The USA Gymnastics Fitness Program provides a year-round fitness curriculum designed for gymnastics clubs, physical education classes, and group fitness settings. It may be implemented as a standalone program or integrated into existing classes or camps. Built around core gymnastics movements and the fundamental components of fitness -cardiovascular endurance, movement, strength, flexibility, and nutrition - the program offers three progressive levels: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. The exercises are designed to support children at all fitness levels, from recreational participants to team athletes, allowing them to advance based on individual development.
The Fitness Program Administrator’s Handbook, which may be used during the open-book exam, includes detailed exercise progressions with linked instructional videos, movement and flexibility training, strength development guidance, nutrition resources, and supplemental materials such as logs and activity sheets to support implementation and tracking.
