::Great gymnastics studio. Decent lobby for parents with big windows onto the floor. Well organised. Has a small parking lot, often full.

::My daughter had her first class today. I should have visited this place first. Coming from another gym club, I mistakenly thought that this club would likely be fairly similar. Big mistake. This club is filthy dirty - and the stench! Simply disgusting. The equipment is old and falling apart. We won't return. Would rather forego the money we paid, then step another foot in that stink hole. Seriously, how does this place pass as a club?

::My daughter attended OGC for 7 years. Our experience was up and down. Coaching is key. We had many coaches that were really old school and used negative reinforcement as a means of motivating. This went over badly and there were many nights of tears. There were also times when we had great coaches and my daughter was highly motivated. In a 4 hour session about half is conditioning, which my daughter found boring. Parking is an issue. They need a roundabout to improve flow. The facility is pretty good, always clean, equipment is good, viewing room is small and parents are told not to watch(one way windows would help.) Overall, our experience was average. My daughter learned commitment, time management, how to take criticism, how to be judged and not take it personally, which are all good life skills. The coaching and management leaves a bit to be desired. They don't take criticism very well, ironically; I give them a 6.89....haha.

::I took classes here and personally I did not like it at all. They only focused on strength and fitness and they wouldn't allow me to do walk overs, flips, or anything. You aren't allowed to do flips on the trampolines. I got placed in a class with people that were way younger than me, and they were all learning cartwheels and handstands meanwhile I was trying to get my back handspring. My father was paying money for my classes and that was 3 of my classes wasted with younger children. Finally they realized that it wasn't a good fit and moved me up to a higher level. They do strength tests and grade you off of that. There also is not even close to enough parking. and kids are everywhere when you walk in.

::Oh yeah!! Pretty well-maintained building despite its age, adult classes and adult open gym sessions given here are great. Staff is friendly!
