Perfect Balance Athletics 30 Forest Mill Lane, Akron, OH 44319

"We came here after my daughters previous gym which was amazing. We came here on the recommendation of one of my daughters friends, who was in another level above my daughter. This was a huge mistake , not only was my daughter bullied by other kids the whole vibe of this place is pretentious. While here my daughter lost a lot of skill sets that she had due to not ever being allowed to try anything new, she also lost confidence in herself due to the environment she was in. I am also going to say to other parents to be wary of teenage coaches , our daughters coach would constantly talk about getting other jobs, play favorites with friends on the team and provide almost 0 feedback to the other gymnasts that she was coaching. When I brought this to the head coaches attention she dismissed my criticism all together saying she saw no issues with what was going on. After talking to other parents at the gym this seems to be an ongoing issue at this facility. Basically your experience is going to vary widely based on who your coach is for the year. In the end we were paying a lot of money for something I was having to drag my kid to go do, I am not going to do that. I do the best I can to support small business in my community , I would have liked to stay at this gym its close my house and in general has a ok reputation. The reality is for parents making this choice is you either have a really good coach and a really good experience , or its a nightmare, if people are going to support small business then those places must be open to feedback from their customers, not everything is personal. We ended up choosing another gym and are very happy with it. Parents please do your research on who is coaching your children , they may be some of the best gymnasts in the world but doing and teaching are 2 different things."

"I can't say enough wonderful things about perfection balance! The owner worked with me to give my daughter with developmental disabilities the opportunity to learn gymnastics in a way that worked for her. Not only did she find a way to accommodate me, she didn't price gouge like most places I've experienced do based on her special needs. Also, Coach Pam is PHENOMENAL! She is so amazing with my daughter! I've have never seen her so laser focused. She teaches in a way that my daughter listens and learns. So grateful I found perfect balance. Highly recommend!!!"

"Amazing! I cannot say enough good things about this business. I looked very hard at where my daughter should go and by far this is the perfect fit for our daughter. Incredibly clean, well organized, fantastic communication, very welcoming for both family and student. The instruction is appropriate for both my daughter’s skill and age. I prayed and researched to find a gym that would help me feel comfortable allowing my daughter to learn gymnastics and my prayers were answered."

"This gym has become the favorite place for my family's birthday parties since our kids started coming for open gyms! The staff are all great and very friendly with kids and adults alike. I appreciate the fact it is always clean also! Now that some of our kids are taking classes I can see how well the coaches handle the kids and I love it even more! I also noticed a class of kids with special needs when I was there. How great is that! I highly recommend this gym and all the coaches and staff! Great place for kids to learn!"

"My daughter joined a team here recently and loves it. It is structured and seems to operate very efficiently. The instruction is terrific and seems to encourage their athletes to work to their full potential. She said everyone is very friendly, including her teammates. Communication is great between the gym and the parents. It is most definitely the best ran gym around the area."
