About Us

Fun Fitness for
Little Ones

We have been in business for over 30 years. The GYM BUS is a unique and innovative way to teach gymnastics, physical fitness and sports to young children between the ages of ‘able to walk’ and six years old. Our class size is usually between 6 – 10 students and each class is 30 minutes in length. Our buses have been converted into mini-gyms, thus creating a very safe and conducive learning environment. We bring a bus full of equipment each week to your school and teach inside the bus. We teach weekly classes continuously throughout the entire year. We do not transport the children.

What Parents Say About Gymnastic Express

I appreciate your hard work and customer service. My daughter is so happy with Gym Bus and getting a stamp on her arm every Friday. She is excited going to school more than before… Thanks for your awesome activity.

The kiddos here at Countryside absolutely love Gym Bus! They are always super excited to see you walk through their classroom door! Their little faces just light up. You are so patient, kind, and caring to each and everyone of them. We appreciate you so much and look forward to seeing you each week. Thanks for all you do!

Lorriane From Director at CCDC

We love gym bus and its one of Emilia's favorite things at daycare!

Spencer From The Learning Experience

I just wanted to let you know how much he has truly loved his time with Gym Bus, it is something he is so excited for each week and is so sad to have to say goodbye to. Luckily we still have 2 younger kids enrolled so they still get to enjoy it but you all do such a wonderful job and we are so thankful for your program.

He’s our big little ray of sunshine and we’re glad that’s reflective outside our home too. Gym Bus is definitely something he looks forward to every week and talks about all evening long after your visit. He loves to “present” at home after he shows us a new skill he’s learned 🙂 Thank you for providing such an incredible opportunity for him! We’re sad to hear you’re not at Primrose LS but will be more than happy to pass your info along. We’ll be the first on the list to sign up if you do come over!
