TURNE Labo: A New Gymnastics Hub for Kids in Ayase, Tokyo
On September 1st, 2026, a fresh and innovative children's gymnastics school,
TURNE Labo, opened its doors in
Ayase, Tokyo, under the auspices of
INNOBLOOM Co., Ltd. Founded by
Yurika Yamamoto, the school aims to cultivate the physical abilities of children aged 3 to 12. The curriculum is supervised by Dr.
Yuki Sato, a well-regarded expert in sports science and advisor at Waseda University.
Tailored Coaching Approach
In a world where many parents worry about their children's athletic abilities, TURNE Labo stands out by creating a nurturing environment specifically designed for children who may struggle with sports. The philosophy of TURNE Labo is that every child has unique challenges when it comes to physical education. Rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach, the school focuses on individualized learning paths that cater to each child's strengths and weaknesses. For instance, the reason a child might find a forward roll challenging can vary significantly from one child to another.
At TURNE Labo, instructors pay close attention to their students, fostering growth through careful observation and customized feedback. Classes are intentionally kept small, with only 4 to 8 students allowed per session, ensuring that every child receives the attention they deserve.
Key Features of TURNE Labo
1.
Small Class Sizes: With a limit of 4 to 8 students per class, instructors can give personalized attention and instruction.
2.
Individualized Progress Tracking: Each child maintains a developmental record that summarizes their growth across key disciplines such as mats, bars, and vaults, assessed four times a year. Parents can easily visualize their child's improvements through a ranking system.
3.
Expert-Designed Curriculum: Under the supervision of Dr. Yuki Sato, the curriculum incorporates scientific principles for effective learning, promoting a well-rounded physical education philosophy.
