Seattle Gymnastics Academy (Lake City)

OVERVIEW

Seattle Gymnastics Academy Lake City is SGA’s largest campus, operating from two adjacent facilities totaling 26,000 square feet in the Lake City neighborhood of Seattle. 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.

The Lake City campus is home to The Seattle Preschool at its 28th Avenue facility, providing an early childhood education experience that incorporates gymnastics and dance into daily programming for enrolled preschool children. The two-building campus allows SGA Lake City to serve the broadest range of class times and program types of any SGA location.

THE GYM

SGA Lake City operates across two adjacent locations: 12535 26th Avenue NE and 12739 28th Avenue NE in Seattle, Washington, totaling 26,000 square feet of gymnastics and early childhood programming space. Both facilities feature professional gymnastics apparatus, in-ground trampolines, foam pits, and Tumbl Trak surfaces, with flame retardant-free foam throughout.
