Payke Gymnastics Academy offers classes in all Olympic gymnastics events from beginner to competitive levels for boys and girls ages two and older.
Payke Gymnastics Academy was first opened in March of 1994 in South Pasadena, California by Parvin Peik. Twenty + years later we have two facilities with growing recreational programs and the Mobile Gymnastics Group serving schools with after school programs. Parvin was a National Champion in Iran and has been teaching gymnastics in the U.S. for the last 30 + years. By the time she was 16 Parvin had traveled across the Middle East, Europe and Russia in international gymnastics competitions. Peik even earned third place in line to compete in the 1964 summer Olympics in Tokyo. She graduated with a major in child development from Pacific Oaks University in Pasadena.
The South Pasadena location is home to a 20 + year old award winning Woman’s Team. The Alhambra location is home to a 15 + year old award winning Men's Team. The best Men's Program in the San Gabriel Valley and one of the best in the nation. Our team is a family and always has been that’s what sets us apart. We have spent over 20 years creating our unique style and have enjoyed watching thousands of little gymnasts blossom into successful and happy people.
