Kids gymnastics in Cape Coral, FL
Tumble. Climb. Fun. Repeat!
Recreational gymnastics for kids, walking to 9 years old in Cape Coral.
Built on play, with programming designed by a licensed occupational therapist.
Maybe your child has energy to burn and nowhere to put it. Maybe they already tried a sport and hated how serious it got, or they're a little behind on coordination and you don't want them feeling bad about it. Or maybe they just need somewhere to move, make friends, and be a kid for an hour.
Any of those is a good reason to come.
A gym for every kind of kid
No pressure track. We're recreational and we're staying that way. Your child shows up to move and have fun. There's no tryout to pass and nowhere they're expected to "go" with it.
OT-designed. A licensed occupational therapist builds and reviews our programming. Plenty of gyms say every kid is welcome here. We're the one that put real expertise behind it.
Built for every child. First-timers, children with sensory needs, children who need to work on coordination. The routine stays accessible and the coaches stay patient, so every child gets to win at their own speed.
Come see for yourself!
Our Classes
The classes grow with your child, starting with their first wobbly steps and working up to real confidence on the mat.
Every class includes Strength & Mobility, Skill Development, and All-Out Fun. Classes meet once a week, with 8 to 10 kids each, so your child actually gets noticed.

Sensory Fins
Sensory gymnastics for kids ages 5 to 9 with autism, ADHD or sensory processing needs. Fridays at 3:00.
It's a small group in a calmer room, with a lot of what their bodies have been asking for all week: swinging, climbing, and crashing into the big soft mats.
The whole class was designed by Steph, a pediatric occupational therapist who has spent the last ten years working with kids with sensory and physical needs, and she coaches it right alongside Coach Melana, our head gymnastics coach. So it looks like play, because it is, and every minute of it was built on purpose by someone who does this for a living.
- Fridays, 3:00 to 3:30
- Ages 5 to 9
- 3 kids per coach, max
- Parents are welcome on the mat, and so is your child's RBT or caregiver
- Step Up scholarships accepted

Meet your coach
Coach Melana
Hi, I'm Coach Melana (Coach Lana works too!).
I've been coaching gymnastics and kids' sports for years, on top of 15+ years as an athlete myself, including time training around the USA Gymnastics team.
There's nothing better than watching a child grow in confidence and believe in themselves.
I keep things fun, safe, and welcoming so your child can ease in at their own pace, because a little encouragement and a few celebrated small wins go a long way with a nervous child.
As a mom to a wild 3-year-old (and a small zoo of animals), I thrive in the happy chaos. Can't wait to meet your kiddo!
Frequently Asked Questions
A few things parents usually ask:
My child has never done gymnastics. Is that okay?
That's exactly who these classes are for. We start wherever your child is!
Do you do competitions?
No, and we don't plan to. Recreation, fun, and learning is the whole point.
What if we miss a class?
You can make it up in another class in the same age group that week if there's room. As classes and openings are limited, we recommend you do your best to make it to your reserved class.
My child has sensory needs or some anxiety. Will this work?
These classes were designed with children like yours in mind. The routine stays accessible, the coaches are patient, and a licensed OT helped shape the whole program. And for kiddos who need a smaller, calmer class, there's Sensory Fins on Fridays.
What ages do you take?
Walking through age 9 for classes. Baby Sharks starts the day they can toddle across the mat, and Sharks runs through age 9. Older than 9? We do private training with older kids too. Call or text us and we'll set it up.
How much does it cost?
$120 every 4 weeks for one class a week. Already train at Shark Bite Fitness? Ask about the Shark Bite Special. Sensory Fins and Mighty Sharks are priced separately.
Do you take Step Up For Students?
Yes. Shark Bite Gymnastics is a registered Step Up For Students provider. Step Up only bills monthly, so Step Up families pay $129 a month instead of $120 every 4 weeks for the weekly classes. Sensory Fins and Mighty Sharks take Step Up too and are priced separately. Tell us you're using Step Up when you book and we'll set it up.
Is the first class really free?
Yes. Your child's first class is on us, no strings. Click Book a Free First Class, tell us about your kiddo, and Coach Melana will call you to find the right class and day.
