Kyle Shewfelt Gymnastics
I dropped in during one of the busiest days of the year. Kyle himself was manning the front desk. Taking registrations and fixing tea for parents.
The 11,000+ square foot facility in Calgary is very well done. Bright and appealing. Lots of parking.
KSG offers all kinds of gymnastics, but not competitive. It’s for FUN and FITNESS.
Opened 10 months ago, Kyle has about 950 members a week. Business is great.
If you want to see a new club well launched, check out Kyle Shewfelt Gymnastics.
That’s a class website. And YES, Kyle does have online registration.

Gymnastics for All – Sikkens Ahlquist
Q: What distinguishes Gymnastics for All from the other disciplines of gymnastics?
Sikkens Ahlquist: “With Gymnastics for All, our aim is to spread gymnastics worldwide. You do that with development work and with education. And then you promote it with events. So the event we have had the longest is the World Gymnaestrada, which was introduced in 1953, and that has always been an event that gymnasts wanted to attend. From 1953, when we had 5,000 participants, it has grown constantly. So now Today, we have around 20,000 participants coming to the World Gymnaestrada every fourth year. ..
Q: Can you preview Helsinki 2015 a bit for us?
Sikkens Ahlquist: “Today we have 22,000 gymnasts registered, representing 54 federations. The big struggle now is to get more federations involved, to get them to send groups there. Also the philosophy of the World Gymnaestrada is that you should pay your own costs. That means that we always try as far as possible to keep the costs down. That’s why we have mainly school accommodations. …
Q: Everyone says there’s a wonderful ambiance at the World Gymnaestrada…
Sikkens Ahlquist: “The most fantastic thing is the atmosphere! Because there are no competitions, there are no medals, there are only performances for joy. You watch, and you perform. …

HAPPY at JAG GYM
A few months back, the staff at JAG Gym collaborated making a video in honor of International Day of Happiness to Pharrell’s “HAPPY.”
It was a fun, off-the-cuff project that evolved organically and with no real purpose but to celebrate being happy. …
