Chimal Circus Arts offers children’s recreational gymnastics and aerial fitness classes!

Chimal Circus Arts was started in Houston, Texas in 2008 by Coach, Alex Chimal. His vision was to start a program that brings strong foundational Gymnastics and aerial fitness classes to children through our mobile program. We strive to teach and encourage physical education through the basis of gymnastics as it can relate to other sports.

Students will experience formal gymnastics techniques (through the USAG guidelines) by learning routines of various disciplines such as bars, beam, tumbling, and skills such as cartwheels and back hand springs. Fitness, Agility, Balance, Strength, Self-Confidence and Coordination are the side products of our program. Students are given the opportunity to challenge themselves, while at the same time having fun.
