FOUNDED IN 2004,
Us Too Gymnastics has expanded to offer a range of
gymnastics programs for all abilities.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to equip every child and teen with the confidence and necessary skills to succeed in different public settings. Through the power of gymnastics taught in our fun and safe environment, we aim to make every child feel welcome and accepted.
HISTORY
Us Too Gymnastics was established in 2004 by Dena Lusardi, a young mother whose son was diagnosed with autism in 2003. Dena, who has a background in gymnastics, recognized the importance of providing a fun and physically engaging environment for the autistic community. She believed that creating such an environment would greatly benefit many individuals.
With this in mind and striving to meet her child's needs, she established Us Too Gymnastics, making it one of the few fitness centers in California and the United States to provide this service.
The program aims to offer gymnastics classes that promote social interaction, a healthy lifestyle, and positive self-esteem. Another goal is to support each student in reaching their full potential and ensure that they feel included as part of a community.
