Our 2 1/2 year old daughter loves North Coast Gymnastics. We attend open gym sessions and take the toddler classes offered regularly. This is a great safe facility with friendly staff and affordable rates. I would highly recommend North Coast for kids of any age.
I originally wrote a low star review based on the experience of not being able to enter the gym to see my child closer or inspect the premises if I so choose. I did not intend to spend more than a minute or two on the gym floor. I was going mainly to encourage my son. I was immediately told it was gym policy I could not enter the floor. However, I also feel as a parent, I should have that right for whatever reason I see fit.
The owner followed up with me by phone. He explained the challenges of insurance, some state laws, and other parent perceptions if I were to enter the gym floor and they are instructed not to. While I certainly understand those concerns, I know I have been to other gyms where parents enter the premises without waivers (for example the trampoline zone etc). Generally, you sign a waiver for participants. But I also understand the logistical or liability concerns.
All of that being said, I do appreciate the call but hope the business owner will consider ways to improve or allow occasional parent interaction with gymnasts. I think it is not too much to ask.
Our family regularly attends North Coast Gym. We have taken our daughter to open gym and classes for over a year and she absolutely adores it. We started when she was 12 months old. The coaches staff and parents are so amazing with the little ones. Our daughter has learned so much from attending and she absolutely admires the coaches and staff (especially Coach Steph). It's amazing how interactive everyone with all the kids from the moment you walk in to the moment you exit. It's so nice to know our daughter is watched over so closely and is in a safe, clean, productively energetic atmosphere. If you haven't had the opportunity to take your child here yet you are missing out!!! There are so many endless illuminating and intriguing activities for all of the age groups!! We want to wish a special Thank you to all the coaches and staff. We cherish coming here and greatly anticipate the entertainment and joyful years to follow!! Thank you Kent and Bekah for all of your hard work!
