Basketball at THE GYM
In association with Fundamental Sports Academy, THE GYM’s Youth Basketball Program is designed to develop playing skills, sportsmanship and teach boys and girls about the sport of basketball. Directed by Brad Ceisler, the former NBA coach has worked with the Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, and San Antonio Spurs, mentoring some of America’s greatest players including Shaquille O'Neal and Ben Gordon.

Pre-k Classes
At THE GYM, we understand the importance of integrating fitness into children’s daily lives at a young age. Our Pre-Kindergarten classes are designed to introduce sports and exercise through enjoyable, effective games, enabling youngsters to have fun while they work out. This program teaches 3-5 year olds how to warm up, stretch, and complete simple exercises properly before engaging in fun and fast-paced sports and games. The hour long classes are jam-packed with tons of activities that will get your little one’s heart pumping and provide them with the perfect amount of exercise for the day.

Sport Specific Classes and Lessons
The Youth Program at THE GYM offers sport specific classes and lessons to kids of all ages. Qualified instructors use specific training techniques to improve our young athlete’s skill level, while honing in on important mechanics which make a strong and successful athlete.

Super Soccer Stars
THE GYM’s Super Soccer Stars classes are based on age-specific curricula created by early childhood behavioral specialists and soccer experts. The soccer program is developed to give budding soccer stars the proper framework, enabling them to excel as they advance from class to class. Each session begins with a welcome activity, incorporating song and cheers, then transitioning to warm-up games followed by a muscle warming stretch. Our soccer stars will participate in individual, partner, and group activities in a non-competitive environment. The session concludes with a scrimmage game, adapted for the proper age group, to familiarize budding athletes with the structure of a game setting, while reassuring our young kickers with positive reinforcement and encouragement.

Our Mission at all our locations is to create a fair, organized and educational environment for children from elementary school age through the age of 14 so they can learn an appreciation for health and fitness that will continue into adulthood.

Research shows that regular physical activity in childhood and adolescence helps build stronger bones and muscles, control weight, reduce anxiety and stress, increase self-esteem and reduce the risk of premature diseases. Positive experiences with physical activity at a young age can help your child start a lifetime of beneficial physical activity.

Our programs are designed to help make a positive change. Why not give your children and their friends the gift of activity that can last the rest of their lives?

At THE GYM, we have two different and distinct programs:
