Gymnastics for kids is flipping awesome! Most gyms offer early childhood classes for tots and preschoolers, introducing them to stretching, balancing and doing fun tricks. Then, as children grow to love the sport, they can move onto more competitive teams. At any age, however, non-competitive and recreational tumbling classes are great ways to stay fit and flexible around Los Angeles!
