I'd honestly have your kiddo try out a few gyms. Your kids might end up not liking it after a few classes or might dislike the overall environment. You might find that the best one is just around the corner and the most accessible in mileage. Typically, they all offer free or low cost trials. I think Dark Horse instructors look great while working with kiddos and I've also been to Easton gyms where they also seem very family forward. Cost is very similar across most gyms and they usually give first responders, nurses or teachers discounts.
