We offer individualized instruction in Developmental Gymnastics, Movement Education, Tumbling, Trampoline and Traditional Gymnastics. It's never too early to improve your child's balance, flexibility, and confidence. Our Instruction begins around the time children begin to crawl or walk, and can continue throughout high school or college.
For over 20 years, Becki Weathers, known to all as Ms. Becki, has owned, managed, and taught at the Palaestra. It formed as a social community; a place for her daughters to not only train and learn gymnastics but to grow and learn life lessons as well. The class, "Becki's Babies" refers to our youngest gymnasts, from crawling to three years old.

Services
We have been coming to the Palaestra for 12 years. This is my daughter's home away from home. Ask them where they want to be on their time off and you will hear: Gym! The minute you walk in the door you feel welcome. The staff is top notch and well respected. We have been involved in Becki's babies, rec classes, open gym, masquerade balls at Halloween, birthday parties and team.
Recreational gymnastics classes are for children 7 years and up who are beginners in the sport of gymnastics or participate in gymnastics for the love of movement & exercise. Team gymnastics is for those athletes who want to be competitive in the sport of Trampoline & Tumbling, Women's Gymnastics or Men's Gymnastics.
The Palaestra Sparks Trampoline & Tumbling program involves individual commitment and extended workout times for the competition teams. If you have an interest in trampoline and power tumbling this just might be the place for you. The Palaestra Sparks Women's Artistic program involves individual commitment and extended workout times for the competition teams.
Adult Gymnastics classes are for those over 18 years of age who want to participate in recreational gymnastics and want to get a workout in the process.

Excellent, professional and caring. We’ve had 5 of our kids attending classes at the Palaestra over the past 4 years. One of our daughters is in her third year on their Tumbling and Trampoline team. Before this we attended 3 other gyms. Ms. Becki, the owner, has a professional and stable staff that truly knows their athletes and cares about their health- body, mind, and spirit. With Covid, Tumbling and Trampoline Team had been one of the few activities we’ve been able to continue. Because of their care in keeping a healthy environment we’ve been able to continue training and not felt at increased

I wish I had been deterred by the existing poor reviews for Palaestra - but I went ahead because it was a convenient location for my kids to go to after school. While I understand some rules have to be in place for covid, I cannot send my kids to a facility that won’t let them use the restroom. Not only that, my kids and nanny reported that the “lady who takes their temperature” was very rude in front of other people and did not let them use the restroom if they got there more than 5 minutes before class. A 3 year old does not have the bladder control of an adult. We go to 3 other classes

This review is solely based on a birthday party experience. We don't have a kiddo at gymnastics here or any sort of regular attendance.
Note the location and look at the pics I uploaded. It's located in a sort of warehouse / industrial area. It'd be easy to miss if you weren't paying attention. We were also told not to park at the place next door or we'd be towed - FYI...
Today we attended a birthday party for a 4-year old at this place. It was an hour and a half of "open gym" time followed by... almost an hour, I think, of birthday cake and festivities time. Not only did the kids have a blast

My 18 month old and I have been coming here every week for the past 5 months and we are so glad we found this place. Everything is really clean and the staff is so welcoming and friendly! We have not signed up for any classes YET but definitely plan on doing so in the future! Open play fridays is a great way for kids to get some exercise in specially when the playgrounds aren't too convenient due to weather.
