CanGym Classes
The recreational programs at QCG are centered around the CanGym program. CanGym is an age and skill dependent series of classes from beginner to advanced. The classes focus on fundamental movement patterns including landings, locomotions, stationary positions, rotations, springs and swings. These are natural progressions into our competitive programs and Women's and Men's Artistic Gymnastics. The CanGym program also includes apparatus-based skills including vault, pommel horse, uneven bars, floor, rings, and beams. QCK has separated the CanGym levels into six age and skill based classes.
