About Us

Cartwheel Club is locally owned by Monika Bergander and Bethany Lawrence — Madison natives, former competitive gymnasts, and now moms of young children.

After returning to their hometown with their families and spending more than 20 years building careers in the corporate world, they created Cartwheel Club to bring fun, approachable gymnastics to children and families along the Connecticut shoreline.

What we believe

Every child belongs

A welcoming space where children feel included, supported, and encouraged.

Small groups, real coaching

Small class sizes mean more turns, more attention and more progress for each gymnast.

Confidence over competition

We celebrate effort and progress. Skills follow — and so does a love of being active.

Coming Winter 2026!
