Flippin Out

Speechless at what my SIX YEAR OLD daughter was put through. I asked if she could try out for the team. I was told yes. She tried out. She made the team. I was told to bring her in the next week. When I got there I was told, on the spot, “oh no, we’ve decided to start her after the new years.” Ok. A phone call, email, pony express- anything- would’ve been nice rather than that. But ok. New years was appx 5 weeks out.. We’ll deal with it. Sure enough, first week after the new year comes, this six year old is dressed and ready to go, and I finally receive word back about an hour before her class is supposed to start “that the girls have a competition coming up next week, you don’t want to bring her, she won’t learn anything new.” Ok ..? The next week comes. I’m calling and calling. Can’t reach anyone. My calls aren’t returned. I finally get an email saying it’s best for her to start with the team at the beginning of the following season. Not unreasonable- if you hadn’t just left this child on the hook for 2 months asking daily what’s going on. Could’ve told us that from the beginning. Could’ve been in touch with us the entire time rather than NEVER. I’ve never felt so bad for my daughter. It was atrocious the way they went about the entire thing. Downright atrocious. Throw in that she tried out the following season, a few months later, and they emailed me that she didn’t make the team. That’s the cherry on top. Come to find out, the owner is harboring some incredibly misplaced grudge against me- and decided it was a wise idea to take it out on a six year old girl. Incredibly unfortunate experience from the start. No words to properly express what it was like trying to explain, for months, what was going on. Just sad. But not particularly surprising.

My daughter has been going to Flippin Out for several years and she loves it. She is very shy but when she gets out on the mat to perform she has gained so much confidence in herself and her ability. They have done so much for her as a gymnast and as someone with anxiety issues.

My children didn’t do well here. Lack of professionalism. They both asked to not return. Was boring and taught them nothing

Hi Open play is great for the little ones on Friday mornings- one Friday was ruined thou when a parent had an unofficial birthday party there and ruined it for all the little ones- not one parent was taken ownership of watching their child rough housing- very disrespectful and ignorant

Such a great place for our daughter to learn gymnastics and have fun! They really care about each student. My daughter can't wait to go and doesn't want to leave.
