“It’s Your Money – Spend It In Mesa.”
Where Your Kid Can Be a Star! For over 30 years, kids of all ages and skill levels have participated in the sport of gymnastics at Mesa’s At The Matinee Gymnastics Center. The business began in an old movie theater building, hence the name.
At The Matinee Gymnastics Center provides a positive, encouraging environment where young gymnasts are instructed with the fundamentals and skills needed to succeed both on—and off—the gym floor.
A Radically Different Approach That Works! At The Matinee Gymnastics Center starts new kids in the beginner program, which is very structured. They teach the kids how to conduct themselves and how to get the most from their training—discipline, efficiency, etc. A side effect of this approach is that over 40 of their students have graduated first in their high school graduating class!
Structured, Efficient Training. At The Matinee Gymnastics Center’s program trains kids in only 1/2 the number of hours of other gyms, while still remaining very competitive. Kids don’t have to dedicate their entire life to gymnastics. They can still participate in other activities, like plays or school sports. This comes from At The Matinee Gymnastics Center’s structure and as a result of teaching kids how to be efficient. Kids get better at their gymnastics training, so they don’t have to do as many hours of it!
An Innovative Idea! At The Matinee Gymnastics Center takes care of your kids. Even if a kid is not the best gymnast, through hard work, he or she can still make the competitive gymnastics team. A lot of kids that would have never been on a team at another gym will get to compete because of At The Matinee Gymnastics Center’s innovative training approach.
Professional Instructors. At The Matinee Gymnastics Center doesn’t have high school kids teaching beginners, like some gyms do. All kids receive gymnastics training from professional instructors. Additionally, the same instructors follow kids through all levels. That means kids stay with the same teachers throughout their development.
