Reviews of 5 Star Sports Academy
"We recently attended a birthday party here and both of my girls (age 3 & 8) had a wonderful time. There were so many fun things for the kids to do that they didn’t need to wait long for a turn on anything. Also I’ve never seen so much staff at a birthday party! The staff was involved in the party and spread out throughout the gym not clustered together chatting. Also as soon as the party moved on to the party room the staff got right to work cleaning the gym. I would definitely recommend!"
"The staff were so great with my special needs daughter during a friend's party. They were quick, kind, and caring. I really appreciate all the help they provided!"
"If you don't have time to read the details, the summary is that your money is more important to Five Star than you are. Unfortunately, when money is the motivation for a business, customers get taken advantage of. This is our story with Five Star. Last summer, after watching the Olympics, my dance daughter decided that she wanted to try gymnastics. Personally, I wasn't for it, but I figured that she should do what she thought she loved. So, come September 2021, we did trial classes at 3 different gyms. While I couldn't decide between gyms, my daughter chose Five Star because she felt that she wasn't babied during the trial class. Fair enough, we enrolled in Five Star. I want to pause here to preface my comments (below) by saying that, bar one, I sat through every class and observed every single thing that was done. This is the teacher in me, details are everything. Anyway, from what I observed, the kids NEVER moved on from the initial skills that they learned. While they rotated equipment each week, they never learned more/different skills on the same equipment. I personally felt that my daughter was ready and could have been pushed to learn a lot more new skills, but she wasn't. Around January 2022, my daughter told me after class that her teacher suggested that she try out for the team. My husband and I were not too keen on the idea because of the skimpy clothing gymnasts wear. However, our daughter begged us and I received a guarantee from Five Star that if our daughter made the team, she would be able to compete with pants. Okay, great. Here's the one catch though - I was told that if my daughter wanted to make the team, she should take private lessons with her weekly rec gymnastics teacher. Alarm bells went off for hubby and I because this sounded shady. Our daughter was supposedly strong enough (according to her teacher) to make the team, but we needed to pay an extra $60 per private lesson for the same teacher to teach her the new skills she needed to know? Sounded like we were going to be taken advantage of, but alas, we trusted the teacher. To try to cut a long story shorter, our daughter was taught the same skills over and over again in the private lessons, and they were the skills that she was already strong in, mostly. She was not properly prepped for the team tryout. Our daughter even asked her teacher on different occasions if she would be learning anything new, to which the teacher replied that she just needed to practice. After the fact, Five Star had the audacity to tell me that I should have done the private lessons with a team coach instead of my daughter's non-team coach. So apparently, it was my fault that my daughter was not prepared for the team tryout. There was also the idea that it was my daughter's fault too because she didn't know the skills - the skills that I paid extra for her to learn. Five Star took no responsibility that their coach didn't teach her the skills she needed to know. And before they come on here and try to say differently, here's a list of the skills that my daughter supposedly needed to know to pass the tryouts. The yes/no in parentheses indicates the skills that were taught/were not taught in the private lessons (I sat through every single one and observed everything). - Legs & body tight on vaults (no) - Pull over without spotting (yes, but with spotting) - Glide swing (no) - Cast without spotting (no) - Splits (no) - Upper body Strength exercises (yes) - Chin ups (yes, once) - leg lifts (yes, one) - balance beam straight jump (no) - tuck jump on balance beam (no) - split jump on balance beam (no) - split leap on balance beam (no) - back handspring on floor (no, she was taught to do it in the foam pit) - full turn on floor(no) - split leap on floor (no) Thankfully a new gym is opening up close by. We'll either be there, or because of her height, we'll try rhythmic gymnastics. My daughter loves sports and is involved in soccer and swimming as well, so no love lost with gymnastics."
"We had a fantastic experience with 5 star for my son’s 2nd birthday party! All the children had so much! The staff was very patient, able to guide the kids throughout the gym activities while the kids explored, and they were very organized. I highly recommend birthday parties with 5 star. We also attend bagels and babies and jump and play and my son is a huge fan of both events!"
"My daughter always has an absolutely amazing experience here. The entire staff from Front Desk, instructors and owners are wonderful and very helpful! The facility is great and we are super happy when my daughter comes out with nothing but smiles!"
