1 /5 Zahra Mashayekhi: I rarely leave negative reviews, but after a full year of experience, I feel it’s important to share this to help other parents make an informed choice.
I enrolled both of my daughters at BTYC Gymnastics, twice a week, for an entire year—spending thousands of dollars in the process. Unfortunately, the quality of the teaching was extremely poor. The classes were overcrowded, and there was little to no proper supervision or guidance for the kids. The coaches seemed inexperienced and unengaged, showing no real interest in helping the children improve.
I often watched from above and noticed that when a child made mistakes or didn’t know what to do, the coach would simply watch them without correcting or guiding properly—then move on to the next child without addressing the problem.
After an entire year, neither of my daughters managed to learn even the basic skills properly—not a single correct move. If only one of them had struggled, I might have thought it was due to lack of talent or interest. But with both of my daughters—who have different abilities and personalities—the exact same lack of progress shows that the real issue lies with BTYC’s teaching system, not with the kids.
Sadly, I also know other parents who had the same experience and have taken their children out of BTYC.
Very disappointing for a club that has such a well-known name. Unfortunately, the reputation does not match the reality.
