Gymnastics, parkour and movement classes that help children (and adults) build strength, coordination, confidence and a lifelong love of being active.
We believe gymnastics is a springboard for every child’s athletic journey. Through gymnastics and movement, we help children build strength, flexibility, coordination, confidence and resilience — giving them the fundamental movement skills and strong foundation they need to succeed in any sport and stay active for life.
Bachelor of Exercise Physiology
(Sport Performance major)
Gabriel began gymnastics at 5 years old and competed at the national level in Canada until the age of 15. At 16, he transitioned into athletics and, within just two years, became a world-class athlete.
The strength, coordination, body awareness, discipline and movement skills developed through gymnastics provided a strong foundation for his athletic success. These skills have continued to influence Gabriel’s approach to fitness, coaching and movement today.
With over 10 years of experience coaching boys’ gymnastics — from beginners and recreational gymnasts to national-level MAG athletes — Gabriel brings both practical expertise and academic knowledge of human movement and athletic development to every class.
Real classes, real progress, real smiles.
Every Movement Literacy class is built on these 24 core shapes — the building blocks of strength, control and safe movement.
From Pencil and Star to Candle Stick and Grand Bridge — students learn these shapes progressively, giving them the body awareness and technical foundation they need to succeed in gymnastics and any sport.
From toddlers exploring movement with a parent to adults discovering gymnastics for the first time.
A fun 30-minute movement class where children explore what their bodies can do alongside a parent or caregiver. We start with a warm-up together, then move through a circuit of jumping, rolling, climbing, balancing and exploring different textures and equipment.
Focus: Motor skill development, balance, safe exploration & parent-child bonding. Minimal instructions — maximum discovery and fun!
Introduce your little one to the joy of movement! Fun games and creative circuits teach fundamental body shapes, coordination and control. Kids learn how to jump, fall safely, roll, hang and play — while developing social skills like taking turns and listening.
Focus: Basic body awareness, safe falling/rolling, physical confidence & group interaction.
Our Level 1 program transitions young athletes into a structured gymnastics environment. Students learn the 24 fundamental gymnastics body shapes and master essential movements including forward & backward rolls, handstands and cartwheels. Perfect blend of technique, discipline and fun.
Focus: 24 core body shapes, foundational skills, posture & spatial awareness. Beginner-friendly.
Ready to take skill development to the next level? Level 2 introduces targeted strength and mobility training. Students master dynamic movements like round-offs, kick-overs and front walkovers while building the physical power needed for clean execution.
Focus: Dynamic skill execution, core strength, flexibility & conditioning. Prerequisite: Level 1 or coach assessment.
Turn everyday obstacles into a playground! High-energy coaching teaches kids how to run, vault, flip and land safely. Whether a complete beginner or already vaulting the couch at home, we teach proper technique and progression in a safe, foam-padded environment.
What they’ll learn: Vaulting, precision jumping, safe landing/rolling, wall-running & fluid movement flow.
It’s never too late to learn gymnastics! Whether you’re a total beginner wanting your first handstand, a former gymnast looking to regain skills, or seeking an unbeatable functional workout — this class offers an inclusive, supportive environment tailored to your goals.
Focus: Core strength, flexibility, handstands, acrobatic basics & personalised progression. All experience levels welcome.
