Best Tacoma Gymnastics Clubs – 2022 guide

Tacoma is a city in Washington state. Washington state isn’t one of the top gymnastics teams in the United states but they still produce some exceptional gymnasts competing in Washington state and nationals. In 2020 the Tacoma dome was due to host the US junior Olympic national championships but unfortunately it had to be cancelled. Hopefully it will be hosted here in the near future.

Tacoma gymnastics

Gymnastics in Tacoma is on the rise with a large choice of gymnastics gyms to train at.

Whether your children are looking for a recreational class or to start a gymnastics class and begin working towards the gymnastics levels, there are gymnastics clubs in Tacoma that are suitable for both.

Gymnastics in Tacoma – Best Clubs

Let’s take a look at a selection of gymnastics clubs in Tacoma. Tacoma is a great place for gymnastics because there are at least 15 USA gymnastics registered gyms in this city. There are a lot to choose from so if we have missed out your gym contact us and we will consider adding it to our list.


American gymnastics academy northwest

American gymnastics academy northwest is a family run gym and one of my favourite gymnastics clubs in Tacoma. What I love most about this gymnastics club is the attitude of the owners and the way they set out to create a club that doesn’t only teach young gymnasts how to perform physically, but they also help children face their fears and approach their training in a positive, less intense way.

On their website they say that they don’t just want children to take part in gymnastics, but instead to fall in love with the sport and feel safe to express themselves through their gymnastics. I couldn’t agree more, often gymnastics coaches are intense and classes and strict and don’t allow children to enjoy learning gymnastics skills.

Currently AGA northwest offer ‘stars girls classes’ for 5.5 – 9.5 year old girls. This classes teaches young gymnasts the basics of flipping and swinging and offers kids 6 levels to work through. Gymnasts will receive a coloured wristband for each level and a progress report. AGA also have a competitive gymnastics team that gymnastics are welcome to try out for if they are aged between 6 and 18 years old.

Grace Gymnastics Center Tacoma

Grace gymnastics Center is a USA gymnastics member gym located in Tacoma. Grace gymnastics say that their mission is to “teach gymnastics in a comfortable atmosphere that is enjoyable and fun”. This sense of comfort is so important especially for young gymnasts who are starting out and surrounded by lots of bigger gymnastics performing much more advanced skills.

Coach Kevin, Carleigh and Linda have many years experience coaching between them and coach Kevin previously won Washington state coach of the year. Kevin’s experience and guidance along with the other coaches has led to Grace Gymnastics center having a massive team of gymnasts that compete regionally against other Tacoma gymnastics teams, within the state of Washington and nationally.

Inspire Gymnastics

Inspire gymnastics in Tacoma have a wonderful gym and coaches Georgio and Kim are exceptional. Not only do they have a lot of coaching experience but they know how to help gymnasts to individually succeed and improve the skills they need to. They understand that not every gymnast, even though they may be training towards the same USGA level, will be at a different point in their journey and will have differing physical capabilities and weak points to improve on.
