Kids' gymnastics classes in Brooklyn, by the numbers

As of Sep 13, 2026, Enrollercoaster tracks 433 gymnastics classes in Brooklyn, from 12 providers including Gotham Gymnastics, Gymstars Brooklyn, and Ms. J's Gymnastics and Dance. 342 are open for registration right now, 4 more have a waitlist, and the rest are closed or not yet reporting a status. 17 programs are listed as free. 36% of the programs with a published schedule meet on a Saturday or Sunday; the rest are weekday-only.

Prices. Across the 338 programs that publish a price, the typical (median) listed price is $588; most fall between $115 and $1,280, with a full range of $30 to $2,560. Providers list prices differently — a single class, a month, or a full term — so compare the registration pages, not just the number.

Ages. Programs run from birth to 18. The most options are for school-age kids (295), preschoolers (207), and teens (96).

Where the open spots are. By neighborhood, the most gymnastics classes with open registration today are in Gowanus (189 open), Fort Greene (85 open), Sunset Park (26 open), Williamsburg (14 open), and Greenpoint (12 open). Neighborhood counts change daily as providers open and close sessions.

What to expect from a kids' gymnastics class

Kids' gymnastics in NYC ranges from parent-and-me tumbling for walkers to recreational classes on real apparatus — bars, beam, vault and a spring floor — for school-age kids. A typical first class is 45 minutes to an hour, starts with a group warm-up and stretches, then rotates through stations in small groups. Coaches look for listening and body control before difficulty, so a beginner will spend time on forward rolls, balance and safe landings. Bare feet and fitted clothing (a leotard or leggings and a t-shirt) are standard; long hair tied back, no jewelry. Many gyms let you book a single trial before committing to a term.
