Realis Gymnastics Academy

My sister used to come here about 10 years ago. Now I’m bringing my daughter, and she loves it. All the coaches seem to have a positive coaching method, and my daughter seems to always make another new friend. They have different hours for classes which makes it easier for us parents who work a 9-5. Definitely recommend trying it out. 1-2 times a week. It gives kids something to look forward to.

My daughter will no longer train at Realis Gymnastics. I have discounted her membership because she was harassed constantly by her team mate, which was brought to the attention of the staff several times. On 11-10-20 the student threatened to "cut my daughters wrist" with a knife. I immediately brought this to the attention of the staff and the mother of the student. The mother denied that her daughter would say something like that. On 11-12-20 returning to practice, the student and her mother stopped me outside the gym before practice and proceeded to apologize for her daughter saying what she'd previously denied saying. Her mother admitted that her daughter threatened mine...but claimed it was my daughters fault for bullying hers - which she never did. Her daughter lied about doing it, then her mother continued to defend her actions. The gym did not adequately protect my daughter, they instead allowed a student that threatened bodily harm to another student to continue their training. It appears that the gym cares more about financial gains then the safety of their students. Especially in recent times no threats should be taken lightly. I do not feel its safe for my daughter to countiue to go to Realis Gymnastics because of the lack of consequences for that students constant harrasment and threats towards mine.

There was an issue with jenica and my 4 year old daughter who was in Hot Shots. They changed the schedule to their classes three times. Decreased hours and changed days with less than a weeks notice. Little to no communciation between trainers and parents. Jenica left my daughter hanging on a bar with her back towards the wall. My daughter cannot climb that high and couldn't get down especially since her back was towards the bars she needed to get her feet on. She was left there crying and hanging. With another instructor no more than 5 ft away who obviously heard her. As i walked towards my daughter I asked her, "don't you hear her" and she said she "had another class". Their response to that comment was that instructors don't interfere with other instructors training. My response to that is, what about the well being of the child??My daughter had a bruise on her back the following day. The owner said she could have gotten it from anywhere. I have the whole conversation recorded. It's quite disgusting how she treated this situation. No corrective action was taken towards the instructor, even after we were told there would be. We were told we would be called back by the owner and never did. When my sister walked in to take her daughter out of the gym, the owner said that she heard it was taken care of. She was out of town so she couldn't do anything. What type of owner takes no responsibility for her employees actions?? This was not the first or second time Jenica made my daughter cry. The first 2 times I thought it was part of the strengthening process and that she probably pushed too hard without realizing it. I told my daughter to communicate with Jenica when it hurt too much and to just stop if it hurt. But leaving her hanging on a bar, crying, and struggling to stay up and find her footing is disgusting and considered child abuse to me. I had to walk across the gym to get her and no one helped my daughter. I thought for sure someone would get her down before i got to her and no one did. My daughter was blamed for the incidence. We were told maybe she is too young for this class and maybe we should move her down to kinder tots. They were the ones who suggested putting her in Hot Shots. Maybe their instructors are not trained to work with children her age in this "advanced class" where she is the youngest. You would think a good instructor knows what type of child they are working with and know how to adjust their training to their needs. And if this is not the type of gym that does that, then don't suggest putting my daughter in a class that is more advanced. I should have realized the instructor was not fit when she would storm in and out of the secretary's office. Very disrespectful. We were also told that we were refunded the tuition. We were not. She corrected this by saying that we didn't get charged for the following month even though cancelling requires notice. Truly miserable experience. My daughter always get worried when we pass by the gym, asking if we are going to the gym. When i reply with a "no", she reminds me, "good mommy, because they were mean to me and they made me cry and hurt me".
