Recreational Classes
Why Gymnastics?
All of our gymnastics programs develop a range of physical, cognitive, and psychological skills necessary for healthy childhood development. Gymnastics helps improve strength, mobility, spatial awareness, and more in a safe and fun environment. Children also learn a variety of cognitive functions including self-confidence, mental resilience, and concentration. Skills learnt in gymnastics are translatable to many other sports and other areas of live like work & school. Participants of all ages & abilities can benefit from the physical & mental affects of gymnastics. And its fun!
