By Katrina Ulasewich publisher of Macaroni KID Westfield-Southwick February 8, 2024

Are you looking for a new activity, a competitive team sport, or a party venue for the spring season and/or for the 2024-2025 school year?! Look no further than the art of gymnastics with Thompsons Gymnastics Center. The spring session will start 2/26-5/18 and they will have summer programs and classes info out soon!


Check out Thompsons Gymnastics Center in South Hadley. Family-owned and operated, Thompsons has been a leading force for gymnasts on a local and national level for years.


They offer a wide variety of classes for both Boys and Girls ages 2 and up. For the past year, my 5-year-old daughter and 8-year-old son have been taking classes there and they love it! They learn a variety of skills by moving to three different stations throughout each class. It keeps them moving and having fun! 



Below find the description of each one of their classes:

Parent & Child

Parent and Child Classes for Boys and Girls 2 to 3.

We know that this group benefits the most from a one-to-one ratio and hands on learning.  Because of this the students are accompanied by a parent or guardian in the gym throughout class. 

Classes will be 30 minutes long.  Each class includes 3 different events each week.    Please only one accompanying adult in the facility per participating child.


PreK & Kinder Gymnastics

For children under 6

Our Kinder Gymnastics class is a multi-educational preschool movement class. Each week is a new learning experience.

Our small class sizes have ideal student to teacher ratios and allow for constant social distancing during lessons.

The goals in these classes are to engage in physical activity, learn new skills and develop coordination all while having fun in a safe environment!

Each class is 40 minutes long and meets one time per week.  Classes begin with a warmup and movement activity followed by 3 events.
