Tri-Town Gymnastics Center — Local services in Tolland

Class: Intermediate Age 7

Last year I thought the program was run much better (23-24 school year). This year with the move supposed to have happened, there was no communication as to what was going on unless you asked and even then there was so much uncertainty. I understand delays with construction/town approvals etc, but when you are expecting to have signed your child up for a new facility and more space, there should have been clear communication in regards to timelines/expectations etc.

Class size: 16 kids in one class!!!! They advertise 8:1 ratio but the there is one head teacher and one other teacher who spends more time looking at the ceiling and elsewhere or leaning against apparatus then she does teaching. There a 2-3 student helpers which are girls from higher levels who help, but they are not allowed to spot and my daughter crashed on her head 2x due to this fact!

Organization: NON-existent!!!! These kids spent more time sitting around waiting for team kids to clear off an event to then rush to set up mats or whatever and have only a few minutes to “learn”

Teacher: my daughter’s teacher was constantly condescending in her delivery of critiques. Always complaining how she has sooo many classes, or she’s this or that. Even physically picked up a girl about 8 to move her to the other side of the mat for stretching because she was chatting and she was annoyed with it. Wasn’t my kid or this review would be quite different.

Cost: $82 a month as advertised but beware, this is based on 4 WEEK months!!!! (Not advertised) closed for a week to move and still charged full price for the month saying it would be calculated in last month of the class year. That ended up not showing a 1 week credit and when questioned they literally pulled out a calendar to show me I was still getting an extra class for free! WTH!!!!

They spent 5 weeks on the same two events until I said something and not once from when they moved buildings to now have they used the floor for more than 7 minutes!

Overall: my daughter has lost skills she had in September because of the lack in actual coaching. We have started a new gym that actual does conditioning and strength training with them. The overwhelming feeling from many is if you don’t have 100% natural ability they don’t take interest in you. And only when you are team is it when you get the special attention.

Note that you will only ever see photos on their facebook site of littles (2-4) and the team kids at competitions, NEVER of the beginner-intermediate groups because they just don’t seem to care.

Also note: 99% of the 5 star ratings are from years and years ago,...

These people are just liars and completely rude. Before I even decided to bring my 2 year old child there, I called to make sure of a couple of things. I left them a message on a Monday and they didn't get back to me till over a week later (fine whatever people get busy). I decided to try it out and my child was kinda listening to the teachers but not really because of the age. So I finally decided to take my child there and they said that it was fine that they can work with my child that it was normal that my child wasn't really behaving, that in time they would get used to the place and start listening. But this last time that I was there, there was an older woman that wasn't there the first time, and I saw the second my child went in that she had no patiences for my running around child. After only 15 mins in the class the older woman takes my child to the room I was in and told me that my child was not a good listener and that we would have to go to another class and that my child couldn't be in the class, because my child was distracting all the other kids (which all the other kids were listening just find with my child running around). First they don't call back, second they tell you they can handle a 2 year old, and third they rudely kick my child out of the class because the older woman had no patiences. I WILL never be going back...

Fantastic program for all of my children. From my older boys, 8 and 10 years old, who are on team and travel around the state, to my younger girls, 6 year old twins, who participate in recreational classes. The coaches are well experienced and attentive. The younger instructors are good with the children and have great enthusiasm. I would recommend this gym to anyone at any level. From the beginner, who may just want exercise a couple times a week, to the motivated gymnast, who wants to compete across the state and...
