Powerhouse Cheer & Fitness — Attraction in Belton

My daughter was kicked off the competitive cheer team due to me bringing up how my daughter was dropped for an hour straight. (She’s a flyer) instead of the owner going and helping the group of kids instead she was on her phone. Once I said something about it she then got up got loud and defensive and decided to go back and fourth about the situation, brought other parents into the conversation, etc. She contacted me 2 days later 30 mins before practice through text message letting me know my daughter was kicked off the team instead of saying that to me the whole hr she went back and fourth with me in person at the gym. I raised over $600 for fundraising. The money was never credited to my account and she refuses to refund it. The practice wear we paid for was hand me downs from years ago. We pay choreography fees and had a choreographer one time. Us and several other teams received last place every competition. All the effort is put into Godspeed so if you’re not on that team good luck. Other teams that received first only received that place because they didn’t have any competitors. D’Ann (the owner) favorite thing to say is that she’s the owner like nobody knows. Humble yourself ma’am. She also shows favoritism to all the kids that she coached their parents. So if she didn’t coach you don’t take your child here or you’re not going to be treated equally. Safety is a last priority in this place. Skills don’t matter when it comes to team. Your child can backhand spring and be on a team with someone who...

Update- tried it again. Today they were even older siblings, probably the oldest was close to 10. And they were doing flips and tricks on the trampolines with 1 and 2-year-olds on there. The rule of 5 and under is definitely not enforced. Such a bummer because it is a fun cheap activity to do with my 17-month-old. But having older siblings there is not ideal. He was getting bounced way too hard on the trampolines, and the moms of the older kids did not care. This will be a once in a while thing for us instead of a weekly thing like I was hoping.

Went for TOT open gym. $5 is a great deal for 1 ½ hours for my toddler to run around and have fun. Unfortunately there were older siblings there today that were definitely over 5 and WILD, kicking big balls around like a kickball, running into everyone, jumping way too close to little ones. The parents were there but clearly weren't paying attention/didn't care. I wish that the 5 and under rule was more enforced- 5 and over does have their own open gym time. We'll try it again, hopefully today was a fluke and next time will...

We are starting our second year of cheer here at Powerhouse, and have nothing but amazing things to say. My daughter loved her first year on an elite team, and learned so much in just one year. She has so much love for the coach’s and made so many friends. This place has become a cheer family, not just a place for cheer or tumbling. One of the best place to learn and grow as an athlete. Her absolute favorite person and role model since starting at the gym has been the owner D’Ann. She pours so much love and dedication into these girls. Tumbling coach Jason has helped her grow so much in perfecting her higher level tumbling skills. And coach Brayden has been one of her favorites as well, he is a flight coach and has helped her take her flexibility to another level and her stunting skills so far in her first year. Cheer has become her happy place, and has brought out her personality. Her team got to experience NCA, and all star worlds. Such...
