This gym is losing athletes by the week. Beth and Steven boast of a training philosophy that they will get the best out of your athlete, but reality hits hard when they tell your kid they are fat,, faking injuries, or that they will ""never make it"". If you are a parent and are even slightly critical of the Raybeckis, they tell you to find a new gym. You can take your kid to a doctor and they will tell you the doctor is wrong.. its unbelievable. A once proud gym has sadly lost their level 10 optional team to other gyms where those girls have EXCELLED under better coaching. Beth and Steven Raybecki's response? Other gyms are ""stealing our girls"" which is funny comming from a guy whose wife (Beth) was officially sanctioned this year for trying to recruit gymnasts at THE NATIONALS! The glory days of Charter Oaks Gymnastics are gone.
Pros: long pedigree of success
Cons: Arrogance, disregard for safety, mind games
