It all started in 1983 in Hermosa Beach. I was teaching Jazzercise, when several moms discovered that I had been a competitive gymnast and a former elementary school teacher. At their request, I began teaching gymnastics to their young children using the name Tiny Tot Gymnastics, which soon changed to Hippety Heart’s Gym, and then, in 1987, to SuperKids Gym.
SuperKids has grown over the years to a staff of several former gymnasts, dancers, and one music man, Mr. Tom Lambert. We now offer beginner to intermediate level classes in Gymnastics, Dance, Cheerleading, and Yoga.
We take our program to several city Parks and Recreation locations and over ten preschools, and elementary schools in the South Bay area. We hold classes seven days a week and have taught thousands of children their first cartwheel, front roll, and handstand!
I am so proud of the level of commitment and caring that my instructors embody when working with children. Every day, when teaching the children, they are truly developing the “super” in children.
Welcome, and I sincerely hope you enjoy your experience with SuperKids for many years to come.
Yours in health and fitness,
Teri Thompson, owner/director of SuperKids
