A class designed to introduce babies to different sounds and movements. We create an environment that helps them to become comfortable with different faces and voices. These activities help little ones start to build a tolerance to sounds and changes, which leads to better sleeping. (Can’t go wrong there!). We utilize music, bells, hoops, and vivid colors to stimulate the infants.

The activities in this class have a broader focus on movement and motor skills. Coordination & balance take on a greater role in these classes. This class continues the Crawling Caterpillars goal of supporting the development of a social network. We utilize music, bells, hoops, and vivid colors to stimulate the infants. In this class kids will begin to explore the pres-school floor and bars obstacles.

Class activities encourage children to see outside of their own environment as they parallel play. Parents play a very physical role helping their child learn new positions and activities. We also discover our independence by building confidence and self-awareness through special “by myself” activities. Activities at this age are focused on early cognitive development. Children are introduced to some basic gymnastics skills on the balance beam (kick, dip, and hop) bars (open, close and holding on tight). All activities are explored through creative games such as taking a pretend trip to the zoo and other exotic places.

Children are introduced to the concept of separation as a part of their lives. Parents become more of a verbal presence than a physical. While enjoying all this fun we also try to work on taking our turn and remembering our listening ears to foster socialization. We continue to introduce the concept of independence, building confidence and self-awareness through special “kids only” activities. Activities include basic gymnastics skills on the balance beam (kick, dip, and hop) bars (peek a boo, open/close and holding on tight).

This class focuses on children’s activities to foster independent work and as an introduction to separation and setting limits for themselves. Children are encouraged to take direction during activities rather than visually mimicking activities. We also explore our independence, building confidence and self-awareness through special “by myself” activities. Activities include basic gymnastics skills on the balance beam (kick, dip, and hop), bars (open/close, chin up, front support).

This class focuses on combining more advanced gymnastic skills, while continuing to utilize the foundation built on the balance beam (kicking, dipping, and hopping) and bars (open close, swinging, pullovers) vault (jump one-two feet on spring board). We continue to explore our independence; building confidence and self-awareness, with a greater focus on students setting their own goals and “practicing” independently.  We also practice waiting our turn and learning from others.

This class helps to ease the transition from our Tumbling Tigers class to our K/1^st class. We take advantage of a 7:1 student to teacher ratio to keep our groups small and comfortable. This small setting starts right from the warm-up, where kids learn a choreographed warm-up dance that they will perform at our Showcases. We utilize equipment in both the preschool and recreational sides of the gym to build the children’s gymnastics skills and confidence.

Red/Orange: Gymnasts will work on body positions (tuck, straddle, pike), forward/ backwards rolls, bridges, and handstands on floor, front support and casts on bars, walks and holds on beam, and straight jumps and running and punching drills on vault.

Yellow/Green Working on handstand forward rolls, bridge kick overs and back walkovers on floor, pullovers and dismounts on bars, turns and jumps on beam & handstand flat backs on the vault mat.

Blue/Purple Gymnasts will work on back and front handsprings on floor, handstands and cartwheels on beam, squat ons and high bar hangs on bars, and handstand flat back on vault table.

Rec Stars is our in house recreational gymnastics team.  It is a great program for gymnasts who want a little more from gymnastics without the commitment that a team program requires, or a great stepping stone for gymnasts who are interested in out competitive programs but are not quite ready an invite group.

Rec Stars practice two days a week.  During their 90 minute Rec Star class, gymnasts will learn routines on floor, beam, bars and vault.  Gymnasts are also required to attend a rec class once a week so that they can work on new skills and improve on old ones (this also allows them to stay in class with friends who may not be joining Rec Stars).  In December and May Rec Stars will participate in our in house meet along with Hot Shots and Shooting Stars.  Our in house meet differs from our Winter and Spring Showcase in that at the meet we follow Georgia Gym Stars rules and regulations, and gymnasts will receive scores from Gym Stars judges

This is an adult-assisted class in which we will play and learn about basketball, soccer, t-ball, tennis, and gymnastics using fun games and activities. We transition from activity to activity quickly, keeping the children focused and engaged. Children will practice basic sports skills, coordination, and fundamentals while having a great time.

We will develop basic skills associated with various sports. The children are taught in a fun, recreational, and non-competitive atmosphere. Each class is filled with a variety of age appropriate and hands on learning experiences.

This class is a combination of J-Fit Sports and Leaping Lemurs. 30 minutes is spent learning the basics of  a variety of sports while the other 30 minutes is spent learning the basics of gymnastics.

We step up the games and activities used in the 3/4’s to keep up with growing abilities and energy.  More advanced exercises are employed to develop basic sports skills such as throwing and kicking with accuracy, catching, and passing – building upon rudimentary skills learned.  J-Fit Sports provides excellent preparation for team sports.

*Developing a strong core at young age provides long term benefits, like better posture which studies show that having good posture leads to more attentiveness and reading in the classroom.

*Exercise can also be an outlet for anxiety and different sensory issues young child may have.

*As we get older we continue to develop the social, emotional and physical skills acquired in our younger classes through different and more challenging exercises.

*J-Fit gives your children a fun environment to challenge them selves and be around their peers whether its from the same school or a different county.

*Our teens can develop a strong core as well, using plyometrics and various exercises, we continue to gain strength and flexibility.

*Its never too late to work on your core, as adults a strong core can make every day actions easier on the body; lifting up your child and carrying them around, loading groceries, or just sitting at your desk at work.

In our beginner silks classes aerialists will work to build upper body and core strength, learn to mount and dismount a sling, learn beginner wraps and knots as well as climbing and introductory series and sequences.

In our intermediate silks classes aerialists will build upon the skills they learned in our beginner class, while progressing on to learn more advance aerial moves and sequences.

Students enrolled in our silks classes (beginner or intermediate) are permitted to attend our open silks class on a drop in basis.  This is an opportunity for aerialists to get some extra supervised time on the silks to work on the skills they learned in class.

Acrobats will work together to master acro, tumbling and dance skills as well as a group routine.  Our acro classes typically perform twice a year at our December and May showcases.
