ABOUT US


Raleigh’s First Recreational Tumbling Facility

Open Gym is a premier tumbling facility in Raleigh, North Carolina, dedicated to providing high-quality, safe, and effective training for athletes of all skill levels. As the city’s first gym focused exclusively on recreational tumbling, we bridge the gap between structured competitive programs and open-access training, offering a space where athletes can refine their skills, build confidence, and develop a lifelong passion for movement.


Our Mission

Our mission is to create an inclusive, high-energy environment where athletes can excel in tumbling without the pressures of team commitments. We believe in fostering individual growth, encouraging self-motivation, and providing expert coaching tailored to each athlete’s unique journey!


What Sets Us Apart

• Specialized Focus on Tumbling – Unlike traditional gymnastics or cheer gyms, Open Gym is dedicated solely to tumbling, allowing for a targeted approach to skill progression.

• Expert Coaching – Led by industry veteran Frank Barnett, with 25+ years of experience in tumbling and coaching, our team includes highly qualified instructors with backgrounds in elite cheerleading, collegiate tumbling, and acrobatics.

• Drop-Off-Only Policy – By maintaining a distraction-free environment, we optimize athlete focus, creating a safe and productive training atmosphere.

• Flexible Training Model – We offer structured classes, private lessons, and open training opportunities to cater to a variety of learning styles and schedules.


Our Impact on the Community

Open Gym is more than a training facility—it’s a hub for growth, discipline, and athletic development. We serve athletes from all backgrounds, including cheerleaders, dancers, martial artists, and anyone looking to improve their acrobatic skills. By fostering a positive and supportive culture, we empower young athletes to push their limits, achieve personal milestones, and take ownership of their progress.


As we continue to grow, our vision is to expand access to high-quality tumbling instruction, enhance our resources, and help build stronger overall athletes!
