Our Facility
Welcome to our brand-new facility! Our lobby is the central hub of our gym and will have everything you need for a great experience at Pennsylvania All-Stars. Natural light fills the space thanks to our massive front and side windows. The lobby's open floor plan gives clear views of the gym space, ideal for parent viewing. We love our gym space and hope you will too!
When designing our gym space, we focused heavily on efficiency. With 3,700 sq. ft. of connected spring floor, our gym can host multiple classes and teams with ample space for everyone. Our 18-panel layout allows us to work with multiple teams, and there is no need to share the floor. Additionally, we have an abundance of mats and tumbling surfaces for athletes to utilize as they progress into advanced skills.
