"Expect zero tolerance for having a little moment for a toddler. Took my toddler there for 3 sessions, felt being gaslit on and repeatedly being targeted as a bad apple for some misbehavior by their standards. Geez, you would think they are training these little munchkins for Olympics tomorrow. Unnecessary and inappropriate since they should really focus in inspiring an interest and burying a seed in these young minds. Terrible experience. But on the flip side, if you have your kids path set on gymnastic, they might be a good choice."
