The Benefits of
Gymnastics Training

Some experts say that the greatest benefits of gymnastics training for children are physical: the amazing power, the unparalleled balance, and injury-preventing agility and grace. Other experts say that the greatest benefits are of the mind: the perseverance, the poise, the confidence, the attention to detail, the concentration. Which is right? Our experts know! The answer is, without a doubt, BOTH! In fact, professional gymnastics training is a prerequisite for all kids who want to learn how to become the best they can be in life. Gymnastics training is for all kids.

Balance Is Key

Is your youngster ready to flip and fly, tumble and twist, run and jump? Well, what did I miss? Oh yeah, they can swing on a bar and balance on a beam way up high. What about whizzing through the air as if they can fly? Gymnasts are grown everyday in our gym. The all start at the beginning and train from within. From the nervous beginner afraid to fall, all the way up to our team gymnasts that have conquered it all. To all of them we give the same push or nudge (sometimes we shove harder if they just won’t budge). What we expect from our strong, we expect from our weak. For our athletes to be able to produce and compete. Not just in this sport that we hold so dear! But through all facets of life to show no fear! Join us today in the gym with heart! Because we are the best place for your athlete’s dreams to start!

Preschool Gymnastics

Does your home qualify as a mini gym? Meaning does your preschooler turn your couch into a trampoline? Your cushions into mats? Your swing set into bars? The curb into a beam? Well, you probably need to find a safe way for your athlete to channel their inner and (outer) flipping. That’s where we come in! Our preschool program will help your youngster channel their flops into flips. Help start your pre-school age athlete on the way to a fun and safe gymnastics experience. Perfect Balance Athletics can provide your preschooler with exposure to so many different skills. More than just tumbling on mats, preschool gymnastics provides age-appropriate activities that create opportunity for:
  • Developing gross motor skills
  • Increasing coordination and flexibility
  • Learning safety skills
  • Building self-esteem / confidence
  • Participating in groups and working individually

School Age Gymnastics (Ages 6 and up)

This is the very first stop in our school age program and we couldn’t be more excited about training your young gymnast! We not only teach great gymnastics, but we teach it with some style! Some weeks are themed, some begin and end with activities, and some are just plain old fantastically, flipping gymnastics! All skills are learned through progressions with equipment and hands on spotting incorporated into the lesson plan. Help start your athlete on their way to gymnastics fun with some style!

Our school age program here at Perfect Balance is about everything we have listed in our Super Starts – it just takes it to the next level in training. Athletes will work on various disciplines every week-some will be a themed week-others may have a stunt of the month, but mostly it is about having a fabulous experience in the gym learning gymnastics.

Training Team

Our developmental program focuses on five factors: Shaping, fundamentals, gymnastics strength, elemental development, and athlete enrichment. This is the very beginning of their gymnastics career, and we want it to be a positive and rewarding experience. From the beginning of our program, we encourage both self discipline and self-motivating factors. We pay strict attention to training groups, training situations, and skill development within the groups and on an individual and team basis.
Developmental gymnastics is for students who are referred by their coach for more advanced training. (Students may only join this class through the office with coach approval).

Gymnastics Team

If you are looking for the best Gymnastics Team program in the Akron/Canton area, we are it! We are the only program to have athletes competing at the National level. Our Compulsory program competes within Region 5 – Ohio, Michigan, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Michigan, while the level 6-10 program travels the country competing in gymnastics competitions. Our athletes have traveled to and competed at some of the largest competitions in the country, garnering much success. The opportunity for our athletes to compete at that level has allowed them to be exposed to college coaches within the gymnastics community.
