Our 60-minute Gymboys classes are age-based, with a low student-to-teacher ratio, harnessing an athlete’s energy into safe, fun, and productive exercise. Gymboys have been designed to utilize a wide range of gym apparatus, focusing on coordination, balance, strength, and flexibility. Gymboys classes are centered around floor exercises, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars, and horizontal bar, and focus on men’s artistic gymnastics. The benefits of this class will include enhanced physical development and improved self-esteem.
