Mercury Gymnastics

My review is not in reference to their gymnastics classes but instead about the gymnastics party I recently had there for my three-​year-​old twins.
When scheduling the party with their front desk staff I specifically changed the date of the event in order to have a room for the little ones to run around in. If you do not have the party in a room you get an area with tables on the balcony surrounded by a metal railing and all other party goers. I chose not to have that area as again this was a party for toddlers. When we arrived we were escorted to an area on the balcony rather than a room. When I asked why we were not in a room I was told someone made a mistake and this is just what we were going to get. At this point we had no choice but to just make the best of it. Later as our party was starting to get to the allotted time the front desk attendant asked us if we would like to extend the party by 30 minutes and have another charge. I asked why we would have another charge when we were already put out with no room… spending half our time chasing after children rather than attending to the party. Her response was «that is in the past»!! Seriously? She could’ve easily done a few things to make up for the mistake made by the center but instead chose to make the situation worse. So not only did we get booted out of our room but were also charged more for the party!
Not a fan!

To start, I was a gymnast for 14 years and to say I was disappointed would be a complete understatement. My son did gymnastics here for a year and a half. When we started, it was decent. But over the summer, I noticed class sizes getting larger and the kids doing less and less. During the school year the gym is overcrowded and my son may get to two events and spend 75% of the class stretching or jumping into the pit. The coach did not seem to care wether the kids participated or not. After watching the interest level of our son continually decrease, we decided to drop the class. Apparently when I paid for my annual registration I signed some waiver that I would give a two week drop notice which was in July. In October, We decided to stop coming because of the time and money for something my son did not enjoy and apparently never gave this notice. We had not been there since October and I get a statement in the mail at the end of January saying I owe for December, January, and February. We had never received a phone call or a question why our son had not been there for three months, just that we owed over $ 200 for lessons we never attended. They said it is not the responsibility of the coaches to take attendance. They said since I was to give a two week drop notice that they couldn’t do anything about it. I ended up having to pay for December and January. My suggestion to anyone considering this gym, is to go in and watch a class before committing to over a year of expenses lessons. Not impressed with the quality, attention, or customer service. Legally they are off the hook but ethically they are a sham!!!

Loved it! The kids had a BLAST!!!
Went for a 7^th birthday party &
I want my next party here too!

Is the facility nice — YES! I guess it depends on what you’re looking to get out of it. We wanted some good beginner gymnastics instruction to see if our daughter has any serious interest. Well, for $ 15/hr…times 6 little girls ($ 90/hr)…it was basically the «go have fun and bounce around» hour. I was not impressed! For that cost, I expect more… if the cost was lower and it was just a teaser class, I would say that it is worth it, but not for what we got. My daughter is pretty athletic… she does extremely well in dance… and after 8 classes I don’t think she is any better at any of it. It’s paid babysitter time that’s fun for the kids. I imagine for the kids that are serious that this place is awesome. You will see some really talented kids there. From a beginner side, overpriced in my opinion.

Amazing! Went for a Birthday Party, kids had a great time. This is probably one of the best gymnastics facility in the KC area.
