DO NOT SEND YOUR BLACK CHILDREN HERE! This my absolute 1st review ever online, but I felt so violated by this company that I had to. Do not send your child to this place if you are black. They charged me for my 4 years daughter a trial class for $20 with a group of kids but the white couple that came immediately behind us approx 8 received a trial class ALONE for free. When I was came up to pay both the owner Mina and especially the instructor was surprised I was paying. The difference was the owner recovered faster but the instructor looked at her like why is she giving us money - utterly confused. When I asked her why is she surprised I'm paying she said 'because she new she only started with us this summer'. The summer's almost over she's 3 months into the semester! I'm certain I'm not the first person taking a trial class with this instructor! oh please. Mina was very helpful at suggesting new places to take my child that was not there instead of trying to see if she could accommodate the scheduling. When she saw that I was uncomfortable with the situation she gave my daughter a free leotard which I wanted to give back to her but my kid was so pleased I held it in not to be petty. When I got home and I thought about the straight forward pissing in my shoes and telling me its raining routine for $20 I emailed her that she can take her leotard back and give me my money! The instructors are very darling and gentle with the kids. but the management is obviously very racist and if you don't speak up they will get the best of you while acting as if they are trying to help. Mina: as I told you before in which you saw me speaking to the parent I asked the child's parent if they were charged she said NO! So I am not lying! I don't want this $5 leotard that you are selling for $40! You gave it to me for free because as you stated "you felt bad" your behavior was unquestionable even as you joked you didn't know if the lil black kid in your company leotard was a girl or boy because of his hair! I will not remove my review! How dare you call me a liar when I spoke to the child's mom directly. As I stated to you before anything you charge for one child should be the same across the board. I will return this $40 leotard and you can keep that 20 bucks and let the next black kid try out for free! You tried to find us another class for us because you didn't want us there! Thanks for the one token black kid on your website 🙄 I will gladly pay more elsewhere for better service where I don't have to pay more than the white family. It took 4 days for your coach to get back to us! Your service is horrendous. The two young girls you have coaching were the nicest thing about your gym 🙄 And if you charged that family after I made a complaint I'm certain it's only because you don't want my statements to be true because the mom informed me her trial class for free when I told her oh they charged me she looked baffled! All she gave me was the I dunno shoulder shrug. Treat all families fairly! I don't care if your trial class is 100 buck as long as I am not the only one that has to pay $100. I'm done with this say whatever you want I'm taking my child elsewhere and you can have this leotard back and you can...

I cannot begin to express how much I appreciate Prospect Gymnastics. My daughter began attending when she was 7, and now she is almost 11! The coaches are amazing. They are encouraging and supportive while teaching the students a variety of skills. They push them in a positive way, but do not push them beyond what they can handle. The classes are generally small, but no matter the size of the class, my daughter still gets a great deal of personal attention and the coaches work with her on the skills she needs to improve.

I was also impressed with the way the coaches maintained a connection with the students even when schools closed and everything went remote, They continued to hold virtual classes and connected with the students. Coach Breanna called our house to talk to my daughter and see how she was doing, and Coach Mina came and tumbled with my daughter in our backyard (equipped with mask and gloves of course). I am beyond grateful for Prospect Gymnastics for helping my daughter develop confidence and discipline while having fun and...

I've visited this place maybe 3 times in 2022, and each time I went my toddler has gotten sick. I even spaced the timing of my visits to maybe a month or 2 apart and a few days later my baby was sick. I knew it was from here because we haven't visited anywhere else. The place is really small and I don't think that they disinfect it very well after everyone leaves. It also doesn't help that people bring kids there with visible runny noses. (It shouldn't be allowed in my opinion, although I haven't reviewed their sick policy) 1 year later, I recently had a conversation with a parent this week February 15th, 2023 who mentioned that her toddler has gotten sick after visiting. I am posting because I care, and wanted to share my experience. Hope it helps...even of it forces the staff...
