The first review is very old and certainly out of date and inaccurate. My daughter has cheered here for over a year now and I can honestly say she loves it and it has been a great experience for her. I think the coaches have a true regard for the welfare and self-esteem of each participant. They are caring, dedicated and very encouraging. I has given her a place to belong and feel a part of a team! I highly recommend if you have a youngster wanting to participate in gymnastics or cheer that you check out Sanford Academy and Infinity Cheer Empire!

This place is great!!! My children love it there! The staff is amazing and the coaching is impeccable! We have been to several gyms and I can tell you that this place is the best in the area! Its sad that the people above have a negative opinion about this gym. A Place that provides a welcoming area to all children, regardless of ability! Their gymnastics team is top notch and the cheerleading team practices are run like well oiled machines! I can promise you this gym is cleaned on a nightly basis, but when you have 200 plus kids coming through the gym in a 4 hour period, the place gets a little messy, but I always see coaches vacuuming and cleaning all the time. andI am there 4 nights a week to witness it!

Like I said, my children love the environment and positive atmosphere. There are some super negative gyms out there and this one doesn't get involved in any of that negativity! Thank you SAGC! You guys are awesome!!

This place is dirty. It smells like a dirty gym sock left in the back of a locker for years. The paint is faded on the walls, the ceilings are dusty, the mats are never cleaned, and the bathrooms are even worse. Some of the teens that teach the classes lack work ethic. They are too concerned with flirting and texting. What concerns me most are the mats never being cleaned and the bathroom's filthy atmosphere. The bathroom is a huge concern. The toilets are not clean and are often clogged, the flooring has come apart and has black stuff that looks like sewage on the floor, stalls not stocked with toilet paper and have poop smeared on the walls of the stall along with other things, a few sinks do not work and there is always a shortage of soap and paper towels. They have plenty of clientele so they should be able to afford to remodel their bathrooms and/or hire a cleaning service. A bathroom should smell clean and look presentable. This bathroom is anything but.

One thing I do have to say is the teenage coaches seem to be nice. My child enjoys the place mats they are assigned to carry around for them to sit on. So, when it comes to child management, they are decent and creative.

The gym is always busy. I just don't understand why they can't invest the money into cleaning and remodeling the space. It's hideous. I've brought a few friends to interest them in putting their child in a class, but they weren't impressed and were disgusted by the filth. One friend refused to use the bathroom because she said it was disgusting. I was very embarrassed. If I am embarrassed with the condition, why isn't the owner? This should be their pride and joy. Instead, it repels. A few simple fixes and I would rate this place a 3 1/2-4 stars. Maybe they will read this and take this to heart. No hurt feelings are meant y'all. Just the truth.

Please think twice before sending your children here for cheer. The coaches have little discipline on the floor and allow the students to talk back and argue their way to a place on the team. During the team sleepovers the teams left the gym, went to a local store and were stunting and doing tumbling. The students were kicked out of the store and the coaches thought it was funny. More than one time during practice the coaches have walked off the floor and told the students to fix the routine themselves. The coaches spent more time on facebook during practice then on the floor and then call extra practices before competition. They say no drama is allowed but the coaches themselves start the drama by policing FB to see what the students are doing/saying

The staff there are rude and UNPROFESSIONAL. The place has mice running around and the staff is always late..Trust me go somewhere else..
