What parents say
"The facility is dirty, class sizes are large (especially for younger children who need more attention/guidance), and teachers are inconsistent - I think my daughter had a different instructor every other class. There are many other gymnastics places in Austin, most of which have waitlists. There is a reason this place does not have one. I'd recommend waiting for a spot to open at a better facility."

"Great program, however both 1st floor and 2nd floor are always filthy and stink really bad. Restrooms are always bad too. They seem to be doing really well, so perhaps hire a professional deep cleaning crew at least once or twice a month?"

"Just had a birthday party here for a 7-year-old girl and the kids all had so much fun! There is plenty of equipment to keep kids entertained. Best part is that the staff is wonderful with the kids. They set up an obstacle course and ran a few different games. Like I said, every kid had a blast!"
