I took my daughter in for a trial class. It seemed like a great way to introduce her to gymnastics and make friends. I could not have been more mistaken.
I sat in the observation area, terrified. The girls that were in charge of the class were too distracted trying to recruit the new students to give the others any direction. The children are running around, climbing on the bars, jumping from equipment, and risking severe injury. One little girl climbed on top of the highest uneven bar and screamed for help. Only then was she given any attention.
Now I understand why the parents sit in that room. Someone needs to be ready to call an ambulance!
Pros: It looks great.
Cons: Unsafe for children. Questionable teaching ability.
