With over 120 different finely tuned classes and programs available, 35+ friendly and experienced staff members, and more than 1600 families from our community participating with us annually, we pride ourselves on providing an unparalleled educational experience in the sport of gymnastics that is safe, welcoming, exciting, and above all enriching for our students. From toddlers to teens, beginners to college-bound champions, we educate a wide variety of ages and levels in the sport, working with each child at their optimal learning rate and providing a tailor-made learning experience that is as unique as each student is.
The Facility
Our convenient location, visible from the 5 freeway and minutes from the 73, was carefully selected in 2002 to be the most accessible gym to the majority of families in South Orange County. Our fully air conditioned, 16,000 square-foot facility incorporates the most modern in safety equipment, including bungee harnesses, European-designed landing pits, and state-of-the-art apparatus & learning tools. The gym was designed and built from the foundation up to safely accommodate children of all ages and levels and to provide a wide variety of programs for different students, all which mom and dad can easily observe from our viewing balcony or feel confidence and comfort in when dropping off on their busier days.

The Philopsophy
The benefits of gymnastics training can be tremendous and endless alike. Most importantly, they don’t have to be exclusive to the sport itself when the proper philosophies and methods are in place. We pride ourselves on developing not only great athletes, but great people. Our goal at Olympica Gymnastics is to improve the athleti-cism, confidence, and self-esteem of every student, all through an educational experience that is optimal for each unique student. And without ever sacrificing quality, the cost of the program will always be kept at a level that is affordable to the majority of the families in the communities that we serve.
Skills for Sport. Lessons for Life.
The Staff
The sport of gymnastics is unique, as is each child in their strengths, challenges, personalities, and optimal process of learning and progressing through it. We believe a coaching staff should both understand and reflect this. With literally centuries of combined gymnastics experience across our selectively curated staff of more than 35 coaches, we offer an experience to local families that is not only of the highest standard and expertise in the sports, but one that is best molded and matched to each individual student.
