GYMCATS — Attraction in Henderson

My kids used to go here. They had some good experiences. They love gymnastics. I mostly chose this place because the location was convenient. I stayed with them for a long time because of this. I have regrets.

Some of the teachers are pretty good. Others yell and lose their tempers over little things. Some should just flat out not be working with children. I wish I hadn't looked the other way as much as I did.

The prices are quite high. They are not flexible in any way, and they only go up, so if you're stretched thin to start, just know it will not remain stagnant.

Looking back, I can say that the biggest red flag that I wish I had done something about was their treatment of people with physical differences. In one letter given to all the families preparing for a competition, my sweet daughters were encouraged not to wear their glasses because it didn't "fit the gymnastics look". Fit. The gymnastics. Look. My beautiful girls are literally disabled without their glasses. Why should anyone make them feel self conscious about using what they need? We use special straps to hold their glasses in place safely during exercise. We complied with all the standards. But telling a person the adaptive tools they use to function properly don't look acceptable is completely out of line. You don't tell a person in a wheelchair that they dont look good sitting in it. In the end, I just popped the glasses right on their faces and told them to ignore any comments. But I shouldnt have been placed in that position. I don't imagine they have any tolerance for kids with more limiting disabilities.

We have been out of the gymnastics scene for a year now, and I still feel badly about taking my kids there and the close mindedness I subjected them to. This is my attempt to help others not to make the...

My granddaughter has been working very hard in gymnastics and has finally made it on a team so that she can compete. Gymnastics is the most important thing in her life. She has been going to this gym for awhile and there has been issues of bully by other students. Her mother has changed class schedules and times to avoid the student that is bullying her but the bully keeps showing up in the same classes. This bullying takes the form of physical threats, verbal threats and moving equipment while students are in the middle of training on the equipment. My granddaughter has informed the coach of this issue and was told that she did not see anything. The coach (Mika) won't even talk to the student that is doing the bullying when it is brought to her attention. My granddaughter has told her mother and she has brought this bullying to the attention of the coach and the owner (Cassie) and the owner just said we can't label the bully as a bully because she is only 7 years old. The act of bullying does not start or stop because of age as it is a behavioral issue. The owner then angrily labeled my granddaughter and her mother as problems because they stood up about bullying and the owner does not want to address the problem. Overall the ownership and coaches need to be educated on being able to identify bullying and how to properly react to stop it before it causes serious injury. Unfortunately I could not give a lower score...

This place is AMAZING! Here’s why: My 6 y.o. daughter can't get enough of it. She started attending classes once a week and now she goes there for the summer camp + attending gymnastics twice a week after camp + attending all of the Parents Nights Out and some of the clinics. My husband and I honestly don't need so many nights out, so we just stay at home and let our daughter go to the gym anyway. This is our third gym and our daughter was never so excited about gymnastics before. Gymcats offers not just gymnastics and dance classes, but also Parents Nights Out, Clinics, Open Gym hours, and Camps. They also host birthday parties for kids Prices are very affordable, around $15-20 for a class and Parents Night Out is just $30 for 4 hours, including food and beverages the website is very convenient, you can easily book classes, events, pay, and get the latest updates the gym is open even on weekends no one will force you to buy expensive leotards or other attire, kids can show up in T-shirts and shorts. I'm so happy we live nearby and our daughter can enjoy all of the benefits this place provides. As parents we are beyond grateful too....
