This is part of what makes Arctic Gymnastics a strong competitor on the national level.

Arctic Gymnastics has been a part of our lives for over 4 years now when the military moved us to Alaska from Florida where my daughter started competitive gymnastics. We're now Alaskans for life and permanent members of the Arctic family. The coaches, staff, and teammates are the best around. They have taught my daughter so many life lessons that go beyond the gym. She has learned leadership, discipline, confidence, time management, commitment, optimism, patience, teamwork, motivation, resilience, and most importantly failure. Learning how to be resilient and how to bounce back from failure is

Arctic has been a part of our lives for over 16 years. One of my daughters trained there for six years and then returned home every summer to continue training while a gymnast in college. The coaching staff is extremely knowledgeable with the ability to coach athletes at the recreational level through collegiate. In addition to gymnastics instruction the facility offers a great after school program and all-day camps during school closures, open gym periods, and birthday parties.

My two boys have come here for a long time now for both classes and for after school camps, they both went through the preschool program and now have continued into after school camps. It’s a great facility for them to both exert so much energy and have fun. They get picked up at their school, this facility offers great christmas break camps, spring break camps, gymnastics classes for ALL ages and genders. I am grateful to know they are safe, getting exercise, learning, and having a blast!

Absolutely recommend for anyone and everyone. My kids have been coming here since they could barely walk and they are so happy when they get there but so sad and upset when it’s time to leave even after being there ALL day for camp! it’s amazing, great prices and amazing facility to help keep your kids active and safe.

Arctic Gymnastics has taught me so many things in life. The coaches and staff have helped make me a successful collegiate athlete in addition to a well rounded person.

Arctic Gymastics is hands down one of the best organized and well taken care of gyms to bring your children.They have great classes for all ages and awesome coaches, as well as a great preschool program that both of my daughters have gone through ,arctic gymnastics is like a home away from home for me and my girls and that is due to the fact the the owners and all of the staff are all around great people and really set the environment for your children to love learning and feel welcome, you can also rent an area out for different venues and your children can play as they wish (safely of course

Just went recently and the bubble machine was back, as well as kid-fun music and a timer near the trampoline. Most kids and parents ignored the trampoline timer, but still most everyone was good about taking turns (except kids not being directly supervised by their parents/grandparents). Still no toys in big open area, and no sock enforcement. I thought that was a health law??

We love open gym!!!!
I've been bringing my nephews and now my small children to open gym on Fridays mornings the last five years. My experience has been nothing but five stars! You can pay ten dollars to do open gym from 9am-11am or you can buy a punch card for $50 bucks and it has ten visits on it brings it to $5 per visit! Cheapest in town. Lots to play on and they do have a buzzer playing by the tramps that goes off every minute to help remind parents to share and take turns on tramps. As for a comment about the yoga balls not being out to play with... its is clearly posted on the

We love Arctic Gymnastics!!! The family that owns Arctic treats everyone like they are apart of their family. Our daughter is there the better part of the day, and she never wants to leave. Their after school care, gymnastics and home school has been the best we have seen. Thank you for helping our daughter grow into a smart, confidant, amazing little lady. We will continue to spread the word about your amazing family gym!!

This place is organized chaos, but I mean that in a good way. Kids are expected to follow directions and participate to the best of their ability, even down to the Toddler/Parent class.
One large room with several classes going on a once, but they make it work. The best prices I've seen as well with a great military & sibling discount. (I can appreciate the gesture even if I can't use it.)
Teachers are hands on and supportive, I'm a fan!

Absolutely love Arctic Gymnastics. A punch card is $50 for 11 visits, which is a steal. It is cheaper than the indoor jumpers and offers so much more to do. My child does 2 classes a week and loves it. They also offer before/after care, summer camps, and birthday parties. One problem I had when I was working full time is open jump is only from 9AM to 11AM and I was never able to go. Now, a full time mom, we go as often as possible.
