Mission Statement
At Airdrie Edge Gymnastics, we support families, club, and community uniting to support athletes in their endeavour to exceed expectations in sport and in life.
Fundraising
Airdrie Edge Gymnastics is a not-for-profit organization, which depends on its fundraising campaigns to balance its operating budget and maintain program fees at a reasonable level. Fundraising helps the gymnasts train in a safe and clean gym and also makes sure classes are as affordable as possible.
Bottle Drives: Our competitive athletes do bottle drives throughout the year in Airdrie. Keep an eye out for the next date. Bottles can also be brought to a designated drop-off location if you would like to help.

Club History
Airdrie Edge Gymnastics is a not-for-profit organization, which was incorporated in 1987. It also became a member of the Alberta Gymnastics Federation (AGF) in the same year.
In the early years, the club rented space from local schools and would set up the equipment and take it down daily. Due to the success of its programs and with the growth of the local population in and around the City of Airdrie, it was able to move to its former 6,000 square foot facility in the Twin Arenas in 1991. That move to a permanent facility was a major factor in the growth of the club over the next 18 years until the club’s success caused it to eventually outgrow that building. Today the club leases a much larger (24,000 square foot) custom-built facility located at Genesis Place, where it moved at the end of 2009.
Airdrie Edge also offers three competitive programs: Trampoline & Tumbling (T&T), Women’s Artistic Gymnastics (WAG), and Competitive Parkour and Freerunning (PKFR), all of which are offered on a year-round basis. All three programs have enjoyed a measure of success in recent years with athletes in the Women’s Artistic Gymnastics program competing regionally and provincially and several having qualified to compete at the Provincial Championships over the past few years. The PKFR athletes compete at a national level in a sport that has just recently grown large enough in popularity to be inducted into the 2022 World Games. The Trampoline & Tumbling program athletes compete at provincial, national, and international levels, with increasing numbers qualifying to represent Alberta at the Western Canada Cup and the Canadian National Championships.
The Trampoline and Tumbling program has also had several athletes representing Canada on both the senior and youth teams at World Championships, World Cups, and World Age Group Championships since 2001. In 2010 Corissa Boychuk won the World Championship for Women’s Double Mini Trampoline in Metz, France.
Today the club continues to grow and be successful in its mission of providing high quality gymnastics experiences to its more than 1,000 members.
