Horrible experience. The owner was extremely rude and unprofessional following our 2nd class this year. We are done here and will never come back! I enrolled sisters on vastly different levels. Both were properly placed the first week. One was in the lowest class with mostly kids around her age. The other, due to more advanced abilities, was placed in the highest class, which naturally had some older girls. Her teacher was fine with it, but another mom complained because her daughter who was not as advanced (in fact much lower) but the same age was upset that she was in a lower level class. Instead of dealing with that mom appropriately, the owner moved my daughter down to the lowest level group with her sister. When I complained that I had confirmed several times before I paid that my daughter would be placed correctly according to skill (because we had problems the prior year) she got extremely nasty. She claimed we hadn't been told this. She insisted that she had the right to place kids by age. I tried to be rational...why place a child who can do ariels and tucks and was going to start working on back layouts, with kids working on cartwheels and simpler moves. She couldn't care less about my child. It was her way or no way, and in fact she decided to kick us out on the spot...just to make a point. When I mentioned this to another parent, she was wasn't surprised, and commented on her own concerns about the lack of supervision she witnessed at this gym that same day. She couldn't believe that the kids were allowed to perform moves on the floor and apparatus without any spotting at all. The person who was supposed to be spotting, would be watching another child. Now I know why 6 of my daughter's friends drive all the way to Plainview for gymnastics. So the net net is that this facility is not only extremely unsafe, but run by a very unprofessional, rude, and thoughtless individual. Consider yourself warned!
