Where to Start: Impact Sports Center
If you're looking for gymnastics in Lodi, most families start at Impact Sports Center. They offer the widest range of programs across both Lodi and Galt locations. Impact Preschool Gymnastics is the earliest entry point for ages 3-5 at $105 per month for 35-minute weekly classes. Your toddler will work on basic body awareness, coordination, and social skills alongside other kids their age.
Once your child turns 5, they can move into Impact Recreational Gymnastics, which runs four progressive levels. Five-year-olds start in a 45-minute Super Kids class while 6-7s and 8+ go into Gym Kids, and from there kids advance through skill-based levels rather than age groups. Classes range from 45 to 85 minutes depending on level, with pricing from $120 to $150 per month.
Tumbling vs. Gymnastics
If your kid wants to focus specifically on floor skills (cartwheels, handstands, back handsprings), Impact Tumbling runs six color-coded levels from White through Red. Ages 6-17, weekly classes run 55 to 85 minutes at $130 to $150 per month. You'll see faster progression here than in all-around gymnastics because the curriculum is narrower. Many Lodi families choose tumbling for kids who cheer or dance and need specific floor skills.
Tots Tap and Tumble through Lodi Parks & Rec offers a hybrid option for ages 6-8 at Thomas Theatre. Half the class is tap dance, half is basic tumbling. At $79 resident / $150 non-resident per session, it's one of the cheaper ways to introduce both movement styles before committing to a specialized program.
Beyond Traditional Gymnastics
Impact Cirque is one of the only aerial silks and lyra (hoop) programs for kids in the Lodi area. Ages 7-17, $120 per month for 45-minute weekly classes. Kids learn climbs, wraps, and inversions on fabric silks and metal hoops suspended from the ceiling. If your child is bored with traditional gymnastics or loves the visual of Cirque du Soleil performances, this is the program.
Impact Ninja Zone is obstacle-course training rather than gymnastics, but many of the same families rotate between the two. Ages 5-13, $120 to $130 per month for 45 to 55-minute classes. Kids build strength, speed, agility, and ninja skills through obstacle courses, drills, and the ever-changing Ninja Rig, with three age groups in the first level (5, 6-7, and 8-13).
FAQ
How much does gymnastics cost in Lodi?
Most programs run $100 to $150 per month for weekly classes. Impact Sports Center charges $105 to $150 depending on age and level. Lodi Parks & Rec classes like Tots Tap and Tumble are cheaper at $79 per session for residents, but they run shorter seasonal blocks rather than year-round.
What age should my child start gymnastics?
Age 3 is the earliest most Lodi programs accept. Impact Preschool Gymnastics takes kids as young as 3 for socialization and basic movement. If your child is younger, look at Mommy & Me Music through Parks & Rec instead (ages 2-5 with a caregiver).
Can my kid do gymnastics and tumbling at the same time?
Yes, and many families do. Tumbling focuses only on floor skills, while recreational gymnastics covers vault, bars, beam, and floor. If your child wants to advance faster in floor work (for cheer or dance), adding a tumbling class accelerates that specific skill set.
How do I know which level my child should start in?
Contact the program directly. Impact Sports Center will assess your child's current skills and place them appropriately. Kids often repeat levels, especially if they're new to the sport or took time off. Starting in the right level matters more than starting in the highest level.
Are there gymnastics options outside of Impact Sports Center?
Impact runs the only dedicated gymnastics facility in the Lodi catalog. Lodi Parks & Rec offers Tots Tap and Tumble as a hybrid class, but for year-round progressive gymnastics training, Impact is the primary option.
