Team Attraction Gymnastics, Apex

Between leaving their previous gym and opening their current one, CaryCitizen reported that Team Attraction Gymnastics’ upper-level girls were “a nomadic bunch,” honing their moves with donated hours in practice spaces throughout the city. Now, the team has found an Apex gymnasium to call home. The venue hosts recreational classes ranging from simple exercises for chaperoned tots to rhythmic gymnastics for students up to high-school age. The gym’s alternate sequence of competition-track classes spans 10 levels, preparing budding athletes to join state-championship-winning teams with 9–13 hours of training per week. Youngsters’ bodies stay active with tumbling and acrobatics at the gym’s summer camps, which also expand minds instead of sticking bicycle pumps in students’ ears.
