Gage Center Gymnastics’ staff members, who have trained Olympic medal-winning gymnasts, educate kids in a variety of fundamental gymnastics, cheerleading, and swimming skills in weekly one-hour lessons. Patrons choose from a schedule brimming with such offerings as Dragonfly classes, which get germinating gymnasts started off right by focusing on instilling a healthy learning attitude rather than mastery of specific skills. Recreational gymnastics courses further the flipping framework for school-aged children in lessons based on the USAG Junior Olympic Program. Cheerleading lessons guide students through valuable teamwork skills along with jumps, stunts, and 30 ways to cook a wild pompom. For more than 20 years, the Sea Dragon Swim School has transformed trepidatious tikes into motivated merpeople in the 92-degree waters of a 20'x40' pool.

Gage Center also sends boisterous birthdayers flying in the Bump City indoor playland designed for children 1–13 years old. Kids bounce on in-ground trampolines, slam-dunk basketballs, and swing on a trapezes as they release tension built up during cooties-awareness events. All parties include invitations, a special T-shirt for the birthday child, an hour of supervised play in the gym, and 30 minutes in the party area for refreshments and gift opening.
