I have been bringing my 3 yr. Autistic son to swim class at Break the Barriers for about the past almost 6 months. He has had the same coach the entire time, and she was really nice and did great with him. Recently, I overheard another coach talk badly about another Autistic kid that has private lessons the same time my son does. When I brought this up to the aquatics director, I was offered no apology, or reassurance anything would be done. For a company that is based around special needs, I was very disappointed to learn they did not take this matter seriously. I will no longer be bringing my son back, as I do not know who is talking badly about him when we are not around.

This is a wonderful place for everyone. Includes veterans, special persons of all kind and young children. They have wonderful instructors who teach karate, ballet, swimming, and many more things. Even adults and children in wheelchairs. Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE. We all need to BREAK THE BARRIERS

Everything is amazing about this place. My daughter did gymnastics and my son does archery. All coaches and staff do everything in excellence. Both me and my son are doing archery and the CEO himself came and gave me amazing pointers. Only come if you want to learn from professionals.

My son is able to learn how to swim 1on1 with weekly sessions and they are so great at handling kids ranging all ages and and even adults too! My son is calm during these lessons which is the best thing for him! I absolutely love it here and I am so happy I brought my son in!

Possibly the greatest thing that comes outta Fresno. Unless you intimately know the physical, emotional and social struggles of our disabled-bodied brothers and sisters (and also their parents who work so hard to help them live normal and successful lives), it’s hard to grasp the important mission and service BTB provides to Central California. Just go to one of their many performances at Fresno State games, NFL, NBA, etc. and watch the crowds get emotional and inspired by these awesome (and sometimes invisible) kids.

I love this place and their philosophies. I take my daughter here for dance and she loves it. Even though shes young, every time we pass by it she asks if shes going to dance. I hate to give just 3 stars for this place, but I do have a major complaint of how they dont allow make-up classes. I feel like I waste money if my daughter is sick or we have another emergency to attend to. It would be great if they could somehow keep track of attendance and class sizes to allow for make-up classes. Shes been in some classes that were low in number and couldve accommodated students needing a make-up class. Id really love for her to continue taking classes here, but Im very tempted to look at other facilities that allow for make-up classes.

Break the Barriers is a great place for kids to learn and play. My nieces 4 and 2 have taken ballet and gymnastics. They love it! The staff is very caring and they cater to all types of capabilities.

My daughter went here for about a year and a half to two years. At first they were really good at teaching her but as she got to know more stuff they started paying attention to the ones That needed more help and left her behind. They kept getting more and more children with the same amount of teachers and eventually I realized I was wasting my time and money and so we left and so did at least three other people in my daughter class. Very big disappointment. It was for the best as my daughter has know learned how to do backbends and flips something they did not have time to help her with.

Hi so I would like to ask why you dont have a Gife certificate log for your business you are a business for children and children losse things and I would also like to ask why there was such bad costumer surves my family has been going here for years and we have had troubles with this woman befor and there are some many other kids afraid of this woman that works at the front desk she is an older woman short and had curly blond hair and she gave the worst costermer service and I dont know how you think having someone like that work there will let you have more kids going there I think that would make people not want to go because of the way they are treated right at the beginning. I do love how everyone is excepted when you are in the class but I do think you guys should work on the log list and the people working there and how they treat there customers
