Seattle Gymnastics Academy (Burien)

OVERVIEW

Seattle Gymnastics Academy Burien is SGA’s first location outside of Seattle city limits, opening in November 2022 in the Five Points Shopping Center in Burien, Washington. Seattle Gymnastics Academy was founded in 1981 with 22 children in a basement warehouse behind a Kmart. Over the following four decades it grew into one of the Pacific Northwest’s most recognized gymnastics organizations, operating five locations across the greater Seattle area and developing more than 4,000 gymnasts annually. SGA is distinctive in its progressive, positive coaching philosophy, its use of flame-retardant-free foam across all facilities, and its operation of The Seattle Preschool at its Lake City and Columbia City locations, a licensed preschool program where children enjoy gymnastics and dance every day.

Conveniently located next to PCC in the Five Points area, SGA Burien brings SGA’s well-established gymnastics curriculum and coaching philosophy to south King County families in a 13,300 square foot facility that includes indoor playground programming, adult fitness classes, and the full range of SGA recreational and play programming.

All foam is flame-retardant-free. The facility also offers an Indoor Playground program for children ages 0 through 36 months, providing a structured and safe early movement environment for the youngest visitors.
