My son attended GTC for more then a year and loved it. He had great teachers and looked forward to going every week. Once the new school year started however, he moved up into the older class. He began to be bullied by another boy in the class including hitting, kicking, name calling, pushing, and punching. My son was punched in the stomach several times, pushed off equipment, and bit on the arm drawing blood. My husband and I documented every event with written and photo documentation. The center was informed including all staff and the owner. Nothing was done about this bully. I also found out from speaking to other parents and staff members that this boy was aggressive to other children in the class as well and both parents and staff had complained to the owner. Again nothing was done, the owner denied there was any problem (going as far as stating the bully was "a good kid") and some staff were even fired for speaking out against this child!! After consulting with a lawyer my husband and I removed our son from GTC for his protection. I will never bring my children there again and I have never been so disappointed in a business, especially one that claims safety of the children is number one in their gym.
