Being two former athletes from Pickering Athletic Centre we can honestly say our experience was terrible. We trained there for over 3 years and though we learned a lot we were very horribly treated. The coaches make you lose interest in gymnastics with their harsh words and over competitiveness. All they want is your money and don't really about the progress of a child. When confronted about any matter, they can be very disrespectful and uncooperative. Personally, this is not the place to go.

As a former provincial athlete of Pickering Athletic Centre, it is safe to say that the staff have influenced my development as an athlete and a young adult. In gymnastics you learn respect, discipline, and perseverance. These are established from a young age and are carried with you throughout the rest of your life. I've learned countless lessons from the coaches and staff at Pickering Athletic Centre and it is with great pride that I've called this place my second home for nearly 15 years as an athlete and a coach. No matter what age you are, gymnastics is a great sport to take part in to stay in shape and learn body awareness, and the only place I can recommend to start that journey is Pickering Athletic Centre.

We had our son's 4th birthday party there this past Saturday. Booking it with the office was a breeze. The coaches that ran the party were amazing! The kids had so much fun! We'll be back again next year. Great job PAC!

The Pickering Athletic Centre is a fabulous gym. The children love the gymnastics, the coaches and the friends they make, be it in camp, classes, special events... Safety is priority, followed closely by fun and learning! The coaches truly care about each of their athletes and are knowledgeable about the sport. Every child is taken care of and allowed to progress safely at their own rate.

Horrible experience! My daughter was bored after the first month. They do the same thing week after week. The coach looked like she had no interest in being there whatsoever. There are too many kids in one area, mad chaos... I emailed my notice in them and still no response back from them after a week and a half. There seems to be a terrible lack of professionalism, poorly run. But that's my opinion.
