About Us
Who We Are
Founder and president of International Gymnastics Centre Denise Champagne fell in love with the sport of gymnastics as she watched her son grow within it - not simply learning physical skills, but also adopting the character and confidence-building life skills that gymnastics provides. She created the business 20 years ago with the same principles that she respects today: a vision of holistic growth for children and young people through their gymnastics education. Students learn patience, discipline, hard work, hope, and good sportsmanship. Denise ensures all educators are qualified, safety certified and keep their training relevant by attending current seminars and workshops. Please take a look around and call us if you're interested in signing up your child!

Jimmy has been a professionally certified coach through USAG for 17 years and is qualified to teach all gymnastics levels and programs.
