The palaestra has been like a second home to me! Every time I step foot in there I get welcomed with open arms by all the staff! My daughter started attending mini classes (classes for babies) and she loves it!! All the coaches just want to see you and your kids happy!! Such a wonderful inviorment for me and my child! I highly recommend this place to anyone!!

We have been coming to the Palaestra for 12 years. This is my daughters home away from home. Ask them where they want to be on their time off and you will hear: Gym! The minute you walk in the door you feel welcome. The staff is top notch and well respected. We have been involved in Beckis babies, rec classes, open gym, masquerade balls at Halloween, birthday parties and team. There has never been a bad experience. Becki and her staff create a great rapport with the kids and I know that mine are having fun and staying fit in a safe environment. We Love the Palaestra!

My 18 month old and I have been coming here every week for the past 5 months and we are so glad we found this place. Everything is really clean and the staff is so welcoming and friendly! We have not signed up for any classes YET but definitely plan on doing so in the future! Open play fridays is a great way for kids to get some exercise in specially when the playgrounds arent too convenient due to weather.

My kids and I love coming here for open gym. My son had a birthday party here and it was a huge hit! We love the foam pit with the trampoline!

Daughter did a camp there last summer and absolutely loved it. Everyone was so nice and happy to have her. Class size was small and George was great with her (she was 2 1/2)

The owner Becky is missing elements of being tactful and courteous. She insulted my wife when my wife asked her a question about wifi use. I have to agree with the other review about wealthy people being prevalent here and how the aura of equality disparity can be felt in subtle ways. The owner definitely treated my Asian wife with disrespect that I would imagine would have not existed had it been a mother of European descent with a gold plated stroller. I was stressed out the entire time I was there. If you have a business catered only to the elite (maybe Caucasian as well), then please try to filter our kind out before we pay your membership dues.

This review is solely based on a birthday party experience. We dont have a kiddo at gymnastics here or any sort of regular attendance.Note the location and look at the pics I uploaded. Its located in a sort of warehouse / industrial area. Itd be easy to miss if you werent paying attention. We were also told not to park at the place next door or wed be towed - FYI...Today we attended a birthday party for a 4-year old at this place. It was an hour and a half of open gym time followed by... almost an hour, I think, of birthday cake and festivities time. Not only did the kids have a blast, but us parents did too. Yeah, all of us had to bounce into the foam block pit because, duh, its super fun. Some of the bolder dads even did flips and half gainers and impressive stuff. Super fun to watch... and partake in.Like a trampoline park, they have trampolines everywhere. Different kinds, some of which give you some serious ups. They also have balance beams, bars, rings, ropes, and even curtains or whatever those Cirque de Whatever things are called. Some of these things were off limits for the party, but almost the entire place was fair game. It was super fun for everyone. They had a couple of staff roaming around who were super nice and friendly. (Good Aggies, too. :)After open gym time, we retired to the birthday room, where we had cake, snacks, and birthday festivities. They had plenty of mobile tables so the room had a lot of flexibility. It was also big enough to cram quite a lot of kids and parents into.Long story short: I would definitely recommend this place for a birthday party. And it was not the same as a regular trampoline park, which made it more interesting and appealing to me (even if trampoline parks are also fun). They also gave free open passes to us as part of party favors, so we can bring our son back on certain open-gym days to have fun again. Nice touch!

I’m an the competition team for tnt here and I have to say it has been one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had in my 15 years on earth. Coach’s becki, Mary Beth, Sigorney, and holly have made such an impact in my life. It is really like a family here! I’ve read all the comments. As for diversity our staff sets out to include every one. We have a few people who are not white on our team. This gym is run by a Christian family. If your worried about enrolling bc your not if that religion don’t worry! Everyone will treat you like anyone else. Religion is not a common topic to be brought up! Anyways APPLY TO PALAESTRA!!!! WE SMILE UPSIDEDOWN!

Tried to use a Groupon here because weve heard great things, but they took 3 weeks to return my calls and when they finally did were very unhelpful and inflexible. Had to approach Groupon for a refund and the gym still will not return my calls to cancel our camp reservations. After I had this experience, a few friends told me that even though the gym is great they have had poor customer service from the gym in the past so they were not surprised. I would have liked to have known that before committing to large purchase as I did and also before recommending the gym to others (as I also had). Hopefully this will save other parents from the same experience.

The staff was nice, but its for white kids only. Preferably rich white kids only. And the parents there will make you aware of it if you do not belong.

Do to Jenny Bradfords and The Palaestras dissatisfaction with Groupon we will discontinue Groupon services after Summer 2015. We feel as if we have no control over Groupon situations such as Jenny Bradford experienced.The Palaestra is a family owned gymnastics center with our soul purpose of promoting smiles, laughter & a life long love of Movement for every child.
