About Us

With over 35 years in the gymnastics school industry, owner Bruce Elwood saw the need to launch a new focused Gymnastics and Parkour/Ninja facility in central Chilliwack. Fraser Valley Gymnastix (previously Wayland Sports Chilliwack) was taken over by Kelowna Gymnastix Inc. (aka KG), August, 2020.

In addition to offering gymnastics instruction and Xcel teams, Fraser Valley Gymnastix has teamed up with Ambition Parkour and the Ninja Fitness Academy in the fast growing sport of Parkour/Ninja, adding an additional 5,000 sq foot of dedicated space to this expanding sport (which is on track to be added to future Olympic Games!)

There are approximately 15 staff currently. All instructors are Gymnastics BC trained and Fraser Valley Gymnastix maintains its good standing with this governing body of gymnastics in British Columbia.

In addition to offering quality instruction in gymnastics, tumbling, and parkour, FVG offers birthday parties and group events.

You can contact the Customer Administration Team (info@fvgym.ca) to inquire about a free trial class at 120-44981 Commercial Court, Chilliwack.

About Bruce Elwood

Bruce has been coaching gymnastics for over 30 years. He started competing in high school and went on to Portland State University on a gymnastics scholarship. He has had the privilege of attending numerous camps and coaching clinics with some of the worlds greatest gymnastics technicians. Bruce went into coaching boy’s gymnastics teams in Oregon and in 1990 started his own club with a friend, the Metro Gymnastics Center in Tualatin, OR. It quickly grew to 15 staff and over 800 students.

In 1996 Bruce moved with his wife and family to Kelowna, BC- and shortly thereafter became a Canadian citizen. He has continued to coach recreational classes in the Kelowna area, preferring the recreational focus over the demands of a competitive program.

Our Team

The other members of our team are dynamic individuals who have the ability to connect and engage participants in a safe, fun and respectful way. We believe that natural connection and engagement with children is a gift but the ability to coach can be taught.

The Fraser Valley Gymnastix team believes in “growing” the whole athlete. This includes not only gymnastics skills but self confidence, a sense of accomplishment, social skills, team building and the value of trust & support.
