Tx3 is Elemental 5's dedicated trampoline and tumbling program. Where NinFit splits time between parkour and tumbling, Tx3 puts every minute into flipping — trampoline, tumble track, and spring floor, every class.
It's built for the kid who finishes NinFit and still wants more. Or the kid who showed up for the first time and already knows exactly where they belong. No prior experience required — just the drive to get better at moving through the air.
Tx3 runs at 5:30pm alongside our aerial program, open to athletes ages 5–12 at any skill level.
Tricking is what happens when standard tumbling leaves the straight line. Where a front flip rotates forward on a clean axis, tricking takes that same rotation and twists it, angles it, combines it with kicks and spins into something entirely its own.
It's not a replacement for tumbling — it's an extension of it. That's why sharp tumbling foundations come first, always. You can't trick well without knowing how to tumble well.
In Tx3 we introduce the entry points — butterflies, cheat gainers, basic kicks. Creative movement for athletes who have earned the right to play with it.
Tx3's tricking curriculum will deepen significantly when we open our new facility. The new gym is being built for this. Getting in now means being part of that culture from the beginning.
Tx3 runs on the same 8-week training cycle as NinFit. The structure is familiar — a focused opener, then rotation through the apparatus. The difference is every minute goes into flipping.
Every class opens with a structured warm up on the tumble track — shape jumps, rolls, and a cartwheel on every pass. The same sequence every week. Consistent, predictable, never optional.
The bulk of the class is dedicated drilling — front flip foundations, back flip foundations, front handspring, back handspring, and tumbling application weeks rotating across the 8-week cycle. This is where the work gets done.
Trampoline and apparatus work — sequences, drops, shapes, and for ready athletes, tricking entry points. Students reference the wall sign for their tramp sequence. Coaches manage flow and coach quality.
Every class closes with an intentional conversation built around the Five Elements character framework. The physical training has purpose behind it — this is where that gets named.
Five minutes of unstructured time to work on what they love. No agenda, no coaching pressure. Just athletes and the floor.
Both programs use the same training rhythm and share the same tumbling curriculum. The difference is what else is in the class — and who it's built for.
Tx3 is open to athletes ages 5–12 at any skill level. Classes run weekly at 5:30pm. If your kid can't stop flipping, this is their class.
Does my child need to be in NinFit to join Tx3?
No. Tx3 is open enrollment — any athlete ages 5–12 can join regardless of whether they're in NinFit. That said, many Tx3 athletes are NinFit students who want a second class dedicated entirely to flipping.
What is tricking exactly?
Tricking is the art of taking standard tumbling skills off their normal axis — combining flips, kicks, and spins into expressive, creative movement. Think of it as what happens when a front flip meets martial arts kicks and freestyle gymnastics. In Tx3 we introduce the entry-level foundations for athletes who are ready for it.
My child has no experience. Can they still join?
Absolutely. Tx3 starts from the foundations and builds from there. If your child loves jumping, flipping, and moving through the air — they're ready for Tx3.
How is Tx3 different from a gymnastics class?
Tx3 isn't aligned with USAG or competitive gymnastics standards. It's E5's own T&T program — structured and progressive, but built around our training philosophy rather than a competitive track. The goal is developing powerful, creative athletes, not gymnasts on a competition path.
Can my child do both NinFit and Tx3?
Yes — and many of our athletes do. NinFit at 4:30 covers the full program including parkour. Tx3 at 5:30 gives them an extra hour of dedicated tumbling and trampoline. The two classes complement each other well.
