With three kids, we've tried many different classes, but Deanis truly stood out!…read more It was the first place where I saw real discipline, small-group instruction, and incredibly attentive coaches. Even after just a few months, we could already see noticeable progress. I can confidently say that every minute of class is used with purpose -- the kids are genuinely learning rather than just spending time there. The only reason we stopped attending was because we moved to another state. A special thank you to dear Ani and Coach Corey. We truly appreciated everything you did, and I wish your wonderful academy continued growth and success! With love, Lilit, Tatev's mom

They don't just train them to become better athletes, they help shape them mentally, teach discipline, build confidence and give them skills that will stay with them for life. My daughter has been attending for over three years, and I can honestly say we are so thankful for everything the team has done for her. The experience has been amazing, and we truly appreciate every single coach for their dedication and support.

Its awesome how all including my granddaughter and her parent are entertained and follow directions while having great time.

Shes a very active kid and usually pretty slow to warm to new places but her skepticism vanished after 5 minutes of seeing the other kids run and jump on the gigantic inflatable. She also liked the donut wheel that flips kids into a somersault. This place is great for vestibular and proprioceptive input! Although it wasn't long enough to wear her out, she had fun. The pricing is a bit unclear - they charge a $40 initial fee, plus it's 160/mo. So you're going to pay $200 for the first month. I bought a membership despite the steep price ($160/mo which is $40/class); we'll see how long it takes before she's bored of it. Staff was friendly. Class was semi-structured. So much better than MyGym in Pasadena!! Highly recommend doing a drop in for kids who are walking steadily on their own. If you have a baby, maybe hold off a bit and go somewhere carpeted like a music class or kidspace baby room until they can walk and really take advantage of all this place has to offer.

They have other coaches but we've mainly had, Ms. Ashleigh, and she is wonderful. Super patient and good with the kids. We recently attended their winter camp which was from 9 am - 2pm for multiple age groups. It was $80 per child with a sibling discount. Other than school it was the first time we just dropped the kids off at a program for that long. They seemed to really like it and expressed that they would do it again.

This review is just based on an intake call to start my son's gymnastic classes with a woman named…read moreJessica. I was completely comfortable answering questions about my son's autism and his support needs during the intake call. I understand that these questions are necessary. However, what made the experience uncomfortable was the attitude of the staff member, Jessica. After nearly every answer I gave, she would respond with an annoyed-sounding "Hmm... okay," which came across as dismissive and judgmental. When she asked if my son attends a "typical school," her tone made me feel like I was being interrogated rather than welcomed. It got to the point where I had to ask her if there was an issue because her responses consistently felt rude. She mentioned that she has a lot of experience working with autistic children, but that wasn't reflected in the way she communicated. Families seeking programs for children with autism deserve empathy, patience, and respectful communication--especially during an intake call, which is often the first impression of the organization. Unfortunately, this interaction left me feeling discouraged rather than supported. I probably will just continue swimming classes rather than even starting here if this is how they discriminate against families with children on the spectrum.

If you care about your child's physical and emotional well-being, stay far away from this school…read more On July 25, 2025, I brought my 4-year-old daughter to her 4:00 PM gymnastics class. We arrived at 3:59 PM and, as directed by the front desk, walked through the ballet room to get there. The ballet class was already past its scheduled end time, so we waited until the students finished before passing through. Halfway across the room, the ballet teacher suddenly began yelling at us aggressively. My daughter was terrified. I calmly asked her to lower her voice, but she continued screaming--following us into the gymnastics room in front of dozens of children. I have a heart condition and began feeling unwell from the stress, yet she would not stop. No staff intervened. I assumed the school would handle it properly, but I was wrong. Later, the owner defended the teacher, accused me of being a "criminal," and took zero responsibility. The real victims were my daughter and the many children who witnessed this unprovoked outburst. Parents should be aware of three serious concerns: 1. Poor safety - No security, unattended front desk, and children can easily wander outside to the street. I personally saw a 6-year-old disappear for 20 minutes. 2. Emotionally unstable ballet teacher - Multiple online reviews mention her history of yelling at kids when parents aren't present. 3. Unprofessional management - Canceled classes without notice, no accountability, and intimidation tactics from the owner, Serge. I regret not calling the police that day. If I had, maybe fewer children would be subjected to this behavior. Parents, please protect your children. A school should be a safe, nurturing place--not one where kids are traumatized and parents are threatened. I've attached a video showing my daughter's reaction after being traumatized by the teacher--no child should ever go through this.

Overall, my experience with this gymnastics facility has been very positive. The coaches are…read morewonderful--passionate, patient, and genuinely invested in teaching kids real skills. The classes themselves are great, and the staff clearly cares about the athletes. That said, there is one major issue that absolutely needs immediate attention: the carpets and definitely the chairs. They are extremely dirty--filthy to the point where it's honestly shocking. The stains, the buildup... it's hard to comprehend how they've been allowed to get this bad. It really takes away from an otherwise great environment. If management doesn't want to replace them, the very least they could do is clean them regularly. It's a simple step that would make a huge difference. The coaches and kids deserve a cleaner, more sanitary space.
