Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of gymnastics programs does Powerhouse offer?
A: We offer 3 types of gymnasics programs.  First is our Artistic Gymnastics program.  The girls' artistic program includes use of the balance beam, uneven bars, floor skills/routines, and the vault.  The Boys' artistic program includes the Rings, Pommel Horse, Parallel bars, and floor.  The second program we offer is called Power Tumbling & Trampoline (TNT).  This includes floor tumbling, double mini trampoline as well as the Olympic trampoline.  The third program we offer is our Cheer Tumbling program.  This program is specific for students who aspire to be cheerleaders and need tumbling skills in order to be on a particular squad.

Q: Will my child be competing?
A: Powerhouse offers competetive teams for Artistic Gymnastics as well as TNT.  However, children are on these teams by invitation only.  If your child exceeds the intermediate/advanced level in their class, they too may be invited to be on one of our competetive teams.  Additional tuition and fees apply.

Q:  What age can my child begin classes?
A:  We have a Parent & Child class that is geared toward the 18 month - 2 yr olds.  Once your child turns 3, they can begin individual toddler classes, also called "All Gym" classes.

Q:  Do you require that I purchase a uniform for my child?
A:  A special 'uniform' is not needed until your child is invited to be on a team.  We do require the girls to wear a leotard, and the boys can wear elastic waist shorts and a t-shirt.  Socks or tramp shoes are required for trampoline use.

Q:  How many students are in these classes?
A:  5 students to 1 coach in our Parent/Child class.  5 to 1 in our Tumbling Bear 3's; 6 to 1 in Tumbling Bear 4-5s, and 8 to 1 for ages 6 and up.

Q:  What are your rates and fees?
A:  You will find that Powerhouse has very competetive rates.  Contact the office for more information and visit our class availability page.

Q:  Do you offer a free trial class before I decide to enroll my child?
A:  Unfortunately, we no longer offer trial classes. Adult Open Gym is Monday and Wednesday 8:00pm to 9:30pm, and Toddler Open Gym is Monday, 11:30am to 12:30pm.  There is no open gym on Saturdays anymore.
