He suggested I check out the Center which I knew as the old YMCA in downtown Waco. I went to check it out and the hook was set. That was just over five years ago. I have done the Aqua aerobics and then found that I loved the Silver Sneakers program offered three times a week in the morning and in the afternoon. I soon became one of the regulars that attends not only for the health benefits but because I love the people and our Silver Sneakers Cardio aerobics instructor. The staff at the Center are wholesome and caring compassionate people. Especially Rebecca, the interim facility Director. She goes above and beyond to assist and help you out with concerns seeing you are well taken care of when you take in the pool, weight room or holding an activity. There are so many activities anyone can be a part of and I can't say enough about how I feel a part of wanting to be a part of the various health programs anyone can do. I even like the Tai Chi which helps me in my breathing and stability. I haven't tried the YOGA yet, but might one day. If your into Pickle Ball or Hand Ball, they have two courts for that. They offer memberships of every kind and the "Price Is Right" being covered by insurance and there are some membership levels. There is so much more to the Center, but I have to close saying I love the in door walking track and second floor workout area. They offer it all without breaking the bank... You gotta try it!

I have three sons -- 9 year old identical twins and a 13 year old. My twins grew up at Academy for…read moreCreative Learning, attending there from the time they turned two until they started kindergarten. My oldest son attended the ACL school age program during Christmas break and summer for three years. I cannot say enough good things about ACL -- our family has many very sweet memories of our time there. One of the features that distinguishes ACL from other child care facilities is that the owner pays her employees well and there is very little turn over there. The teachers (God bless them) work there because they love kids and they have the patience of saints (if my life depended on it I don't think I could manage even a day in charge of a classroom full of two year olds, but these ladies make it look easy and fun). Each teacher that we came into contact with took the time to really get to know my boys -- even though my twins look exactly alike, they were always treated like the individuals that they are. When they were three, one of my sons needed some medical tests in Dallas and I was stunned when his teacher spent the weekend driving all over town to find him a stuffed bulldog (his favorite animal at the time) to cuddle with during his test. During the year my boys were in the pre-K room our family went through a divorce and the teachers were such a big help in providing my boys the stability and TLC that they needed through that difficult transition. The hair salon was a great feature -- all you have to do is leave payment at the front desk in the morning and when you pick up your child at the end of the day they have a fantastic hair cut. The swimming pool was great too -- the daily time in the pool during the summer time went a long way toward my boys developing a love for water. The summer school age camp was super -- every day was filled with field trips, fun crafts, time in the pool and games. My boys still reminisce about summers at ACL -- especially the weekly visits from the snow cone truck. As far as I'm concerned, the only downside of ACL is that the food is kind of junky -- white bread, juice drinks, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, and processed cheese are all featured prominently on the menu. I did find, however, that the staff was good about abiding by my request that my boys be served the healthier options and given water instead of juice drinks. The bottom line is that I recommend ACL wholeheartedly.

Always fed, always clean, tons of activities for the kids, great place. Our daughter went there from 18mn.-9ish year of age before and after school care and pick up and drop off from local schools which is nice. Fair pricing, your kid will never go hungry there. Great place, great care providers, great management, great place. Don't let looks detract you, bc this place is fantastic to the kids and parents. The pricing is also fantastic.

Walked in today looking for a good daycare to leave my kids during the week, and I immediately…read moreregretted taking the 10 mins to get my 2 toddlers and newborn out of the car. But what's done is done, figured by this point it was worth at least taking a look on the inside. The place was rundown, doesn't look like it had been cleaned in a year. Was scared to touch anything knowing that we're prolly gonna get sick just standing here. I could hear all the babies crying in the other room, when I peeked in there were 2 adults and prolly a good 8 or so babies, half were crying. The one adult came to assist me, and left the other to tend to all babies on her own. Even tho half of them needed attention, the other lady was sitting on the window sill not even caring that babies were crying. My heart sank, these people had no love or even decency to help a crying baby. I would never put my kids in a place like this. I felt so bad for those babies in there, I wish that I could have saved them from the neglect they're getting at this daycare. This place is aweful and doesn't even deserve a 1 star

We love the disciple and caring black belt instructors that lead this after school program.

It was uncalled for. Frustrated or not, for him to be rude to me was unprofessional. I am not his student and I was not unkind or disrespectful toward him. I was picking up my children from school and because of the program my daughter is in, she is dismissed in the same area the after school program is dismissed to but 5 to 10 minutes prior to the end of the day. Because I have a 2 year old as well, its easier to park at the curb to have less worry of having to chase a 2 and 3 year old than the back of a parking lot. I'd have moved sooner however I asked that they dismiss my 5 year old to me as well so waited an extra couple minutes which is apparently too much of an inconvenience despite the children Not having been dismissed to them yet. If this is how I am treated visibly taking care of 3 children, I will certainly not be sending my children to him to see how he treats them.

There is just the right balance of seriousness and fun at ZGGA -- my son has learned to work hard and to push through fatigue and pain but he also gets to be a kid and have a good time. When we go to meets, some of the kids from other Texas teams look like automatons and you can tell that they are afraid of their coaches. In contrast, the Zero Gravity boys are laughing and are clearly participating out of love for the sport. The automatons usually clean up and win all the medals, but I would rather have a child with a smile on his face than a shelf full of trophies. A very serious injury at another gym in town about a year ago really brought home the fact that gymnastics is a potentially dangerous sport. I really appreciate the fact that ZGGA adheres to the strictest safety standards with regard to equipment, staff training, and supervision. Highly recommended.

She has been…read morea member of Cheer and went to state championships 2 years ago, and has 2 years of previous Cheer experience. Unbeknown to us, she was placed with the toddler class on three occasions, even after calling and explaining the mix up and promising to get her in the correct group, which never happened. She was humiliated and was told she did not have the "skill set" to practice with her age group. The front desk manager reprimanded my husband for calling and having a question about placing her in an age appropriate class during busy hours. But since no one answers the phone during closed hours, how would you ask a question or contact them? We drove from China Spring to Robinson for this class, so over Spring Break when we arrived to find no class and no texts, emails, calls, or any communication from the staff. They were quick however to let us know that there would be no pro rating because it was a short month from Ice storms and spring break. Again, it's no one's fault the weather was terrible and mix ups happen, but when you treat a new family so badly and then leave a little girl crying on 3 different occasions and feel no remorse or have no apology for wasting someone's time and money, that's awful. Awful management, no communication, complete waste of time and money. I do not have the front desk manager's name , but you should be able to pick her out from her unprofessional, rude, work ethic and the "been in a bar all night voice."
