Inter Active Academy

My two girls have been in gymnastics here for over 2 years and we’ve had a great experience. We moved here from a different gym and my girls have learned so much and have grown as gymnasts. The teachers they have had are great (Ms. Joyce, Ms.Alex, and Ms. Ivy) and very patient with them. My girls love going to classes here. I have recommended this gym to others.

STAY AWAY FROM IA SCHOOL! We enrolled our son at InterActive Academy after being told by the Director, Barb, that they were “child whisperers” who specialize in helping kids work through big emotions and transitions. That could not have been further from the truth. From day one, our child — just 19 months old — understandably struggled with the transition into daycare. Instead of providing comfort, patience, or meaningful support, the staff left him isolated and treated him as if he were the problem. After only five days, despite charging premium tuition, Barb informed us that he was “not a good fit” and removed him from the program. To make matters worse, this was communicated in a passive-aggressive email rather than a direct, compassionate conversation in person. This is not a school that supports children or partners with families. They give up at the first sign of difficulty while hiding behind false promises and polished marketing. Parents should know exactly what they’re signing up for and what they aren’t getting at IA.

WARNING! SAVE YOUR MONEY! This place is playing games with my son and his progress IN gymnastics and I'm absolutely disgusted by it. His "teacher" has said time and time again that he is capable and has the ability to move up into the next gymnastics class and has been for months. And when confronted about moving up, there are excuses made time and time again. First the numbers are crazy and they don't have the space. Then it's because he "talks too much" with another kid; they are 4 years old. THEN, it turned into having to wait until he turns 5 until he will be forced to move up, even though he has been able to move up for months on his own capabilities. They are robbing money from us by not challenging my son or teaching him anything different. It's literally the same thing over and over again. Please avoid this place and their targeting of children for whatever reason. What is the real reason? I'll never know because we've been given multiple contradicting answers. My son loved going here but if they are not going to do their job and teach him anything, I cannot justify him continuing to go here every week and not be challenged by anything, because he is already capable. Thank you for ruining a beautiful thing for my child.

We love gymnast teacher Beth. I have been impressed with the gymnastic program. She starts out with stretches and exercises on the floor. I think the most impressive part is when she has them on a circuit each running through different exercises. She does a good job keeping her eye on all of them, but she has taught them each what to do and they rotate through pretty seamlessly. She is a one station helping with flips or something more difficult. The classes are orderly and fun. My daughter has made great progress in the swim program due to the awesome swim teachers. I love how clean they keep the building, and I really like the track above the gymnastics floor. The front desk staff is friendly every time I have a question or need to move up into a different swim class. We haven't be enrolled in the pre-school, but while I am there I am impressed that they sometimes have little kids (2-4) running through stretches/exercises on the gym floor or running around on the track. You can tell the kids looks forward to it because most of them tear down the track. We really have zero complaints and would recommend this place to anyone. Also I would add, they do close on some holidays, but I was surprised that they were open on MLK day and Presidents Day.

The school and the swim lessons should be two different systems. Our experience at the school was horrendous. Our child was struggling with some big emotions after a change to a new school and was promptly kicked out after 1 week. We were told to seek out developmental preschool by the director who had just met her. On the other hand our girls loved swim lessons there. It’s worth mentioning that the swim teachers never had an issue with our daughter who did lessons for 3 years.
