ALL children benefit from classes at Power in Motion. You've already done some wonderful parenting by getting your child interested in this educational sport — many of the benefits aren't about gymnastics skills at all, but about development that helps kids become better students and young adults. We recommend staying with gymnastics for 3–5 years or more to fully benefit from what it has to teach.
Self-Confidence
Skills are broken into small steps. As kids take these steps and learn, they build confidence that carries over into schoolwork and other sports.
Coordination
Instruction develops coordination and body movement — especially valuable for young children whose world is largely physical rather than mental.
The Non-Star Athlete
An active, healthy life doesn't require elite sports skills — just confidence in learning physical skills. Gymnastics builds that foundation for any sport.
Hard Work Ethic
No one can give your child a skill — they have to earn it. Kids learn that effort leads to results, building self-esteem through real achievement.
Flexibility
Gymnastics develops flexibility better than almost any other activity, which also helps limit injuries across other sports.
Social Skills
Especially for younger kids, class is a weekly opportunity to practice listening, taking turns, following directions, and respecting others.
Discipline
Gym rules keep students safe and help them learn — thriving within that structure benefits kids well beyond the gym.
Politeness
Teachers are positive and polite, and expect the same in return — reinforcing respectful behavior toward instructors and peers.
Fitness
An active life starts with kids who feel successful moving their bodies. Gymnastics makes fitness fun rather than a chore.
Courage
We present 'attainable challenges' so kids learn to face fear and succeed — building trust in their own ability to try new things.
Determination
Some skills take real repetition to master. Our gym is padded wall-to-wall because we expect falls — and we want kids to get back up and try again.
Performing In Front of Others
Students perform in front of the class regularly, building comfort with being watched — a skill that carries into public speaking and beyond.
Strength & Power
Lifting and moving the body on bars, rings, and floor builds real strength, combining with flexibility and courage to create a complete athlete.
Caring Teachers
Our instructors are hired and retained because they genuinely care about every student's success.
Great Parenting
You've done a great job as a parent by having your children involved in gymnastics. Keep them with us as long as possible so they can learn all that gymnastics has to teach. Many of our preschool students learn the basics of sport before ever stepping onto a playing field. As they grow, many come back to us because they love gymnastics and want to stay in shape — and some go on to become accomplished gymnasts at Power in Motion.
Whatever the dream, Power in Motion can help you and your children achieve it.
