TGC- The Gymnastics Center, Cincinnati OH

PLEASE READ FULL REVIEW
The Owner Michelle is about money, which is very unfortunate. The teams can be very overpopulated. The coaches that they have does not match their ratio for a team. They promise you one thing and deliver another. Throughout the entire season, it has been an awful experience, pretty much due to lack of ability to actually train the girls when we went to other competitions TGC girls lacked skills and confidence as well as performance as this should be established during conditioning. This was a terrible terrible terrible experience for me. I got to hear about all the other horrible complaints that other moms had as well. How the owners does not seem to care about the girls skills, and how some of the girls have the same level of skills every year. The cost of the tuition was super high and not only did we miss days due to the holidays. If you miss a day, in general, you’re not allowed to make that day up. The team camp is a joke the time frame is absolutely unreasonable for people that have to work in office. They were so unprepared for competitions. It was embarrassing to see how other gymnastics places had their teens in order for whatever, but when it came to our we clearly showed a lack in ability do to the training they received by coach’s their practice time is like two hours two days a week and they spend more time seemed like on stretching than actually doing the skills, 3 girls on one balance beam, and if you don’t know how to do a skill they tell you to book a private lesson which cost more money. The system that the owner Michelle has set up is a complete rip off, and it only seems to benefit her financially.

If I could leave 0 stars I would after our experience today. My daughter has gone here off and on for the past two years between gymnastics, dance class, and private lessons. Don’t get me wrong, we have had some good experiences here, like making new friends and enjoying new accomplishments like being able to walk the balance beam by herself for the first time. But when my child leaves a class in tears from the teacher not treating her the same as the other kids in the class, that is not okay. Today this included the teacher telling her she needs to take turns as soon as she and another child got on the teeter totter but the other child had nothing said to her, the teacher ignoring her when she asked to be the line leader and then purposely making a point to NOT make her line leader and letting the other two kids in the class be the line leader over and over, the teacher acting annoyed with her and not walking her through routines, letting other children cut in front of her on the way to the trampoline and again acting annoyed because my child was upset, and honestly all around not making her feel included in a class of three children. These are CHILDREN they are working with, if they can not be adult enough and capable enough to set aside their own petty frustration and be compassionate then they should not be working with children. I can not explain the feeling of seeing my own child be treated this way and in tears that the teacher was being “mean to her”.

We love open gym on Wednesday mornings. My 2 year old has a blast and they have it set up differently everything. It has been so cool watching his progression as he tries doing new stuff each time. Great way to burn off some toddler energy

The Tiny Tots class was underwhelming. Her teacher with the glasses doesn’t seem To engage well with that age range. She kinda has this expression of an annoyed teenager being forced to babysit her siblings. Very little enthusiasm, very little encouragement, very little assistance and Not much instruction. My kid hasn’t learned any flips or anything on the equipment. It’s pretty much just recess……. Expensive recess.

Great place for kids to have fun, do there training and learn gymnastics. My granddaughter loves this place.
