My daughter has been going to this gym for two years. Like others have said, Robert is an amazing coach. Too bad there aren't more of him. My daughter started in rec but with Robert as her coach she quickly moved to teams and now competes and loves it. She has had a positive experience. I love that Vitaly is always in the gym. A lot of the coaches are Russian and the hardest thing for my daughter was to get used to the way they communicate. She has learned to listen to what they say not how they say it. She has even picked up a little Russian.
