Frequently Asked Questions
What age is appropriate to start gymnastics?
Gymnastics can be enjoyed by individuals of various ages. Epik Athletics starts as young as crawling in our Open Play program.
What do I need to wear for gymnastics classes?
Gymnasts typically wear snug-fitting athletic attire, such as leotards for girls or shorts and a t-shirt for boys. It’s important to choose clothing that allows freedom of movement and doesn’t have any loose items or strings that could get caught on equipment. Additionally, avoid wearing jewelry or accessories.
Are there any prerequisites or previous experience required for beginners?
Most gymnastics classes have beginner levels designed for children with no prior experience. No prerequisites are usually needed, as the classes aim to teach basic gymnastics skills and build a solid foundation for further development. If you would like to set up a one-on-one evaluation with your child for class placement, please contact the gym.

The duration of a gymnastics class can vary depending on the level and program. Generally, classes can run from 45 minutes to 2 hours. The frequency of classes also varies, with some programs offering classes once a week, while others may have multiple sessions per week.

What apparatus or equipment will be used in gymnastics classes?
Gymnastics classes involve a wide range of equipment, including balance beams, uneven bars, vaulting tables, floor exercise mats, and sometimes trampolines. The specific equipment used will depend on the level and focus of the class.
