This placed used to be good, however now they are putting childrens lives at risk by forcing them to wear masks while performing their training. We quickly removed our children and will never return or recommend Parkettes. Childrens safety is first. Other gyms do not force the children to wear the mask, as of today I found at least 2, so keep looking. And ask this very important question. Ive spoken to the Governors office. They DO NOT need to mask the children. PLEASE dont put your childrens lives at risk over this nonsense.....

I really like this place. My daughter does different sports and parkettes offers open gym. Its a great way to keep my daughter active. The coaches are good people... Strict sometimes, but its gymnastics. Clean place too.

Do not sign your child up for this if you are not 100% certain they are ready and will enjoy the class. My two-year-old has some sensory sensitivity, and I realized after two classes, she wasnt ready for the class wed signed her up for.Refunds are not permitted - even if you relocate away from the area and cannot use the credit, as in my case. Disappointed in the lack of understanding and flexibility from this establishment. I couldnt even transfer it to another student in need. $150 down the drain.

Parkettes is a phenomenal training center for gymnastics. The coaches are experts in their field and are safety certified. The team environment builds lifelong bonds and teaches so much (i.e., time management, respect, dedication, desire, and determination). All these qualities prove to be great life qualities. I would highly recommend the Parkettes as a training center.

I brought my kids to Kindergym for three months. They really liked it, but it was tough for me. My concerns are not related to the classes per se, but were strong enough to deter me from keeping them enrolled. 1) The space dedicated to parents and family members is awful. Extremely small and uncomfortable. They could make an effort to build a more suitable place were we were not all crammed. I always thought that having a cafeteria might be a great advantage as parents could wait in a more comfortable setting and it could be a good business. 2) I always encountered a bad smell as I entered the space. I think that they could do better at keeping carpets and restrooms clean. 3) The changing space is extremely small. I found myself and other parents changing our kids in the foyer, which of course was very uncomfortable. Staff did not like this, but there was not enough space for us parents to do so. 4) They should request a stop light at the crosswalk. It was very hard to get in an out of the parking lot in front of the gym. Drivers did not stop and sometimes they accelerated while pedestrians were waiting to cross. Parkettes classes do have a good reputation, but with its growing clientele and high tuition they could devote more funds to make it a more pleasant space for parents who have to wait there for at least one hour per week.

My 4 year old daughter went here for 7 months and loved it. Unfortunately, we had to move out of state otherwise we would still be going here. Coach Kara is awesome and we were very lucky to have such a great coach. Most recent experiences at a new place has made me appreciate coach Kara very much. I wish we could have brought her with us!

There are many gyms you could take your child to in the area but only one is world class. They have the coaches and the experience to help your gymnasts achieve their dreams, whether its just something fun to do, or trying to go to college on a scholarship or even the Olympics. My daughter absolutely loves it here! I highly recommend 5 *s!

Birthday Parties at Parkettes are a wonderful time. They put the party together based on your childs age. There are so many things to choose from to have at a birthday party. They have a pirate ship and a moon bounce. There is a trampoline and obstacle courses. Parkettes provides supervised gymnastics activities and games, the invitations and a lot more. Tremendous time for kids up to 6 years old. Great memories!

This place is part of the rotten to the core problem in USA gymnastics. Abuse is thematic in the chase for gold medals. Stay away.
