1 /5 Erika Ali: I do not recommend Warren Gymnastics. My 3-year-old niece attends classes here, and unfortunately, I’ve consistently witnessed troubling behavior from some of the instructors. Specifically, there appears to be a serious lack of patience and understanding when working with toddlers.
During multiple classes I’ve attended, I observed one instructor become physically rough with a little girl who was having trouble sitting still. She yanked the child by the arm and forced her into a sitting position on the floor. This is completely inappropriate and unacceptable behavior.
In another instance, I saw a different instructor belittle a toddler for not completing the course exactly as expected. Rather than redirect or encourage the child, the instructor removed her from the activity and made her sit out for the remainder of that portion of class.
If you do not have the patience, empathy, or proper training to work with very young children, especially those with short attention spans, you should not be teaching them.
Parents, if your child is enrolled here, I strongly urge you to closely observe how the instructors interact with the kids. These early experiences matter, and no child should feel unsafe, shamed, or mishandled during what is supposed to be a fun and encouraging activity.
