Please do not send your children here! I can only speak for the Planet Kid and Recreational and Team gymnastics.Plant kid is gross, want your kids sick...?! Don't bring them!Gymnastics is awful. The younger kids bounce around between teachers, because of high turn around. As well as high student to teacher ratio!Recreation coaches, cna be okay, but they all have thier favorites. Team coaches, will push and push, all while not properly trying your daughter. They too, have favorites.Another note, if you see alot of girls in bandages, wraps, tape.... that's not a good sign! That means their bodies need rest, not continually being pushed. This is a sport, but regardless of age, they shouldn't be pushed!Owner... she could care less if you even bring issues to her. She avoids being confronted, good or bad. She is in this to run a business, that is it.Just please be wise and make the best decision for the your kidos!

This place is horrible with kids. Every time our daughter goes she feels defeated bc the instructor says horrible things. This last week the instructor told her she wasn’t good enough to be in the class without even talking to us (the parents).

I can only speak about the classes for the younger kids - My kid took classes starting at age 2 with parent+me classes and progressed up to the 3-4 y/o classes. Overall, classes were a great way to spend energy and gain some confidence.Unfortunately, the student to teacher ratio is way too high for the age group (6:1) and the instructors/coaches were a mixed bag. Miss Claire is absolutely wonderful with kids, she seems to actually enjoy being around them and treats them like they're people. Other coaches seemed bored or annoyed and would just stand at a station unengaged from the class.Kids that are talented are noticed and invited to more advanced classes. However, the kids that aren't naturally talented or are nervous/shy get no actual coaching on how to progress. Ultimately, this is why we chose to not continue classes after the summer session ended.

Our daughter has gone here for almost a year now. Some of the coaches are great (Annika is amazing) and some are not. There Definitely needs to be a smaller kid to teacher ratio for the 3-4 year old class without parents. I’ve watched my daughter ask the coach for help numerous times but she definitely has “favorites” and ignored her until I said something or my daughter safely climbed down/stopped what she was doing and went over to her to be like, I need help please. That happened more than once.The owner/manager I believe also yelled at my daughter one time because she went to jump on a trampoline before class started and made her cry. I was right there and in the process of grabbing her, there was absolutely no need to yell at a 2 year old. She didn’t even notice the effect that had on my kid. Just walked away. So rude.My daughter loves gymnastics which is the only reason we kept going. But we are stopping after this summer term and trying to find a more friendly gym.

I went to wings when I was younger so when my daughter was almost two, I wanted her to try it. It is further from our home but I know the quality they offer and the cost is more than reasonable. Coach Katie is amazing and my daughter is doing so well because of her. She is engaged and involved with each child. It makes a difference because my daughter enjoys that attention and praise. Her coordination and her ability to sit and listen is improving weekly, which is a challenge in itself for a 2 year old! I would absolutely recommend wings.

When I was nine, I took gymnastics at this place. The staff is very rude and impolite to children. Every time I made a single tiny mistake, the teacher would punish me. They would either make me sit in a time out spot like a two year old, or make me do hard workouts which always hurt me; since I have some physical problems. They would also forbid me from getting water until the lesson was at least half way over. I learned very few things there, and I was often criticized for being weak; they would also have me suspended from an event for failing a simple trick. This is one of the reasons I am afraid of teachers. ?

I am a gymnast here at wings and it is the best place to do gymnastics in the Treasure Valley in my opinion. My team in level 5 won the state championships, and now we will be able to skip level six. All the coaches here are beyond amazing, and I wouldn’t want to go to any other gym. The coaches here only care about the safety of their gymnasts and to help push us. I would give 100 stars if I could. I highly recommend.

I wrote this almost two years ago and chose not to share it. I've talked to friends since and they encouraged me to share our story. I feel like they really wronged my daughter and I would hate to see it happen to someone else. We did not have a good experience at this school. I've felt compelled to write about our experience just so other parents don't have to go through the same thing. We put our daughter, a week into turning 3 into this daycare. We thought the layout and endless activities would but fun but quickly realized they rely heavily on that appeal and not an actual age appropriate curriculum. Our vivacious, outgoing and friendly little girl quickly started shelling up and crying every time we dropped her off. My heart would sink every time I dropped her off, when I'd pick her up I'd try to get more information from her teacher but she would always say great and be busy with the other kids. It was very difficult to communicate with them to figure out what was going on. With our daughter being three, there was only so much we could get out of her in words but the sadness in her eyes when we were leaving said enough. She would say the boys would hit her, tell us stories of the girls forcing her into giving them her hair clips or bracelets. We noticed how the other kids seemed bigger than her, but thought maybe she was just small for her age. We were new at all of this but the red flags were pilling up left and right. We tried to handle it at home and equip her with skills to handle the new setting and kids. But we noticed a change in her, she cried at soccer with her friends when she normally was so excited and the first to lead the group. She didn't want social settings, she was changing before our eyes and not progressing or blossoming like we were hoping to see. She caught a nasty cold there that kept her out a couple weeks, was a blessing actually. And then landed the parent teacher conference, we were informed they had gotten rid of 3's class right before our daughter joined and they failed to mention that. So much to our shock she was trying to survive a new school with 5 year olds!! 2, just turning 3 with 5's going on 6 is a HUGE HUGE HUGE gap. They also had just broken up a group of very boisterous physical boys from our daughters class (hence her mentioning getting hit a lot). We were shocked and upset, it was eye opening to where the issue lied. Our little 3 year old, was trying to not only navigate a new unfamiliar environment but survive the physical strength and mental games of 5 year olds. No shame to them, they're kids and she was just in their way and easy to manipulate. It broke our heart that we didn't get to the bottom of it sooner than we did but we immediately pulled her from the school. She went into a new daycare that was completely different than Wings. It felt peaceful and structured. Our daughter was in a class with all kids her age with curriculum for her age group. It was a light and the end of the tunnel and she is now thriving. Wings really set her back though and changed her which as her mother really upsets me. So please, I would not suggest sending your freshly turned 3 year old that's never been in a childcare setting there. It may be great for 4 or 5 year olds, particularly boys. And I will say, 2 years later it may have changed and they may have structured it better but do your due diligence as a parent and poke holes in anything bothering you.

This place is incredible if your have children. It's a huge play place your kids will burn tons of energy and sleep good after this place. The staff is background checked and goes through training and are certified. the facility is safe and clean, lots fo kids playing and having fun on the variety of obstacle courses. My son is 2. He was the youngest here today but had such a great time playing w all the kids and having fun climbing and playing. All the kids are super helpful and cautious. You have staff constantly monitoring the kids for safety. This place offers affordable daycare, gymnastics, swimming lessons, rock climbing for ages 3 and up. The play place is all day for $5 and adults are free. This place is affordable, fun, safe and my kid is having a blast I'm loving this place
