Bars
Uneven bars work built on strengthening, stretching and conditioning before skills are added.
Balance beam
Balance, control and beam routines, progressing from floor line work up to full height.
Vault
Run, hurdle and block technique, coached with spotting at every stage.
Trampoline & tumble trak
Tuck, straddle and pike jumps, and the air awareness that makes tumbling safer.
Hip-hop & dance
Choreography for floor exercise, plus the hip-hop and dance classes that build toward recitals.

Good to know
- Paying four weeks ahead helps us plan. Most classes are full, so advance payment gives us time to schedule enough coaches for every class.
- We do not issue refunds, because classes are full and a spot held is a spot another family could not take.
- Make-ups are available. New skills are introduced weekly, so please attend all classes; missing them will put your gymnast behind.
Your first visit
Before your free trial class
Welcome to your free trial class at Tumble Masters. Our goal is to teach every student in a fun, structured, positive way that keeps them motivated. Please call first, as times and days often change.
- Call or text Robin to book Reach her at 480-494-7770 to confirm a day and time before you come in.
- Fill out the registration form at the gym This has to be completed before your child joins the class.
- Dress for the gym Girls: a leotard or bike shorts, no short tops, hair tied back and away from the face. Boys: a shirt with spandex or bike shorts. Baggy shorts are not safe. No jewelry, arm bands or wristbands for anyone.
- Bring a reusable water bottle Water only, please, and no disposable bottles: their caps are a choking hazard.
- Use the bathroom before class We share bathrooms with older students from the music class, so we have to supervise students to and from them, and that takes away from class time. A quick trip before you arrive helps everyone.
Summer classes
When summer classes are running, the days and times are posted at the gym, on this page, and usually sent out by text. That information generally goes up in April or May. There is no summer camp planned; summer classes take its place.

Meet your coach
Coach Robin
Robin has spent more than 25 years teaching tumbling, both as the owner of private gyms and as an instructor and coordinator for schools, clubs and parks departments.
She found the sport in third grade in Los Angeles, watching Olga Korbut at the summer Olympics do routines nobody could believe. She started practicing what she had seen, and classmates started copying her. Most of them could not afford other instruction, so Robin began teaching them herself. That was the whole career in miniature: she realized she might never be a champion like her idol, but she had a talent for teaching kids who could be.
Thousands of kids later, her walls are covered with their photos, and plenty of them still recognize her around town years afterward.
