"We signed my 4 years old daughter up for holiday camp, which she was very excited to attend. After the first day of trying the camp, my daughter came home upset, saying, "Please don't make me go back! I have never seen my daughter being upset over any activities she did! She has just successfully finished the swim program and, prior to that, attended dance where she performed at a recital! Never ever an issue! The Balcony director told my wife that my 4 years old didn't want to participate and didn't listen! She then talked to another child who is 5 y.o. referring to him as "immature"! They expected 4-5 years olds to participate in the activities with older kids! My daughter said the activities were confusing to her, and there was little help from her trainers! It is obvious that the staff and the director are not professional at what they do! It is easier to blame little kids who can't advocate for themselves rather than to educate your staff!"

"We were excited to sign up for holiday camp this week, but after trying today we will never be back here! My 4.5 years old daughter went home upset and nearly crying saying she doesn’t want to go back! When I spoke to the director before enrolling I was told my daughter will be placed with her age and that the activities are tailored to their age! Today the director told me they had to combine little ones with the big kids and my daughter didn’t do well with the activities. When I asked my daughter she told me she was confused with the activities and that the coaches were frustrated with her! My daughter usually doesn’t have a problem following instructions and she loves to participate and try something new. She has experience with dance, gymnastics, swimming, and goes to school full time! In fact, I teach activity classes myself and she has never had any problems following directions with me or her other teachers! It is obvious to me that this place is not equipped in dealing with young ones! We will definitely look elsewhere for quality classes and professional personal"

"I have young kids and Coach Ari is patient and talented at working with children. She’s so good with them. We drive an hour each way to go these classes. 100% worth it. My kids learn a lot and have fun."

"We attended a birthday party at Balcony Sports. My 4 year old loved running around playing on the tramp, foam pit and large mats. They had steps in the bathroom so she can reach. And the little party room was perfect. The staff decorated, cut the cake and cleaned everything up. My daughter didn’t want to leave. They even had an awesome playground out front. My daughter has told me several times she wants to come back."

"My daughter started in Balcony three years ago. She had amazing coaches that help her to develop discipline and of course gymnastics. She also attended to summer camp and no school camp. All councelors are nice and she loves to go to Balcony. I want to thank Stacy (she is at the front) for always help me and answering all my questions. And a huge THANKS to coach Carly, there are no words that can describe how thankful I am, thanks for teaching my daughter, thanks for encouraged her on every class, you have a gift and you are amazing. Wishing you the best in your new journey. Claudia and Ari."
