Came for a meet, two daughters competing at two different times. $15 per parent to get in. The last meet we attended at a different gym last week was $8 to get in. No other gym in Joga in 8 years with 2 kids charged $15 per parent. I confirmed this with the other parents we are friends with. It gets worse -as I came in with my second daughter (halfway through my first daughter's meet, because my second daughter had a soccer game beforehand), they attempted to charge me for each session so a total of $30. I was told if the two girls were competing in the same session, it would only be $15, but they charge by the session I was told. I told them I wanted my firsr session admission cost prorated for the two events I missed already. At that point they allowed me in for the regular bloated cost of $15.
The scoreboard was not working and the manual score cards that were held up did not face the upper deck seats, so we had no way of knowing our kids scores. This is no small detail. There are no parents who don't keep track of their kids' scores social. But get this - the scoreboard was physically turned on and lit up, and there is a service where you can pay to have your kids name put up on the scoreboard with a message from Mom and Dad, and that works fine. So the scoreboard works for the money making service that they use it for, but not to display our kids' scores.
It took an hour and a half between the completion of the last event and the completion of the awards, because they were computing the scores manually. Computing all around is understandably I could have done it faster on a spreadsheet or phone app. There were several interruptions during the awards of up to two to three minutes, while they computed and recomputed scores as they made several errors along the way. They also forgot to prompt the girls to "present" after they got called up for their medals about a dozen times during this award fiasco. I'm writing this in real time - 15 minutes waiting for one of the levels to get their scores and medals.
$5 for a candygram that had no effort put into it. You got to pick two candy items and they put it in a bag. No balloons, no little stuffed animals, no little gymnastics socks, no cutesiecthings, no nothing. No effort. Normally not something I would complain about but once I started adding up all of the deficiencies of this gym, I realize the bottom line is they're out to gouge your wallet without putting any effort into it.
My younger daughter was in the second group to go, was scheduled to start at 6 pm, but because of all of the Shenanigans I mentioned, did not get introduced and start warming up until almost an hour and a half later so we have eight and nine-year-olds starting an hour and 20 minutes late, 7:30pm. Isn't that kind of late for youngsters? Does that not increase injury risk? My kid had a huge nap, so I'm not concerned for her, but really, shouldn't somebody be reconsidering the sense of this?
This meet cost $125 per kid. Their other meets are $45, $65, $65, $85, $105. States costs less than this.
I'm told the gym was not opened until 2:20 for a 2:30 check-in, which meant my wife and first daughter (and anyone else who arrived early) had to wait in a line that went out an open front door in low 30 degree weather.
MONEY GOUGE - This was a debacle - such confusion, and such an impersonal experience. Not so much as an apology. Go check out the guy who runs TNT in Maple Shade. He's...
Read moreHere are all the TOP REASONS why you should avoid this gymnastics at all cost. I would agree to all 1 star review posted. The 5 star review could possibly be from parents wanting their experienced kids to continue here. To me this rating was based on lack of FOCUS, ATTENTION & PASSION to teach kids.
As you can see in the picture circled Red, the instructor hardly pays any attention to ensure kids are doing things correct. 7 kids with one instructor and imagine the quality of training provided? Think before you enroll. Unfortunately Google does not allow uploading videos to show actual concerns.
The instructor asks my kid to train on bare floor. There is no safety padding foam for first-time kids. My kid injured her head badly on floor and the instructor never paid attention to help.
For all first-timers, they ask you to fill the paperwork and they don’t tell you its a personal injury waiver form. They consider it’s not the responsibility of instructors for providing wrong directions nor paying attention.
There was a staff at front desk who never give proper directions as to whom to meet or who will help. I was waiting for instructor to arrive and take my kid with her for more than 10 minutes. Finally, I went to front desk again and asked for the instructor. She asked to step forward and have my kid seated with other kids who are already warming up with the Instructor. Nobody even guided us properly who was the instructor. Really confusing instructions.
Do yourself a huge favor by avoiding this gymnastics. You will be...
