More about Motion Evolution...
The Motion Evolution program is based on scientific brain development principles. Exercise really activates the frontal cortex area of the brain. So what you see, and what you get, are people who are sharper. They’re more attentive, they’re less impulsive, and they’re less fidgety. They can sustain their attention longer, and it promotes their ability to sort through information and take it in. Translation: They are more efficient learners and thus smarter kids.

Mission/Philosophy

At The Children's Gym, we inspire children for a lifetime through the sport of gymnastics. Children ages 12 months through 14 years are challenged in a noncompetitive environment to develop not only their bodies but also their minds.

We believe the path to learning is lit by teachers who know where to shine the light. Our teachers infuse safety with creativity, respect with love, and clear expectations with consequential discipline. Unlike competitive programs that focus on skill level alone, our focus is to build self-esteem and encourage positive group interactions. Students are not competing with each other, but are striving for self-improvement. Our classes are small in order to achieve this goal.

Since 1984 we have been blazing paths and inspiring learning. Today, let us inspire your child for a lifetime.

The Children's Gym

The Children's Gym is owned and operated by Traci Vogel, a pre-school specialist with 25 years of experience in the field. Traci developed her love for gymnastics as a student of the sport. She began coaching at Oregon Athletic Club when she was seventeen, and it was during this experience that she was introduced to her mentor. With her mentor, she developed a pre-school gymnastics program that flourished. They moved the program to the current Hollywood location in 1982. Traci assumed ownership of the program in 1984, and The Children's Gym was born.

Traci started the The Children's Gym because of her passion for teaching children of all skill levels and abilities. She felt there was a need to provide a place for a diverse group of students to gather and learn gymnastics in a noncompetitive environment. The Children's Gym has provided such an opportunity. Inspiring children for a lifetime, The Children's Gym challenges students to develop not only their bodies but also their minds.

Classes run monthly from September to June with programs for beginners through advanced gymnasts. During the summer months, the gyms host weekly gymnastics camps. In addition to gymnastics classes and camps, both gyms offer birthday parties. Students are provided the opportunity to display their gymnastics skills at the annual Summer Show Off. With individual improvement as the cornerstone of the show, all participants are winners.

"We have a wide range of children that are a part of our program building self-esteem and feeling great about themselves. That is what is most important to me; that is my dream." ~ Traci Vogel, Owner The Children's Gym
