This gym is okay. There is no communication between coaches and during my daughters 1 year and 4 months there at level one she cycled through probably 6 different coaches. She never advanced past level one because she continually got new coaches. When I talked to each new coach they would all say she’s so close and just about to move up. This went on for a year. At some point it kills the kids motivation to continue when they are doing the same thing for 1.5 years. It gets boring so she stops giving it 100%. It’s also difficult to determine what needs work in order to advance. The coaches don’t communicate anything to you. And each coach singled out a different thing to work on. You have to ask the coaches for progress updates which is difficult during the 2 minute transition between classes. They do testing every 8 weeks and you get an email with some star rating for each move. There’s no description on what the moves mean or what percentage of perfect score is needed to advance. There’s really no guidelines for advancement. It’s just “when the coach feels they are ready.” My daughter is not the best but there was no communication when it comes to how she could improve. WARNING Also be aware of the cancellation policy. You have to pay for the last month when signing up and they require 30 days notice to cancel. I cancelled today September 2 so one would assume this could be applied to the next 29 days of September and 1 prorated day in October. This is not the case. They billed me for September already so the last month I prepaid was applied to October. That’s essentially 60 days past cancellation, not 30. Also I paid for the full last month but somehow my end date is October 17. So despite a full months payment my daughter only attends 3 of the 5 classes in October. Even if I cancelled August 30 or 31 it would not have been enough time to stop the auto billing on the first of each month. Therefore you really have to give a 45 days notice to prevent two months billing after your cancellation. And even then you will only get 2-3 classes your last month when you paid for the whole month. I can see why they do this policy. Because it screws people out of two months of payments. That’s a nice chunk of free money with each cancellation.

Coaches do not seem to care about the kids, we were having problems with one of the coaches and instead of having a conversation about our concerns, the coach said he would gladly fill out our paper work to leave the gym. The manger was present for this behavior and did not intervene. Speaking of the manager we were at this gym for 3 to 4 years and she has never once acknowledged my kids or my wife and I. This gym is all about the money and are not afraid to hold back its athletes for maximum profit. My child has an obvious naturally athletic gift, she has been praised by many of the coaches at the gym. It was very disheartening to have to leave this gym only because my children adored a few of the coaches. We stayed with this gym through covid, kept paying our dues so that they could keep their doors open. Now come to find out the gym is full of toxic individuals we should have left years ago.

We’ve been members for 3 years. The staff is wonderful, communicative and flexible. Their gym has a reputation for caring about the athletes and I can see why. I can’t wait until my younger kids are old enough for parent tot classes.

My nephew has been going to NFGC for several years and he love’s it! They have up to date equipment and the gym is nice and clean. Staff is always friendly and helpful with the kids. I recommend this gym highly!
