Hart’s Gymnastics Center has a new, spacious home in Kent.

David and Debbie Hart, owners and operators, recently opened a state-of-the-art facility at 26415 79th Ave. S. The new center is larger than its previous Auburn location at more than 13,500 square feet.

“We love it. It’s a great place,” said Debbie Hart during last Saturday’s open house celebration.

Hart’s serves 250 young gymnasts, from 16 months old to high school ages. Of the 250 gymnasts, 50 belong to the center’s highly successful competitive team.

David Hart, a former NCAA gymnast with 10 years of competitive experience and 25 years of coaching experience, leads a seasoned staff.

The center offers classes for all ages and abilities – from preschool through adult recreational and competitive gymnastics – as well as camps and birthday party opportunities for boys and girls.
