We started at My Gym when my daughter was 2.5. Now she is 3 and although we are cancelling for the time being, we hope to be back. She absolutely adores the teachers, has done well in the class, and loves the various skills she learns and friends she makes.
We paid $65 a month with a military discount, which is by far the least inexpensive in the area. We tried all of the places that offered similar courses for young children and we weren't impressed at all. My Gym was our last place to try and by far the best.
I deducted a star because the "make-up" process is a pain. We went on vacation for two weeks and missed two classes. When I went to use them for make-ups, the system let me register for classes my daughter would be a month shy of "qualifying" for and classes that were not actually taking place. Only one of the other classes she was currently enrolled in were available to register a makeup for, which was really inconvenient. So basically, if you have a makeup, don't expect to really use it. We made do and I'm having our babysitter take her since I can't take off work to take her to these. I was disappointed I was told it wouldn't be an issue to use one on the next class up, since she would be so close in age, and in this class when we returned in the fall, but in fact I wasn't allowed to.
Anyway, we love the teachers, love the class, love the experience. We hope to be back in the fall if they have any openings. I hope they expand their offerings because as they stand right now, there doesn't appear to be enough or of the...
Read moreFirst time coming in. I had signed my children up online for the Memorial Day camp. We were greeted by a guy behind the desk. He provided socks & that was all. Didn't ask for my kids names or ages. So the kids go play. Then I hear the staff calling out "if you're in my group then get your things & come over here". So again this our first time coming there so I wasn't aware of any groups. I didn't want my kids left out so I asked for clarity what was happening. The same guy was starting to annoy me the way he was answering my questions. My questions were "hey what are the groups, what are you guys about to do & were my children placed in groups" A young girl stepped to answer my questions & she provided way more straight to the point answers like THANK YOU that's all I wanted. Idk what was with the guy. But still another lady & her kid came in & she was greeted, asked her kid name & age & was told what was happening at the moment, that the kid was in her group & he could go do arts & crafts if wanted to cause he just missed it. The young lady greeted them. My children didn't get that same treatment. I wish she had greeted us, she was nice. Idk if im bringing my children back...
Read moreWe dropped by this location on a whim to check it out. I chatted briefly with Diane (boss lady) who was very kind. She game me helpful info about the location. I appreciated the paper, and not being told to look it up online. There was a birthday party at the time. I didn't want to intrude, but my one year old had other plans. He wanted to play with the little kids. The woman (who I assume) was the birthday boy's mom was so kind. She came over and said, "does your little one want a picture with Bluey?" We got some photos and he played for about ten minutes with the birthday kids. The family was very kind and patient with the complete strangers who crashed the party. We're from Northern VA so kind people are foreign to me. Lol. Anyway - thank you! Ok, back to the location. The pricing is reasonable. It was clean. We'll...
