Cypress Academy of Gymnastics

A FAMILY TRADITION SINCE 1982

What Parents say about us...

“It’s going to be a year since we had started with our girls here and they both loved it! Since diapers’ class Tumbler tots to all the preschool and beyond classes, all the coaches are amazing, as well as the staff. Very grateful. And some friends have started to join us!”

Just wanted to spread the word about this gym, I absolutely love this place. This is a brand new Gym facility, the staff are super nice, they took their time to make sure all my questions were answered, the coaches are fantastic very knowledgeable, my daughter absolutely loves her coach. We are new to the area and we looked into a couple other places but none of them came closet to Cypress Academy. I would truly suggest this Gym

My daughter has been coming here since November, and we are genuinely so happy with the staff, cleanliness, and curriculum. She’s made many friends, and learned so much in the short amount of time coming here. The events they throw are fun and safe for kids of all ages, and I feel comfortable with my daughter’s safety in the hands of these trainers and coaches. The front desk staff are always so sweet and helpful, and the membership prices are amazing, and so worth it for kids who are passionate about their gymnastics! We will be coming here for the foreseeable future.
Kiwi O.Parent
We have been going to Cypress Academy for about 6 months now. We absolutely love it. My daughter tends to be on the shy side, and her coaches (David, and Anthony) have made her feel so comfortable while pushing her to step out of her comfort zone. She has progressed so much, it really is amazing. Every coach she has had has done amazing with her and I’m glad we found this place.
Jessica F.Parent
My kids attend ninja and gymnastics here, we had never done a birthday party though! The coaches (Hailey & Shelby) were phenomenal. So SO helpful, polite and very energetic! All of the kids that attended the birthday party had a blast (even the parents too) definitely one of the best places to have a bday party!
Alexus C.Parent
We’ve attended Cypress Academy at this location for years & have loved it through so many changes. The kids learn so many skills and have the best time every week. Coach Noel, Coach Thomas and Coach AJ rock it over on the ninja side – they keep the littles engaged and challenged during every class! Coach Cristi is like sunshine, she’s the absolute best at what she does! Cypress Academy hosts Parents Day Outs that coordinate with school holidays, it’s a godsend and they always have an incredible time and are completely worn out by pick up. We’ve had birthday parties there too, 10/10 would recommend – so simple to host, reasonably priced and it’s great fun for everyone who attends. All good things to say about this place!

WHO WE ARE

A Letter From the Owner

Cypress Academy was established in 1982 by my parents, Richard & Mary Ann Basham. While they didn’t know too much about gymnastics, they loved children and saw the positive impact that gymnastics was having on my sister, Laurie, and me. In the beginning, Cypress Academy was a 5,000 sq. ft. building on Huffmeister Road with just one of each Olympic apparatus and a single dance room on the second floor.

The rings hung from the ceiling over the 40′ x40′ floor exercise mat that seemed to take up the entire gym. In 1984, with the Los Angeles Olympics around the corner, my parents expanded the facility to 11,000 sq. ft. With the U.S. men’s and women’s successes, there was a great demand for gymnastics. As the business continued to prosper, they found themselves needing even more room. In 1992, they expanded to 15,000 sq. ft., and in 1995, expanded a final time to 30,000 sq. ft.

My father soon stepped out of the business in 1997 and fully retired by 2000. With his retirement, I was fortunate enough to purchase the family business. In the previous eighteen years, my parents poured their blood, sweat, and tears into Cypress Academy. Despite all the trials and tribulations, they never lost sight of the most important aspect of our business – the children.

My pledge to my customers, and to my mom & dad, is to carry on that vision. In 2000, I quickly pulled my father out of retirement to put on his general contracting hard hat. We first expanded the gym to 50,000 sq. ft. and in 2004 we made a final addition at the Huffmeister location bringing the facility to a grand total of 70,000 sq. ft. This location offers our customers All-Star cheerleading, tumbling, recreational and competitive gymnastics. (And as of 2020 – Ninja! Keep reading to learn more!)

It didn’t take long before we were back to the drawing board to create a brand-new facility just northwest of our main location on House & Hahl Road. This 40,000 sq. ft. gym is dedicated to recreational gymnastics and tumbling. We have enjoyed great success at this House & Hahl Road location growing very quickly and working with a very talented and ever-expanding staff. We have since opened our third location in The Woodlands area on Tamina Road in August 2018 and our fourth location in the Tomball area off Kuykendahl and Dowdell in August of 2020. Here Cypress Academy offers gymnastics and tumbling to countless children who we have the privilege of coaching to enable them to meet their fullest potential.

As mentioned above, in 2020 we also made some major updates to our Huffmeister location and opened our first Ninja Program to create Cypress Academy Ninja. This space dedicates 7,000 sq. ft. to our Ninjas with 2 incredible Ninja structures and 5 warped walls ranging from 6 ft. to the official 14’6″ competition height. Cypress Academy Ninja has been a fantastic addition to our Huffmeister location, offering Ninja Classes, birthday parties and various other events to children (and adults!) in the area.

After seeing the sport of Ninja take off, we opened our stand alone 27,000 sq ft state of the art Ninja Facility off Dowdell Road near our Kuykendahl Location. We have enjoyed watching the determination and passion from each and every person who walks through the door as they try to conquer new obstacles and can’t wait to watch this location grow.

We’ve got yet another location for both Cypress Academy, and Cypress Academy Ninja coming in late 2024 off of 99 and 529. Stay tuned for updates!

Please continue to follow our progress through our website and social media or stop by for a tour any time! We hope to see you soon in a free trial class or at an open gym.

Thank you for your patronage and support! Aaron Basham
