WELCOME TO OUR UPGRADED GYM!
Our Story
TBGA is Thunder Bay’s largest gymnastics club with an interior floor area of 12,234.58 square feet and we are currently celebrating our 50th year and so are some of our mats! We have over 350 competitive and non-competitive athletes through our doors each session that interact with our space, meaning a lot of wear and tear on our equipment. To TBGA, safety is paramount, which is why we sought out to replace our old in many cases original flooring/matting.
In August 2017, our gym was awarded a grant from the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport to fund for 60% of the cost of funding for the new flooring and safety matting. By January 2018 we had successfully obtained the remaining 40% through a sponsorship campaign!
Thank you again to all of our amazing sponsors:

A huge thank you also goes out to our Board of Directors for kickstarting the campaign!
The new flooring and safety matting arrived March 30th and were installed by many parent volunteers and coaches who spent countless hours putting it all together. Thank you to our coaches put together carefully thought out floor plans to maximize our space and stayed many late nights to set up the gym. Our parents built stairs, sewed mats, provided vapour barriers and supplies, filled their trailers with our garbage, washed mats, cleaned corners, drilled holes for our bars, assembled new equipment... the number of tasks they did are endless and we truly appreciate you. Our gym looks amazing and is spectacular! It was put together with love by our wonderful TBGA family. We truly LOVE this sport!
On Friday, April 13th 2018 we held a Grand Re-Opening Celebration where we opened the gym for our usual Drop-in Session and Games for anyone who wants to see the new space as well has having treats and refreshments in celebration of our special day!
We are so proud of our new space and we can't wait to share it with everyone in the community. Come check us out!
