"I just saw a very unsettling review posted about Kristi and her gym and I can honestly say that neither Kristi or her employees are anything like what was stated! I'm going to share some personal information, that up until now, I wasn't comfortable sharing. Both of my daughters are team members and in January my family suffered a horrific loss. My 44 year old husband whom I'd been with since we were 12 and the father of my 4 children died from sudden cardiac death. My family's world was turned upside down. He was our sole income provider. We owned our own business which I was unable to operate without him. Kristi, posted the go fund me page for my daughters, parents from the gym set up a meal train. Every coach contacted me in some way or another and every coach took my girls under their wing. That, to me, doesn't sound like someone who only cares about money and not her athletes. When I realized that I would no longer be able to afford gymnastics for my daughter's, I contacted Kristi to thank her for everything she had done for my family. Her response was, " I don't think you understand. The gym is going to pay both girls tuition until they graduate high school.". I was beside myself. I remember crying and saying to myself that at least out of all of this trauma my girls will have one thing remain unchanged. My girls could not have gotten through this horrific life altering tragedy without Kristi, the other coaches, the gym parents or the gym. As far as I'm concerned this other parent should be ashamed of herself. Kristi and her gym are the exact opposite of what had been portrayed by this other parent. All Kristi cares about are her gymnasts and their families. I can't think if a more positive environment I would want my girls in!"

"Waterford gymnastics is an amazing gym. My daughter started out in the recreational classes at 3 and has since moved into team. Kristi was phenomenal about explaining all aspects of team to us, and what was expected. The coaches are very supportive in helping my daughter succeed as a gymnast. We would highly recommend classes or team to any parent."

"My daughter lydia has been going to Waterford gymnastics since she was 2.5. She is now 9. Kristi and her coaches have been able to get the best out of my daughter. lydia also plays softball. Everyone knows how demanding gymnastics is and how much time is required to excel as a gymnast. Kristi is always accommodating, allowing us to switch practice days and times durning the week so that my daughter can compete at a high level in gymnastics and still play softball. Not a lot of coaches will allow that. I highly recommend this gym."

"We gifted our daughter gymnastics lessons for Christmas after noticing her preferred mode of transportation were cartwheels. Coach Kristi, Coach Cassidy and Coach Steph and ALL the other coaches here are absolutely amazing. They challenge our daughter while building a trusting relationship with her so she can be her best. I am amazed at how much progress she's made and can't wait to watch her grow as a WGC Gymnast!"

"We had my son’s party there and it was absolutely perfect! The staff were absolutely fantastic. My son has autism and historically parties have been difficult for him. I have tears writing this because of how kind and thoughtful the two staff were that we’re working today. I shared when we got there a little about my son and they went above and beyond to discuss with me about the group photo, trophy and even asked how they can help if he gets upset during these things I said I’d still like to do. This was the best party my son has has so far. The two girls working were so helpful, attentive but not overboard. The place was absolutely perfect as we had never been. There was plenty for everyone and so many fun things for the kids to do and space for each to do their own thing. We had a wonderful experience today and will be back."
