Long known as a top-notch institution for adult gymnastics and circus arts, AcroSports also offers a variety of gym classes and physical activities for the kids.

Classes fill up quickly, so sign on early and mash up any chance of couch potatoes in your home."

Best Place to Get Twisted
"Some athletic pursuits are easier than others.Want to learn to throw a football? You hit the park with your dad. Dying to try yoga? There were, at last count, more than three million studios in the city to choose from. But if you or someone in your life wants to do something slightly less common, like, say, mastering the high-flying trapeze or the finer points of contortion, the options are few and far between. One of the best, however, is AcroSports, an SF nonprofit that teaches circus arts, acrobatics, and aerial performance. This would be the place to learn to walk a tightrope, twist and flip on a trampoline, and learn moves that’ll leave you feeling like Cirque du Soleil is child’s play. Instruction is available for everyone from pint-size 18-month-old aspiring gymnasts on up to adults, and classes range from beginning tumbling to circus arts, from capoeira to acrobatic dance. For those who’d rather watch the magic happen than be a part of it, the organization’s City Circus troupe performs regularly at venues throughout the city."
