Class Descriptions
Gymnastics is an ideal activity for preschoolers. It is an excellent physical activity to develop gross motor skills, spatial awareness, coordination, strength, power, flexibility, musical awareness and creativity. Gymnastics is also a fun-filled, non-contact activity through which children can develop self-confidence, experience a wide variety of challenges and opportunity for social interaction. We utilize both our large main gym as well as our unique, colorful preschool gym - the Tot Kingdom.

Parent & Tot (45 or 60 Minutes)
This introductory class is designed for the 18 month - 3 year old child with an uncontrollable urge to move. A parent or guardian is required to assist in this class. A Parent & Tot class is the perfect environment to experience movement and discovery. This program develops running, jumping, climbing, sliding, hanging and rolling. Everyone receives a certificate upon completion.

Preschool Program
Our progressive preschool program guides the 3-5 year old through a fun-filled adventure of movement. All classes utilize circuits around the gym. The dominant movement patterns are emphasized - statics, landings, rotations, swing, spring and locomotions. In addition, projection, reception, rhythm and dance increase body awareness. Each session wraps up with a progress card and a ribbon upon completion of level. Come and join us under the dome!

Cangym (6 - 12 Years)
Cangym is a program designed by Gymnastics Canada for boys and girls who wish to learn the sport of gymnastics. Cangym is a progressive 14 badge program that challenges kids to develop their gymnastic skills in a fun and safe environment. Everyone will experience circuits on floor, bars, beam, trampoline, and the tumble track. Every child receives a progress card and a badge when each level is completed.

Adult Drop-In (16 - 99+ Years)
Have you ever had the urge to swing on the bar or bounce on the trampoline? Gymnastics is for adults too! Why not drop in Tuesday evenings between 8:30-10:00 p.m. and see for yourself. As adults, you have the whole gym to yourselves and an instructor to help you achieve your individual goals.
