From the Balance and Beam
My ambition of owning a gym for kids has always come true, and in 2010 with the opening of Balance & Beam Gymnastics, I fulfilled that desire after working as a franchisee for a kids' gym.
Even after seven years, parents continue to tell us how much of a difference our fantastic programme has made to their kids.
Here at the gym, every day is enjoyable, and we feel blessed and inspired to be able to work with kids and improve the lives of all of our members. We take great pride in our excellent standards and method of educating our child development programme.
This makes our programme appropriate for all kids; as a result, we've helped the most timid kids get over their failure fears, we've turned some of the liveliest kids' energy into a positive one, and we've taught kids with behavioural issues how to listen, share, take turns, and interact with other kids.
As we concentrate on motor skill development and cognitive learning, children with autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, hypermobile joints, and co-ordination issues have advanced by leaps and bounds.
Today, over 500 kids attend weekly gymnastics sessions, where they gain useful life skills like taking turns, sharing, and listening to instructions. The best aspect of our amazing programme is that the kids just think they are having fun.
We are continuously looking for ways to enhance our programme, and we appreciate any comments from our members.
