Our recreational classes are perfect for the experienced gymnast and for those just starting out. We offer combined level classes as well as separate classes depending on the need of the students. Testing occurs several times throughout the year to see what skills students have retained and to determine if they are ready to move up. We recommend participation in at least two classes per week as more consistent participation in classes results in greater and improved fitness and strength. All classes listed below are 60 minutes in length. Apparel for class should either be a leotard, or a t-shirt/tank top with elastic waistband shorts/leggings. Hair must be pulled back and jewelry/socks must be removed.
*Tuition is based on a 4-Week Calendar Month. Membership is required.
