Bart Conner Gymnastics Academy

"My son was a member for about six years. While there were some highlights—he was in pretty good shape physically and the first few meets helped build confidence—overall, it was a dreadful experience. Dues are extreme, which is to be expected in any sport, but the kids are treated like cattle. Leadership doesn’t care for the individual. Only the bottom line. Even the head guy is breathtakingly rude, somehow forgetting that you’re paying him and not the other way around. If $200+/month in dues isn’t enough, you are constantly in a cycle of fundraising for them. Fail to meet their absurdly high goals, and they’ll make you pay out of pocket. On top of that, they require you work the meets as “volunteers”, and even make you pay for the shirt. The facilities are dreadfully outdated and constantly filthy. You’d swear they just moved out. And good luck getting the attention of the person at the counter. They constantly operate far above what should be legal capacity for the gym, with a veritable herd of parents crammed into the lobby during pick-up times. Fire hazard anyone? The few good coaches they had fled, leaving inexperienced kids in their late teens and early twenties to “herd cats.” As such, bullying is rampant among the kids, so much so our son would come home in tears. Do yourself a favor and drive a little further to Edmond or Bounce, where there’s smaller groups with coaches who won’t treat your children like they’re a burden and you’ll see your kids actually win medals. One final note: I wrote this a year after my son quit. The more I think about the experience the worse it gets."

"The waiting room is in terrible condition. The chairs are broken,stained and need to be replaced. Front entrance staff not very helpful or friendly. Mr Conner needs to spend some money on his waiting room furniture and chairs."

"Coaches are good, gym and equipment are good but the receptionist is rude, the gym has extremely long wait times for advancement and they do not value their customers, also they have poor communication. For new people just getting into gymnastics this probably isn’t a good spot for you, it seemed very much about who you know, not what you know or how good you are. Also Don’t count on their social media accounts for information, they don’t share it on there, they expect you to follow their website but you wouldn’t know that because their communication is weak. Bottom line is I am pulling my daughter out of Bart Conner because of the receptionist. They need to re evaluate what is important to that gym, the customers or that rude unhelpful lady at the front seat."

"We are in the parent & cubby class and loving it! The teacher does so well with the kids. My daughter learns a new move at every class ❤️"

"Bart Conner birthday parties are amazing! All the activities are so fun and the staff run a really tight ship. They do the setup and cleanup for you and get everyone where they need to be so efficiently. Adults and kids all had a blast and I didn’t have to lift a finger. Best kid party ever."
