Fun. If the program is fun, kids will look forward to arriving at the gym. Those who want to get to gym will have good attendance.

Fitness. Taiso gymnasts are amongst the most fit children in the city. Fitness benefits can be life-long, but to make fitness gains, regular attendance is essential. High repetitions of activities like swinging, springing and climbing are needed to improve physical, motor, and psychological attributes:

Physical attributes
• flexibility
• strength
• power

Motor attributes
• balance
• spatial awareness
• coordination
• agility

Psychological attributes
• confidence
• enthusiasm

Fundamentals. Gymnastics is elemental to all other sports and physical activities. But Fitness is pre-requisite to learning many of the skills we do in the gym.
