Lakeshore Academy – Mt. Prospect

Lakeshore Academy is a comprehensive gymnastics training facility with multiple locations throughout the Chicago area, including Chicago, Mount Prospect, and Glenview. The academy offers gymnastics classes, competitive team programs, camps, clinics, and special events for children and adults of all skill levels.

Gymnastics class offerings are organized by age and skill level to ensure appropriate instruction for every student. Programs include Parents and Toddlers classes for the youngest gymnasts to explore movement with caregiver support, Preschool classes introducing foundational gymnastics skills in a fun, age-appropriate environment, Kindergarten programs building on basic skills with more structured instruction, Girls Recreational classes offering progressive gymnastics training for various skill levels, Boys Recreational programs providing gymnastics instruction tailored to male athletes, and Adult classes for grown-ups wanting to learn gymnastics or maintain fitness through gymnastics training.

For athletes seeking competitive opportunities, Lakeshore Academy operates several team programs including USAG Girls teams competing in USA Gymnastics sanctioned events, USAG Boys teams for male competitive gymnasts, and GIJO/XCEL Girls programs offering alternative competitive pathways for female gymnasts. These teams provide dedicated coaching, intensive training schedules, and opportunities to compete at local, state, and regional levels.

The Glenview location also offers Cheer programs, expanding the academy’s offerings beyond traditional gymnastics to include cheerleading training and skills development.

Camp programs provide exciting opportunities during school breaks and summer. Winter camps offer jam-packed fun including open play, instructional time, and games for children ages 5 and up (participants should bring snacks). Summer camps feature extended programming with field trips (some requiring additional fees), daily activities, and special Friday events like Pizza Day or Hotdog Day. Campers need to bring lunch daily except for these special Friday meals.

Each location offers clinics and special events throughout the year, providing opportunities for skill development in specific areas, trying new activities, or celebrating special occasions at the gym. These events complement regular class offerings and provide variety in programming.

The academy maintains a clear refund and credit policy to ensure fair treatment of families while supporting the stability of class enrollment. Detailed information about policies, class schedules, and registration is available through each location’s specific pages.

With three distinct facilities serving different areas of Chicagoland, Lakeshore Academy makes quality gymnastics instruction accessible to families throughout the region. The academy’s comprehensive approach – from tiny tots to competitive athletes, recreational to elite training – ensures that students can grow with the program and find appropriate challenges at every stage of their gymnastics journey.
