Never Give Up

Writer: Kim DeMadoKim DeMado

I shared the closing of our Marginal Way TJF gym a year ago and moving into World Gym in 2022. It was a perfect landing after being shut down during the pandemic, and crazy how fast it grew to over 12 classes a week. However, last night was our last class in World Gym, and we moved everything to our garage for now.


I'll never forget the first weekend we opened, March 3, 2012. Hundreds of families came to learn about Tumble Tikes. We wanted to create a space where kids and parents could meet, play, celebrate milestones, and be active collectively.


Over the past 11+ years, we have taught thousands of clients and classes, hosted hundreds of birthday parties, and made lasting friendships we will never forget as Triple Jump at Marginal Way comes to a close in 2022 and again last night at World Gym.


Over the past two months, the outpour of people has been overwhelming as we finished up in the empty gym. But, looking back over the years, we know that TJF was a part of many. Winston Churchill said, "You make a living by what you earn; you make a life by what you give."


Our goal has always been to make a living and give back to inspire, educate and motivate others to be more vital and active. Thank you to all those that came to Tumble Tikes this past year and supported us even in the most challenging times.


It's NOT goodbye...it's see you later!


Let NEW adventures begin! We plan to move to yet another NEW location and are excited to share it with you ALL very soon! For the summer, we have been teaching classes outside at Payson Park. It has been extremely challenging with all this rain.



Life can be challenging. The key is to have patience. All things are difficult before they become easy, and NEVER GIVE UP!
