Private Gymnastics Lessons
Sometimes Group Sessions Are Just Not Enough
Group classes work well for a lot of kids but sometimes your child hits a wall. They have been trying the same skill for weeks but see no progress. Sometimes, the class moves too fast or too slow for where they are. That is when private gymnastics lessons in Pickering start to make a lot of sense.
At ABS Gymnastics, private lessons mean your child gets a coach all to themselves for the whole session. No waiting around, no watching other kids take their turn. Just your child with a coach who knows what they are doing, and a clear plan for that session.
Here's How It Actually Works
Before anything starts, we talk to you and your child about what they want to get out of it. Then the coach builds every session around those specific goals. Private lessons tend to be a good fit if your child:
- Has been stuck on the same skill for a while
- Wants to move faster than a group class allows
- Gets a bit lost in group settings and needs more direct feedback
- Is getting ready for a competition or show
- Just wants to build up strength and technique for something specific
Our private gymnastics lessons in Pickering work for beginners and more advanced athletes alike. It really just depends on where your child is starting from.
Private Tumbling Lessons: Build It Right the First Time
Tumbling looks easy when someone else is doing it. But it takes real body awareness and patience to learn it properly. And here's the problem. If the basics are off, the harder skills never really click, no matter how many times you try.
Our private tumbling lessons in Pickering focus on:
Breaking each skill down into steps that actually make sense
Building clean technique before moving on to harder moves
Helping kids push past the mental block that stops a lot of them
Only moving forward when the athlete is genuinely ready
And honestly, private tumbling lessons in Pickering are where a lot of kids finally get unstuck. When a coach is fully focused on just them, kids tend to feel a lot more comfortable trying the scary stuff.

Handstand Training
More Useful Than Most People Think
A good handstand is not just a cool skill. It builds shoulder strength, core control, body tension, and balance all at once. And it is the foundation for a lot of harder gymnastics skills down the line.
Our handstand training in Pickering covers:
- How to kick up properly and find balance
- Shoulder and upper body strength for holding the position
- Core tension and the right body shape
- Working toward a clean, controlled freestanding handstand over time
We include handstand training in Pickering in a lot of private lesson plans because the benefits genuinely carry over into so many other skills. Most kids start noticing real improvement within just a few sessions.
Flexibility Training
More Useful Than Just Doing the Splits
A lot of parents think flexibility is just about looking impressive. But here's the thing. It actually affects how well your child performs skills, how their joints hold up during training, and how much control they have over their body.
Our flexibility training in Pickering is not just stretching and holding for thirty seconds. It actually covers:
- Active flexibility work through a full range of motion
- Hip, hamstring, shoulder, and spine mobility
- Safe progressions toward splits, bridges, and backbends
- Stretching routines that are actually designed for growing kids
Kids who stick with flexibility training in Pickering tend to improve faster than they expect. And parents usually notice changes in how their child moves outside the gym too.

Back Handspring Training
The Skill Every Kid Wants
The back handspring is probably the number one skill kids ask about when they come in for private lessons. And it makes sense. It is exciting, it feels like a big deal, and it opens the door to a lot of harder tumbling skills. But here's the problem. A lot of kids try to rush it before they are actually ready, and that is usually where things go wrong.
Our back handspring training in Pickering breaks the skill into separate parts:
The jump and set position
The arm swing and arch
The push and block off the floor
The push and block off the floor
And kids who go through proper back handspring training in Pickering usually pick up harder skills like back tucks much faster after, because the technique underneath is already solid.
Why Private Lessons Actually Get Results
Here's the honest answer. Your child is not sharing a coach with eight other kids. Every single minute of the session is about them. At ABS Gymnastics, that means:
Feedback that is specific to your child, not generic advice for the group
A pace that actually matches how your child learns
A coach who knows exactly where your child is struggling
Sessions that feel productive every time, not just sometimes
Book a Private Session
If your child is ready for something more focused, get in touch and we can figure out the right starting point together. Whether it is a back handspring, a cleaner handstand, better flexibility, or just getting past a skill they have been stuck on, we can always help.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my kid needs private lessons?
If they have been stuck on the same skill for weeks or feel lost in group classes, private lessons are a good idea. It gives them the direct, one-on-one help they actually need to finally move forward.
Can beginners take private gymnastics lessons?
Yeah, absolutely. Private lessons are not just for advanced kids. In fact, starting one-on-one is a great way for beginners to learn the basics safely and build up their confidence before jumping into a bigger group setting.
Why is handstand training such a big deal?
A handstand is basically the foundation for everything else in gymnastics. It builds shoulder strength, core tension, and balance. Once a kid figures out a solid handstand, all the harder skills get a whole lot easier to learn.
Is the flexibility training just stretching for an hour?
Not at all. We do not just have kids sit in the splits. It is active flexibility, meaning they build real strength through their whole range of motion. That is what actually keeps their joints safe during landings.
How long does it take to learn a back handspring?
Honestly, it totally depends on the kid. We break it down into small steps like the jump, arch, and landing. We never rush it. We only move forward when they are physically and mentally ready to do it safely.
What actually happens in a private tumbling lesson?
We focus completely on your child's specific goals. Instead of waiting in line, they get constant feedback. We break down the scary stuff into small, safe steps so they can push past mental blocks and actually see progress.
Why do kids learn faster in private sessions?
It really just comes down to attention. They are not sharing the coach with eight other kids. Every single minute is focused entirely on their technique, their specific struggles, and their pace. It just makes the whole process faster.
