Our Recreational Gymnastics Program consists of three levels:
Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced.
Each level is divided into color stages that guide skill progression. To move from one level to the next (for example, from Beginner to Intermediate), gymnasts must successfully complete all color stages within their current level.
For example, the Beginner level includes the color stages Burgundy, Red, and Tan. Gymnasts typically begin in Burgundy during their first session and advance to the next color stage as they master the required skills. This system allows gymnasts to progress at their own pace while ensuring they build a strong foundation before moving forward.
Please refer to the information below for specific details on each level and color stage.
-
This first level of Recreational Gymnastics is perfect for gymnasts who have completed fewer than three sessions. At this stage, children learn the fundamental skills of gymnastics that will set the foundation for their future progress, all while having fun and building confidence.
Beginner classes are 1h in duration.
Colour 1: Burgendy
Colour 2: Red
Colour 3: Tan
-
The Intermediate level is designed for athletes who have completed more than three sessions of gymnastics. At this stage, gymnasts refine the foundational skills learned in the previous level while continuing to build strength and agility. Athletes are also introduced to new, more complex movements as they progress.
The Intermediate level includes the following color stages:
Colour 4: Bronze
Colour 5: Purple
Colour 6: Blue 1
-
The Advanced level is the highest level in our Recreational Gymnastics Program and is designed for experienced, skilled gymnasts seeking an additional challenge. Athletes at this level have mastered foundational and complex skills, developed flexibility and perseverance, and are ready to take their training to the next level.
In addition to skill development, athletes in the Advanced level are required to participate in physical conditioning as part of their training. All Advanced classes are 2 hours in duration.
The Advanced level includes the following color stages:
Colour 7: Blue 2
Colour 8: Turquoise
Colour 9: Silver
Colour 10: Orange
Colour 11: Yellow

The “initiation à la compétition” group is designed for advanced-level gymnasts who wish to progress toward competitive gymnastics. In this program, athletes continue to develop advanced skills while focusing on strength, technique, and artistic expression, three essential elements of competitive gymnastics.
The “initiation” program provides gymnasts with an overview of the competitive program and prepares them for our annual auditions.
Gymnasts train twice a week, with each class lasting 2.5 hours, for a total of 5 hours per week. They also participate in two in-house competitions during the year to showcase their routines to their family and friends.
To join the “initiation” group, gymnasts must pass an audition.

Our classes are carefully structured by age and gymnastics level, allowing children to progress at the right developmental stage. Alongside building gymnastics skills, they also enjoy valuable social experiences, making new friends and learning teamwork in a fun and supportive environment.

At Gymibik, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, have fun, and grow in a safe and supportive environment. For this reason, we offer the option to add one-on-one support for children who may benefit from additional guidance during their classes.
If your child has autism, ADHD, uses a hearing aid, or has other special needs, and would benefit from individualized support, please contact us at recreatif@clubgymibik.com to arrange a support coach.
An additional fee of $25 per hour applies to cover staff salaries. This approach allows us to provide each child with the attention, encouragement, and guidance they need to thrive in the sport they practice.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out, we are always happy to help.
