Flip Out

08/22/2025

**After 14 incredible years, Flip Out is officially closing its doors.**

Cody & I opened Flip Out the same month we got married, August of 2011. We didn't have kids yet; every student in the program was "our kid". We knew someday we'd have a family & we wondered what that would look like as they got older/started school/sports while we taught tumbling every night. It felt decades away.
Our gym grew and our family grew.
Today, we find ourselves crossing the bridge that we once couldn't even imagine.

In addition to the kids and I really wanting Cody to be a part of our evenings, Cody also has a big shoulder surgery coming up. He can't lift more than 15lbs for 6 months..
We never knew what our exit would look like, but the timing is now.

It's time for him to restore his body.
It's time for him to watch his girl run the bases.
It's time for him to coach his son in peewee football. 💛

This journey has been filled with flips, twists, hard work, laughter, and unforgettable memories. We are beyond grateful for every athlete, family member, and supporter who has been part of the Flip Out family.

You all have loved us, allowed us to do what we love, and supported our efforts entirely. We are forever grateful for the opportunity to be a small part of your family's life.

We will officially close August 28th.

They say when you do what you love you won't work a day in your life.. and that's really what it's felt like for many, many years.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for trusting us, training with us, and being a part of the journey.

With love and gratitude,

Cody & Jessi Keys

Help us welcome Britney Chandler to the Flip Out teaching staff!
She will be teaching on Tuesdays in Flip Out Junior. 🤸‍♀️

Britney is a wife, momma, RN, & cookie baker extrodinare!

She has been a part of Flip Out for 15 years. She tumbled here as a kid, and cheered at NEO when we coached there.

She's a beautiful soul & loves children. We are so excited to have her teach with us.

A day in the life of a tumbling teacher....

(The student is working on standing back handsprings. Cody is spotting. It's a bit of a struggle.)

Kid glances at Cody, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

Cody: If you're thinking that you really need to jump harder, then yes, I'm thinking what you're thinking.

Kid acts surprised and says, "I'm thinking pizza sounds so good right now!"

😂😂😂😂😂😂

*a student wasn't tumbling quite as hard as usual*

"What's the matter, sis? Just not feeling it tonight?"
"Well, my legs are really tired because I chased butterflies all day."

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

That's a pretty good use of leg muscles if you ask me! 🦋

⭐ Help me wish Cody Keys a Happy 25 years of being a Tumbling Instructor! ⭐

That's right, he's been at it for over 25 years.
He's taught all ages and skill levels.

After a successful gymnastics journey as an athlete himself, he started teaching in cheer gyms as a teenager. Then he moved to high school & college teams, ran the tumbling program for a school in Stilwell for 8 years, coached NEO Cheer for 5 years, and opened Flip Out in Miami 2011. He's gotten dozens of students to the D1 level. I can't even count how many shows, camps, and competitions he's been a part of. 😆 He really is a stud at all he does!

I've watched him pour his whole self into his students & their families for years. He was born to be an encourager & life of the party.

Happy 25, Cody! 💪

📢 Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Children of all ages.... It's a SHOW TEAM YEAR! 😎

Every other year since 2011 we've put together a traveling team to perform basketball halftimes.

It's time to start thinking about it now- push yourself to learn new skills & perfect current ones.🤸‍♀️ We will have tryouts late summer.

We only take kids who are coachable, work hard, and have positive attitudes!

We can't wait to see what this year's team will be. The growth that happens is always incredible. 💪
