Future Flipz

Future Flipz has been teaching gymnastics out of its facility on Coachman Plaza Drive in Clearwater since 2002, which places it among the more established youth gymnastics programs in the area, predating many of the corporate-owned gym franchises that have since opened around Tampa Bay. The Florida corporation behind the business, Future Flipz Inc, remains active and independently owned, and the gym has kept its focus specifically on children’s programming rather than expanding into adult fitness or other unrelated services.

The class structure covers a wide age and skill range, starting with preschool gymnastics for the youngest kids and moving through recreational boy and girl programs, dedicated girls team gymnastics, and a separate boys team track. Trampoline and tumbling classes run alongside the core gymnastics curriculum for kids who want to focus specifically on tumbling passes and aerial awareness rather than the full apparatus rotation. Individual lessons are available for students who want one-on-one coaching time, whether to work on a specific skill that is holding them back at their current level or to prepare for a team tryout.

Beyond regular classes, Future Flipz runs an after-school pickup program that brings kids directly from nearby schools into gymnastics class without parents needing to arrange a separate drop-off, along with open gym sessions where kids can practice independently in a supervised setting outside of structured class time. Birthday parties and school break camps round out the facility’s offerings, using the same equipment, foam pits, and trampolines that team athletes train on during the week.

The gym is open Monday through Friday from nine in the morning until eight thirty at night to cover both daytime preschool classes and evening sessions for school-age kids, with Saturday hours from nine until one in the afternoon; Sundays are reserved for private events rather than regular classes. That schedule reflects a program built around working families, with class blocks spread across the day rather than clustered only in the after-school window most gyms rely on.

For a facility that has been in the same general part of Clearwater for more than two decades, Future Flipz has built a program that spans a child’s entire path through the sport, from a toddler’s first tumbling class through competitive team gymnastics, without needing to send families elsewhere as kids get older or more serious about the sport. That continuity, along with the range of trampoline and tumbling options for kids who want gymnastics-adjacent conditioning without committing to a full team schedule, is what distinguishes Future Flipz from some of the newer, narrower gym programs that have opened around Pinellas County in recent years.
