2 months through 9 months! We are proud to announce we are now offering a new and exciting program for infants as young as 2 months! It is a 30 minute parent involvement class. This introductory class is geared to helping your infant develop their nervous system from naturally releasing their primary reflexes, which will in turn help them later on when developing: Posture & balance, Gross & fine motor coordination, Visual & auditory processing, Cognition & language. Brain priming movements help transition the infant from using their primary reflexes to movement exploration. Our new program is to help infants learn to use movement exploration through tactile stimulation, visual tracking, balance, eye & hand coordination, their auditory senses and all while having social interaction with their peers. We can give your infant the building blocks that will help them develop their nervous system for higher learning. In addition to the physical development this class can bring your infant, it also gives you and your baby a chance for some fun bonding!

Two events of the class are conducted in the StarBurst gym and the other two events are taught in the Rising Star gym preparing them for their grand promotion into the Rising Star Program.
Some experts say that the greatest benefits of gymnastics training for children are the physical: the amazing power, the unparalleled balance, and injury preventing agility and grace. Other experts say that the benefits are to the mind: the perseverance, the poise, the confidence, the attention to detail, the concentration. Which is right? Our experts know. The answer is, without a doubt, both. In fact, professional gymnastics training is a requisite for all kids who want to learn how to become the best they can be in life. Sound gymnastics training is for all kids.
ur Rising Star program is based on the USAG Jr. Olympic Program as well as at least 30 years of experience teaching gymnastics to kids. This program is designed to provide a non-competitive, achievement-oriented program of progressive skills, conditioning and flexibility. Evaluation and Documentation: Each student will receive an appropriate skill Star Chart to place on their bedroom wall so progress can be easily tracked at home. When the skills have been successfully completed, the student will receive stars to take home and place on their Star Chart.
We use school grade to determine your child's class time. Considering each child's experience and skill level we subdivide each class into logical training groups. This approach offers both an excellent training situation for the kids, plus a carpooling opportunity for you. Also, it allows us to be more flexible regarding personal scheduling problems. Please let us know if we can help in that regard.
Girls should wear a leotard. Boys should wear a T-shirt and gym shorts. Warm-up suits or sweats are fine for cooler weather. They should be bare footed during class.
No lose or baggy clothing; No food or drinks in the gym; No jewelry; Please leave valuables at home; No gum in the facility.
In our Tumbling & Trampoline program we break down every skill into manageable increments, enhancing safety and making learning easier and more fun.
These classes are designed for school aged children and is a must have for the backyard trampoline enthusiast, the cheerleader, or the child who wants to move into any sport that requires aerial awareness. The curriculum is based off of the USASF Levels 1-5. Level 1 is taught in the beginning class including cartwheels, handstands, back walkovers, front walkovers and back hand spring preparation. Our intermediate class teaches levels 2-3 which will include learning back handsprings, round off back handsprings, back tucks and front tucks. In Advanced tumbling you will learn the level 4-5 skills. Included are layouts, standing tucks, fulls and double fulls.
Girls should wear a leotard. Boys should wear a T-shirt and gym shorts. Warm-up suits or sweats are fine for cooler weather. They should be bare footed.
Additionally, spatial awareness is considered one of the eight intelligences and has been linked to enhanced cognitive development.
Unlike so many children's activities, when tumbling and on trampoline, children eagerly sustain an activity level that leads to genuine fitness including: cardiovascular health, leg and core strength, calorie burning and weight loss.
This compresses every cell in the body helping the lymph and other circulatory systems eliminate toxins from the body.
the vestibular system, optical tracking and peripheral vision, fear management, concentration and attention to detail, and so much more.
Gymnastics based movement and development classes for Preschool aged children 2 months to age 5.
Our Developmental program is designed to nurture the natural abilities of talented gymnasts who are not yet ready for a competitive gymnastics program.
GymStars' artistic gymnastics program encompasses all levels of competition. Offering level 2 comulsory team all the way to level 10 optional team.
By Debra Em Wilson, MA, Reading Specialist With the sport of gymnastics now on video games, children may think they are experiencing the wonder of gymnastics from a two dimensional TV screen, but what does a gymnastics club have that the boxed video version lacks? Of course there are the obvious answers. Real people. Real hands full of chalk. Real precarious landings. Real twists and flips. The brain wires for learning through whole body movement that video games cannot begin to replicate.
Any time a child participates in activities requiring the movement of large muscles and the compression of joints, this is referred to as heavy work. Heavy work is a term used in the therapy world to describe the types of activities that help focus the brain. The number one prescription for children who need to improve focus control is exercise that includes heavy work activities. Dr. John Ratey, author of Sparks, calls exercise "Miracle-Gro" for the brain. Vaulting, hanging, flipping, climbing, and leaping are examples of phenomenal heavy work opportunities for children. Focusing with ease leads to learning with ease. Gymnastics not only improves focus but also builds the foundation for academic skills like reading and writing.
Our teachers are specially selected and trained to safely bring out the best in each child by encouraging each child to exceed their perceived limitations. It is our very special teachers who have made GymStars the place for kids to be!
system provides our students with incentives and rewards for learning new skills. In addition, it provides the students and parents with a tool to track their achievements. Students receive a "Star Chart" poster, for each level in our Elite Cheer program. We test and record the progress of our students every day. Approximately every 12 weeks, the students receive their stars with instructions of where to place the stars on their Star Chart. The Stars represent skills passed. This week is called Star Reward Week. Students are promoted to the next level once they have completed their chart. At this time, they will receive their new Star Char and are awarded with a certificate of achievement and a medal.
Our Cheer curriculum is based on the USASF All Star Cheer Program as well as at least 25 years of combined experience teaching cheer to kids. The U.S. All Star Federation (USASF) is an organization set up to govern and regulate the sport of Cheer in the World. We use their levels as our basis, and then designed our program to provide a learning environment that is FUN.
No doubt about it With many of the same benefits of gymnastics and dance plus a unique team element, cheerleading has developed into a challenging and exciting sport!

Learning Karate is like learning how to live. It teaches you patience, and how to compete with yourself. It teaches you how to win a conflict without fighting. This is known as the "Wiseman's Art". You learn how to defend yourself when you have no choice. With the unpredictability of the community and the new stresses of peer pressure on your young children, Karate gives them the tools to handle all of these issues and maintain their own place with the confident mind developed in Goju Ryu Uchiage Kai Karate.
Role Modeling, Confidence, Respect, Discipline, Positive Attitude, Sharing, How to win conflict without conflict, Desire to be the best you can be.
Strength, Flexibility, Stamina, Alertness, Focused, Energy.

Develops balance in mind and body working with others and developing the physical ability to set your proper foundation to deliver the power of Karate at an instant.
Timing develops in the body and in the mind as the openings to our opponent's weaknesses as well as recognizing your opponent's strengths.
We have developed National, International, Pan-American, and World Class athletes who have represented the United States all over the world. GOJU means hard soft style of Karate. We use the hard style of Okinawan/Japanese straight line linear angles in fighting and the soft style angels of redirection and the yielding of Chinese Kempo. We offer classes for ages of 3 to 16.

Superhero Training Class ties fantastical elements of fantasy through superheroes with real world social and personal development blending physical activity and ideals of citizenship to shape children into the real heroes of the future. The program is rooted in gymnastics skills and social development. The goal of the program is to teach children to behave like superheroes both physically and mentally. While strengthening and training their bodies they will equally learn the ideals of what it means to save the day, come to the rescue, serve as an inspiration to others, etc.
Children love superheroes! We find the children enrolling into Superhero Training Classes usually do not thrive in the regular programs. This is mostly attributed to a lack of social development for the children. Things like taking turns, following directions, lining up are covered in the regular programs, but not all children are receptive to the delivery. In the Superhero classes, the structure is both more fast paced and exciting and those same social skills are tied into something the children are interested in which increases their retention and allows them to develop socially. There is a strong focus on self-esteem and positive thinking.
This class is available to both boys and girls ages 3 and up.
Time: 4:45 pm-5:30 pm; Age: 4 - 5; Openings: 1; Instructors: Dewayne D.

As a mom that has had all my kiddos attend GymStars , and now a an employee approaching 3 years, I will say there is no better company out there locally invested in fun and growth for your kids, as well as an understanding and nurturing work environment. I fell in love with the entire team from the moment my oldest (now 14) started baby classes, and eventually progressed into dance, with her siblings following suit. If you have not been in to meet Felicia (the Gm) you are missing out. They are so spirited and excited to talk to anyone stopping in, and always have fun stuff going on!

Services- 4 stars (1 star for the youngings gymnastics because teacher just stands around, the older ones get the profesional training)Staff- 3 starsCustomer Service-1Overall-2 starsThis place has changed a lot. When I first started I received sweet customer service. As the years went by I noticed the front desk ladies were never really kind. Especially Casey. I don't know why but ever since she came on board I've been feeling discriminated. Hate to bring the race card but what else could it be. Casey's attitude towards me is very different than when a white person is talking to her. Im not blind. I have never seen a Latina working in this gym. No one is bilingual. The puzzle came together. I mean you work a front desk position, customer service is vital smh. Who ever is doing the hiring that's the real racist here. The right word might be prejudice- against Latinos. After different occasions of bad service this was what topped it off; They forgot my daughters name on the summer recital shirt and not one apology was given when I picked up the corrected shirts. They gave a Fck about our families feelings. It's sad that my kids enjoy this place because I will have to look for a new place for them to attend and not this place that has terrible customer service. Honestly the worst I've ever experienced.

The only reason I'm giving this place four stars instead of five and I almost want to give them three stars. Is because of that lady that sits in the front desk and does absolutely nothing and is so cold. I asked her questions about the schedule and she said "look online" even though online says ask a coach. She was incredibly rude and dismissive. But my son loves the preschool and his teachers are super sweet!

My daughters used to attend their preschool/daycare program. I'm glad I have pulled them out because one of my daughters was always treated unfairly and it broke my heart because she loved that school. The director Ms Rhonda is very mean. When she was " disobedient" she kept her in the room with her for an over an hour to calm her down. Told me that she couldn't come back till she showed improvement but her twin sister could still attend. My daughter is 4, these type of punishments are unacceptable. For a daycare you need to have a little patience kids can't be perfect all the time they have their days just like us. What really annoyed me is when she said " she apologized yesterday when she acted out but I don't accept the apology because she did it again today". I took her to a therapist to see if something could maybe be wrong with my daughter since she wanted to imply she might have behavioral issues. Nope the therapist said my daughter is fine it was maybe the environment she was is. My daughter is very happy in the new daycare school she attends and has no issues. This place really needs to be checked out some people just shouldn't be working with children especially if they're just doing it for the money. Don't take your kids here if they can't be "perfect" they'll write you every day just nagging about your kids making you feel your child isn't good enough or your parenting skills aren't well

So about 3 years ago I attended a class that my daughter had my granddaughter enrolled in. This was only her second class, and myself and my daughter will never forget how unorganized and ridiculous it was. The coach was over 10 minutes late, and when two of the other parents inquired as to what was going on, the lady at the front desk just kind of shrugged her shoulders and said I'm sorry but she's on her way. When she finally did arrive she was on her phone as she walked in, and when she finally made her way to the floor seem like she had a personal issue going on and should not have even been there. The kids were paid minimal attention to and it was one of the most unorganized clusters I've seen at a place like that that is a supposed organized event, class and training center. This was enough for me at that time to not enroll my grandson (he wanted to do tumbling I believe) and for my daughter to have that as the final class for my granddaughter. OK so fast forward to just last month, and myself and my wife sat in to just observe for about 30 minutes to decide if we wanted to ask some questions and give them another chance and bring our younger granddaughter there. For the first 15 minutes there were two parents of attending kids sitting next to us along with a few other parents, who were cursing up a storm and talking about negative things. I'm 100% certain one or two of the staff members along with a couple coaches heard them yet no staff approached these two very immature adults to ask them to please be respectful or to leave. My wife and I along with a couple other parents were just looking at each other and some of the staff like what the heck is this!?! Anyways before I left I couldn't just not acknowledge that situation and I approached / discussed with a lady at the front desk. Her response was something to the extent of "we often get very overwhelmed here and can't control everything that's said or talked about in The waiting areas" .... Like WTF? SHE LITERALLY GAVE ME THAT RESPONSE AND WALKED AWAY FROM ME TO TEND TO OTHER BUSINESS!!! ... So nothing but bad and unprofessional experiences for myself from this place. What led me to come back and leave this review was just over conversation with my daughter today she was telling me about one of her friends who just a couple weeks ago had a very negative experience with some rude disrespectful and seemingly stuck up staff members while in there just asking a few simple questions deciding whether or not to enroll her daughter. ... Anyway, where my 2 granddaughters attend gymnastics now (in Lodi) there are MULTIPLE stories and complaints like this about gymstars from people whose children or themselves have attended there in the past. I hope this review helps anyone deciding about gymstars, and please take your time to read through the other negative reviews, as they say most people don't think about negative reviews unless they are really disappointed or rubbed the wrong way about a business or establishment.

i was offered an opportunity to audition to work at gymstars and got strung along a month and a half long process just to be turned away from my 4th week audition for arriving 5 minutes late due to rain and traffic. The GM said that me being late because of traffic and rain made me unfit for the company. So i guess if you want to work here you should run all the red lights and speed past every car on the way over, or else you're just considered unfit to teach children. They also said in an email after this that my first 3 auditions left "uncertainty" even though I performed everything I was asked to do and did basically everything the actual instructor's i was working with was doing. I was told by each coach that I was a great fit and that a lot of people they audition just stand there unlike me. On my 3rd audition the coach Caitlyn informed me it wasn't even her class and she was unaware of the children's skill level, leaving us limited to activities to do. Let's also mention that I applied for a position to be a dance coach and applied with cheerleading and dance experience and not one of my 3 auditions were a dance or cheer class. All 3 were gymnastics and I still happily performed as well as possible without being able to spot the kids due to not being under gymstars insurance. Basically i was told to talk to the kids, give corrections and engage consistently, VERY SIMPLE and easy and any coach I worked with knows I reached the expectations i was told to reach. I honestly don't know what more they wanted from me but they completely wasted a month of my life that i could have spent applying to teach somewhere else, but was forced to leave my availability open for a month of auditions for a company who couldn't spare me 5 minutes. So if you are considering teaching here i highly recommend you to look elsewhere. Don't waste your time as they will have 0 respect for it. I also believe there is a sanitization issue as after my 3rd audition I fell Ill and later discovered it was COVID 19. TOTALLY NOT WORTH IT
