When kids catch the gymnastics bug, symptoms include trampolining on the couch and mounting the coffee table like a pommel horse.

Remedy the situation at the North Side’s IK Gymnastics. The just-opened facility gives tots a place to jump, swing, dance, and balance under the supervision of a pro — namely owner Irina Kudina, a former member of the Soviet Junior Olympic Team and World Champion in sports acrobatics.

Kids ages 3 to 5 hone agility and increase strength in energetic ways. In Obstacle Adventures, they’re schooled in the basics (floor, beams, vault, bars). For faster action, Turbo Kids goes full blast with training on a Turbo Trak, trampoline, and Air Track.

The facility’s most rabid participants are tweens and teens (hello, Olympic hopefuls). Still, laid-back parent-and-tot classes (baby movement and toddler tumbling) give the entire family a solid dose of fun.

We’re head over heels.

IK Gymnastics, 2630b West Bradley Place, at Talman Avenue (773-604-4541 or ikgym.com). Monthlong sessions start at $25 per child (prorated rates apply if you sign up midmonth).
