Aerials Gymnastic Centers

Aerials Gymnastics began in 1983 from the inspiration of Tom and Lori Forster. Both Tom and Lori graduated from Mitchell High School as gymnasts. Lori went on to the University of Northern Colorado and Tom went to Penn State on a gymnastics scholarship. They reconnected during their college years and got married in 1980. They moved back to Colorado Springs and through a series of events, had the opportunity to start their own gymnastics club, thus, Aerials was started.


Tom and Lori's first gym was a small warehouse near Doherty High School with 30 students. Their inspiring instruction quickly caught on and the club grew each year. Due to the growth of their program, they moved facilities four times before finally building their dream gym (North gym) in Briargate in 1999.


Over the years, more Aerials locations were opened in various parts of Colorado Springs to make gymnastics available to more children. Their goal has always been to motivate children to have an enthusiasm for physical activity that will remain for life. For the children that decide to compete in gymnastics, Aerials is committed to have a program that can handle every level of gymnast, from novice to Olympic hopeful.
