn't an isolated incident. Look at the reviews: * Children shamed, bullied, and humiliated--with no protection or empathy. * Parents silenced, brushed off, or retaliated against for voicing concerns. * Multiple accusations of intimidation and toxic culture. * A pattern of deleting or suppressing negative reviews to maintain an illusion of integrity. Favoritism runs rampant. Sloppy business practices at best. Lies and cover ups. A disgraceful lack of partnership with parents. Closed practices..... seems suspicious. I should have trusted my gut, and these reviews. Despite claiming a zero-tolerance policy for bullying, violence, and body-shaming, their actions suggest otherwise. The fine print at the bottom of their handbook may protect them legally--but ethically, it exposes a troubling truth: policies at Zenith West aren't meant to guide or protect; they're meant to shield leadership from accountability. To anyone considering this gym: Read the reviews they can't delete. Ask questions. Trust your instincts. This post isn't just for her. It's for every young athlete whose voice was ignored, whose spirit was dimmed, and whose potential was overshadowed by poor leadership. You deserve better. Your kids deserve better. -- Megan Montgomery (Educator, mother of two, and advocate for kids who deserve better than this.)

If you're looking for an Asian community to connect with, learn about cultures and customs, this is…read morea much appreciated location to visit and a jewel in the community. Since many Asian and Pacific cultures live in diaspora on Turtle Island (North America), finding cultural touch stones can be valuable. There are various Asian and Pacific events that take place throughout the year and health services for the community. The location also has artifacts from around the world. The employees are very helpful and professional as well. When we visited to make Chinese dumplings, we were expected to jump in and help and it really felt like being around family. Of course we also got to taste them afterwards. My friend and I also sent our kids here for their summer youth camps which initially felt frustrating because the location was not very forthcoming with information, especially since parents were not allowed to stay and we had very young children. However, having experienced this, we'd confidently allow our children to participate again. They had lots of fun and learned a lot about many cultures. The location has helpful teachers and kept the location secured throughout the day. Parents had to stand in line to pick up their children for security purposes, which we appreciated. In the future, I would have preferred to help out, even if just to contribute to a specific cultural day. The location itself feels "sketchy" because it's in Tacoma, near a casino and has a few homeless people wandering around nearby because there's a community park next to it. But personally I had to let go of my stigma towards this community because of the helpful services here, including a food bank distribution group that uses the parking lot.
