This project was one of our favorites. A blank canvas of 33,000 square feet that metamorphosized into the most incredible gym in the USA. Pacitic Reign didn't leave any details out when they envisioned what they wanted and after we designed, supplied and installed their dream, the results were amazing.
Congratulations Pacific Reign in Lynnwood, WA!

23 days. 33,000 sqft of training space (for Phase 1). One incredible transformation!

We arrived at Pacific Reign Gymnastics in Lynnwood, WA on August 5 to a blank slate—and left August 28 with what we believe is one of the premier gymnastics training facilities in the country!

Women’s gymnastics. Men’s gymnastics. In-ground trampolines. Tumbling tramps. Loose foam pits. Resi pits. Equipment from AAI, SPIETH, GYMNOVA, Taishan and more.

And this is only Phase 1.

Take a walk through the new Pacific Reign competitive training facility. 👀🤸

🤖 Can ChatGPT or Claude pick the BEST U.S. men’s World Championships team?

Watch Andy's Angle here:
https://hubs.ly/Q04skYk80

Andy put the Day 1 results from the U.S. Championships into both AI models and asked them to build the strongest possible five-man team — then took the special difficulty bonuses out of the equation to see what changed.

But numbers don’t tell the whole story.

Andy also broke down:
🇺🇸 The World Team contenders
🐴 Stephen Nedoroscik, Patrick Hoopes & Brandon Dang on pommel horse
💪 Yul Moldauer’s chances
🔥 What Kamaron Nelson needs to do
👀 Why Shane Wiskus and Taylor Burkhart may have been severely underscored on high bar

So… who built the better team: ChatGPT or Claude?

Watch the full breakdown and let us know YOUR five-man World Team in the comments.

🤸 Is your gymnast—and your gym—ready for the fall rush?

Summer is the ideal time to take care of worn personal equipment, routine repairs, and pit maintenance before fall classes and team practices ramp up.

✅ Replace stretched or worn grips and wrist supports
✅ Inspect frequently worn equipment parts
✅ Replenish pit foam that is low, packed down, or deteriorating

Back-to-gym season is right around the corner — is your facility ready?

Summer is a great time for gymnastics gyms to inspect high-use equipment, replace worn parts, and refresh the areas that take the most abuse throughout the year.

Before fall classes and team workouts ramp back up, take a few minutes to check items like:

✅ Spin locks & snap locks on all apparatus
✅ Vault board springs
✅ Cable tighteners, rollers & wear plates
✅ Bar cables
✅ Missing floor exercise springs
✅ Cracks or chips in rings
✅ Cracked or chipped uneven bar rails
✅ Pit cubes
✅ Foam fillers in your mats
✅ Trampoline beds

Also, carpet bonded foam prices are scheduled to increase on July 1, so now is a great time to lock in current pricing if you have been planning a replacement, repair, or facility refresh.

We put together a quick Back-to-Gym Readiness newsletter with reminders and product links to help you get your gym ready before the fall rush.

Project Spotlight: ClimbZone Philadelphia 🧗‍♂️

We recently completed a custom carpet bonded foam installation for ClimbZone Philadelphia, an indoor kids climbing and family entertainment center filled with creative themed climbing attractions.

ClimbZone needed carpet bonded foam installed around the base of their climbing walls, along with beveled edges to create smoother, safer transitions throughout the facility.

Beveling long 42’ runs of carpet bonded foam is a slow, technical process that requires patience, accuracy, and experience. Our Installation Manager, Jason Heartsfield, led the project and delivered clean, consistent results using a Demand Groove Jet tool to help create precise cuts over long stretches of foam.

The finished result created a safer, cleaner, and more professional surface around ClimbZone’s unique climbing attractions — and the client was very happy with the outcome.

If you’re ever in the Philadelphia area, ClimbZone is definitely a place worth bringing the family!

Foam Prices Are Rising. Is It Time to Upgrade Your Pit?

Foam is a petroleum-based product, and recent volatility in oil and petrochemical markets is putting pressure on foam pricing. For gymnastics facilities, that means replacing or refreshing loose foam pits may become more expensive than expected.

That makes this a great time to evaluate a custom gymnastics AirBag as a long-term solution.

At American Gymnast, we don’t sell generic inflatable products and try to make them fit gymnastics. Our AirBags are designed specifically for gymnastics training facilities, with features such as:

✅ Custom sizes and shapes
✅ Options for existing pit replacements
✅ Column and truss cutouts
✅ Top-side pressure control
✅ Visual and audible pressure alarm system
✅ Durable PVC construction
✅ Optional foam topper for a softer landing surface
✅ Portable and in-ground options
✅ Gymnastics-specific design guidance from people who understand the sport

Whether you are building a new gym, replacing an aging loose foam pit, or trying to reduce long-term foam maintenance, we can help you determine whether a custom AirBag makes sense for your space.

We’re excited to share a recent project with the Park District of Highland Park.
American Gymnast worked with their team from the early planning stages through final installation to help design a brand-new gymnastics facility that supports preschool, recreational, and competitive girls gymnastics.
The facility includes AAI competitive equipment, an in-ground trampoline, tumbling strip, rod floor, vault and single bar trainer into a loose foam pit, a dedicated preschool area, and a rock climbing wall.
This project is a great example of how thoughtful facility planning can help a gymnastics program grow, serve more athletes, and create a better training environment for coaches and students.
