Athletic Lab is excited to announce a special Gymnastics Skills Workshop open to both members and the general public.

Taking place on Saturday, May 24 from 10:00–11:00 AM, this introductory session is designed to build foundational strength, control, and confidence in key gymnastics movements that transfer directly to athletic performance.

Led by Athletic Lab’s Renee Perkins, the workshop will cover three primary areas:

  • Handstands & Inversions: Athletes will learn proper kick-up mechanics, balance strategies, and safe exit techniques including cartwheels, pirouettes, and forward rolls.
  • Muscle-Up Progressions: A breakdown of technical and strength components including scapular control, pulling mechanics, and support strength.
  • Foundational Gymnastics Strength & Mobility: Targeted drills such as skin-the-cat variations, bar support holds, and positional core work (hollow, brace, superman).

The session begins with a structured general warm-up focusing on wrist, scapular, hip, and ankle preparation, followed by progressive skill development and strength work in each area.

This workshop is ideal for athletes and fitness enthusiasts looking to improve upper body strength, coordination, and body control in a structured, coach-led environment. No prior gymnastics experience is required.

Cost:

  • $5 for Athletic Lab members
  • $20 for non-members

If interest is high, we plan to expand this into a series of deeper-dive workshops focused on specific skills such as hand balancing or muscle-ups.

Spots are limited, so be sure to reserve your place early.
