Matthew Shaughnessy
3 months agoThe place is nice for recreational gymnastics, and I hear their competitive teams do really well. She was having fun and the coaches were all nice, but after a while the rec program felt like a bit of an assembly line - I kept asking people what our daughter needed to progress, and we couldn't get a straight answer from anyone, she always seemed to get lost in the shuffle there. We moved to a different gym, and within a few months she had already moved up a few levels and had started competing.
Z. Jones
6 months agoMy daughter's been going to Perfect Balance for over a year now and we absolutely love it! The coaches are great and they really push the kids and teach them the right fundamentals from the start. My daughter has learned so much in this last year and has moved up two levels since we've been here. So glad we chose PBTC!
Anya Ruffin
6 months agoAs a parent with no knowledge of gyms in the area, we lucked up on Perfect Balance after attending a birthday party there. A few months later, we had my daughter's birthday there and have been there ever since. We love the gym, the coaches, and all the teams. My daughter has grown so much in her 6 years at the gym. We love our PBTC family!!
Matthew Cloues
6 years agoHave no feedback about program as I have only been in gym as guest, but nice physical facility for gym. Spacious with nice feel to it.
Kimberly Potts
2 years agoAs the mom of a competitive gymnast I have seen both the good and bad sides of gyms. Since my daughter has made the move here, she couldn’t be happier. She loves her coaches and has grown tremendously stronger. In addition, her skills have grown by leaps and bounds. I appreciate the focus this gym puts on quality coaching but that they also mix it up to make it so fun! Highly recommend PBTC to anyone looking for a quality gym with great coaching.
