Discriminates against disabled people
They discriminate against disabled parents by not allowing us to participate in the parent tot class if we have a medically necessary aide.

Best Place Ever! Especially with my coach, Natalia Yurchenko
I go bouldering here. Terrific. Great group of people and it's a fun relaxed environment. I'm quite the newbie but the people here are cool.
We've just taken our daughter out of class here after two incidents made us question their commitment to safety.
#1 - they held a team tryout that was supposed to last from 5-6. They kept little girls (ages 7-8) until almost 8PM - doing split jumps on the beam and other advanced moves on an empty stomach.
#2 - in the tumbling class, the coach let girls practice back handsprings with no supervision while he helped other girls do something else. My daughter had not tried a back handspring until that day (the coach knew this) but had her working with an octogon support thing. She jumped too hard, the support flew out from under her and she took the full impact on her HEAD - on a sprung floor, NOT A MAT! Five days later, she still has headaches and we're monitoring her for a concussion.
The instructors do a great job with the kids very friendly and encourage the gymnasts all the time my girls enjoy
She isn't Olympic Gold medalist because the Soviet Union boycotted the 1984 Olympics. Yurchenko would have likely won gold over Mary Lou Retton. She will turn out great elite gymnasts, many of whom will get full college scholarships.
It's frustrating when they assign random teachers because the regular teacher didn't show up. Hard for little kids to advance if they keep switching teachers.
Great gymnastics academy for kids!
Side bonus: hidden peak climbing gym for adults.
Hours on Google are wrong! The correct times are:
LSA:
M-F: 9-9
Sa: 9-5
Su: 9-4
Hidden Peak:
M-F: 12-2 ($7) & 5-9 ($10)
Sa: 12-5 ($10)
Su: 12-4 ($10)
Hidden Peak is a small, but great bouldering gym! Routes are changed often, so you never get bored, and the space is really maximized!
Pretty pricey for open gym...I believe $20 and the open gym isn't for that long. However, if you go during the adult classes, the instructor is really really good. He's incredibly experienced and definitely knows what he's doing. He takes the time for each student and really tries to correct your form.
Wonderful hidden gym with challenging routes it's great to be in a supportive atmosphere
