TumbleBears & Foothills Gymnastics

We can’t wait to see some of our Tumblebears kiddos back in the gym tonight! 💛🐻

Just a little reminder that our Labor Day Makeup Open Gym is tonight from 5:30–7:00 PM!

We’re looking forward to making up that missed Monday gym time with lots of movement, fun, and happy kiddos. 🤸‍♀️

If your regular class was missed Monday while we were closed for Labor Day, we’ll see you tonight! 💛

One of the best things gymnastics can teach a child has nothing to do with a cartwheel. 💛

It’s learning to try something that feels hard, keep going when they don’t get it the first time, and eventually realize… “I CAN do hard things!”

That’s something our newest instructor, Ms. Alyssa, hopes every student leaves her class believing.

Alyssa grew up in gymnastics and cheer through childhood, her teen years, and into young adulthood, and some of her favorite memories were made in the gym. Now she gets to help create those same kinds of memories for the kids at Tumblebears!

She’s enthusiastic, incredibly friendly, and brings an energy to class that makes kids feel encouraged while they’re learning and growing.

And when she’s not at the gym, you’ll probably find her with a good book, spending time with her family, or cuddled up with her cats. 🐱📚

We’re so excited to have Ms. Alyssa as part of the Tumblebears family!

Parents, Alyssa’s motto is “I can do hard things!” 💛 What’s something you’ve watched YOUR child learn to do at Tumblebears that they once thought was too hard? Tell us below! 👇

No gymnastics Monday means we’re making up for it Friday! 🤸‍♀️

We’ll have a special Open Gym this Friday, September 11 from 5:30–7 PM.

Come burn off some energy, work on those skills they’ve been practicing everywhere BUT the gym 😂, or just come play for a while.

Who’s coming Friday? Drop a 🙋‍♀️ below so we know who we’ll see!

A little long weekend heads up! ❤️🤍💙

Foothills will be CLOSED Monday, September 7 for Labor Day.

Enjoy the extra day with your people, and we’ll see everybody back in the gym Tuesday! 🤸‍♀️

Labor Day weekend roll call 👇 What’s your family getting into this weekend?

We told you football season made its way into the gym. 🏈😂

September is Football Month for our preschool classes, and our coaches have worked a little football fun into lessons all month long.

Cartwheels, safety rolls, handstands, straddle jumps, beam work… even a little “tackling” practice. 😂

They’re still learning and building the same gymnastics skills, we’re just finding ways to make practicing them a whole lot more fun.

Because when they’re this little, sometimes the best learning happens when they think they’re just playing. ❤️

Now we have to know… are we raising a little gymnast or a future football player at your house? 😂🏈🤸‍♀️

September is here, and there’s a lot happening at Foothills & TumbleBears. 🍂🤸‍♀️

New skills are being worked on, Open Gyms are coming up, and our preschool classes have a brand new theme for the month.

Let’s just say football season has officially found its way into the gym. 🏈😂 More on that soon.

And September is only the beginning. We’ve got some REALLY fun things coming in October that we can’t wait to share.

For now, we’re kicking off a fresh month with the kids and families who make this place what it is. ❤️

Okay parents… what skill are we hearing about nonstop at home right now? 😂👇

“What if my child needs a little more than just being shown the skill?”

That’s something we think about a LOT.

Because two kids can walk into the same gymnastics class and need completely different things.

One might need a BIG cheerleader to build their confidence. Another might need an extra challenge. And sometimes they just need someone who can be a little silly and make a hard day fun.

That’s something Ms. Chelsey does so well. ❤️

Chelsey started gymnastics at just 3 years old and continued in gymnastics and cheer all the way through college, learning from instructors with state and national championship titles along the way.

Now, as a mom of two and a TumbleBears instructor for over 3 years, she brings that experience into the gym with every child she teaches. From Mommy & Me through intermediate skills and now Step One Back Handspring, she knows when a child needs encouragement, a challenge or a little extra fun.

Because great coaching is about more than teaching the skill. It’s knowing how to bring out the best in the child learning it.

What does YOUR child respond to best? A big cheerleader 📣, an extra challenge 💪, or someone who can make them laugh on a hard day?

And if your kiddo has had Ms. Chelsey, tell us something she’s done to help them feel more confident in the gym! ❤️👇

Every month, there’s something NEW waiting for them when they walk through our doors. ✨

At Tumblebears, we absolutely teach gymnastics skills.

But we also believe movement should be FUN.

We want kids building strength, confidence and healthy habits while genuinely enjoying being active. And one of the little ways we make that experience different? We change things up every single month.

New theme. New decorations throughout the gym. New lessons and activities that bring it all together.

It takes a little more thought and a little more work behind the scenes, but that’s part of what makes Tumblebears, Tumblebears. 💛

We’re here to teach gymnastics.

But if we can also create a place where kids associate moving their bodies, trying new things and being active with FUN?

That’s a win, too. 🤸
