The Braseltons

We tried two gyms. One was MyGym in Austin. We were in the neighborhood one day and asked questions. We returned later to let Zoe try the free class. The second place is a gymnastic place that is closer to the house. We tried a free day there too.

MyGym was a blast for Zoe. There were two instructors, Christy and Roxy. They had activities planned an going the entire hour. They arrange the place different every time. There were many kids that were all Zoe’s age. They incorporated music with the activities and made it really fun for the kids. Zoe left MyGym totally worn out. Even Tammy felt as if she had a workout.

The gymnastic place by the house was a real gym. There were extremely fit and well trained youngsters. It was impressive to see the level at which these children trained. The instructor was Erin and she was very good with Zoe. There were only two other kids in Zoe’s group. The facility was full with other age ranges of people doing different workouts. Unfortunately, it appeared as if Erin was always searching for activities for the kids. The place seems more geared for older kids. While Zoe had fun, she grew frustrated waiting for activities. We were only given 45 minutes also. We left the place and headed to McDonalds playland as Zoe was still full of energy.

After Tammy and I discussed it, we have decided that MyGym was better for Zoe at this time. It is more taxing on Tammy as she has to drive into Austin to take her and it will be more in fuel money too. We agreed to wait a year or two to move Zoe to this gym closer to the house when she is older and able to keep up with the older kids’ tempo and their patients. This is a case of Zoe’s well being and more of her level than convenience for the parents. We believe this will be the better choice in the long run for Zoe. Did I mention that MyGym was a blast?!?!?
