Our values
TNT Kid’s Fitness & Gymnastics is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization established in 2005 working toward understanding, accepting, and helping all children grow stronger with confidence. As TNT strives to continue their uniqueness and quality of programming, our vision continues to be focused on each child and recognizing that all have abilities.
TNT is a facility that uses the sport of gymnastics to facilitate other programs as it relates to fitness. The pledge we bestow upon the community is providing unity and equality for all children. In just beginning our 6th year of operation, our “one of a kind”, 20,000 sq ft facility has served over 4000 families along with over 350 families with children that have a special need. No child has been turned away from participation for physical limitations.
All TNT programs are designed to nurture and enhance each child’s physical, social, emotional, and cognitive needs. We understand that each individual learning curve is unique and strive to ensure that every student is feeling successful yet challenged in their class.
Every Child is a Champion!
Connecting special needs children to high achieving athletes in one space transforms our facility to believe in the power that all children have exceptional talents and abilities. We firmly believe that healthier children involved in group socialization activities helps give them “well rounded” personalities and confidence to deal with life’s highs and lows. There is no other facility in our area that focuses on acceptance and inclusion for all children with various abilities. Our local area schools indicate that more than 2,800 children with physical or cognitive limitations live in our community. We take pride in our inclusion adaptive program—and in our trained and nurturing staff who knows how to adapt activities so all children are participating and growing stronger.
TNT believes in the future of our kids and the importance of advocating for children to respect and grow together in becoming healthy and productive adults. The children of today are our future for tomorrow.
