My daughter was an optional gymnast at Empire for several years, but we chose to leave after the owner told me that her number one priority is protecting the coaches over the gymnasts. She was livid that my daughter told us things that happened at practice, saying she could no longer trust my daughter, as she expects the girls to keep secrets from their parents.

They also enroll way too many kids for the number of coaches. My daughter was seriously injured when she fell from the bars when the coach walked away while he should have been spotting her. There were too many kids for the number of coaches and they had knocked the mats out from under the bar, so her fall wasn’t cushioned. No coach even called us; my daughter had to call to be picked up for X-rays. (The coach made her call from the coach’s phone for proof they had contacted us, but she told my daughter she didn’t actually want to talk to us.). And when we arrived to take her to the ER, the head coach did not even come speak to us about the injury.

Empire will take your money and train your daughter to be a better gymnast. But they won’t keep her well being at the forefront. They will expect her to keep secrets, and if she gets hurt at practice, they won’t take care of her. So just be warned.
