Hawai'i Academy

Hawai'i Academy, a private school for the advancement of lifetime fitness, gymnastics, and human sciences for ALL ages and ALL abilities welcomes you to this website. Our Academy promotes programs that motivate participants to better understand the importance of maintaining one's health, fitness, and wellness throughout life.

For PE/Recreation trampoline, tumbling, gymnastics, fitness, dance, and cheer classes, please see available recreation class times. If you are free trial class. If you are interested in competitive athletics, see our competitive team practice schedules and 2009 Competition Schedule. All participants are required to complete a registration form. Each year we host three competitions, two slumber parties, and weekly Friday Fun Nights (once monthly this event is called called Parents' Night Out) and they are open to all Academy members, their friends, their neighbors,... everyone.

Located in Honolulu, on the Island of Oahu, we have over 1100 students ranging in age from 1-97 years with 55 part-time employees. Our organizational chart is like that of a university with eight departments, the largest being Physical Education & Recreation (e.g., recreational trampoline-tumbling and gymnastics programs serve 87% of our students). The Athletics (Sports) Department (<3% of the total enrollment) has seven competitive team programs in Trampoline-Tumbling (state, junior, high school, college, adult, seniors, and elite). About 10% of our students and personnel are in the departments for Research, Clinical Services, Academic Instruction, Special Events & Programs, Development, and Business Operations. Also see our Products for Sale, and Hawaii Sports Links.

Unlike most other fitness schools (anywhere), we emphasize multi-generational participation. The Academy serves as a second home for the family ... as a place that promotes exercise throughout life, for each generation, in a safe environment that facilitates cooperation, group and individual motivation, determination, respect, and well-being. By promoting adult and senior participation, children today see themselves as future active adults. We have a broad range of adult programs (fitness, trampoline, tumbling, dance, martial arts, & circus skills) and two seniors (60+ yrs) fitness classes. We have had two year old to 97 year old state champions on the trampoline and several four-generation families competing in our meets. We have remedial classes for special needs populations and training programs for world class athletes. We provide educationally challenging and fun activities for ALL ages and abilities with gender equality. [See benefits of participation in gymnastics programs.] We aspire to achieve excellence in our programs. But more important than rapid skill achievement is breadth of application and development of personal values and training attitudes that transfer across endeavors throughout one's life.

The Academy is unique in showcasing gymnastics in later life. With 70 students over 70 years of age, five in their 90s, and many of them competing in trampoline meets, it has very inspiring senior students (great grandparents). With about two seniors dying per year there are many family stories of doing gymnastics right to the end of their life (or becoming a competitive athletes in the last ten years of their life). There are many three and four generation families exercising together, some for the past decade.

The Academy aspires to serve students of ALL ages and ALL abilities. Try a lesson today (phone 842.5642 for a convenient time).
