This is not a safe environment for gymnasts. I'm sharing based on direct observations and personal…read moreexperience. My daughter quit this gym due to emotional abuse from the head coach. No level of skill progression justifies compromising a child's well-being. I take accountability as a parent and wish I had removed her sooner, but conditions worsened mid-season when transferring wasn't realistic. Intimidation: Retaliation - Multiple gymnasts said they tried to leave but were "blackballed" with negative comments from the head coach, forcing them to stay or quit gymnastics. Unnecessary screaming -Witnessed compulsory gymnasts break down in tears after being yelled at for failing skills. Fear-based control - The head coach stated he kicked out the cheer team, could get rid of the director, and that no one (including USAG) could hold him accountable. Emotional Misconduct: Humiliation - At a meet, an assistant coach pointed at athletes and asked if they were embarrassed after beam falls--despite the team placing 2nd overall. Humiliation - Gymnasts were forced to remain on events for extended periods after mistakes, especially following meets. Mind games - My daughter was falsely accused of ripping her grips to avoid competing. Replacement grips were returned too late, requiring a paid private just to break in the grips so she could compete. Ignoring - The head coach often refused to engage with my child and even sent her home without explanation. Fear and intimidation - When my child followed instructions to report illness, the head coach threatened to remove her from the team for "disrespect." Belittling achievements - Head coach told my daughter her 9.600 bar score was a "fluke" and undeserved after seasons of struggle with bars. Verbal abuse - Athletes were called embarrassing, a waste of time, embarrassment to their generation, and worse. Negative talk - The coach spoke poorly about other gymnasts during privates. Minimizing/Denying Care: Basic needs denied - My child was ignored when asked for simple first aid for her leg during bars. Isolation: Controlling friendships - The head coach told certain gymnasts not to talk to or be friends with others. No team support - Sometimes gymnasts were discouraged from helping and cheering for each other and were advised to stop or be sent to rope. Division - The coach openly said to gymnast that he " did not like my child and she was annoying". Unhealthy comparisons - The head coach frequently compared gymnasts, saying only certain athletes were "college material" and asking others why they could not perform like specific teammates. Using Parents: Blame shifting - Parents are led to believe issues are the child's fault rather than the environment. Physical Misconduct: Painful stretching - I observed gymnasts pushed into painful stretches while crying. Accusations of faking injuries - My child was told her doctor's note was fake. Toxic culture - Families fear retaliation, blacklisting or being forced to quit; prior complaints to the director brought no change. Management Issues: Public humiliation - Staff falsely claimed my child's practice leo hadn't arrived in front of the team over a near-due payment. Public ridicule - I was criticized in a group chat for a misapplied payment. Unauthorized debits - Cash was accepted for snacks, yet card on file was still charged. Inaccurate invoices - Billing errors were frequent and caused repeated confusion and delays. Escalations: Failure to address concerns - The director was addressed about the head coach's behavior; the response focused only on fees and immediate disenrollment, with no concern for athlete welfare. Exploitation - The director used a silhouette image of my daughter on shirts supposedly for team support but then sold them for profit. Privacy concerns -Staff posted a video exposing my daughter inappropriately and shared her full name publicly on social media, putting her safety at risk. I do not recommend this gym. Athlete safety, respect, and ethical coaching should be the standard--not the exception.

Giving one star was being generous, this place is extremely toxic and has little to no regard for…read morethe emotional state of their gymnasts. From top to bottom, the level of disdain in their chain of staff...is DESPICABLE. Management is passive aggressive and when confronted they take it out on the children. I've witnessed and spoken to several gymnast who feel like their coach has disrespected them and "bullied" them in front of their teammates. As a former athlete and gymnastics coach my heart bleeds for these kids. If you are looking for a gym in the Daytona area, please look elsewhere.

I visited in February…read more2020 and it was $7 for my son to play in the gym for two hours, which I thought was reasonable. Check in was easy and they opened the gym for us right at 10am. I liked that there was a lot of room for kids to run around and there were two big bounce houses. There were also hula hoops and an obstacle course with foam blocks. There was a long trampoline that my son enjoyed running on. They played incredibly loud pop music but it set a fun mood. The staff inside were friendly and engaged with the kids. Because it was hot inside the gym during the time of our visit, we only stayed about an hour. They have a few other options for play for older kids listed on their website and social media page. The weekday toddler playtime was a fun indoor activity that's reasonably priced! As of mid March, they are temporarily closed, but hopefully they will be open again soon!

I don't typically write reviews like this, as I try to give people and businesses the benefit of…read morethe doubt. However, after our experience, I feel it's important to share. My daughter ultimately left this gym after being yelled at multiple times by coaches without clear reason. The final issue occurred when her position in the routine was given to the coach's daughter, who had just joined the gym. This athlete had missed much of the choreography, yet immediately replaced my daughter right after the choreographer left. It was very difficult not to view this as favoritism. Additionally, this same coach had reportedly been asked to leave the gym on more than one occasion due to inappropriate behavior, including yelling at athletes and speaking negatively about others. It raises serious concerns as to why someone with that history would be allowed to return. When my daughter brought her concerns to the owner, the response was dismissive. The owner stated that my daughter had been "complaining about her wrist," but any athlete would express concern after stunting with a flyer over 100 lbs for 6-8 hours a day, two days in a row. Even when it was pointed out that others--including the owner's own son--had similar complaints, the concern was brushed aside. The gym promotes itself as a "family," but in our experience, that only seemed to apply to a select group. At a competition we both attended, the owner yelled at her daughter and the team when they ran over to give my daughter a hug. Later that same day, when her daughter approached again, she was abruptly called back. This was especially disappointing, as when my daughter left the gym, the owner had expressed support and respect for her decision. There appears to be a clear clique within the gym, and athletes outside of that group are not treated equally. We also had concerns regarding financial practices. We signed a contract stating we would receive Rebel uniforms, yet were provided with lower-quality uniforms instead, despite being charged for the Rebel brand. This change was never communicated. Additionally, we were charged for items not outlined in the contract, including choreography fees that were billed without notice--even though we were told in a parent meeting that a sponsor would be covering those costs. Since my daughter left, several other athletes have also chosen to leave for similar reasons, particularly related to how they were treated by coaching staff. The environment often felt discouraging, with coaches yelling, demeaning, and singling out athletes who were not part of the inner circle. Overall, this gym felt more like a closed clique than a structured, supportive program focused on athlete development. Between poor communication, questionable financial practices, and lack of accountability, it is not a place I would feel comfortable recommending or trusting with my child

The Owner is very transparent and whenever I've had ANY issue big or small he'll schedule to talk to me and any parent for that matter. I honestly can't say enough great things about Island honestly.

However, once she started practice, she literally was, for lack of better words. "shoved into a corner" because it seemed a lot of the children getting most of the coaching attention were because the coaches knew the parents on a more personal level, it just seemed like there was favoritism was going on there when I was there..maybe that's not what was going on, but that's how I perceived it. My daughter was literally bored because she didn't do anything her whole time there she would get one turned out whatever exerciser drill they were doing and then she was told to stand to the side. Very disappointing. I went up the street a few days later found iFleming Gymnastics and never went back. Perhaps they've gotten better with the coach to student ratio since.
