Saratoga Springers specializes in tumbling and cheerleading instruction for boys and girls ages 2 and up. Saratoga Springers was founded in 2010, and since then has helped over 1000 students learn and master their tumbling skills, prepare for dance tryouts, cheerleading tryouts, and even audition for musical theater!
The owner and director, Kara Buckner, has been tumbling for 28 years, was a cheerleader for 4 years, and has coached tumbling and cheerleading in Saratoga Springs since 2007. Our team of coaches are previous and current cheerleaders, drill team, and dance company members. We believe that the best way to teach are by hands-on instruction and physical demonstration.

This class focuses on the basics of tumbling for children ages 2 to 4 years old. It is a great way to start your child's love of movement without the guidance of a parent. Tumbling Tots focuses on listening and learning in a group environment. Skills learned in this class are: headstands, handstands, backbends, somersaults and cartwheels.
With the aid of the bungee rope, impact on your joints, tendons, and muscles are much less than an aerobic fitness class like High-Fit, HIIT, Crossfit, or kick-boxing. We do incorporate high-intensity movements, but you'll be surprised at what you can do with the aid of a bungee! Yes, we only have 7 ropes per class.

My kids have been going to Saratoga springers for coming up on 2 years. I had my daughter in other studios that may have gotten results but left my daughter with confidence issues. We moved to train her with coach Kara and everything turned around. She absolutely loves to be here. They kept pushing her until she finally got her back handspring and now roundoff back handspring. It has been a great experience. Grumbling is meant to be fun and full of learning and I strongly feel this is what coach Kara offers.

Overall, I'm just really underwhelmed with this place. The building is nice and the equipment is clean and well taken care of. That is the upside. But as for the classes, they're kind of a mess. The main teacher, Kara, is hardly ever there. She has a bunch of teenage girls teaching the classes, which would be fine, but they never seem to know what they're doing. They just kind of wing it as they go, and the class gets chaotic and crazy. Granted, my daughter is in the 2-4 year-old's class, so it can be a bit chaotic anyway. But the lack of guidance doesn't help. And the class seems to be too large

I have been following Saratoga Springers for years and would definitely recommend it! I took classes there as a pre-teen and my siblings (6, 9, 12) have been taking her classes since they were toddlers and love going to tumbling class! The studio itself is very clean, and has great equipment. What really makes Saratoga Springers unique is the owner and her staff. Kara is passionate and so patient with the little ones. They are great with all age groups keeping classes fun and engaging while still helping them learn a ton. They do a great job balancing the learning rate of different kids in the

This place is such a disappointment! There's a ridiculously strong spirit of negativity & catty competition. Registration is so unbelievably disorganized - I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry! You stand outside in a line for hours (we even got there 30 minutes early!). For us, we were the first to be put on the waitlist... The reward for all the time spent waiting? A massive email goes out to everyone on the waitlist at the same time. Whoever responds the fastest gets a spot. (Sign-up genius...please learn it!) I will not support a business that proudly disrespects its clients & their time, &

Our kids have taken tumbling and cheer from Kara Barney for years. She and her staff are loving, kind, encouraging pros that have taught our kids so much more than tumbling. I highly recommend this gym to anyone that is looking for a coach that will push your kids to accomplish their goals, (whether they are interested in making a cheer team or just learning a back handspring) while building confidence and strength. I could not recommend them enough!

Our daughter has been a Saratoga Springer for over a year now, and she loves it! She is only 5, but she has progressed in her tumbling and gymnastic skills so much in the last year--and we look forward to continuing to see her progress. Kara and her team are committed to providing each student with the attention and coaching they need as an individual.
Also, we are super excited about the new location at the Crossroads. Thanks, Saratoga Springers!
