We felt included from day one. It feels like a big family. My daughter's coach, Olivia, is simply wonderful - patient, excited, kind, knowledgeable, encouraging and still sets clear expectations so my daughter feels confident she can achieve her goals. The owners answered all my many questions with kindness, which I really appreciated, too.
I am so incredibly impressed with this gym in hopes of getting my daughter ready for school cheer tryouts. Her jumps look great and she nailed her round off back handspring tonight at her first football game.Just as important as the cheers she has learned, she feels an incredible amount of support from her coaches. She is more confident in attempting new skills. The coaches push her to go slightly beyond her comfort zone and hype her when she does well. She leaves every single class feeling excited about things she did well at and when she is struggling will tell me exactly what she was told to do better next time.I am so thankful we found this gym to help my daughter move to a higher level with her skills!
My family was a part of the X-Cel family for over seven years, and we couldn't have been happier with the way we were treated. Each coach takes the time to carefully develop a plan of action for each athlete's skill set which gets implemented into the larger group (team). The owner, Melanie, and her highly accredited staff would do anything to ensure that the athletes feel welcome, safe, and part of something bigger than just cheer -- A FAMILY! At no point did our family feel as if they were discriminatory or unfair; everything was done as a result of the passion they all share for the sport of cheerleading. Of all of the gyms in the Northeast Ohio area, I would have no reservation whatsoever of recommending a competitive cheerleader to go to X-Cel Athletics and Step One North.
This is our 4th year at Xcel and we’ve had an exceptional experience! The coaching staff has been amazing- my daughter has had continuous improvement in her skills while learning to work hard as a team. The owner of the gym is actively involved and has been an outstanding mentor to my daughter. I would definitely recommend this gym for a great all around experience!
