Gymjam’s motor and agility programs allow your child to learn through movement. Play is the work of a child. As movement educators, we teach the child how to handle directions while challenging their creativity. Children, through fun play, learn to think critically and solve problems. As they succeed, a foundation is built for a positive self-image and self-confidence.

Our philosophy for our motor and agility classes differ from that of traditional gymnastics programs. We believe in a high activity and action level throughout the entire class. Our goal isn’t the perfect cartwheel or the perfect somersault; it’s teaching the concept of turning – how we turn, when we turn – and the confidence to try. Our students spend more time moving, practicing, building confidence and coordination, and less time developing “presentation” and/or skills testing.

In addition to the once-a-week Gymjam class, we also offer three FreeJAMs per week. A FreeJAM is self-supervised, open gym free play time. Children currently enrolled in a Gymjam class may attend any FreeJAM class at no charge. Former students may attend any FreeJAM for $5 each. Please check the current schedule for current FreeJAM times. Please note that, although rare, we can get full. We suggest that former students call ahead to check that there is room at a particular time.

1-on-1 Jam™
18 months to 35 months old • Parent-child program • 45 minutes
1-on-1 Jam uses movement challenges and creative equipment setups to develop coordination, body awareness and word recognition. Our instructors help guide the parent as their child discovers balance, locomotive skills, strength and flexibility. Social interaction is emphasized and encouraged! Through the introduction of simple directions, rules, and routines, the child develops listening skills and a sense of recognition. One third of the class is dedicated to open play. Adult participation is required.  

Move’n Jam™ 3s
Age 3 • 45 minutes Move’n Jam 3s is for the child who demonstrates a growing independence from the parent, has an adequate attention span and the ability to follow simple directions. In a fun, exploratory way, children learn to accomplish rolling skills, pre-cartwheels, hopping, jumping, landing, leaping, locomotion in different directions, balancing and weight transfer on and off of equipment. Attention spans will increase and the ability to follow directions will grow in this fun, structured class.

Sibling Jam™
Mixed ages • 45 minutes
Sibling Jam is designed for students of mixed ages to participate together. Sibling Jam pulls pieces from the curriculum and will vary based on the ages attending the class. It offers the busy parent an option to give two or more children of different ages the Gymjam experience without having to attend two separate classes.

Agility Jam™ 4-6 (Tueday AM) and ages 4-11 (Wed PM) • 45 minutes 
AgilityJAM is designed to develop a child’s balance, quickness, coordination and stamina. Utilizing more open space exercises than the Move’n JAM classes, your child will learn skills that apply to all sports. Jumping, balancing, quick-direction change, climbing, landing, body awareness as well as hand-eye and foot-eye skills will be taught and honed. As with all our programs, we will encourage your child to try through positive reinforcement.
