Kids Gymnastics in Houston, TX (2026): 14 Gyms Compared

Two Houston gyms post a monthly starting price, and the table shows those same figures: $95 and $132.

Some Houston gyms start in infancy. The Little Gym locations in the Heights, Bellaire and Memorial run parent/child classes from 4 months. Houston Elite Gymnastics begins at 12 months, Discover Gymnastics at 18 months and Houston Gymnastics Academy at 20 months. Most kids move into a drop-off preschool class around age 3, then into rec classes once they start school.

Rec gymnastics is a weekly class focused on skills and fun, with no meets. Competitive gymnasts train more hours a week, usually after a tryout or coach invite, and compete in USA Gymnastics levels or the Xcel program, which has more flexible skill rules and costs less. In Houston, H-Town Elite and RISE Gymnastics list USA Gymnastics or Xcel teams in our data, and Houston Gymnastics Academy has boys’ USA Gymnastics levels and a girls’ IGT program.

Girls usually wear a leotard, or fitted shorts with a T-shirt tucked in. Boys wear fitted shorts and a T-shirt. Kids train barefoot, so skip shoes and socks on the mat. Tie back long hair and leave jewelry at home, because it can catch on equipment. Bring a water bottle. Some Houston gyms set their own dress code, so check before the first class.

Many gyms let a new child try one class before paying for a full month, but KAL has not confirmed a trial policy for each Houston gym yet. Call or email before you go and ask whether the trial is free, which class level fits your child, and whether you need to register online first. Also ask if parents can stay and watch.

Yes. Seven of the 14 Houston gyms on KAL list camps, including Houston Elite Gymnastics, Cypress Academy, RISE Gymnastics, Birons, Discover Gymnastics, Gymnastics Plus II and Lobo Gymnastics in Clear Lake. Lobo’s camps take potty-trained kids from 3 to 12, and a third-party listing showed a one-day camp at $65. Summer spots often fill early, so ask in spring.

No. Ninja classes are obstacle courses built around climbing, swinging and jumping, without the four Olympic events. Tumbling covers floor skills like rolls, handsprings and flips, often for cheer. Full gymnastics adds bars, beam and vault. In Houston, Houston Gymnastics Academy, Cypress Academy, RISE and Birons run ninja next to gymnastics, while one gym on Beverly Hill Street near the Galleria teaches tumbling only.
