Insider tips
- For scheduling any service (especially birthday parties), plan *very* far in advance (e.g., several months) and be prepared for significant communication delays (up to 4 weeks for a response).
- Be persistent with follow-ups for scheduling; do not rely on initial emails or voicemails for quick responses.
- Explicitly confirm all pricing details for birthday parties and other services in writing to avoid unexpected charges, such as the reported $50 increase.
- Ask for specific details regarding event logistics, like setup times for parties, as this information may not be provided proactively.
Good to know before you go
- Making last-minute scheduling requests or expecting prompt responses for any administrative inquiries.
- Assuming website pricing for parties is final; always re-confirm total costs to avoid unexpected fees.
- Booking services without confirming all logistical details (e.g., party setup times) in advance.
- Extremely poor and 'SERIOUSLY LACKING' communication for scheduling: impossible to reach anyone, countless emails and many messages went unanswered, with one parent receiving a response 4 weeks after initial contact.
- Website listed one price for a birthday party, but the amount due at pickup was unexpectedly increased by $50 without prior notification.
- Crowds
- Not explicitly mentioned in the reviews, but the high demand for parties and long-term participation suggests it can be popular and potentially busy during peak times.
- Value
- Described by a long-term participant as 'expensive' but 'worth it' due to the quality of coaching and the positive environment. However, there's a significant concern with uncommunicated price increases, specifically a $50 unannounced charge for a birthday party beyond the website's stated price.
- Food
- No specific food policy for general attendance mentioned. For birthday parties, setup time was not communicated, implying a need to clarify logistics for food/cake setup directly.
- Accessibility
- No specific accessibility accommodations mentioned in the reviews.
- Safety
- Reviewers consistently describe the environment as 'safe and fun'.
What parents say
"So the birthday parties here are AWESOME. Our child has had a party here twice and we cannot say enough about the party host. He does an amazing job with the party kid and all the guests. It’s a top notch experience. HOWEVER it is impossible to get in touch with ANYONE AT THE GYM TO SCHEDULE ANYTHING. I sent countless emails and I called and left many messages. Someone got back to me 4 weeks after my initial phone calls and e-mails. Not being able to get in touch with the gym made it very difficult to want to have the party here, but my daughter wanted her party at this gym due to her positiv"

"We switched to All American last year for our daughter and couldn’t be happier. The coaches and staff really care, often times going above and beyond to work individually in their spare time with my daughter, knowing her personally and genuinely rooting for her growth as a gymnast and a person. Thank you for making it a great experience for us."
