Gym 1 is 7,500 s.f. and was the original gymnastics workout area. Classes and camps all start off in this gym as it houses the floors and trampolines for warm-ups. It also houses gymnastics most difficult events (beam and pommel horse), as well as the vault. Cheerleaders will love the trampolines, airtrak, and tumbltrak.

The 3,060 s.f. Gym 2 opened in April 2007.  As it's nickname ("Chalk Gym") implies, it houses the chalkest events in the sport.   Gym 2 is equipped with equipment for gymnasts of every age and ability.  Overhead spotting rigs provide the opportunity to learn new skills with a reduced risk of injury.
