Edit: Ill add another star for the response but it still doesn't make any sense. My kid would love to participate but I am not signing this consent which very broadly allows them to do whatever they want with my childs "likeness" and "images."
This business forces you to allow them to use your childâs likeness and allow them to use your child to promote their business. Their system wonât allow you to register unless you agree.

   Read moreMy daughter started at SGA on opening day, about one month ago. We came from a different gymnastics location mainly because this one was so much closer to our home- but the location is only one small part of how much weâre enjoying this switch. The gym is brand new and clean, spacious, safe and organized. The staff are SO friendly- from Josette at the front desk, to my daughters coach Rick (absolutely amazing at what he does, so patient, allows her to have autonomy while guiding her and spotting her along the way) He is such a gentle and kind person. The biggest difference weâve noticed is how much more variety we are getting with each week, and the progress we have seen in just one month has been mind blowing. At our previous gym, at this age (4/5) they did the exact same obstacle courses every week, zero moving up or progress with anything- it became very monotonous, predictable, and unchallenging. Here at SGA, my daughter seems to leave with a new skill each time. She is constantly trying new things and her coach is clearly focusing on her growth with the time he has her there. We rave about this new gymnastics company, and we look forward to going every week! We feel so lucky to have this just minutes from our home. Thank you Rick,...
   Read moreDisappointed with their Halloween event they hyped up in their newsletter. The open play is normally $5 for members, it was $20 today for the Halloween event. No decorations. Dollar store magnet or book mark as their âcraftsâ with old dried, chewed up markers to color with. And 4 game stations, mini blow up ring toss (which was deflating by the end), mini bowling, mini stick ball darts (the ball didnât even stick to the target), and a mini cornhole thing. They said in their newsletter that there would be all kinds of activities, and made a big deal about how it was a Halloween themed event, making it more expensive. This was really cheaply done and I definitely wonât be coming to any other of their âeventsâ, even if it will be 1.5hrs instead of 1. We ended up leaving early bc my 4yr old got...
