We Love Proehlific Park Summer BLAST Camp! As a working parent, I had to find a summer camp during COVID-19. I reached out to Angie and explained my situation. Angie and the Summer Blast Camp Coaches are awesome! Very professional and each week the coaches would communicate with me on how my son was doing. My son enjoyed the different themes each week but really enjoyed the sports. It is great to see the motivation and activities they provide for the kids. The coaches are great role models for my son and we look forward to future summer camps there.

Absolutely LOVE everything about Summer Blast, the after-school care and the STAFF! From the day my child started there to current Angie has been nothing short of amazing! She is honest, professional and loves each child as if they were her own! Also, want to give a special shout out to Coach Dev as he is an asset to the staff and beyond a wonderful role model for the kids! Happy to have my son enrolled here for the foreseeable future!

Want your child to come home hungry and tired every day? Begging to stay just a few more minutes? Thats exactly what you get when your child attends Summer Blast! at Proehlific Park. Our very active 9 year old LOVES his time playing with the other kids and learning from the coaches. The staff follows safe protocols with masks, lots of hand washing and sanitizer, and daily temperature checks upon arrival.

My son loves the summer program - loads of variety in each day and themed weeks. He comes home happy and smiling and talking about fun with friends and coaches. Any issues have been handled in a timely manner and service has always been with a smile.

Summer Blast has been the much needed break for my son and I. We are so happy that this summer program is able to accompany so many children and working parents. All the protocols and procedures that you have in place to serve and protect our children is much appreciated. Thank you for all you do!

I enrolled my child in the summer camp program in February, however due to Covid-19 I decided the week I originally signed up for would be too soon to consider even though Proehlific Park was pushing forward with the program. I reached out to Angie Tallant by email 3 times to see if my deposit would apply to a future date starting on April 17th before getting an email back May 16th stating that she was having email issues and had been hacked. Funny, I had been receiving automated emails from her prior to her finally answering me personally? I did in fact get an answer to my question. I later decided on a new week and reached out to Angie on June 17th to see if there were still openings. She said there were and asked for my number and the best time to call me the next day, which I did. She did not call. I emailed again on the 18th to confirm they had availability and Angie again said she had a note on her desk to call me. Two days later on the 20th I missed her call and within 30 min I called back- no answer. FINALLY on June 22nd she called and said she had been super busy and was just getting around to me. I again gave her the dates, which had been in the emails and texts, along with my credit card information to get my son registered. She said they had transitioned to a new system and was not able to process my payment at the time, BUT ASSURED ME he was on the roster and I would be charged the week before camp. When I got a call yesterday from Angie I was surprised as she started the conversation with the whole Ive been super busy and just getting around to me spill. I asked if this was in regards to registering my son because we spoke 2 days ago and she told me he was good to go.... At that point she seemed really confused. I had to give her a run down of the dates (AGAIN) and the situation with the system. Why is this so hard?! I sent this information in writing more than a few times and having to track her down and constantly remind her of the camp dates is more than unprofessional. I asked at this point what precautions they would have in place for Covid-19 and she told me they were proceeding with 30 KIDS PER GROUP and NO FACE MASKS even after the Governor held off on phase 3 of re-opening due to the increase in cases and is now requiring masks be worn in public spaces. Angie said they were using the age as a guideline and that MOST kids were under 12 years old anyway. Not sure what difference that makes if the supervision is by adults and they are not distancing. So, after this circus of emails, texts, and calls to simply get my child on the calendar and finding out they would not be taking and necessary steps to keep him safe during the pandemic I asked (both text and email) for a refund of the $50 I paid in February. I, of course, had to follow-up with another text this morning to get the answer that it is non-refundable, especially since they are holding camp. I absolutely would not recommend this camp to anyone. It has been beyond frustrating to register and to find out they are taking no Covid-19 safety precautions should be enough to make any parent think twice.

Knowing that my son is being taken care of by compassionate and professional care givers is a true blessing. He is treated like family and often doesnt want to leave when I pick him up. The investment the staff makes in these kids is not only physical, but emotional and spiritual.Thank you Proehlific Park Staff for investing in the life of my son!

I enrolled my boys for full day summer blast for 3 days. Proehlific claims to have all these game times and access to a ninja warrior course that the children will enjoy. None of these activities were performed and the few activities that my boys were a part of were not monitored and games were haphazard. Coaches and volunteers are all teens. No adult supervision. Coaches spend majority of their time on their phones, listening to music with disregard to children and their activities.Children form groups and pick on the new summer blast members.Facility is filthy and my son came home with lice.To add even more insult, Angie - the new director of summer blast- called me to help address and fix the situation. Her help was to offer me to come back to the very facility that both my sons had a terrible experience.A monetary compensation would have been in order for the trauma both my boys endured, having caught lice!I paid $300 for 3 days of atrocious coaches, games, and volunteers.Nothing in the summer blast articles are the depiction of the time my children were spending in a filthy facility.Disgusted with the facility and Angie- who rushed me off the phone. She talked about herself long enough, but when it came time for me to speak she couldn’t get off the phone quick enough.Disrespectful, rude and unbecoming of an individual in her position.

This was a pretty decent place. We had a soccer game on field one during a busy tournament. The facility is well organized, plenty of parking and well planned out. There is a park for small children, bathroom facilities and the fields we nicely maintained.The were several baseball fields off the parking lot and easy access from the main road. Nice spot.

I’m so glad that proehlific finally opened back up! My son missed it and we recently moved to stokesdale from asheboro and I was still having to take him to asheboro for child care until they opened back up. I work full time and safe, fun child care is so important to me. With Covid-19 going around sending him back was scary for sure, but proehlific took the same precautions as his previous daycare in Asheboro. Everyone has their temperatures checked everyday and no one is allowed past the front desk. In the afternoon for pick up no one goes in to get their child, they are escorted out by coaches to ensure there is the least amount of contact possible. They enforce hand washing and sanitizing stations are available for use. They take it very seriously and I feel safe sending my son there! Your kids will have an awesome time, they love the kids so much there. ️

The adult fitness center is great. It is never super crowded so you do not have to wait on equipment. The weight area is kept clean and it seems like most members know how to clean up after themselves. The locker rooms are always clean as well. The parking lot is safe. The parking lot does get packed during the days on the weekends with sporting events. It can become hard for members to park even though member parking is marked off. It doesnt seem like it is enforced though. However, I just try to plan around this and go when they are not busy with sporting events. The staff is always friendly when I walk in the door and always greet me with a smile. I am glad I made the change here last May.

We are in volleyball with the NC Power Volleyball Club. We just had our first tournament and it was the best experience we have had with travel sports. Our coaches were all supportive of the players and the energy they bring to the game was enthusiastic. We even had a parent of another club compliment our group and tout how nice the Proehlific Park Facility is to play at.We new it was important to have all certified coaches, and thats one of the reasons we chose this volleyball group. I highly recommend the facility and NC Power Volleyball Club and are glad to be a part of it.

Wonderful facilities, kid friendly. My two kids enjoyed playing sports here, especially basketball. All except the fact that the staff weren’t always friendly. People at the front desk seems to often get bothered when we ask them something. They were sometimes rude too, even when my daughter just went to ask for a bandaid.

We love this place! Ricky, the owner, is often present and always super friendly. The gym is very nice, always clean, and never over-crowded. I play pick-up soccer 3x a week here which is a blast. Their membership prices are reasonable, bathrooms/locker rooms are clean, plenty of parking, very friendly staff, and just an all-around fun place to be!

Excellent indoor multi-sport facility with a descent Gym, locker rooms, showers and fitness classes. Reasonable membership terms but hard to get into at times as fields get reserved without notice to the general members. They need to improve their communications with members but a wonderful facility and a good location near New Garden and Horsepen Creek.

Proehlific Park has been a great place for me in my life. Ive grown there and made many memories at the park. I looked forward to going there everyday after school and seeing all the coaches and my friends.. We played the best games and Truthfully thats where my basketball began for me.. Now Im on the Caldwell Middle School Basketball Team. Because the people at the park taught me how to play. The park is been a great place for me in my life and I look forward to going back there visiting some days Ive made many friends there and it is been amazing in my life and has grown me into what I am today... meeting new friends and new coaches... Loved all 7 years at the park. Honestly I miss the park and the people but Ive moved on to other things now... Thank you for everything yall have done for me. Wish everyone the best of luck!From:BEEKER!

This is a very nice facility! My son enjoys the summer camp and other youth programs offered. The staff is very nice and knowledgeable. If I had any suggestions would be to keep bathrooms kids use much cleaner and stress the importance of staff checking ID’s when picking children up from camps.

My son has been in the Proehlific Park after school program for several years. It has been a very positive experience for us. We are especially grateful to the director, Stephanie Beasley, for creating program opportunities and transportation from my sons school. She has gone above and beyond to extend programming to kids and has been wonderful to work with.My son started the PSP program this year as well and he loves it!

Review №25

The gym has great potential with good space and acceptable equipment, unfortunately it falls short due to bad ingrained culture. There are good and competent staff members, who try to make a difference, but they are outdone by some, who have been there since the beginning. These members and staff have a huge sense of entitlement and you feel like an unwelcome guest.In addition, after watching a trainer creep on a young lady working out there for the first time, I cannot recommend this place.I have heard of and encountered how management does not honor agreements/contracts with staff and members, so beware!

After seeing my neice and nephew attend the after school program for a few years, I can truly say this is a safe environment. When I have went to pick them up the front desk does an I.D check. Both kids enjoy the active atmosphere as well as working with kids from other schools.

Been a member of the Adult Fitness Center since it opened...very nice addition to a great facility!Plenty of equipment to meet my needs and extra training and classes to suit just about anybody no matter what their fitness goals might be. Not crazy crowded most of the time which makes it great because I hate waiting on equipment.Shame to see some of the reviews here where folks have had issues with management as Ive never had a problem with anything Ive needed help with.The only complaint I have, and I know they try to deal with it, is with parking when they have sporting events going on. AFC signs are posted for reserved spaces yet visitors choose to ignore them even going so far as to take handicap spaces without handicap placards. Lazy and Rude are not a Handicaps Folks! Not enough to take away a star because if you plan around it its not an issue.Overall Im super happy I signed up when it opened and still happy I renewed for 3 more years. Keeps me motivated to go and helps me try and fight back against father time as best I can.

Regarding adult fitness, facilities are great. Fitness on demand, cardio, weight training, etc is all here. Huge facility includes basketball courts and indoor field. Ive been to Golds, Rush Fitness, and other various gyms in the past, but this gym has a more laid back feel and a little more inclusive environment for those who are looking to get started in a gym routine. Also has equipment and classes for those who are looking for a new challenge.

The facilities at Proehlific Park are outstanding and the staff is courteous and knowledgeable. I have been a member of numerous health clubs over the years and this is the first time I have been a member of a gym that offers Fitness On Demand (which is awesome!) I love that all of the equipment is brand new and that there are plenty of cardio machines. I think its great that my membership to the fitness center gives me access to the entire park. My experience has been excellent and I would highly recommend Proehlific Park.

It was a good place. Had a park there for the little ones. Also they supplied the water for my daughters team but the container wasnt properly cleaned. The girls said there were things floating in the water and they became ill. Not sure if that was purposely done to take out the team, or carelessness. Either way tho.

HORRIBLE management from the top down! If I could give negative stars on this place, I would. Proehlific Park is the most dysfunctional, mis-managed circus that Ive ever seen. They do a great job of masking over the poorly managed and trained staff with the outward appearance of smiling faces and seemingly organized atmosphere, but after having my kids in sports, after school programs and summer blast for several years now, weve had nothing but drama since day 1. The only reason weve subjected ourselves to the craziness is purely convenience. We have now decided to go out of our way to remove our kids from this terrible environment. It seems as though the staff isnt properly trained. The kids have been cursed at by staff members (even Ricky Proehl himself), and just an overall lack of professionalism by the staff working with the children. Theres a lack of continuous structured activities for the kids... too much down time is a perfect setup for disaster (especially for the younger ones). For whatever reason, the directors and management are never held accountable for their mistakes or mishandling of situations. Issues are simply swept under the rug and allowed to continue. The staff could use a lesson in treating the kids like kids. It’s not just the kids though… they have surprisingly demonstrated VERY unprofessional behavior towards parents. I’m amazed that they’ve been able to stay in business. I’ve spoken to several other parents & kids that have had similar experiences. I believe other parents stay for the same reason we have for all of these years - convenience & location. If the summer program wasn’t booked at the Spears YMCA just down the road, we would have gone there. I hope this review serves not only as a warning to parents thinking of enrolling their kids, but as a letter of shame to Proehlific Park management for continuing to run such a dysfunctional business. Change is good, only if it makes a positive difference- and I’d say it’s time for Proehlific to make some big changes.

Our whole experience was horrible. My son broke his hand during football (hey I get it things happen) My issus is that no one ever called to check on him until Isent an email to Managment (about a month or so later) MY next issue was that my son took pics with his team and no one seems to know where pur pics are. I was so sad with my experience with PP. I wouldnt use them again for my boys extra curricular activities.

Review №55

As a former employee of Proehlific Park, this job was by far the most dissatisfying of them all. I began as an after school coach & the way the after school program was ran was a complete disaster. The after school program lacks structure & whether anyone acknowledges this, kids thrive off of structure. Stephanie Beasley, the after school director had extremely poor communication skills & the entire program is out of control. As a coach, I felt underappreciated & quite fed up with the whole operation.After leaving the position, I had an opportunity to work the Adult Fitness Center. Very satisfying & honestly no complaints. Ashley Buterbaugh & Mike Kennedy were both great managers & they both had such positive impacts on my work experience there.After leaving the AFC, apparently I was needed on the Park side of Proehlific. By far the worst. Victoria Proehl, was the definition of unprofessionalism. Her attitude was filthy & the way she talked to & about parents & even the children was rude & actually very disgusting. Regardless of her relationship with the owner & visionary of the park, I do not believe she should EVER work in a customer service position. Her communication skills were also very poor & she was overall disrespectful.While the adult fitness center is a great place to work out, I HIGHLY recommend you think three times before you allow your children into the after school program. Im relieved that I am no longer employed there but at the same time very happy for the things I learned. I wish everyone there the best of luck in life & I hope you take something from this review.
