Lakeshore Academy is home to gymnastics classes and programs for people of all ages. Gymnastics is a wonderful way to develop coordination and motor skills for younger children, and it is an excellent way to build strength, flexibility, and balance for everyone. We focus on maintaining a fun, encouraging atmosphere and helping our students achieve above and beyond expectations.
This class focuses on basic gymnastics and motor skills, as well as socialization and listening skills. Much like the baby class, the parent tot program focuses on developing strength, spatial awareness, and social skills. You are invited to participate as your child develops trust and independence in a fun and safe environment, learning the basic skills and vocabulary of gymnastics.
Lakeshore Academy has had the leading preschool gymnastics program in Chicago for over thirty years. Our preschool classes are incredibly popular and a great way to develop and focus your child's natural energy. In our fun and engaging classes we will help your child develop the strength, flexibility, and coordination necessary not only for gymnastics, but for all sports.
Our kindergarten classes are exciting, focused, and a great way for your child to get some extra physical activity after a long day of school. These classes are great for new students and those more familiar with our program. This class develops the basic gymnastics techniques that are the foundation of all successful gymnasts.
Our recreational program is for children ages 6.5 to 12 years old. These classes are great as a continuation of your boy's gymnastics career, a supplement to other sports, or for the very beginner. While the flexibility, strength, and coordination developed in these classes are specific to gymnastics, the skills are important for everyone at such a critical age.

If I could give less than a star I would. I have been with them for over a two years. They shut down for COVID which I understand. Once classes began opening up my daughters class still is not open. They said that the Club and Teams had that time. It is obvious that they do not want your business if you are not a Club or a Team kid. She is 6 and we are trying to get her to gain more skills, however they only care about the ones they have. I even called and the woman on the phone never even said no we do care about your kid. They just said in a snotty tone "Ok here is your 40$ back

My last review has been conviently deleted. This academy is ran as a overpriced babysitting machine. The coaches are never consistent and therefore the girls can never have growth to keep practicing on their skills. There are over 21 kids in this class on Wednesday nights and tonight there are three “coaches”. One coach just stands there and nods his head, one coach looks around the gym and stares at her feet, the other coach bounces between the “team” girls and this group. The hour in a half class has 15 minutes left and they are doing handstands!!! Go somewhere else

Out of concern for others' children, be careful with this studio. There are many wonderful coaches, but sprinkled in are negligent coaches. It only takes a bad seed to make a bad crop. There is not enough oversight or management of processes and theory to maintain a professional business. The results are injuries to the students and money that is spent without results. Be safe!

My daughter has a blast at the Patent & Tot class at Lakeshore Academy in Mount Prospect! The instructors do a really great job keeping the kids interested and there are tons of different equipment/stations that the kids are able to use. Keep this place in mind the next time you're looking for a way for your kiddo to burn off some energy!
