This place is a laughing stock. I went in off the street w/ 0 experience, other than what I had learned on YouTube, and was able to correct their instructions. Horrible please don’t waste your time .

My daughter and I went to balcony today in order to sign her up for gymnastics.we met Coach Denise and Michael who is the owner of the gym. They were both so friendly and very inviting to my daughter.She is usually very shy upon meeting people.they seem to bring her right out of her shell.We are so excited to start at the gym tomorrow it appears to be very clean and well-kept and the children that were practicing seem to be very happy to be there by the smiles on all of their little faces.

My daughter has been attending Balcony for 7 years. Unfortunately, the previous reviews do not provide an objective viewpoint of the facility and staff, but rather jaded opinions. When involved with any sport, parents are required to pay booster fees and other sport related costs, including a small portion of coaching stipends. The fees that our family has encountered are competitive with other gyms in the area and are also comparable to fees associated with other sports. To address two of the reviews- not ALL of the coaches are teenagers, nor do all of them spend their time yelling at the kids. Each coach has their own training style which sometimes does include being firm with the kids or raising their voice to accommodate for the noise that others are making. Many of the coaches are very well trained and current or former athletes/gymnasts themselves. Although I will not speak of this coach's name publicly- there is one coach there who all of the girls respect and admire, who has been there longer than my daughter has and is the fittest woman that I know. She has accompanied my daughter to competitions many times and even if her competition was at the end of the day, this coach was encouraging and enthusiastic as ever!

I'd like to start out by saying: We love balcony. The cons: They are pretty disorganized. I'm never sure what my child needs order to advance to the next level-and sometimes it's hard to get a straight answer to my questions about this. Also, they are always rotating coaches. You never know when your child's coach will disappear and be replaced. For a while I tried to manuver my child into classes with coaches I thought would motivate her the most-but there's no telling whether a coach will stay or go. This could be easily remedied by a good manager to really put things in order. The Pros: They are really friendly. The coaches are young, but they seem to know their stuff pretty well-at least for the beginner level classes. The people at the desk are really helpful and try their best to help you out. (Especially Stacey and Kris) We love coach Louie! He's a yeller, but you can tell he genuinely likes each child. He really gets the most out of the kids-they want to work hard for him. The team coaches sometimes take time to talk to and teach the lower level students. I think that's nice and shows that they aren't snobby about "The Team." We love Balcony, and hope to have a great relationship with the business for years to come.
