My daughter cheers for lillington CIM and Ms. Holly and Ms. kayla are above and beyond amazing! They love these girls so much! I feel after reading so many other reviews that this company doesn’t get the appreciation it deserves. It takes parents being consistent so routines don’t change right before competition and actually attending practices and not dropping out before competition. You can tell what parents are all in at completions and what parents take it lightly. This is competitive cheer and requires a lot of commitment. You have to be committed and actually want to see your child succeed in cheer. Regardless I love they get medals even if they don’t place. Our first state due to girls not showing for the last two practices and not showing for competition there was a change in routine before hitting the floor and they flopped at the end but you could see they still tried and walked off proud, and got a medal anyways!!! It takes coaches and parents to make it what it is. Will be back this spring and be better than winter! I plan to continue cheer for my little with this company until she says she’s done. Thank you again to Ms. Holly & Ms. Brittany ❤️

Im so happy that my daughter is a part of CIM at the lehigh Acres location. Coach Gab and coach Cam are awesome with the kids. They somehow manage to have all this patience with all these little ones running around. They show our kids how to work together as a team and also trust each other while building their confidence all at the same time. They actually compete so be ready for that. Its quite a thrill.

Super affordable ($10 x class) cheerleading program that has given our girls confidence, a sport that they are growing so much love for, a team they care for and where they have made new friends. Coach Gab and coach Cam are amazing! Trying out for level 4 soon and my daughters only concern is “ is coach Gab and coach Cam still going to be our coaches?” Have been with them since their 1st season In Lehigh 💯 recommended!

I can not say enough about Coach Shrean. Her patience for the girls and enthusiasm shows that she loves what she does.

We do not look at our high point location just as a cheerleading team but as a "cheerleading family". Our coach goes above and beyond for all 4 of our teams both our high point level 1 - 3 and our level 4 Royal flush team, she doesn't just coach our girls but she also mentors them.

It appears to be a money scheme to me. You literally pay for everything weekly practice, uniforms, props, etc. you have to pay for your child to compete. I gave it 2 stars because my little one enjoys it and looks forward to practice. We opted out of competition not due to lack of funding but due to a lack of time spent on the routine. When they allow the parents to come in and watch it is very clear the girls aren’t prepared and it’s just not worth investing money into something that lacks time investment.

When my oldest first started it was fun. Then we got to go to our first nationals. Then my youngest joined and after a bit she quit because she was tired of being in her sister's shadow. Then her sister aged out, but was allowed to come back another year because of her senior year being 2020 and getting cancelled. Then once she was out my youngest thought she could go back in to a team and no one but the coach knew who her sister was. Then she missed one night due to a viewing and she was replaced and when she came back she was expected to go to a new spot and learn it quickly. She doesn't do well with sudden change. Then the coach did the worst thing ever and compared her to her sister. Coaches, teachers, or even parents should ever compare children. Also why if this is a "non profit" which I don't think it is. Anyway why if a kid or team fundraises and uses their uniform or the CIM name do they have to give up 10%? Fundraising all and I repeat ALL money should go to the kids. This company has become money hungry and not at all worth the money. And the $10 restocking fee if you return a uniform.... 😂 All you do is put it back on the shelf. I have personally been to a place where all the uniforms were stored and I see no reason to have to pay the return shipping plus the $10. There's probably more I could say but I think this is enough for one night.

So I have been with Champions in motions for 2 years, never had to contact the office until this year. They are suspicious when it comes to policies. When asked about the companies policy, they asked which group I was with and never responded. I sent two more emails and Dakota never responded in reference to the same issue. Simple question about fundraising for our girls team. The coach for our team had a lack of interest in coaching our girls, she cut practices short and told the cheerleaders they should just pray!! What kind of leadership is that. Lastly, our team was dropped and I was not notified at all, other parents apparently got emailed. Bad business on Champions in motions part. I can verify all this and more.

I would give 0 stars if I could. Just finished the summer showcase where everyone is supposed to win at least one category (it's summer showcase, not a normal competition). The CIM judges left out only one group out of all levels and locations. I don't even have a child in that level, but I noticed that they left them out. CIM should absolutely be ashamed of themselves. When I asked to speak with management they were all conveniently missing.

Fees are ridiculous! You have to pay to watch your child compete, then you have to pay $50-65.00 for your child to attend and you have to drive up to 4 hours (up to 8 hours in a day or longer) or get a hotel room without notice of completion times/dates to prepare. Little to no communication with the organization, if you have an issue with the policy, CIM will direct you back to the coach. Half of the time, the coach is not aware of the policy. Certain cheer teams are favored than others! Why pay to compete when the team is already set to lose!!?

At this moment I am at the competitions in Davenport... It seems absolutely abusive that we parents have to pay an entrance fee to be able to see our daughters in their presentation when they have already paid $45 for each registration fee and also $5 for a medal. stake. I understand that perhaps limiting the number of people per child would be good but charging the parents themselves is unnecessary. The girls in our group were told NO makeup, NO lumps, and most of the other teams had everything. There should be the same rules for all groups. I also noticed groups in which there were notably girls with a very marked age difference and it doesn't seem fair to me, clearly very big girls can do a better job carrying very small girls and obviously their lifts will turn out very well... they should all be in the same age range or then allow all teams to mix their ages. No less important, I thought that the event was very poorly organized. At the entrance they did charge us but we were not told where the girls should go, it took a long time to find our coach. Girls in their immaturity do not understand much about these things, but for a parent who has to make so many sacrifices, it is uncomfortable to have to pay so much and come across these things. They even allowed me to take a photo of the girls in the competition area when there weren't even other people there... It was just a photo for our memory. I thought it was a very rude act.

Your new Daytona coach (Tara) is absolutely rude and has been from the moment she started in February. I’ve let it go thinking give her time but today was the last straw. She screams at the children when they get routines wrong as well as telling them to shut up. She also belittles and talks down to the parents. When I had an encounter with her today I asked her why she was always so rude and she said that’s just who she is. We will not be back and will not recommend if that’s the kind of person you allow to be a role model for and help teach our children. Maybe someone should let her know this isn’t Dance Moms and to relax a little!

Would like to share my experience with Champions in Motion. I inquired about cheerleading for a five year old Type One diabetic. This child wears a continuous glucose monitor and an insulin pump. Per her medical providers, she should not be left with anyone who cannot monitor for hypoglycemia, take her glucose, adjust her pump settings or administer glucagon shots. According to the "coach," absolutely NO ONE is allowed to attend practice. Not a parent/guardian or a personal medical aide. I offered to join as a Parent Volunteer, as the corporate website states that PV would have access to classes and backstage at events. Not according to this coach. PV sit outside class. Coach told me that she has accommodated all sorts of disabilities, epilepsy, down's syndrome ... but she has no personal knowledge of type one diabetes. She told me I could sit outside the room, and if I need to come in and adjust her pump, I could do so and EXIT IMMEDIATELY. Anyone who has any experience with TYPE ONE in a FIVE YEAR OLD knows that you cannot just adjust insulin and walk away. Eyes on the child will detect behavioral indications of hypoglycemia that a CGM cannot pick up. I called the corporate office in Cary NC; the person who called me back was not really able to address the issue. The gist of the conversation is that classes are closed for the convenience of the coach. I asked if all of the CIM sports classes would be closed to parents at that location, and she was unable to answer. I stated that perhaps the child could take a different sport. I asked, and they do not have medical personnel at practices to monitor children. She stated that the local manager would call me back. That hasn't happened. (Reading other reviews, it seems that closed practice is a corporate policy ... not sure why the office would not know the policy.) Just be aware, if your child has a medical disability and requires a parent to monitor devices and medications, this company has a policy of CLOSED PRACTICE. You will NOT be allowed to accompany your child. The coach told me that 'everyone has to follow the same rules,' which by definition means 'no one will have accommodations.' I have to wonder, if we walk in with a service dog accompanying the child ... will the dog have to sit outside the room as well? I am truly disappointed, not only for our little who would have loved to participate, but for all the other disabled children who are excluded from the team.

I would give them a zero if possible. After discussing with a member on what I was searching for I was reassured the Champions was the spot( AAU team). However, once we arrived at the location we noticed that is was simply basic basketball training. This was not what we were searching for at all. I notified the owner immediately. He directed me to steps for getting a refund. After months and months going back and forth I still never received a refund. They gave me the hardest time over trying to get my $32 dollars back that I said forget it. I will never patronize this organization ever again, and I will let everyone know how they are.

We were the durham diamond’s , she falsely assumed that us cheerleaders were going to see an outside tumbling coach , we all knew it was in the rules to not visit any outside help. coach tykia or how every you spell her name, she didn’t help us at all nor did she wanna be there because she put zero to no effort into our routine at all.She knew we’re looked a hot mess but she didn’t care because she wanted to have our parents money to do whatever when ever.

We were apart of a very affordable program for a little over two years, Champions in Motion - Durham. We matriculated levels throughout the program through the hard work, dedication, perseverance, and tenacity of the cheerleaders, and parents that i proudly call my family now. It is unfortunate that the company did not match the same kind of efforts that the team and parents put fourth. The motivation, self-esteem building, development and skill building skills, all came to a gradual halt as we moved from level three to a level four status, which is unfortunate. It was a very disappointing experience that the cheerleaders and parents endured. The girls experienced a very emotional downward roller coaster that could have impacted their self-esteem and desires to cheer. It seems like almost every year the company has had to produce a new coach in Durham since we have been there. The coaches do not get the support they need from the organization. When we started with the program the first coach left in the middle of the season and we got a new coach who managed 17 teams then left and another one took over. Since we have had the new coach it has been very interesting and not in the best way. It was not a pleasant season for the girls at all. It appeared that the girls were asked basically to teach themselves without true guidance and support from the coach. The coach reported that she has the girls come in and do the work on their on. It was shocking to hear from the cheerleaders that the coach meant what she said that she was providing little to no support to them. They were basically coaching themselves. She appeared to stand back and watch without correction. She repeatedly would inform the parents that the cheerleaders were doing bad and appeared frustrated. The parents would ask for specific details on what the girls needed to correct to no avail. When asked questions, or requested to provide a video of the routine or the music the coach we were reprimanded and also told not to practice at home. I am still unclear as to how the girls are supposed to progress to be champions if they are not getting guidance during practice, told not to practice at home, practice times were cut short on multiple occasions, without concrete suggestions on how to fix the issue. We experienced issues were from the beginning it was challenging because from week to week there was one or two girls potentially absent due to illness. The coach indicated that she could not teach the girls the routine because one of the cheerleaders was out instead of teaching them that they are on a national level team and should be versatile to keep the program moving forward. When parents requested clear details, videos, music, resolution suggestions, proper guidance and instruction for the girls, it was met with resistance and reprimands through strongly written BAND Notes, and then suspension letter. At no time, was a professional grievance process or discussion followed especially after the girls received what appeared to be a poorly coached season. We deserved due process which was not given. This is a very disappointing end to this now tarnished team. It is good that the cheerleaders have strong parents to lift them up after the demeaning disconnected practices and they endured. This was not just a cheer parent group, we have become a family. Ordinary we are not. The girls and parents are top notch. I wish that i can say the same for the organization that i once loved so much. It is a shame that the company did not appreciate what they have in dedicated parents and good coaches. The love for Champions In Motion Durham and the company is not so much anymore, it has diminished greatly. We have called, sent emails, with supportive evidence without a response. It is unfortunate that our thoughts and feelings did not matter. Additionally, I have been trying to get my money back for a double state registration payment and t-shirt that i did not receive but no one is responding.

As a first year participant in competitive Cheer, I am HIGHLY disappointed in this organization. Our team was suspended without any conversations with our team. Sent an email and was sent the EXACT response that was sent to another parent and then was invited to try out for another team that is over an hour away when there are closer teams. Our coach, Tikeya, was unprofessional, did not communicate with the parents, gave negative feedback to our girls with no guidance on how to correct, ended practices early,...clearly had no interest in coaching our team. We have raised money for our team and no clue where that money has gone. They have referenced things that "are in the contract" but are not in the contract and hasnt addressed. Refuse to give any reimbursement as they said the year is over...however our contact states September. I'm sorry, but the lack of integrity this organization has is disappointing. My daughter is heartbroken.

Well for starters i was promised a sibling discount over the phone($8,$7 & $6)for my 3 little ones, came in for our first class and asked 3 seperate times about a promotion and a test trial to see how they take to the class, and was still charged full price per child. Because im super blessed i "gave unto ceaser" and left. Will not recommend or return. Atmosphere wasnt welcoming or warm. Although it was expressed that an assistant is usually there to help the instructor still wasn't anywhere near interested in redirecting the distracted and uninterested children in this evenings class, here at the mallard creek location. Everything was in the air when i walked in no greeting or welcome.. just a long line at the door leading up to a lady collecting money at a table with a home made sign. The children were all running around aimless. When the class seemed to begin there was no introduction to my kids so they could know who to even address as the leader of the class.. they did some basic moves however no respect or principles were given or received. Poorly played out.. Usually they say you get what u paid for.. but this the exception to the rule. **update** mallard creek should really consider who they allow to conduct business at their facility**

My daughter has been with CIM for 8 years. The only reason we stayed so long was her love of the sport. The company is more concerned about politics, money and playing favorites than with the children. If they don't like a coach the girls pay the price. We watched a team last night drop stunts, get confused about their routine, ran over their time and just walk off the mat without finishing their routine. That team won 1st place. Other teams had flawless routines with the only mistake being a perfectly executed Tumbling pass that is approved for a level higher. After 8 years you will not get another dime of my money. After watching the way you have shafted our kids because you have an issue with our coach. A coach who has brought countless national placements to the organization. Done. Anyone reading this, take your kids elsewhere unless you want to watch them give 100% and get disappointed time and time again.

This company allowed my child with special needs to be a part of a team. They PROMISED ME that she would not be doing anything that would damage her physicallly. They allowed a coach that had been “reprimanded” or so they say make child do acro, causing to her to be on Valium and pain medication for muscle spasms. I was emailed and told last year she wouldnt be doing ANY ACRO PER DOCTORS ORDERS AND CHAMPIONS IN MOTION LEVEL TWO CITERIA. Email from CHAMPIONS IN MOTION... We do understand that your daughter has had some health issues in the past and we DO NOT want that to happen again. However, you have said that she does have clearance from her doctors to participate in class minus any tumble. With her being in Level 2 that should not be an issue, as there is no tumble allowed in a level 2 routine. THAT IS A DIRECT QUOTE FROM THIS COMPANY representative. They also have a this same coach that humiliates these children and allow her to continue working, with children. Apparently they do NOT care about a child, they care about that dollar. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS COMPANY! When told I would take my kid to her ortho doctor I was offered everything in the world such as free classes etc Our next stop will be an attorneys office. We don’t need free classes. I needed a coach and team that understood she didn’t need to physically or mentally belittle my child or anyone else’s. The ALMIGHTY dollar speaks volumes!!! So per the response I get back from rep I talked to was nothing was offered... yes. As a matter of fact it was when I was offered to have her finish out this cheer season and I told her I wanted NOTHING else to do with CIM! I look forward to this being resolved as well. We have a doctors appointment next week. Now I don’t plan to be in a pissing match with CIM but I do look forward to the outcome of this. If an investigation is going to be done I would love to have a sit down discussion about the results, just as I will when we see her doctor. This could have very easily paralyzed my daughter who ONLY wanted to be a partner of a team not physically and mentally humiliated in front of her peers by this coach who knew better!!! Has known better!!!! And I hope to NEVER find a child has been declined a chance to be a part of a team bc of disability. Does anyone need a level 2 uniform, summer shorts set or poms at a deal?

Let's see where do I begin with this company. For one their coaches are disrespectful and will steal another teams routine and try to play it off as their own. They tried to say that there were rules for summer showcase when for the past 3 years I have been with this company there have been no rules. Come on really my girls will never be back with this company as long as I am living. Trying to raise prices especially when a parent is trying to exchange a child's uniform with the tag still on it. Oh yeah when it comes to competitions they sit there and talk about other teams while they are performing. They really need to learn to build the teams up instead of trying to ruin their performances. It is time to grow up and be adults. You won't get another dime of my money.

I have 2 daughters that cheer with this organization and I highly doubt we will be back in the fall. We have poured hundreds of dollars and countless hours into cheer the past 2 years. Where I am fully aware of the "extras" that are not included, i.e. uniforms, competition fees, etc. I find the prices to be completely outrageous. I also find some of the policies to be ridiculous as well. For instance, if the girls want to compete in CIM competitions they must purchase uniforms, fair enough...however, why impose a rule that a separate uniform or "practice wear" be purchased for Summer Showcase? Why cant they wear the uniforms previously purchased? Why is the planning so piss poor at competitions? For instance, this past summer showcase lines were ridiculous for registration and purchases. Also, how can a company in good faith provide NO size chart for uniform or clothing purchases and then have the audacity to charge an exchange fee? The kicker to this all is to witness coaches and employees of this organization, laugh at and mock teams as they compete on the mat. It's both disheartening and distasteful.

My son has been attending karate classes consistently with this company for the last five years. Under the previous senseis, we loved it. There was never any confusion as to what was going on with the student, as the senseis made it a point to keep parents informed. However, now that we have had a revolving door of senseis, this is not the case anymore. If your child is doing poorly or doesn't pass their belt test, apparently the sensei will talk to the child and not the parent...but they surely will take my money every week! I quite enjoy being embarrassed when I show up to a promotion ceremony and am asked why I'm there because everyone BUT ME is aware that my child did not pass his test. I am disappointed in the direction in which this company has taken and will take my business elsewhere. It took me almost a year to get the bo staff I ordered and I only got it because the admin staff had to call and complain! My calls and emails were ignored. Your admin staff at the Jacksonville location is amazing, but your sensei leaves much to be desired. I thank them for their hard work and devotion. We will truly miss them, but we will continue our karate education with senseis that actually seem to care about not only their students, but also keeping their parents in the loop, as I am the one paying for the lessons and driving my child there...I kinda need to know what is going on with my child. I made mention to the admin staff my displeasure with the sensei and was told that it would be discussed with him, but he doesn't seem to care, as my comment on our CIM page about not returning was "liked" by the sensei. So we will be going with our previous senseis at their new dojo.

I am very disappointed with this company. Terrible communication!! No call-no show for two weeks now! My kids are super upset. And to top it off... we just ordered & received their karate outfits and they never got to wear them to class because the instructor never showed. Finally, I was informed by the lady at our rec dept that they had received (2 weeks after the last class they attended) an email stating that karate was over for there season! We were literally told at the last class that karate would be every Friday until September, by a lady that works with this company. We will not be back!

We signed up at our local park and Rec office for cheer. I was put off from the start. Things started racking up that I thought didn’t make sense. First, I was quite disappointed that I could not watch my daughter during practice so I could help her practice at home, considering this is competitive cheerleading and she’s 6 years old. How can anyone expect a 6 year old to practice on their own with out reinforcement from an adult? I’m not sure if this is the coach’s rule or CIM rule. We could take a cellphone video at the end of practice, but in all honestly I wouldn’t be sure what she was supposed to do (was that turn left or right?? Etc) While it’s $8 a week the Pom poms and Pom tags are additional, the uniform is $108, and you are expected to do a “fundraiser” of at least $30 or so to fund your child’s t-shirt and bow for competition. All I expected was registration and $8 a week because the flier that went home didn’t mention it was competitive cheerleading and I had pompoms shoved in my face during registration and had a hard time telling my 6 year old no when the woman selling them said that when they sold out they’d be hard to get... I thought it was cheer for fun. It’s really not that cost effective. Each level has a different uniform as well. And competitions range from $40-$60 and so far there is 2 a season. None of that was explicitly stated when I registered, I found it out as I went along. Our coach is OK. I think that most of my qualms are with the organization as a whole. It seems quite unorganized and I think that our coach needed an assistant coach, for starters. And I think she went above and beyond what was expected as a coach like having t-shirts printed and bows made - I think this should be a CIM gig not a coach duty. The kicker for me was our first competition where my husband and I witnessed the older girls squads doing stunts they had no business doing. There wasn’t sufficient spotters, girls were getting dropped, and even kicked in the face. It wasn’t even one team. It was several. For the love of safety, I would not let my daughter cheer with Champions in Motion beyond level 1 as it is apparent the coaches either haven’t a clue what they are doing or have no regard for the girls safety in mind, whatsoever. This is our first and last season with CIM. We will be moving to pop warner from here or a gym for cheer.

After my daughter's competitions are over, I will never go back! The coach in the Clayton area has a nasty attitude. I've sat back and watched her be rude to a parent, myself and my child. This is supposed to be fun and the coach acts like she doesn't like kids in my opinion.

Horrible communication. For the past 4 weeks the coaches have talked about getting the kids fitted for uniforms and even had phone calls going out to parents to confirm the fittings yet when we get to class nobody has a clue what’s going on and now it’s past the deadline to get the uniform. Completely pointless to even come here if your child can’t do the competition because there’s no communication as to when to order the uniforms or what size to get. The owner says to find information on their Facebook page yet they never update it. And the people who help run the team are completely clueless as to what is going on either. Long story short don’t waste your money here and take your kids somewhere else.

STAY AWAY!!!! If you are looking for an all around good company to cheer for, than you will definitely want to stay away from this one. Coaches are great however; The people at the main office claim to have the children's best interest at hand and that they are all about teaching good values and such and yet all they display is disrespect, discrimination, cheating, and bending the rules to suit their wants & needs and I could go on and on. when you sign your children up for things such as cheer or any sport for that matter, you do so knowing that you will not win every game, event, or championship. But you go into it with the expectation that things will be kept fair no matter what and all the rules will be followed. Well just this past weekend that was not the case, and it was very evident to everyone present. Just because the owner had a personal vendetta against our Head Coaches brother who just so happened to be our choreographer also, he decided early on that our girls were not going to place no matter how good they did compared to the other teams. I say this because our D5 girls killed their routine with only a .5 deduction and they did so well that MULTIPLE people (including the top "winners"/placers as well) approached us and told us that we should've been on that stage instead of them. And they were even willing to sign a petition for us. This SO CALLED PROFESSIONAL cheer company wouldn't even give us our scores sheets. Now some ppl will say that I'm just being a sore loser and that's ok because you don't know all the details. So on top of that as if it isn't enough, this company has always treated us as the outcast being that our group and coaches are one of the very few minority groups with CIM. When it came time for awards at the end of our sessions our girls got the crappy medals while other locations received the nicer shiny medals and I know this to be fact because the main office accidentally shipped the wrong box to us by mistake (or possibly intentionally, just to get under our coaches skin... who knows. B/C I truly believe they are just that dirty). Sorry for the long rant...but I want anyone interested in reading true statements to have facts about this company before you think about signing your children up with this horrible company.

Absolutely horrible. My daughter cheers with this company well actually as of NOW she will no longer be cheering with the company. Everything about this place is horrible. The coaches are all about self they aren't consistent and display very little interest in the kids. I spoke with someone in the Cary office and not 1 or 2 but the entire office staff was very rude and disrespectful and not helpful at all. This is the most selfish organization I've ever encounter not to mention a total rip off when it comes to the very expensive uniforms and the high cost of competition registration fees. Stay very very far away from this place especially the wake forest location
