I wanted to be an acrobat as a child! I don't believe this dream will come true but this place did allow me to rekindle my child spirit and enjoy classes which help me work on my core, arms and flexibility while having fun and doing awesome moves!
In short, I would recommend going elsewhere because the parking is awful, walking at night to the facility feels unsafe, the classes are overpriced, and the staff unfairly target customers.
I had an absolutely horrible experience here due to a so called "policy" that they have about arriving late. My main issue is that this policy isn't enforced uniformly. In the past, they have let other class goers in late, and there was no issue. It makes me uncomfortable coming here and being targetted by this policy that they clearly do not enforce on everyone. They cite reasons such as upsetting teachers and causing injuries and the school "falling apart" for why they need this policy. When I witnessed other class goers coming late, the teacher was fine and nobody got injured. By no means was the school falling apart. They also mentioned that people were coming 15 minutes late and that caused the problems, which was not the case for me as I was only 5 minutes late. The policy is also draconian giving that they have no parking and only have 1 hr meters in front of the facility. I've arrived over an hour early before couldn't, find any parking nearby, and had to walk nearly half a mile previously just to get to the class on time. It also makes me feel unsafe given the area they are in when it's dark outside. This leads me to have to get a lyft there which makes the cost of class closer to $40, which honestly isn't worth it. Their classes are already on the more expensive end of the spectrum. What's making their school fall apart is not people arriving late. It's being located in a busy area with no parking and expecting a lot of class goers who tend to be women walk far distances potentially in the evening to go to their overpriced classes. It also comes from targeting paying customers and only reserving reasonable human decency and understanding for a few of them and not all of them, which leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It just astounds me that a facility with no parking in a congested area would create a policy to target and penalize their loyal customers if they are there 5 minutes late. It doesn't take a genius to recognize that this is what is making the school "fall apart."
Bad, unprofessional receptionist and so rude ... brought to my journey negative vibes ! So many circus classes in LA are much better and less expensive than this one.
With respect!
Best,
Great coaches! They make a classes a nice mix between fun and learning. The facilities are a little older and a bit of a squeeze, but the equipment is new and very safe. They are also the only facility in the area that is affiliated with the US Gymnastics Association which is especially good if the gymnast wants to compete. Finally, the three owners are also coaches. They are very hands-on, accessible and seem to do this out of their love of the sport.
Incredibly fun place to work out. Marco, Sarah, and Brandon are amazing. I've become much more flexible and stronger in just a few weeks. Love this place!
