Awesome facility for your kids to train and excel in gymnastic. Great for children's mental and physical health. Coaching is the best. Well educated in gymnastics and great with the kids. I would recommend to any upcoming gymnasts. My daughter has been training here for over 7 years and she loves it. She started early and worked her way to the competitive program.

Cygnus is a very warm, safe place for athletes of all ages. By far the best gymnastics in town! Coaches there are kindhearted and always ensuring that athletes are improving in their own skillsets. 10/10 in my book.

My daughters have been part of the Cygnus family for nearly a decade. While I have a competitive athlete and had a recreational athlete for several years, we have always been happy with quality of coaching they have received. Great group of staff and really top quality gymnastics, that are seen on the national gymnastics stage!
