My daughter has been doing gymnastics for four (going on 5) years now. She started off at an ok gym but then we heard about 360 and switched. Their building and equipment is all brand new! You don't fall through gaps at the end of tumbletrack or have to use mats where the filling is coming out (and you don't need to pile more than one mat for safety!) Also it does not ""smell"" like a gym which is VERY nice! Their coaching staff is very caring and professional! At the other gym my daughter had had 3 coaches in 3 years (1 was for a rec. class the other were for the same level and would have had another different coach if we stayed) but at 360 she has had the same coach this year that she had last year and I am confident she will continue to have. I believe having the same coach is important to the success and emotional well being of a child. My daughter is the type of child that needs to really trust her coach before trying new skills, and that happened almost immediately! The new skills and strengths she has accomplished (in only 1 year) is remarkable!! The connection the coaches have with the kids is amazing! I have been sitting in the waiting area and the kids come in for their classes and run and give the teachers hugs! (I never saw that at the other gym.) I cannot believe the affect that changing to a GREAT gym has had on my daughter! Yes the price is a little more but it is WELL worth it for the happiness and success of your child!
Pros: Great Parents Association to help offset the costs of competing!
Cons: I have to agree that parking is tough but they are working on expanding the parking lot!
