The Foundations of Adaptive Gymnastics Step-by-Step Guide to Sensory Sessions

Want to make your gym more inclusive—but not ready to dive into a full adaptive program just yet?

This is the #1 program to start with.

Sensory Sessions are the easiest, most effective way for gyms to “dip their toes in” to adaptive programming.

They don’t require extra certifications, a big staff, or a huge budget—just a smart plan and a willingness to open your doors.

This guide gives you that plan. Inside, you’ll find:

✅ A simple step-by-step framework for running successful Sensory Sessions

✅ Setup and safety checklists that make it easy for staff to follow

✅ Parent-facing marketing templates to fill your sessions without extra work

✅ Guidance on how Sensory Sessions can grow into full adaptive programs over time

With this resource, you’ll be able to:

✨ Offer adaptive programming without overwhelming your staff

✨ Attract new families who are actively looking for gyms that “get it”

✨ Build trust in your community while testing what works for your gym

✨ Create an income stream that can fund bigger adaptive program growth later

Whether you’re a gym owner who doesn’t have the staff yet for full adaptive classes, or a coach who wants to start small without spending thousands, this guide is your bridge into adaptive gymnastics.
