CanGym Classes

The recreational programs at QCGC are centered around the CanGym program. CanGym is an age and skill dependent series of classes from beginner to advance. The classes focus on fundamental movement patterns including landings, locomotion's, stationary positions, rotations, springs and swings. These are natural progressions into our competitive programs; 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. The CanGym levels into multiple age and skill based classes.
