Gymnastics for All

Need something fresh to get the kids moving after a long winter? Your kids will flip when they see the fun on offer at Kyle Shewfelt Gymnastics.

Created by Olympic Gymnastics Champion, Kyle Shewfelt, KS Gymnastics is unique in that it offers a wholly non-competitive experience. The focus is all on fun and fostering a love of physical activity. The programs at KSG will appeal to even the tiniest tumbler (Diaper Dare-Devils, anyone?), keeping in mind that all our little monkeys have different desires.

Gym360 lets kids master 10 different levels of gymnastic progressions in order to earn their own gold medal. Kids inspired by Cirque du Soleil will love the Rhythmic Gymnastics and Acro/Tumbling options. Future stunt artists who can’t stop climbing and bouncing off walls should explore the Trampoline or Parkour Program (where they will learn to literally overcome obstacles by jumping, rebounding and yes, climbing all over the equipment). There’s even an Acrobatic class that includes creating a human skipping rope—jump on that one! For kids who are all about other sports, the Up Your Game program uses gymnastics to build strength and give them an edge in their preferred area. And yes, there’s even yoga.

Classes are co-ed and cater to all, from tiny babes up to big kids, and funding support is available for eligible families. We love that they offer free pre- and post-care for all of their camps. Test out the experience at one of their Kids’ Night Out Camps on designated evenings—the three hour experience gives them a taste (and you a nice time-out).

Did we mention that adults have the chance to get their gold medal game on? From Warrior Gymnastics to Gymsanity (read: cardio meets cartwheels) and more, moms can find something fun to flip over too.
