Parent testimonials describe Starr Gymnastics & Parkour as an “amazing facility for kids to learn new techniques and have fun while doing it” and say that enrolling children there “is one of the best choices we have ever made.” Other testimonials mention “an unbelievable experience with all the classes and coaches,” call it a “phenomenal program, facility and staff,” and say the programs are “well organized and catered to the kiddos.” Several parents note that their children enjoy the parkour classes as “a great outlet…to burn energy and have fun in a group setting,” and that their kids are “all smiles after class.” One parent reports that their child who was not interested in team sports “absolutely loves the parkour program,” and another shares that their child “LOVES Starr Gymnastics,” attending baby drop-in classes as a baby and now enjoying toddler classes.
