More and more gymnastics facilities are upgrading to a Bagjump inground Airpit  or standalone Airpit, and here we showcase some of the coolest ones in the US. 

Gymnastics is evolving. Elite skills are becoming more complex, preparation is reaching new levels, and facilities worldwide are striving to acquire the best equipment available on the market. Over the past few years, we have observed a significant shift from foam pits to airbags. Today, having at least one airbag in a gymnastics facility is the minimum standard for athletes to train comfortably and at the highest level. 

We have seen Bagjump airbags used as a gymnastics foam pit replacement for tumbling, vault, bars, and trampolines. In this article, we highlight some of the best facilities incorporating a Bagjump airbag into their training programs. 

Flat Head Gymnastics Academy – Kalispell, Montana 

This facility is home to one of the largest Bagjump inground airpits we have ever installed. In this massive airbag setup, athletes of all ages practice tumbling, rod floors, trampoline, and vault. 

In our opinion, this is one of the most advanced airbag setups found in a gymnastics studio, and athletes make the most of training with it. The airbag has been in use at Flathead Gymnastics for around five years, significantly impacting the development of their athletes. 

Athletes training at Flathead Gymnastics can use our Bagjump airbag to focus on perfecting their landings, reducing floor impact, and building the confidence they need to reach the highest level. 

Beyond the Bagjump, this academy in Montana offers a range of programs for all ages and skill levels.

Artistic Sports Academy Plus (ASAP) Gym – Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 

With an inground airpit installed in 2023, ASAP Gym features one of the coolest airbag installations we have done in recent years. Here, athletes primarily train on bars, rod floors, trampolines, and vault. 

This airbag has helped athletes achieve more consistent landings, train in a safer environment, and progress their skills more smoothly. Athletes at ASAP Gym can push their limits with a higher number of repetitions and track their progress over time. 

For those visiting ASAP Gym, you can expect a dedicated and professional team offering various gymnastics programs. From recreational classes to competitive teams, the facility ensures that athletes at all levels can maximize their potential.

Park Avenue Gym – Cooper City, Florida 

Unlike the previous facilities in this article, Park Avenue Gym in Florida is the first on the list to have two inground Bagjump airpits. Interestingly, each airbag serves a different purpose, demonstrating the versatility of our products. 

One airpit is used as a resi pit replacement, a smaller and more compact airbag for tumbling drills. The other, larger airpit is designed for various gymnastics events such as vault, tumbling, trampoline, and rings. 

These airbags have also been a game-changer for Park Avenue Gym, allowing athletes to perform drills with less fatigue and greater confidence. 

Park Avenue Gym is a great example of how facilities are transitioning to Bagjump. Even though the gymnastics studio was established in 1985, they only upgraded to a Bagjump a few years ago.

Cartwheels Gymnastics – Clifton Park, NY 

This is the newest Bagjump addition on our list. For Cartwheels Gymnastics in New York, we installed three Bagjump inground airpits. This is one of the most exciting installations we have in the US, as each airbag serves a completely different purpose. 

One is used for their recreation center, the second is dedicated exclusively to their competitive team, and the third is for their youth academy. Since our airbags can be easily adapted to the athlete’s experience level, having separate airbags for each level was a smart decision.

Wright’s Gymnastics – Scottsdale, Arizona 

Athletes at Wright’s Gymnastics benefit not only from having an inground airpit but also from a second standalone gymnastics airpit. Installed in 2024, the two Bagjump airbags are primarily used for bars, tumbling, and vault training. 

The combination of a larger inground airpit for traditional gymnastics and a standalone option allows the gym to provide the facilities that athletes at different levels need to reach peak performance. 

Wright’s Gymnastics offers programs ranging from developmental classes for young athletes to competitive teams. Learn more by visiting their website. 

The Tumble Club – Burleson, Texas 

In the southern US, The Tumble Club features a gymnastics airpit that has been providing athletes with a safer environment to improve their skills for several years. Athletes training at The Tumble Club can choose from a variety of programs, including power tumbling, cheer prep, and open gym sessions. 

Having a Bagjump airbag at their facility has also helped athletes progress from a beginner level to their maximum potential. With an airbag in-house, athletes feel more comfortable trying bolder and more complex moves before transitioning to the hard ground. 

Visit The Tumble Club’s website to find out why it is one of our favorite gymnastics facilities in the US. 

Athlete’s in Motion – Prairieville, Louisiana 

Not all gymnastics facilities focus solely on standard gymnastics disciplines. At Athlete’s in Motion, an inground airpit is integrated into their Ninja Warrior course. 

This setup allows athletes to train more safely while improving coordination, confidence, and landing control. 

Athlete’s in Motion also offers tumbling, gymnastics, and training camps. Visit their website to learn more. 

Each of these facilities has chosen Bagjump airbags to improve training efficiency, enhance safety, and boost athlete confidence. We have also noticed that gymnastics facilities increasingly value the customized top sheets Bagjump offers, leading to some amazing and creative designs.
