Grande Prairie Gymnastics & Cheerleading

We are a large not for profit organization providing recreational and competitive programs in a variety of gymnastics related sports.

The Grande Prairie Gymniks Club was founded in 1973 by a group of parents including Dr. Bob Waldenberger and Diana (Kuhlman) Tissington, who shared the same passion for gymnastics. Bethe Goldie, currently Physical Education instructor at the Grande Prairie Regional College, pioneered a tradition of coaching excellence the Gymniks can be proud of. In 1980 the club became a registered society.

The Gymniks initially trained in “set up, take down” multipurpose facilities. The GPRC gymnasium served as the Gymniks first training center. Many years later, the Club moved to a Richmond Industrial Park 3000 sq. foot multipurpose center located next to Tartan Auto Body. The first “dedicated space” facility was acquired though the purchase of a 10, 000 sq. foot warehouse located behind the Quality Hotel in the industrial park. In September of 2005, the Gymniks moved to their new world class 50, 000 sq. foot gymnastic training center considered as one of the biggest, state-of-the-art gymnastic training centre’s in the country.
