It is a good deal to find out if the kid is committed or not (and invest in a good one when the child needs a full-size). So far, he is not putting up a fight to practicing at home!

My girls (7yr and 9yr) started with a short spring break camp but asked to stay on and now love their weekly art and crochet classes. They never complain about going and never want to miss a class, which says a lot for busy kids this age! Since, their skills have improved much and I'm always impressed to see the projects they bring home. If you take a peek at the other student's work displayed, your mind will be blown. It's encouraging to see other parents entrust their extremely talented children to this school.

This place is perfect for my 7 year old son…read more We have been coming a little over a month and he loves it. I have a 9 year old daughter who tried a trial class and loved it as well, but she's in gymnastics and I only can afford one recreational activity for each child at the moment. Anywho... I love the fact that the coaches make the kiddos wash their hands upon entering. Afterwards, they head to the waiting area to get ready for class. The class is an hour long and the kids get to do quite a bit. There are climbing areas, ropes, bars, jump stations, and other spots for them to switch to. They start off with some cardio to get their little hearts racing. Normally, it's a few laps around the gym and some lunges or something similar. After that, they stretch and then get assigned to groups. Each group goes to a different station for around 5-7 minutes or so and then they switch until they've gone to all of the stations. They normally have a water break after the first half of class and then they head back to continue. The coaches are very nice and VERY patient. I've seen a few kiddos misbehave and the coaches have always remained calm while pulling them aside and talking to them for a bit. The age range from what I can see is from around 4-12/13 and all the kids always seem to be super excited when they arrive. If you're looking for something for your kiddo to enjoy that's fun and affordable, try this place out. It's 90/month for a weekly hour-long class and your child gets a shirt for registering. This place is clean, fun, and priced just right. You can't go wrong if you choose to come.

And with later hours than most (last class is 7:30-10:30pm), this is a great date spot. Granted I went with my dad, we had such a fun night. With so many restaurants and even bars nearby, 6 hours flew by before we knew it. I highly recommend the Crazy Canvas with Michelle.

KatyGT is the third preschool we sent our daughter in and it's the best. the teachers are very thoughtful and full of love. my daughter was born in pandemic time, so she rarely contact with people. when she was 3 years old this year, we decided to send her to preschool, at first we send her to a big chain daycare close to our house, but she kept crying and crying .one day we observed outside the playground, we found she was almost crying out of control and nobody comforted her. the teachers just gossiped each other. Then we send her to another daycare, she also very nervous and anxious...... When we sent her to GT for the first day, she even didn't cry. Ms Min hold her for a long time and she hold her hand all the time. all the teachers there show their love to her. They even help her make good friend in her class. she didn't feel lonely and feels love around her. It's about one month since we send her to GT, Now she is excited to go to school everyday. she says she loves all the teachers there and all the teachers love her. it's the best decision we have made to send her to GT. the teachers is full of love, they pay attention to every kids. By the way, the curriculum being taught is very advanced, I had thought she's too young to learn, but to my surprise, she can count to 10 and she can trace the letters now.

We love KatyGT. Our son has been here for just over 1 year and we regret not sending him here from…read morethe start of his preschool experience. Our son is always excited for school and even requests to attend class on weekends. The curriculum being taught is very advanced as my son, a 4 year old can tell you all about the continents, different countries within the continents and special characteristics about those different countries. He is also able to read easy reader books and do basic math. Overall Katy GT has exceeded our expectations. When our son transitions to Kindergarten we'll continue to send him to Katy GT for afterschool programs and summer camps. Ms. Mary and her amazing teachers run a very well thoughtout program which we're proud to send our son to.

At 77yo, I enjoy the pool very much. Before my back surgery I was doing laps but had to back off that until Oct 15th. So I do physical therapy walking exercises in the pool for now. The water is always just the right temperature and it is always clean. Every one of the lifeguards are friendly and helpful and one of them always gets the door for me when I come in and out with my walker. The overall staff here are helpful, friendly and most importantly, patient. I want to mention in particular the custodial staff, who are responsible for keeping Monty Ballard in tip top condition. They are fast to clean up messes and keep on top of all the daily upkeep. All in all, I highly recommend this YMCA.

This Katy Cinco Ranch location is very family oriented and has plenty of space & equipment. I have yet to have any issues with waiting to use equipment even when it is busier. You will find a surplus of treadmills, free weights, squat racks, benches, and more for all your exercise needs. There is also a child care area available for the younger ones. In addition, they also have a gymnasium with multiple side rims, as well as both an indoor and outdoor pool. Other areas available include a stretch room, cycling room, group exercise room, and another smaller weight room. They have plenty of locker/storage space as well, located is some weight rooms, outside the restroom/pool area, and inside the restrooms as well (the ones in the restroom require your own lock). One of the things I love most is they have a water fountain with a filtered water bottle filler so I can bring my empty water bottle from home and fill it with water at the Y for my workout. Another thing I appreciate are the several sanitizing stations for your hands and for wiping down equipment. Overall I'm extremely happy with this Y. The staff are very friendly, they have plenty of parking and allow 3 free guest passes per year (my previous Y made you pay for all guest passes). The only slight negative I've found so far is that they don't provide basketballs for the gymnasium due to people not returning them, which is understandable. Thus, I highly recommend this YMCA!
