Parties: What to Expect
Performance Athletics Gymnastics parties are STELLAR! Here’s what to expect:
Confirming Details: Once you make your reservation, our Party Coordinator will be in touch to check on details like how many guests are invited, what color tablecloths/ plates/ napkins you want, if you plan to open gifts here or at home, and tips for what kids should wear. Any add-ons like additional time or photo packages need to be reserved at the time the party is booked.
Tell us: Please be proactive in communicating your needs ahead of time so we can schedule your activities within the time you have reserved. Extra time in the big gym, opening gifts, pinatas, silks, etc. are easy to accommodate but may require adjusting the length of time we usually allot for other activities, or may require purchasing the extended party package to fit everything in. Special requests are subject to availability, so the sooner we know the better we can accommodate you.
At the gym, we do everything from set-up to clean-up so you can bask in the glow of your little Star’s smile!
Set-up & decor: We’ll start setting up your refreshments area and an amazing obstacle course before you even arrive! We provide basic decor in the color of your choice for tablecloths, plates, napkins, and table toppers. If you have a special theme in mind, you’re welcome to supply custom decorations ahead of time for us to put up. Please keep in mind we are a latex-free facility.
Host Arrival: When you arrive, we’ll help you unload your car and set up refreshments. To be as ready as possible for your excited kiddos, we ask that you arrive no more than 15 minutes before your party’s start time.
Guest arrival: Please ask your guests to arrive at your scheduled start time, and have everyone check in at the Office for a quick waiver and name tag before they go play. Children 3yrs and under will need a grown-up helper to assist them. We ask hosting families to remind guests to attend only if healthy.
Getting Ready: Before we start, kids will wash their hands and make sure their attire is ready for action! We ask hosting families to remind their guests to wear movement-friendly clothes with no buttons, snaps, or zippers. Kids will be barefoot in the gym.
1st activity (Rec Room): We start by getting the wiggles out in our Rec Room! We play Birthday-themed games for the older parties, and allow open play on our Preschool equipment for younger groups. This gives us a chance to get to know the kids, celebrate the Birthday Child, and let late-comers join the group without missing any big gym fun!
Photo Op: When we head out to the big gym, we’ll sit down for a photo op so grown-ups can snap a shot of everyone’s smiling faces before we go over how to be safe on our amazing obstacle course on the main floor.
2nd activity (Obstacle course): Our obstacle courses are STELLAR! We design them to be age-appropriate for the Birthday Child, and make sure we have a wide variety of obstacles to keep everyone active and smiling. Our coaches supervise for safety, and cheer the kids on as they bounce, scramble, crawl, and balance with mats, tunnels, springboards, and more.
3rd activity (Trampoline & Pit): After the obstacle course, we move on to our Trampoline and foam pit area. We always talk about how to be safe before letting your child play. Simple things like taking turns, watching out for friends, and where to wait for your turn can keep kids cruising instead of bruising. We know they're excited, so coaches are always there to help things run safely & smoothly.
Refreshments: Bouncing on a full stomach can be uncomfortable, so refreshments are served after big gym time. We’ll have the food & drink you provided set up in our lobby, ready for your guests to self-serve, or we can help serve them- it’s up to you! We love seeing the amazing goodies our families bring. To protect little bare feet, we ask that containers not be glass; for the safety of all our guests, we do not allow alcohol or smoking. Due to common allergies, we ask that refreshments be nut-free.
Party Perks:
In addition to our set-up and clean-up service, if you choose to open gifts here, we’ll help you complete a gift list! Otherwise, we include one for you to use at home. Guests can sign a tee shirt for the Birthday Child to wear, and each guest gets a coupon card to come back for more gymnastics adventures!
Clean-up: Once your scheduled party time has finished, we will happily help you load your car. Don’t worry about cleanup- that’s all part of the service. You pack what you want to keep, and we take care of everything else so you can enjoy the rest of the day with your child.
If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us.

NEW SKILL ALERT: Forward roll dismount & cast-push away dismount on bars!!!
New Skill Alert!!! Shout out to G! She's been with us for a while now, and we've really been working on building her CONFIDENCE!!! This is the first time she's been ok going upside down on the bars without a coach (let alone flipping!), and the first time she's been brave enough to go straight from the bar to the ground without touching the block on the way down. Go, G!!! We're so proud of you!!!
Session recap #5 2024
Session #5 is a wrap! We spent National Fitness Month getting strong, fast, and smiley. Our legs got a workout jumping big for vault. We got our cardio in playing HeartBeat. Our arms are sore from swinging so much on bars. And our cheeks hurt from so many smiles.
We can't wait to celebrate Summer next Session!!!
Session Recap #4 2024
Session #4 is gone and we had some MARVELOUS times! Our Team kids are rocking their way to State Championships, our Preschool-age classes got some serious hang time on the silks and trampolines, and we're pretty sure our Rec kids out-raced and out-bounced the Easter Bunny!

We can't wait to see what shenanigans we get up to next month!

Parent Participation: Get the scoop!
Welcome to Performance Athletics Parent Participation classes! Here’s the scoop:
This is an active class for you to bond with your child so make sure you are BOTH ready for action! For athletes, please no buttons, snaps, zippers or jewelry, and expect to be barefoot for class. Clothing should be movement-friendly, should fit well to avoid wardrobe malfunctions, and tops should be able to keep the belly covered during activity.
For grown-ups, clothing & shoes should be activity-friendly so you can keep up with your child. Be sure to empty your pockets, and bring a water bottle! Please keep all food & drink in the lobby.
Everyone has a job in our Parent Participation classes! Coaches monitor the group & show parents ways to assist their child for maximum learning. Kids have a blast exploring the gym & following instructions from Coaches & Parents. Parents help their children follow instructions for safety and success, and celebrate every victory with gusto!
Parent-child interaction is a key part of these classes.
We ask that parents actively assist their child throughout the class. If YOU’d like to get in a workout, please ask about the Adult programs. If you’d like to network with other parents, our lobby is the perfect place to do so before or after class. And if you’d like to capture occasional moments, bring out that cellphone for a quick snap before disconnecting to make the most of every moment in the gym with your child.
In case of illness, we are happy to reschedule you once everyone in your home is in good health. Please only attend if everyone in your home has been healthy for 48 hours. Our families and staff thank you for helping to keep everyone feeling fabulous.
Performance Athletics Gymnastics Parent Participation Classes are where it’s AT! So bring your kiddos in and help them learn all the skills needed to play hard safely so you can breathe easy.

5 Reasons Parents Love Preschool Gymnastics!
"Gymnastics for Preschoolers?! But they're too little to do flips!" Don't worry- we save the backflips for the big kids. Gymnastics skills are like a puzzle- you need to have all the pieces before you can put together the whole picture. So we start our littlest Stars with the basics- crawling, walking, running, jumping, spinning, landing, climbing, and many other ways to instill concepts for later skills, and physical readiness for life.

Why YOU should choose PAgym (hint: YOU're the star!)
Just about every gym will tell you that gymnastics builds strength, flexibility, coordination, etc. And that's true. But what most gyms don't tell you is what their culture is like. At Performance Athletics culture is key. So we'll let all those other guys tell you about growing healthy bodies, and say this for ourselves: We grow the WHOLE YOU.
