My 4 year old forgot his water bottle one day at summer camp. When I came to pick him up that afternoon he was drenched in sweat trying to drink from the bathroom faucet. I asked why he hadn’t been given any water and was told that the only water they had was in a vending machine for $1 and that there were no cups anywhere for him to have a drink from the sink. It was nearly 90 degrees that day and he had one Capri Sun packed in his lunchbox. No one reached out to me to ask that I bring him water or money.
It was also advertised as a sports themed camp where the kids would focus on different sports lessons or activities throughout the week, yet the entire time he attended there were no sports lessons. I reached out on 3 separate occasions requesting a refund for our final week which we had prepaid (minus the deposit) as the camp was overall not a good fit for our son, and never received any response.

The Academy is fun for people of all ages, from kids to adults. The owner truly wants every person who walks through that door to have fun. I love the open gym hours - makes it so easy to let my son get some energy out on a rainy day or a day when school is canceled. Good tip to know, it's in the lower level of the building so when you enter, you'll have to go through the first door on your left and head downstairs to get to the gym. Looking for something to do today with your kiddos? Head to the Academy!!!

Great low key place for kids to have a blast! Birthday parties are always a blast and open gym always full of fun. John and his staff are always super laid back and easy going.

We absolutely love The Academy! My daughter has had birthday parties here, attended summer camp, parents night out, and the after school program for years. I love that I can come and play if I choose or drop her off to run errands. The staff is wonderful and always treat us like family! 100% recommend!

John is so awesome with kids! He truly cares and has years of experience teaching kids the fundamentals of gymnastics, especially at a young age. And icing on the cake, they offer accommodations for birthday parties and a place for your kiddos to have fun while mom and dad have date night!

The Academy is a wonderful facility for kids of all ages. It is a clean, friendly environment with kids of all ages to hang out with. Open gym is $4/per hour and classes are cheap as well! I recommend this to anyone who is wanting to have a good time.

Ideally, this would be an awesome place for kids to run out energy and have fun. Unfortunately it is terribly dirty and, in my opinion, unsafe. Exposed wood boards/nails on the edge of the foam pit, detached/crooked/unstable ladder on the playground. The carpet looks like it hasn't been vacuumed in years and the equipment looks like it's been there for over 20 with no cleaning. Equipment that isn't being used (huge metal bars, wood boards, slides) are piled against the wall and are a safety hazard. Sad that this is the case because it is the only gymnastics place in Lexington with a consistent open gym. Hope some improvements are made for the safety and health of the kids that spend time there!

My 5 and 3 year old absolutely loved toddler/open gym. Plenty of activities for both ages. Running, jumping, slides, and the foam pit is a big hit. We will definitely go again!

We play here often and had my son's 3rd birthday party there. We like it a lot. It's reasonably priced, fun and easy. There's plenty to do for all ages. Their open gym hours make it a great place to burn off some energy on a cold (or rainy or too hot) day. We haven't taken any classes, just played there.

Parents night is a joke. Owner is too damn cheap to hire more people. One person watches over 40/50 kids. My son got attacked by three boys and the person I am trusting to make sure my child is safe watched and let it happen. I will be contacting someone about this I know it against the law to have so many children and only one adult.

This place is like a second home to my 6 year old son! He loves going to the after school program and open gym. Most of the time he doesn't want to leave! The staff is friendly and the owner is great at what he does. Highly recommend!

Best open gym! Great place for kids birthday parties - they take care of EVERYTHING! Classes are taught by experienced and caring staff. Owner is definitely kid friendly and a former UK Cheerleading so you know you're getting A+ training! Bright, colorful, great place for kids. Try it out and you'll love it!

The adult classes are extremely find and amazing. The instructor is very detailed and thankfully very patient. While I do not have children myself. I do see the interaction with the staff and the children that are there and they are having such a great time interacting with each other.
