Who We Are:
Motion Gymnastics & Tumbling Center provides a family-friendly place for young people to learn basic gymnastics and tumbling skills that strengthen body awareness and coordination while reinforcing each person’s unique strengths. How We Roll:
Motion athletes learn to work in a group and set individual goals. This enables athletes to work at their own level and pace to build self-confidence. Motion Gymnastics & Tumbling instructors support and encourage young people to improve through repetition and progression. Strength, flexibility, and body awareness are skills that build a strong foundation for any young person as they learn and grow. The progressive nature of the sport helps develop a system of learning that goes beyond the gym to support learning in any form. What We Teach:
Motion Gymnastics & Tumbling Center offers a variety of classes for kids of all ages. The schedule includes Exploratory Movement for Parent/Child and Preschool age, Recreational Developmental Gymnastics, Tumbling, and Adventure Agility Challenge classes. Owner/Instructor: Natalie Kelly-Kimmel
