This gym has always been my second home. I have taken classes here since I was a wee preschooler and am now on team until I graduate in a year. The gym itself is one of the best in the area boasting all the standardized equipment for both mens and womens gymnastics, including 12 beams, 2 square trampolines, a tumble tramp and the double mini (about 5 by 2). The gym also has 2 foam pits, 2 floors (1 springed, one not), a super springy tumble strip and natural lighting. Parents are able to watch through bay windows. I have been coaching here for 2 years and all of the coaches I have had and work with are energetic people who are here because they love gymnastics. Coaches like to push the students but not until the kids break. I love coming here for my own practice as well as to coach.
Preschool classes(2.5-5 yrs) are taught in co-ed groups of 6 divided by ages. There is one coach per group and they meet once a week and work basic skills on all aparatus.
Beginning girls/boys are evaluated by skill on the first day of class and are divided by skill level into groups of about 12 and are taught by 2 teachers.
Pre-team, Intermediate team and Advanced team are all try out only and compete in Rocky Mountain League and USAG. The team typically forms close bonds with each other making the gym a grreat place for the girls and boys to have fun while getting stronger. Team kids also have the additional opportunity for open gym which is available from 3-8 on mondays -Thursdays for free.
Open gym is available on Saturdays from 1-3 and costs $8. Aprox. 8 coaches work open gym and no private coaches or parents are allowed in the gym. Open to ages 6-18.
Birthday parties are available on Sunday afternoons and are staffed by 2 coaches and are not to teach new skills but to play on trampolines and the pit.
Coaches are great, location is great, gym is great, kids are great!
