This gym is unprofessional and all about money. The coaches will emotionally and mentally bring…read moreyour child's spirit down by there verbal abuse. Constructive criticism is not the culture here but instead the owner Paige allows the coaches to do or say whatever they want to these children. Good luck trying to reach her because she takes days to reply to emails and can hardly be found in the office at the gym. Don't let your child be on the same level as her daughter because your child will always be yelled at by coaches even if it's her daughters mistake. Which brings me to favoritism. Coaches give seniority to the children who are paying them on the side for private lessons. This gym will state many things in their long contract but they pick and choose who they want to hold accountable to it. Majority of parents will have to buy practice wear at over $200 but some parents can choose it as optional while others are told it's mandatory. Favoritism can be conditioning for petty little things like bows, some girls can wear whatever bow they want and its ok. Others are made to condition for not wearing the practice bow. That goes for being late too. If your not on their good side they will take it out on your child. If you show up late your child is retaliated against and you will see other parents arrive late consecutively but those children are not ridiculed or embarrassed in front of the whole team. This gym loves to win even though this is not always the case. When TXPA loses they verbally abuse the team even if it is the coaches fault for coaching them incorrectly i.e. to do a stunt that was wrong because they did not have a back spot or doing a stunt that's not on their skill level. This gym says they want to be the best and it states in their contract that your child will be removed if they cannot meet the skill level required. This is not the case. You will pay them thousands of dollars for your child while you witness some girls not being able to do a back walk over or front walk over IN COMPETITON SEASON. I pulled my child a week before summit. Yes granted they received a summit bid because the team that won 1st place had already received a bid and the bid went to the next highest scoring team (TXPA). I was hesitant from the start because immediately after they won the bid they brought down girls from level 2 and 3. They used the excuse that we can do whatever we want and take whomever we want to summit. I pulled my child because she took a flight class, tumble class, was a flier all season and helped win that bid but a week before summit they brought down another girl. My daughter came out crying because she said they put her in the back to stand there while all the other girls that moved down were put in an elite. They did this to multiple girls and they do not see anything wrong to this because they want to win at any cost even if it makes the original girls of the team that won the bid feel like an alternate or not good enough because they are being replaced by girls from a higher level. Paige didn't like my text to the coach stating everything above and on "group me" to the parents so she told us to not return next season. Which of course that's a no brainer. I don't want to give this business thousands of dollars for my daughter to stand in the back because you want to bring down girls from a higher level that didn't win a bid at all and replace the girls that worked since summer to win the bid. And don't try to speak to these coaches or Paige because there's an excuse for every action even though they contradict everything they say or what's written in their contract. When they first started they were a really good gym but one of the coaches that helped them win all those champions has left to another gym. So many people left for reasons such as the contract and because of the other coaches departure. Oh and I left out the "clique" of moms...different cliques. It's like high school all over again. I don't know if some live their dream out through their daughter or if they really just have no life. They love to sit/stand around and gossip about each other or portray themselves as better because of their financial status. p.s Two comments left below are from the owner and the director's mother who organizes the hotels for the gym with housing connection. I would say my business or the place I work for is great too if I was writing a review. I am so glad to be done with TXPA. Cheers!

I couldn't get her in with a coach that actually would teach her. She was just running basically an obstacle course by herself with no instruction. After 5 months in class, she hadn't learned anything new, so I taught her how to do a cartwheel in our living room in 15 mins. That's when I knew I had to do better by my daughter. The younger program is GREAT if you just want to wear your child down, but my girl was very disappointed she wasn't learning anything. We love the kids night outs and camps, but as far as actual gymnastics for 4-5 yr olds, meh.

If you care about the wellbeing of your child or children stay clear of this gym. If you advocate…read morefor your child, stay clear of this gym. If you want your children spending long periods of time in an unhealthy training environment with a head coach "god complex" ego, then look no further.  I cannot speak for Crenshaws after school program, camps, or palestra program, but if you're looking for an Optional or Compulsories training program here's my honest review.  We first started noticing issues with the constant change in coaching staff. In the last three years we've seen 2-3 coach changes. The latest newest edition being the worst. They bark orders at the girls and offer put downs when there is no delivery. My daughter felt this coaching style began to rub off on the other coaches. We were met with many meltdowns after training due to this specific coach. Hysterical crying and shaking. If you directed concerns to the head coach your child would be blamed for bringing this response on. We noticed over our tenor here that our daughter was scared and intimidated to communicate. Not to us as parents but to the coaching staff. She feared retaliation from her coaches. If she was interested in attending a gymnastics college summer camp with her peers, they would all be terrified to to mention it due to how the coaches would respond. Of course, you'd think attending a college gymnastics camp would be encouraged - it's not. If my daughter suffered an injury, she did not want to mention it to her coaches, scared of how they would treat her or push her to train on the pain. If my child was running late to practice, she was terrified to communicate her occurrence. This all goes against USAG Safe Sport Policy.  This gym says "family" is their mantra but that's a lie. It's the head coach's idea of family. He feels he owns your kids once they join the team. He acts as their father, at least what he thinks is a father. It's by far the unhealthiest part of this facility. He cancels parents and does not allow parents inside the gym. There are no windows to observe your children, there are no seats or seating within the gymnasium that welcome parents to watch practice to ensure your child's safety. You're told you're welcome to pull up a chair when you first join but this is not true. Most parents when we ask questions are met with snarky comments, attitude, pettiness, unprofessional responses, or no response at all. This is no way to conduct business. Your kids are bred to have their own communication with the coach that does not pertain to you. This means if your kid suffers from anxiety or depression, it will only worsen because the head coach does not want you as an adult to protect the child and speak adult to adult. Coach to parent. I'm all for children learning to communicate and advocate for themselves in a healthy manner but this is not that.  He's most comfortable texting your youth or adolescents. He rather hear from your kid how they cannot attend practice because you as a parent have a conflict, planned a family vacation, or other plans etc, so he can punish your child for your decisions or hold them accountable for something that does not pertain to them. This is just a toxic form of control. Over our time here we met with the head coach,Adam Miller, numerous times to discuss our concerns or issues as concerned parents. Each discussion showed more and more how he does not like to take ownership for his wrong doings. He would constantly point fingers at the children. During each discussion instead of being met with concern or willingness to change, we were met with communication that said, "Maybe this isn't the gym for you all". We were always told in so little words to just get out and our daughter was indispensable. This is not a family.  Our daughter was always pulled to the side and addressed about various things without our knowledge. She's 14 and unable to comprehend all conversations yet the coaching staff assumed or assumes these young gymnasts are adults, they're not. Every conversation she had without an adult present bred toxicity. She was being bullied, coerced, and always accused of wrongdoing. She was left feeling isolated and alone. All parts of their toxic control they like to flex.  In the end, I had to ask my daughter if this were a relationship would you stay? She told me no. I asked why, and she said because she's constantly manipulated, always accused that everything is her fault, and voiceless.  Overall, the head coach is unwilling to welcome healthy change. He rather continue with the same traditions that have led to years of gymnastics, toxic culture and adolescent abuse.  If you want to feel targeted and enjoy being disrespected, this is a place for you.  I would not recommend this gym to anyone.

He used to climbed up to the teachers' head, cried for entire the class, and refused to get down to the water. It only took 2 weeks long that the teacher , Darcy, changed him and since then he falls in love with swimming. I registered my son two classes per week, but he wants to swim more with all the teachers... Now he has been going through teachers Viennese, Kiera and Kalie. They are all so great that I couldn't say thank you enough for describing how much they have been so patient to teach my son and discovering each kid's unique swimming habit! The last but not the least, their customer service staff are very very nice and professional, too! Lisa, who has been caring for my concern and also trying to help me to communicate with the swimming teacher, too! I highly recommend parents to have their kids swimming in Emler swim school!

Each week, he has shown improvements, from ability to hold his breath to moving his legs under water. The instructors keep track of different metrics to make sure each kid continues to get better every week. Our class has 4 other kids, which has been the perfect number. We've been extremally happy with the Water Babies class at Emler.

I'm not one of their traditional students but I found that they had a small judo program there and was interested in that. I couldn't find much more information on it so I called and left a message. Master Nunan called me back and asked why I was interested in judo; the club isn't competition oriented but a way for folks to still practice without a lot of the high-impact. Since I was looking for a supplement to other stuff it was a good fit. I was welcomed right away and allowed to practice for months, MONTHS without paying a single dime. I gained a lot of confidence with my throws and it wasn't until my first belt promotion that I started paying dues so that I could be officially recognized. The he majority of students here practice Tang Soo Do so the judo contingent is smaller and tight knit. I definitely enjoy seeing the same faces week in, week out. We even have annual Christmas gathering just to sit and chat off the mats. When I've had to stop practicing due to health reasons, pausing was simple and was told even though I won't be able to practice I can come in an observe anytime. Truly one of my highlights since moving to Austin.

Not only is Master Nunan a very accomplished martial artist in multiple disciplines, he's also a genuinely good person. I see it in his teachings, his philosophies, how he treats his family and friends, and most importantly, how he runs his life. He is patient and kind, and it shows in the talent he has surrounded himself with for instruction and follow up. He has students whom have studied with him for 20+ years, working their way up in ranks and taking on additional responsibilities in the studio. If you are looking for a place to study martial arts, I can whole-heartedly recommend NMA.
