Anytime is a good time to register for gymnastics classes at TGA! We offer a wide range of classes for children ages 18 months and older. Come join the fun! If you’ve never been to TGA before, you can view a full list and descriptions of all our classes here.

With school, work, sports and all of your other extracurricular activities, we know that you have a busy schedule. That’s why we offer a variety of times for our classes. You can view our schedule of classes here.

We invite you to use our online registration to reserve your gymnast’s spot today. Class sizes are limited to 7 gymnasts per instructor and will fill up fast, so be sure to select the class day and time that works best for your schedule. We will follow up with a call to verify your registration.

You can pay for your registration on the first day of class with cash or check. If you have any questions about our classes, please call (515) 953-6622 during our business hours.

Please vote for Team Gymnastics Academy in the FASTSIGNS MetamorphoSIGN Contest. Due to a limited budget and complicated city regulations and requirements regarding signage, we currently do not have a highly visible sign to help potential customers and aspiring gymnasts find our tucked away location.

TGA would love to be MetamorphoSIGNed in order to gain more exposure and visibility. It would be valuable to the entire business area. A new visual makeover could help TGA stand out, allowing more children to learn about the fun activities offered at TGA.

How to Vote:

1. Go to www.fastsigns/contest

2. Scroll through our entries to #583

3. Click MORPH IT

4. Click the SHARE tab below

For more instructions on voting and how you can spread the word, check here. You can vote once each day, and each vote enters you into a weekly drawing for one of six instant prizes ($50 American Express gift cards). Votes casted are not viewable. The winner with the most votes will be announced September 23.

The goal of the fundraiser was to raise money that will help St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital find new treatments for children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. The gymnasts raised funds by asking for contributions for doing the most that they could do in sit-ups, push-ups, chin-ups, headstands and walking on their hands.

To date, we have raised $800. Anyone can contribute by sending a check to TGA or by donating to the event here.
