"If you are looking at gymnastics for your child, I highly suggest going elsewhere. My child was “promoted” to a higher level gymnastics class which entailed a teenager standing around while the kids hung out by themselves with a spotter every once in a while. They don’t actually perform anything, there’s no progress reports of any kind and no actual goals set for them to hit. It’s literally just glamorous babysitting. I won’t even get into the class fees and charging issues to both parents bank accounts. Money money money. Check out Cincinnati gymnastics academy instead."

"I used to go to the old West Chester Academy before they moved here as a kid. I have tried ballet and tap dancing. I used to receive music lessons here as well and I think I went to some sort of camp or something here too, but I can’t remember because it was almost a decade since I last came here. However, my friends have came to the new location and I have been there in the process of waiting for them. I was banned from the old location a long time ago when I was a young child after having an outburst. That’s the only reason I’m giving it four stars because they banned me even though that doesn’t really matter anymore because I don’t live in that state anymore but other than that it was a great place. This is where I began my musical Journey with piano, and it’s a decade after my first lesson, and I’m still playing."

"My daughter loved the trial aerial class yesterday! My son also liked his trial gymnastics class. The receptionists were so friendly and helped me answer my questions as well as introduced the instructor to my daughter. I love how WCA has a variety of classes for all ages."

"We checked in at the front desk for our first trial parent and child gymnastics class. We were told to wait until his class was called and then go from there. They called us back and that was the last instruction we received. We weren’t told anything else - what to do, where to go, etc. I basically just followed the other parents/students but quickly found out that no one was going to say anything to me… My child has special needs so he had a couple meltdowns during the class and people just kept looking at us like they had never witnessed a toddler cry… I was just so disappointed with the entire process. It took me 15 minutes to realize there were multiple classes happening in the gym at the same time and we weren’t even with our class at one point - no one ever gave us any clear direction and my child was overwhelmed with having multiple classes going on at once without any clear instruction. We will not be back as it was not a good fit for my child - but also because the inclusion piece is really lacking from what I saw today. We will stick with swim classes."

"My daughter is loving her theater class. I love having the camera in the room so I can watch her on my phone. Fair pricing. I like they staff being at the desk for questions, concerns, to keep an eye on the kids."
