Gymcarolina Gymnastics

This is a top notch facility. The staff is great. The facility has great equipment and they have tons of different time slots to fit your schedule. They work with kids of all different skill levels, and they all feel like they fit in. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because I really wish that there was more involvement of the parents as far as the coaches at least getting to know our names. That may not be possible because the place is so big with so many classes, but my child comes 3 days a week and I still don’t know any of her coaches’ names and they don’t know mine. She’s beencoming for over a year. I’d just like that part to be a little more personable. But I have no complaints. My child thrives here. It’s a great environment. It’s built her physical strength and her self confidence. You and your kids will love Gymcarolina!

Love love love it!!! My two step daughters love the summer camp and enjoys the intermediate classes. The staff members are friendly and very professional:)

Not a very polite staff, they only smile when you make a payment. The staff does not comunicate well with the parents, they are not the best coaches in Raleigh.
I would look closely at other Gyms in the area.

This is week three for us. So far, so good.
During registration, staff was very professional. They helped us find the right class for our 12yo (skill level and age-​appropriate). Although, the class times we wanted (Saturday or late weekday) were filled up (shocker) the staffer was able to recommend options for us, such as enrolling in the open class and place our name on a wait list (we would have been first) for the Saturday class and that we could do a free trial to see if we like the coach and class time.
We ended up enrolling in the 4pm weekday class, which wasn’t ideal since my DH and I both work in Durham but the gym has WiFi. So I can work during the 2 hours waiting for my daughter and make up the time leaving work early. No problem.
My 12yo likes her class and coach, who is attentive to each child’s skill set.
Pluses:
+ Large gym and plenty of apparatus to work on
+ Staff/​coaches are professional and seem to know the kids well. They’re there for the kids not for us parents and that’s the way it should be. I don’t need to be best friends with them. Besides, a lot goes on during the class transitions and there’s just no time to be chatting with parents when you’re making sure that the right kids are going home with the right parents, and the kids are going to the right coaches for class.
+ Free trial class
+ Offer summer camps, track out camps and tumbling clinics
+ Offer big viewing room on the second floor with picnic tables and benches, and bleachers
+ WiFi available
All in all, I’d recommend giving Gymcarolina a try.

The GOOD:
The class flexibility is GREAT!!! I say try it and you will like the fact that you can fit a class in around your schedule.
I have not found a lot of facilities that have this type of variety for classes
The BAD:
It smells… like stinky feet. It is gross. The office staff is nice when they are collecting payments. But boy, for the most part, customer service is not at the top of their list. So much for southern hospitality.
In Short:
Don’t use your nose. Breath through your mouth and you will be fine.
:D
Ignore the staff and just focus on the kids.
Will we keep coming back. NO!
I would rather spend our money with people who I feel love kids and offer the best.
