What a class actually looks like
Every Beginner Gymnastics class follows the same four-part shape, so you always know what you are walking into.
- 1
Warmup and conditioning
Running, stretching and targeted strength work so bodies are ready for the skills that follow.
- 2
Event rotations
Small groups rotate through vault, bars, beam and floor, each with a coach and a specific progression.
- 3
Skill progressions
Drills and shaping stations break each skill into steps, so kids earn the full version instead of forcing it.
- 4
Strength and stretch
A short conditioning block and stretching to build the flexibility beginner skills demand.
