The girls run laps around the dance floor and then stretch barefoot on carpeting that looks like it hasn't been shampooed in a decade. After having a friendly exchange with Alex over email about having my daughter join a comp class and asking if it was ok for a three year old to try it, we were gobsmacked by the rudest head teacher leading the class. Granted, our child doesn't acclimate well or easily to new experiences and was clingy for the first 20 minutes, but she started to warm up a bit and followed the class with help from me. How is it then that the lead teacher zones in us and says very rudely and with a thick scowl, "Your child is too young, she is not ready!" Any normal parent takes this as a cue to leave so I led my kid to the parent area and began putting on her shoes. Lo and behold the lead teacher actually followed us and began to scold me! She says, "Why did you leave the class?!" Hey Lady! I am almost 40 years old. This isn't the movie, "An Officer and Gentleman". You're not the Russian version of Louis Gossett, Jr. And I'm not Richard Gere. You're not here to break me or my daughter down in order to gain some sick satisfaction of having us beg to stay. So I yelled back and said, "You said she's not ready, so why should we stay?!" And that yes, I agree she's too young but I've never experienced such a rude approach from a teacher talking to a prospective student. The teacher shakes her head at me and says she's never had a parent talk to her like that and that "I'm not her (kind of) parent." Well good! I'm not paying my hard earned cash for an unfriendly, military-like extracurricular environment. Really, What adult talks to another adult like that? This odd "tough love" "destroy your confidence" approach is as archaic as the building that houses this gymnastics class. Completely ridiculous. Anyone reading this - stay far, far, far away. I recommend Nina's Gymnastics in Maspeth where the teachers are NORMAL and it's in a legit studio/gym facility.

I used to be a gymnast many many moons ago and wanted to see if I could still do some tricks, but on very bouncy surfaces. Cory was so kind and patient with me and he really left a lasting impression, so we kept in touch. When my friend told me her son was interested in gymnastics, of course Cory immediately came to mind! We ended up stopping by this past weekend and I was so happy to see what Cory has accomplished. Lots of equipment especially for children, combined with his signature helpful, kind demeanor and fun yet safe approach was such a great experience for my friend and her son. I would recommend everyone try out Cory's new gym!

She is the worst of all don't waste your time. She is unpleasant and impolite. Not very unhelpful and extremely disrespectful. If only they made sure they accommodated you as they charge you. First, make sure they explain the payment situation so they don't make new rules as is beneficial for them. They have a pay-per-class or pay for four weeks in advance. Apparently, it doesn't work like that. My daughter signed up for 4 weeks of classes which were paid for in advance as they should or as the policy seems to be. At the end of her 4 week classes, my ex-husband couldn't go to Ninas to make a payment. We wanted to sign her up for another 4 weeks but my ex husband had a family emergency and couldn't make it to pay and there is no contract. He paid the following week and they charged last weeks class that wasnt paid for as if that was part of the package when I inquired because to my knowledge you paid for your classes in full. The receptionist was like no no no that class count. That class was never paid so why should it count? I even witness another parent having to deal with the same situation. New policies need to be made. One were the parents are sure of what they are getting themselves into with this establishment.

I trust that my daughter is safe there whenever I leave her for practice. The coaches are great, and they treat the children as their own. Some might say they are mean to them, but I'd say they are just teaching them discipline. Something I never experienced there is being harassed for payment. Some might call it harassment but I call it a reminder. I actually appreciate the reminders. I never regretted enrolling my daughter to Nina's, and I highly recommend Nina's if your child wants to be a gymnast.

He's done classes for 3 years now, summer camp, and some clinics or day camps. His different coaches (Tony, Jackie, DJ and Tyler) have always been supportive - so, special thanks to them ! We're very excited for him to move up to Jaguars in the Fall. We let him choose every single session if he wants to continue, and he has never hesitated to say yes. I have also done the baby classes with my youngest and it was really sweet and fun (coach Maria era!). I can't wait for my daughter to be old enough to join back in Saturday classes, as these start at 3. Signup can be a bit stressful as there are more families interested than spots, especially on Saturdays, but we've succeeded every year since we wanted to enroll, by being quick and efficient at Registration start time. It also gets easier as the kids grow up. And of course, the registration priority during the year is key, making it smooth and easy 2/3 of the time. During camps, the recent addition of aftercare until 5 pm has been a nice option. They're very responsive in case of anything needed. Last but not least, I particularly like their inclusiveness and positive messages, it's great to expose our kids to these early on and I'm glad they do that. Long live Industry and Natalie :)

I read another review that stated that the staff was rude and that they only care about money. I obviously don't know what happened but I can say that my experience has been the complete opposite. I've only found them to be exceptionally helpful and considerate.
