Gym Wheel Classes
Gym Wheel, also known as Rhonrad, is a unique gymnastics discipline that combines movement, balance, and acrobatics using a large wheel. With origins in Germany, it’s not only a fun sport but also an effective full-body workout that builds strength, flexibility, and confidence. And now, it’s available right here on the Gold Coast at Flipz Academy!
Let’s take a closer look at what makes this program so special—and why you should join us on this incredible new journey.

Gym Wheel for Teens (Ages 10–13): Tricks, Teamwork, and New Skills
Class Time: Fridays, 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Cost: $26.80 per session
Older kids are ready for a bigger challenge—and our Gym Wheel Teens class delivers just that.

This class is perfect for building muscle, mastering tricks, and improving discipline. It’s also a great way for tweens to develop trust and communication skills as they work together in pairs and teams. Whether your child is already active in gymnastics or simply looking for a fun new hobby, Gym Wheel Teens offers a fresh take on fitness.
Key Highlights:
- Introduction to Cyr Wheel (a bonus challenge!)
- Promotes teamwork and focus
- Improves upper and lower body strength
- Helps develop physical literacy
- A unique and fun way to stay active after school
Cyr Wheel for Adults (Ages 14+): Spin Into Something Spectacular
The main difference the between Cyr Wheel and the Gym (German) Wheel lies in their structure and movement style:
-
The Cyr Wheel, also known as a mono wheel, is a single large ring with no handles. The performer stands inside and controls the spinning with body movement alone, creating smooth, flowing rotations and elegant acrobatics.
- The German Wheel has two parallel rings connected by crossbars and handles. It allows the performer to do flips, spins, and acrobatic tricks while being securely positioned inside.
Class Time: Fridays, 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Cost: $26.80 per session
If you’ve ever seen a graceful, spinning performer at a circus or dance show, chances are they were using a Cyr Wheel. This incredible apparatus allows a single performer to spin, swirl, and glide across the floor in elegant and powerful motions. Now, you don’t need to join the circus to try it!
Our Cyr Wheel class is for adults and teens aged 14+ who want to explore this dynamic form of movement. It’s part dance, part acrobatics, and fully captivating. You’ll learn the foundations of control, momentum, and balance while gradually building to more complex spins and flows.
Why You’ll Love Cyr Wheel:
- A visually stunning form of fitness
- Builds strength and coordination
- Great for dancers, gymnasts, or anyone seeking a challenge
- Helps improve posture, balance, and endurance
- Fun, rewarding, and totally unique
No prior experience is needed—just a willingness to try something new and a sense of adventure.
