Gymnast Mom

My daughter and I moved to New Bedford recently from a small town in Maine. This move was a bit of a culture shock for us both. Not only did we move away from all of our friends and family, but we moved away from our gym as well. A gym where 20 years ago I was a team member. Shortly after our move I did some research online and found several gyms in the area. As a former gymnast, I know finding the right gym makes all the difference. From the first practice at All Ranks Academy, I could tell we made the right decision. The coaches took the time to correct several bad habits my daughter developed, that her larger gym quite honestly didn't have time to fix. This was because the number of girls in each class far outweighed the number of coaches. All Ranks has enough coaches and the right amount of students in each class to allow more time for the girls to develop and master new skills. These coaches have made my daughter and I feel welcome, and have made us feel like we've been part of this team for years. They have gone above and beyond and on several occasions have pulled my daughter aside to work directly with her on a skill she was struggling with. They brought back that fire in my daughters eyes which burnt out at her last gym. I would strongly recommend you check this gym out for yourself, rather than go by a negative comment from a website.
