 At what age should people start thinking about getting their kids started in gymnastics or in cheerleading? We start with crawling, and you're free if you're crawling up until you're one years old. A lot of kids have actually learned how to walk in our facility. And my three-all me is three years old to four years old, and they're in a class by themselves, and they are awesome. Well, the other end of the question would be, how old can somebody be and still learn gymnastics?
