Charlot Gymnastics began on May 4, 2014, in San Jacinto. It did not start in a building, but in Becky Charlot’s front yard. What began as a small dream quickly grew into something bigger. After renting space at a local dance studio for six months and teaching just five athletes, Becky opened Charlot Gymnastics’ first official location across the street from where we are today. ​ From the very beginning, the purpose was clear: to build a child’s self-esteem through learning gymnastics. Charlot Gymnastics was created to be a place where every child is welcome. We support the whole child, not just the athlete. Each individual is met where they are, regardless of ability or challenge. ​ Becky’s original goal was to reach 100 students in the first year. Instead, Charlot Gymnastics served over 300 students in year one. The gym quickly outgrew its original space. This growth led to our expansion into the current facility, where we now proudly serve over 500 students each week. Charlot Gymnastics is built on intention and purpose. Our environment is safe, clean, positive, and welcoming. It is rooted in trust, a growth mindset, goal setting, strong values, and fun. We teach children how to set goals, work through failure, and try again. Around here, we believe in straightening your ponytail and giving it another try. ​ What has never changed is our heart. Our Leader in Training program reflects that commitment. It develops confident coaches and leaders who grew up in our gym. These leaders understand how to support children with care, intention, and purpose. Above all, we are deeply grateful for our staff. They bring our mission to life every single day. Charlot Gymnastics would not be what it is without them. Our greatest hope is that every child leaves our gym with more than new skills. We want them to leave with confidence, independence, and belief in themselves. Here, it is not about the skill. It is about the environment that helps children become the best version of themselves.
