This gym has helped me grow tremendously! I ABSOLUTELY love the gym and the people. Everyone is so welcoming and loving. I wouldn't trade my cheer- family for anything. Its an amazing environment, wouldn't trade it for the world.
I wish our experience with Riot Cheer could have been a more positive experience. I've erased my original post after talking with the co-owner and feeling that he is remorsful. I did not feel they were sincerely sorry about the incident that occurred but think he understands now where we are coming from and seems genuinely apologetic.

Please read this entire post before signing our daughter up here. My 8 year old daughter started going to Riot Cheer and my 16 year old would come watch her. Riot Cheer encouraged my 16 yr old (almost 17 at the time) to join. Joe (the co-owner) stated that he wanted to make her a flyer and that he would like her to take private lessons to get her ready to join the team. It was explained to me that the "team" was made up of high school & college aged kids, so my daughter would be around kids her age. She was home schooled and I mentioned to Joe that it was really important to me that she meet kids around her age & that I wanted cheer to help her build confidence and social skills. He gave me this speech about how they're all family, do team building projects, work on self-esteem, etc. My daughter's very 1st lesson was a complete nightmare. Instead of building her confidence it left her ashamed and disgusted. A man from the "team" was there to help lift her during the lesson. I later found out this man is 38 years old. I was not in the room the entire time she was practicing but on the way home I could tell something was wrong. My daughter told me this 38 year old man made sexual comments to here during her lesson. While he was holding her up on his shoulders, Joe (co-owner) thought she needed to be standing straighter and told my daughter "if you squat down anymore you'll be sitting on his face". Very inappropriate comment. The 38 year old man holding up my daughter then started making sexual comments to her, such as "if you want to squat on my face we can do it outside of the gym". This man knew that my daughter is a minor and that he is almost twice her age. Not to mention that it's just disrespectful. Joe told us that this team consisted of teenagers and college aged kids. False. This 38 year old man and other older men are part of the team. We were lied to. Joe's response to the sexual comments during the incident was "she's not 18 yet" and laughed. Very unprofessional. He should have immediately told this man that his comments are unprofessional and disrespectful. No matter what age a lady is, sexual harassment is NOT okay. I was upset that Joe did not pull me aside the day that it happened to bring it to my attention. Instead he took a $300+ check from me and said nothing about the incident. My husband & I went in to speak to Joe about what happened and explained to him that our daughter was not comfortable being around this man. He admitted that all of it happened and, of course, tried to down play his role. His replied to our concerns by asking us how serious we were about cheer before deciding to ask this man to leave the team because "he's a good guy". He also stated his concern for our daughter being on the team because the girls on the team cuss a lot, talk about getting drunk and about sex. He felt it would not be appropriate for my teenage daughter to be around. Before he took my $300+ check this was a positive, self-esteem building environment with children around my daughter's ago. Then I find out that everything that came out of his mouth was a lie. I expect my daughter to hear cuss words, etc from girls her age. I'm not ignorant. That is much different than a grown man soliciting a minor for sexual acts. After being told that this 38 year old man was asked to leave the team, we tried scheduling our daughter's private lessons. They were constantly being rescheduled by Joe and I had to bug him more than once to lock in a date and time. He was never prepared and the couple of practices that happened were a joke. He then stopped replying to my texts to set up lessons and my calls were not answered. We never received all of the lessons that we paid for. I really feel that my daughter, the victim, was punished for this incident because she spoke up. UPDATE: Joe contacted me and stated that this man is 28, not 38. Either way, my daughter had just turned 17 and it was inappropriate. Being 28 still does not make it okay.
Was there for a solid three minutes, long enough to be kicked from the main gym area to the side gym which was also overcrowded and had little to no space to do any sort of tumbling.
I have been at this gym sense day 1 and I would do anything for them. This place is my home. The people there are my family. I love it there.
My daughter has been with Riot since their first All Star Teams were formed and has loved it! She has learned so much! She refers to the people at the gym as her 2nd family. The kids learn teamwork, discipline, how to work hard for something they want, and how to have fun. The families, the kids, and the coaches are awesome!
I LOVE RIOT SO MUCH
My daughter tried to join Riot Cheer. She went to one of their practices, and was very excited to join the team. The coach built my daughter up and told her she did a great job. Joe got us even more excited by telling us there was only spot open on the team. I was ready to sign my daughter up, but Joe told me he would have to talk with his business partner about pricing, and he would get a hold of me the following day. I never heard back from Joe, and he didn't even have the decency to return my email. It was not easy telling my daughter that she wouldn't be joining the team afterall.
I've been so happy with the advancement my daughter has made at Riot Cheer. We were going to a local gymnastics company and I never saw any improvement. I appreciate the time and attention my daughter receives. The coaches care and want your child to improve!

I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about this gym. Riot cares about the athletes and the families that are a part of their gym. They really push the kids to be better not just in their athletic skills but they are helping shape these kids into great people. My three daughters have not only improved their athleticism, but have learned discipline, courageousness, and sportsmanship. My girls would live here if I would let them. The staff and coaches become your family here and we are very blessed to have met so many wonderful people! If you haven't tried out their tumbling classes, you should. You'll be amazed how much they learn in a few short months!
