In a gym that at times can get loud with fun and can seem overwhelming when classes are in session,…read moreI see learning. I see discovery. I see strength. I see teamwork. I see growth. I see caring, and I see great leadership. There are so many reasons to love this gym but at the very top of the list are 3 great coaches who have made a truly lasting impact on my kids. Their names are Coach Jordan who is the branch manager, Coach Joy who is the assistant manager, and Coach Nate. Though Coach Jordan is the manager, he is not above teaching and coaching and he has actually taught both my kids at one point or another. His high energy and positive attitude bring sunshine to the gym. He knows names, he greets kids and parents alike, he encourages students and he has the place running beautifully. I have no doubt that his leadership is what makes this place so great. The gym is clean, the equipment is well maintained, and there's always such great energy. He is always ready to answer questions or help in any way we need and he never acts like it is a burden. He is highly knowledgeable of operations and I've always been able to get my questions answered. My daughter liked gymnastics before, but since having Coach Joy as her teacher, she has grown so much more and she has found a new level of love for exercise. In my daughter's words "Coach Joy makes me stronger" because she encourages her to always grow, always keep trying and strive to master new skills. She's an excellent coach and has set the bar really high for our girl. After searching many other parkour schools, we finally found a great spot for our son with Coach Nate. I am a former preschool teacher and I am still in disbelief at how much patience Coach Nate has for his littles. Even with brand new students that probably don't even have preschool experience, he manages to teach the class and still give the wanderers space to wiggle as they get used to the routine. Instead of focusing on rule following and order, he lets the kids have fun as they learn! My son has grown so much in his agility and endurance. We are excited to see him keep growing in Coach Nate's class. Truly, I could say a million more things about how much we love SD Gymnastics Grossmont. We as a family cannot recommend it more. Don't let the fancy website or requirements intimidate you. Go talk to Coach Jordan or Coach Joy in person and you'll be able to see what a great place this is.

I get to be on teams, and I love learning how to compete. It makes me feel proud and excited to try my best. 3. The teachers are all very nice. They spot me, help me learn new gymnastics skills, and encourage me to keep improving. Lastly, I want to say thank you to Miss Jackie. She has taught me so much and inspired me to be better every day. Love, Xiara

It's been really rewarding watching her skills and confidence grow, and a big part of that is because of the supportive environment at Gemstone. We're very thankful for all the coaches and highly recommend them!

Sharing our experience for other parents of young children…read more My 3-year-old attended her first class, and at the end, every child received a sticker except her. While it may seem small, at this age that kind of exclusion carries meaning, especially on a first day of her very first structured ballet class. I reached out to for clarification, and while I understand standing behind their staff, the owner's response felt more focused on defending the approach than acknowledging my concerns as a parent of a 3-year-old. She also didn't seem to understand that a sticker to a 3 year old signifies belonging/a sense of doing well, and can shape how a child views themselves in a new environment. I understand having structure, but this did not feel developmentally appropriate for such a young age or for my daughters first ever dance experience. A refund was offered, which I appreciate, but overall this was not the right fit for our family. I would strongly encourage other parents to clearly understand expectations and teaching approach beforehand. During our trial class, my daughter participated less and was still encouraged with a sticker, so the inconsistency here is both confusing and concerning. For a program working with very young children, that level of inconsistency and lack of professionalism in both practice and communication is disappointing.

My child was not given the reward everyone else was given (a sticker) for not fully participating in the beginning of class. She is 3 and this was her first class and the teacher acknowledged that my child listened most of the time. The sticker is not the problem, but when brought up to the director that this odd-man out behavior is not appropriate at this age, she was not empathetic and doubled-down that these are the expectations of this studio. This is not the black swan studio, it's an after school program for 3-year olds. I have pulled my child.

I remember spending a lot of time at the snack bar. Go figure. Anyways, banquet hall we were housed in for the event was spacious and well kept. The tables were in good order and the chairs comfortable enough. The building offered a stage, clean restrooms, an area for the caterer to set up, and a good sounds system. The staff at the front as you walk into the building were welcoming and friendly. There are several parking lots and one adjacent to the banquet hall we were in. The land escaping immediately around the building we were in was very nice, but I did notice that the gold course needed some TLC. The grass was very uneven and not well kept up.

***ATTN: ARBOR VIEW RENTERS MARCH to APRIL 2019*** RENTERS, PLEASE READ --…read more Several weeks ago their large banquet room received significant amount of water damage from the terrible storm. The damage was so severe, a big remodel is needed. Yet all that was told to my family and I was about minor work: new carpet, wall painting, new doors, updated drape holders, and the remodel will be done in a couple weeks. It has now been 3 different "completion dates", and not once we were told by the coordinator. We had to reach out every time and ask what exactly is going on there. Basically, there is not a 100% guaranteed date whatsoever when the work will be done (approximate completion is mid April.) Needless to say, MY WEDDING IS COMPLETELY CHANGING VENUES WITH ONLY 3 WEEKS AWAY!!!! (Pitiful stress and anxious memory I'll always remember.) Thankfully I found out from my CATERING VENDOR that all March & most April events were being postponed &/or canceled. So the coordinator can notify other renters but not us? Really. I definitely feel ignored knowing we were reaching out and keeping in touch about the remodel... I've been more overwhelmed with wedding planning in the past 24 hours verses in the past year. Especially after speaking with quite a few places and knowing my venue budget could double with very slim options left... Good luck to those renters. You will need it!!!
