Gymnastics facility moves to Hoover

In September, Premier Gymnastics will move to a newly renovated 36,000-square-foot building in Hoover from its current Vestavia location. The company will be taking over the former SportPlex building on Lorna Road.

Premier Gymnastics Academy, Inc. is owned and operated by Sheryl Dundas Thienpont, who has been actively involved in gymnastics for more than 30 years. Originally from Austin, Texas, she was a 5-year member of the USA National Gymnastics Team.

The new center will feature several amenities that the old location in Vestavia did not have room to offer. There will be a separate lobby and gym for younger children so equipment can be sized specifically for them and allow for fewer distractions.

Older children will have a tumbling gym, loose foam pit, and balance beam and bars gym with double the equipment of the former space.

The company also looks forward to offering dance classes, cheer classes, a mom’s day out program and an outdoor pool. An indoor walking track, a lobby that is twice the current size, and nearly 100 parking spaces complete the list of new amenities.
