I have a nine year old son with autism. He doesn't have great coordination but he's enthusiastic. The coaches are encouraging during classes, taking extra time to work with him when he needs it, understanding and not pushy when he just isn't ready for something that seems too scary, and proud of him when he faces his fears and tries new things. They take an interest in him as a person and talk to him. During open gym coaches will take a minute to give him tips and encourage him or cheer him on. He's made friends here. He loves open gym, watching the grown-ups and older teens inspires him; seeing that they fall down too, encourages him.
They have great equipment and obstacles, cool ninja warrior training classes for all ages, parkour for all ages, and (my son's favorite) a trampoline. But what keeps us coming back multiple times a week is the community. Very lucky to have found such an awesome spot and such awesome people.
PLUS! He gets to brag that one of his coaches has been on American Ninja Warrior!
