At Rise Gymnastics, we don’t just train athletes – we help them RISE!
Rise Gymnastics was founded in 2019 with a vision to create more than just a space for athletic training—it was built to be a place where young athletes could grow in strength, skill, and spirit. Rooted in Christian values, Rise is a gym where faith, mentorship, and athletic excellence come together. Our coaches don’t just teach technique—they invest in each athlete personally, building strong coach-athlete relationships that inspire confidence, character, and a lasting sense of purpose. Through intentional mentorship and faith-based encouragement, we aim to develop not just better athletes, but stronger individuals who carry values like discipline, humility, and perseverance with them in all areas of life.
Our founder and owner, Kevin Kirkland, brings unmatched expertise and passion to the gym. As a seven-time national champion and two-time world champion in tumbling and trampoline gymnastics, Kevin leads Rise with a deep understanding of the sport and a heart for mentorship. His experience and dedication are woven into the fabric of the gym’s culture, inspiring athletes and coaches alike to pursue excellence in everything they do.
In 2024, we expanded into our newly remodeled location, now home to three fully equipped gyms: the Main Gym for advanced training and team practices, the Learn to Rise Gym for foundational skill-building and younger athletes, and our dedicated Cheer Gym designed specifically for cheer tumbling and team training. This expansion reflects our commitment to excellence and growth, providing athletes with the space and resources they need to succeed at every level.
Rise Gymnastics offers a wide range of programs for both recreational and competitive athletes. Whether you’re new to the sport or training for elite-level competition, we provide classes and private lessons in power tumbling, trampoline, double-mini trampoline, cheer tumbling, obstacle training, and personal fitness. We believe in creating an environment where every athlete feels seen, supported, and challenged to reach their full potential.
