“Our three kids come here for gymnastics every Saturday. This facility is always organized, well prepared, and very clean. The coaches are each great and our kids are all clearly progressing in their skills! Other gymnastics places nearby can be very chaotic and disorganized — not to mention trying to schedule classes for three kids can result in three different timeslots per week. We switched to ASI so we could get good experiences for all three kids all at the same Saturday timeslot! Not only that, but we had our 6 year old’s birthday party here and it exceeded our expectations! The hosts were absolutely phenomenal with the kids. Great energy, everybody had a blast, and they take care of everything so you as the parent can just relax and take pictures. Our son was very clearly loving his birthday party, and I am so so grateful that we chose to have it at ASI! This will be our go-to birthday party venue going forward!”

“For the most part, my kids enjoy their classes here. However, the favoritism that I witness with my PreK’s class is actually upsetting. I’m a former preschool gymnastics director and from the bleachers, there are so many things that can be done differently so that the class is not as chaotic. Having the kids sit down and showing them step by step what they need to do for obstacle courses is one - rather than them figuring it out as they approach each station and then expecting 3 and 4 year olds to know what to do/where to go. Allowing each kid to have a turn as the “line leader” as they move through the gym is another. Clapping for and celebrating each child in class equally is another. These sound like small complaints but for the price of tuition, parking lot traffic, etc - it would be nice for the class experience to be worth my kids’ time and neither of them feel as if they are/were being left out. I will say. The facility is always clean and someone always greets us when we walk in and out.”

“When I see something concerning I do my best to inform the people in charge. I have seen uncountable scary and dangerous scenes in my life in different parts of this planet, in countries from the First and the Thirld World in three different continents. It is very rare to feel uncomfortable or afraid unless it involves my child or my wife. Thts why, if I see a guy drinking a beer in the restroom of a public library I will report it (like I did) to the front desk and the police because that is not a bar. That's how I felt last Friday (01/24). I brought my daughter for a make up class, and there were parents sitting on the regular tribunes. One of then decided it was the perfect time to take a nap, so he laid down and covered his face. It was a very disgusting and ghetto-like spectacle. He looked like a tramp or a homeless person sleeping the hangover. I tried to wait patiently for him to correct that, but it did not happen. I saw the faces of other parents, and they did not look pleased either. I kept thinking if I should get up to say something, so I finally did. I went to the front to report this and to explain why I did not want my daughter seeing adults sleeping in a place that is not to sleep. They said they will tell the manager, Ms. Ashley. I shared how the Mesquite location was super ghetto and there were people eating, yelling profanities, and doing other things that should not be allowed on a family place. That's why we left and came to Plano. So far, people had been respectful and the facilities clean. After several minutes, Ms. Ashley came to talk.. to me!! It was very awkward. She said that the individual had been there for hours (I don't think it was true) and probably "he was very tired, but you shouldn't worry because this is not something that it is always happening, and this is a safe place for your child". I think I literally dropped my jaw. I was in total disbelief and I just said "ok". I knew it was pointless to argue. I had gone to the people in charge to do something about a situation that should not had happened in the first place. My daughter comes to class at 7pm and I am also very tired after a long day of work. I'm sure other parents are also really tired, but we know how to have behavior standards, and if I ever was super sleepy I would go to my car. The website says this is a family place. Why should I have to expose my family to people who want to just do whatever they want without caring for the surroundings? He finally woke up, and guess what. He started vaping. It was just a couple of touches, but he kept his vape in his hand until everyone went home. Of course, I thought, these are the people that are protected and not told anything about their actions. He goes to sleep, he vapes. Bravo, ASI!! That was honestly strike 1. Today I am watching my girl's regular class and there is another parent having dinner and dropping food in the same public family place. Strike 2 in less than a week. Of course, I only waste my time once. I have no doubts Ms. Ashley reply is going to be something like "Probably she is very hungry" (poor little thing) if I went to talk to her. I requested a solution and the manager decided to come and talk to me like I was the problem. I respected and followed the appropriate channels to do this. I disagree with what happened after that, and that's why I am super thankful for social media and avenues like Yelp, Google, and TripAdvisor to share this. My hope is that leadership above Ms. Ashley reads this and emphasize family standards and behaviors. It is not enough to say that this is a family place. Show me, don't tell me.”

“Love this place! My kiddo has done gymnastics and Ninja classes and the coaches are all great! You can tell the coaches love being there. Definitely a fun environment and my kiddo loves it! Highly recommend!”
