What Is Peninsula Gymnastics?

Peninsula Gymnastics is a professional gymnastics training center with three locations in the San Francisco Bay Area — San Mateo, San Carlos, and Santa Clara. It offers gymnastics and tumbling programs for children ages 2 and up, spanning preschool, recreational, and competitive tracks, along with camps and special events. If you're looking for a youth gymnastics program in the Peninsula or South Bay, this page covers what the organization provides and how to get in touch.

Programs for Children Ages 2 and Up

The core offering is gymnastics and tumbling instruction. According to the site, programs are organized into three broad levels:

• Preschool — entry-level classes for the youngest participants
• Recreational — non-competitive classes for general skill development
• Competitive — for gymnasts training toward competition

All classes are described as promoting a healthy lifestyle by building physical fitness, strength, and self-confidence. The age floor is 2 years old, so this is a program for young children rather than adults or teens seeking open gym access.

Camps

Peninsula Gymnastics runs camps for school-age children throughout the year. Camp activities include:

• Gymnastics and acrobatics
• Tumbling
• Circus acts
• Choreography
• Arts and crafts

There are also separate gymnastics camps for developmental and team gymnasts, so campers already on a competitive track aren't mixed into the general recreation camp. The site notes the general camp is open to children with or without gymnastics experience and is managed by coaches who are members of the USA Gymnastics Federation, along with circus performers and choreographers.

Events

Beyond classes and camps, the gym hosts events including Parents Night Out, annual shows, and in-house competitions. These are worth checking if you want a low-commitment way to try the facility or if your child is already enrolled and you're looking for extras.

Locations and Contact

Each location has its own page, coach and staff listing, and job openings. The site also links to a "Peninsula TV" page for the San Mateo and San Carlos locations.

How to Sign Up or Stay Informed

Sign-up for camps is handled per location — the site presents separate sign-up links for San Mateo, San Carlos, and Santa Clara, so you'll need to pick your location first. For ongoing updates, each gym has its own email newsletter subscription (San Mateo, San Carlos, Santa Clara). The site indicates a "subscribe" option but does not publish class pricing or membership rates, so you'll need to contact a location directly for costs, schedules, and availability.

What to Check Before Choosing

A few practical points to verify with the specific location you're considering:

• Class schedules and availability by age and level — the site describes program types but not timetables
• Pricing and registration fees — not published on the site
• Trial or drop-in options — not mentioned; Parents Night Out and annual shows may be the closest low-commitment entry points
• Which location serves you — the three sites span San Mateo County and Santa Clara, so proximity matters

For anything time-sensitive or cost-related, calling the location directly is the most reliable route, since the website's public information focuses on program descriptions rather than logistics.
