TNT Gymnastics & Parkour

Preschool Gymnastics at TNT is so much FUN! Learning through play, our littlest gymnasts ages 18 months to 5 years of age experience classes focused on basic gymnastics shapes, coordination, balance, large motor skills, and strength.

Toddlers: Grown-ups participate with our toddler gymnasts as they are lead through gymnastics- based obstacle courses to increase body awareness, develop large motor skills and have fun!

Terrific 3's: Our 3's class will learn how to participate independently in a gymnastics class. Listening, following directions and taking turns is emphasized in this class as our gymnasts play to learn basic gymnastics shapes, balance, coordination and large motor skills.

Fantastic 4's: As they prepare to move into progressive gymnastics, this class focuses on further learning basic gymnastics shapes, balance, coordination and strength.

Beginner Gymnastics at TNT focuses on the fundamentals of gymnastics and is great for all sports. Coordination, balance, agility, hand-eye coordination and body awareness chime throughout our curriculum. Gymnasts enjoy participating in fun activities on all four women's gymnastics events--vault, uneven bars, balance beam and floor.

Beginner 1: (5-7 years) For gymnasts just beginning their journey. This class focuses on beginning gymnastics shapes, strength, flexibility and body awareness. As gymnasts progress they will be leveled out by their coach to beginner 2.

Beginner 2: (5-9 years) After learning some of the basic gymnastics shapes and skills, gymnasts move to beginner 2 where we continue to explore the world of gymnastics. Strength and body awareness are emphasized in this class, preparing the gymnasts for advanced beginner where they will work on new gymnastics skills.

Advanced Beginner: (6-14 years) Excitement continues as we begin to put our strength and flexibility into more gymnastics skills. Advanced Beginners will enjoy learning and perfecting beginner skills while preparing for intermediate level gymnastics.

TNT's intermediate recreational classes begin taking gymnastics to the next level. Now beginning to add skills together to make a series, these classes continue to challenge our recreational gymnasts.

Intermediate 1: (ages 5 and up) This class is for gymnasts who have tested out of Advanced Beginner or have been evaluated at this level. This class also utilizes all four apparatuses and the trampoline. Gymnasts will continue to perfect the skills introduced to them in Advanced Beginner. They will also begin working on round-offs, bridge kick-overs, as well as moving their basic floor skills to the low and medium balance beams.

Intermediate 2: (ages 5 and up) This class is for gymnasts who have tested out of Intermediate 1 or have been evaluated at this level. Gymnasts will work on perfecting skills they have learned in Intermediate 1, while also learning new skills, such as double back hip circles, jumping to the high bar, and cartwheels on the beam. This level is designed to prepare gymnasts for our competitive TEAM program. We will spend more time conditioning for advanced gymnastics skills as well as introduce dance and choreography for routines.
