Seaside Training Center - Port Orange, Florida

I was hoping they updated it since two years or more ago we tried it out- but the same filthy Chairs were still there in the viewing room. my daughter went to one trial class and is now violently puking with a fever not sanitary at all and an old space. Vents AC need cleaning viewing room needs a whole update for years
And the hurricane has nothing to do with it because these chairs were here years ago.

I have friends there that are pulling their children out. Too disorganized too many kids VS coaches. It’s chaotic the viewing room is small. It’s not kept up. . I’m sure. They have a lot of children there they take a lot of money in for gymnastics and after school chairs are cheap and often for nothing at Goodwill and Salvation Army. I would be embarrassed if it was my business.

Then to Reid they left a child in the car and lied about it Yuck. Not my energy not up to my standard of cleanliness I’m surprised Port Orange moms who act like Port Orange is above some of the other towns nearby except this it’s like a day care really. A dirty one. I’m sure the competition team is pretty good and I’m sure that’s all they really care about it shows. I know a couple of the people are nice in the aftercare and coaches, but they don’t have enough help. They need a whole new revamp and double the staff.
Ormond is only option sadly. Because it’s far so many settle. I can’t. Maybe if re do and keep half clean.

We Love Ace So Much !!! I signed my daughter up for a trial class with another gym and we had a horrible experience. We then tried Ace and it was night and day !! We were able to do a free trial class for my 21 month old daughter and she absolutely loved it ! The class was extremely structured and well ran which the other gym just let the kids run around with no structure at all ! I was also worried about the pandemic but the instructor sprayed everything down and sanitized her hands along with all of the other students hands which was reassuring and great to see ! The coach so sooo nice and patient ! She had the perfect temperament for toddlers ! My baby cried when the class was over LOL ! I was so impressed with this gym and how well my daughter did in ONE class. She is now 2 and we start classes consistently today and we are so excited to become a part of the Ace family!

My 5 year old daughter began her gymnastics journey this past summer at ACE Gymnastics. I did a lot of research both on the web and through word of mouth before we signed her up at ACE. I wanted my daughter to be trained, not babysat. I called and scheduled her FREE trial class; she loved it. They let us pay for another single class before we made the commitment; she still loved it. She goes once a week for an hour and sometimes we pay a little extra to take her to Fun Friday Training. The coaches have been very patient with her and are teaching her proper gymnastics technique (again, this was very important to us). They do evaluations and post them to your private account so you can see how well your child is doing. They offer training camps during school holidays; she has loved this also. I've watched my daughter accomplish things I never thought she would training here and it's only been six months. They have a large viewing room for parents. The coaches and office staff are friendly and communicate well about upcoming camps and shows. I would highly recommend this gym.

My daughter has been going to Seaside Training Center for about 3 years now. At first, she came in 1 day a week for the recreational classes. Then, she wanted to attend the special event nights. Gradually, she started to show interest in the competitive team. She's been training and competing for the past year now and she loves it! She's truly growing as a gymnast and as a young lady. It has helped her self esteem and confidence grow. We're so blessed to feel like family here and I'm grateful for each of the coaches she's trained with; they've been caring and supportive since day 1. Watching all they do for the kids, behind the scenes, only deepens my respect for them. Thank you for your dedication STC staff!!!

Genuine people who coach with heart and knowledge. I've had my daughter here for over a year and they assess her and move her level appropriately. Haven't seen any drama or favoritism from the coaches between Xcel and developmental gymnasts; they love all their girls! Owner Tracy and all the coaches are very approachable and willing to listen and answer questions

Seaside is our gym and afterschool! We are so appreciate that our daughter can be picked up from school, go to afterschool, and train for team without us having to leave work! She is well taken care of and treated kindly! She loves all the arts and crafts in afterschool and learning new skills at team practice. She loves her coaches and is so thankful for all the positive reinforcement.
Seaside is a lifesaver for those working parents that want their kids to compete but can't leave work to get them from school to the gym. THANK YOU SEASIDE!

This place seems completely out of control. Stay away and save yourself from a drama.
For many years we have had bad experiences as well as other families. They do everything to rob you. The staff is extremely disrespectful. Not only do they charge exorbitant registration fees and excessively raise class fees every year, but now they've started mandatory fees for rehearsals without consulting anyone. How would you force someone to attend your event just because you decided to do so and keep charging extra money for? They're making every effort to force participation in this event, draining more money from our pockets each day. Customer relations are very weak, and they seem to think they're teaching professional gymnastics when all they do is teach kids to jump and somersault while taking our money. It's a total scam, pure robbery, and massive disrespect. Even their reply to my comment is unacceptable. Why are you charging everyone registration fees every year to cover your insurance costs? That's something you should charge on initial registration or maybe included monthly fees. We should not be victims of your poor business decisions and pay registration fees every year. Also $150 for rehearsals is not the issue and we don't care what you are providing in return.
The issue is you are "MANDATING" and "FORCEFULLY CHARGING"everyone without their consent. Just because you communicated since December and decided to put a show by mandating the parents to pay doesn't justify your actions. You claim your show is an extracurricular activity, and we are not locked into anything. Then how and why are we mandated to attend and pay for it. And yes your staff don’t hesitate to tell lies to manipulate the situation and they are extremely disrespectful; when I called your staff told me this is how you do business, will keep increasing the prices every year and it's the trainer's and the owner's decision to put a show and mandatorily charge the parents.
Even though I never used any profanity or any type of cussing, she lied to the owner about me threatening her and she fears for her life; and the owner demanded me to apologize from her employee when I am the one needed an apology for being robbed, put in a situation like this with lies etc.
Ridiculous.
We are normal people with normal life. This was a big issue for us. But it’s just a small matter for them as they act like this everyday.

And the owner called me and clearly stated they are removing my child from their course as a retaliation of this negative social media review.

You should be ashamed of your business model.
