Monarchs National Gymnastics Training Center

SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE --I pulled my six year old out of Monarch Parkour classes due to poor supervision and lack of instruction that ultimately resulted in serious injury. As you'll see in some of the reviews below Monarch's younger staff are easily distracted. When my son was injured the staff were completely unaware it had occurred in fact they were across the gym when he fell from the obstacle they were supposed to be spotting him on. When I called in to discuss my concerns about safety the manager acknowledged no incident report has been filed by the instructor. Additionally she indicated I was not the first parent to voice concern on the way these classes were being run. What added insult to injury was when I was assured they would discuss what happened in their staff meeting and would call me back with the result of this discussion. However I never received a call back. Instead I got an automated billing email - apparently they credited me the cost of the remaining classes my son will not be able to attend because of the injury he received in their Parkour class. I had already told the manager that my son would not be returning to the Parkour class because of the lack of attention and organization that had ultimately resulted in his injury. I missed work due to the necessity of taking my son to the doctor; he missed days of school as he is unable to walk due to the severity of his injury. Kids will get hurt but to have these children climbing through obstacles and jumping from one platform to another while their instructor is on the entirely opposite side of the gym is just plain dangerous. I strongly suggest considering another gym. After the experience I’ve had with the young staff and downright lack of concern and consideration from the management staff I would strongly suggest choosing another gym. I’ve never been so disappointed and frankly disgusted with how a situation has been handled.
