Metro Gymnastics History

Metro Gymnastics Center, based in Tigard, Oregon, was founded in March of 1990. That month Metro started out with approximately 60 students and has grown to over 1,100 students since that time. Metro has also grown from 11,000 square feet to 21,000 square foot facility. Metro offers a wide variety of gymnastics classes, team gymnastics programs, cheerleading coaching, and preschool programs. In addition, we offer dozens of events and activities including Birthday Parties, Family Nights, Parents Night Out, Play Days, Summer Camps, Mini-Nationals and Skill Clinics to name a few.

Metro Gymnastics recently received the honor of being designated as a Gold Medal Children’s Activity Center by the prestigious Character Counts!

The Owners

David & Cindy Klein are the owners and operators of Metro Gymnastics Center.

David was a competitive gymnast from 1974 – 1979 and has been a positive influence in the lives of many children for the past 22 years. He is currently the Men’s Region II Chairman and has served USA Gymnastics for the past 17 years. David is KAT certified, Level II Accredited, Safety Certified and has been a Professional Member since 1984. His love for children really comes through in his caring approach to teaching children of all ages and all abilities. He helps to set the standard by which all Metro’s employees are measured.

 

 

 

Cindy’s background actually came from anything but gymnastics. She earned her degree in Psychology from the University of Puget Sound and has been a teacher at Metro since 1995. Cindy is KAT certified; safety certified and is Director of Metro’s Mini Movers gymnastics program (with an enrollment of over 400 children). She also has a unique care and love for children, which makes her a model for the entire Metro Staff.
