Aerials is one of the few summer options for moms working part time because they are flexible to offer half days. This was a lifesaver for the older elementary age. The kids have fun, wear themselves out playing, and are transported safely and on a regular schedule to the pool in the summers. I had a really good experience with Aerials and recommend them. Kids do not have to be on a gymnast track to join the group; the camp was welcoming by the kids in the group as well as the staff. The owner had good communication and problem resolution whenever I or she had a concern or question. The classes were fun and affordable!

I hoped their Ninja class would be a great opportunity for our son to have structured, active play. Unfortunately, the class was barely supervised and the instructor did not take the time to help each child through the obstacles. Some of the students were wrestling each other to the ground without the instructor noticing. She even walked away from the kids twice to grab her water bottle on the other side of the room while the kids continued to run around, jump, and play on the equipment without adult supervision. When the kids were jumping into the foam pit she did not make sure children were safely out of the way before another one jumped in, almost on top of one another. At one point she told the kids to back up, gestured for them to move back as she walked towards them, and they bumped into each other and one child accidentally stepped on my sons foot and knocked him over. I would tell you the instructors name but she never introduced herself to us or our son. The lack of supervision was so poor that I was concerned about my sons safety. At one point, my son was unsure about hanging from one of the uneven bars and crawling across and dropping down. Instead of guiding my son across, she simply had him hang from the bar until he insisted that she take him down. She did not even attempt to help him. There was a similar issue when the children were hanging from the bottom of the balance beam and trying to crawl across. My son needed help getting his legs around it and she helped him get on and walked away. The children should have been helped through each obstacle and taken turns, one or two of them at a time. Instead, she told them what to do and then stood there while all 5 children ran around each other and/or attempted the obstacle on their own without guidance or direction from the instructor.I wanted to give Aerials the benefit of the doubt and thought perhaps it was just the instructor that was bad. However, when I observed the other gymnastics class going on at the same time, there was a similar lack of supervision and enthusiasm. There was a complete lack of professionalism and our instructor, in particular, acted as though she did not want to be there. She was sluggish and did not engage with the children unless absolutely necessary such as when they were completely stuck. I would recommend someone that is more experienced and professional is on-site to ensure that the instructors are providing adequate supervision and assistance to such young children. Sadly, we will have to look elsewhere for a fun and safe environment for gymnastics.

Our son is 10 years old and has been going to classes and camps at Aerials since he was 4. Its more than 30 minutes away but is definitely worth the trip. His coordination improved and carried over into other sports after the gymnastics classes. At least one week a year he goes to a camp so we can go to work and he has soooooo much fun! He learns a lot, stays fit with exercise and cant wait to go back the next day. Mr. Rick is the best and his staff are always friendly and love kids. A friend from work started taking her granddaughter and she loves it. Another friend from our school took her son and daughter after we suggested it and they also had a great experience and keep signing up. We highly recommend Aerials.....positively five stars!

My 4 year old daughter loves this place. The teachers are very good with the kids. When the kids are super young, Im not sure how much they really learn from going.

Id like to share the wonderful experience that Aerials Fit N Fun has provided for our family.Last year our toddler was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. As part of his occupational therapy, we exposed him to peer group settings within the community (toddler music group, tumbling, swimming, library). None of them worked out for him. Needless to say, he was miserable, wouldnt ever let us put him down to interact with the other children, and always seemed to have upsetting experiences within these group settings. It was heart-breaking to see. We just wanted him to have fun and be happy with all of the other children of course.His occupational therapist suggested that we look into enrolling him in a small group gym class. After visiting a few in our area, I felt that Aerials was the place we should go with. Their manager was so welcoming, and made us feel very comfortable. She listened to our situation, and suggested that our toddler start off with one-on-one sessions, then progressively move into small group classes as he was ready.He absolutely loves and looks forward to his sessions. The staff at Aerials been so patient and caring with him over the past year. They have gained his trust, and instead of clinging to me when its time for his session, he waves Bye-Bye to Mommy, and I have never felt happier. Hes now becoming involved in small group settings. It has been so great for him, and my husband and I can see so many positive changes since hes started.The compassion and dedication that the team at Aerials has shown, makes me want to spread the word about how great they are with children and families. I highly recommend Aerials!

These people have no regard for childrens feelings.My wife called to have my 6 year old daughter try a beginner class with her 2 friends. They said it would be ok since the session was only in its 2nd week and that there were no other children signed up for this class besides the 2 friends. My daughter was very excited to try the class and dressed in her favorite colored leotard. My wife drove the 3 girls to the class.When she got there, the manager told my wife that they made a mistake and they could not allow my daughter to join the session without any reasonable explanation. The teacher then invited the other 2 girls to start the class right in front of my daughter who was absolutely crushed and began to cry. The other childrens mothers were there and said it was ok with them for her to join but the managers would not budge. This was a beginner class and the one girl had never tried it either. I will never set foot in this place again.My wife asked to speak with the owner who was there when they arrived but the manager said he stepped out.I think the behavior of the managers was inexcusable and insensitive. I will never set foot in this place again.
