OUR STORY
WIMGYM, the West Island of Montreal Gymnastics Club, was founded in 1970. The club was established in Vaudreuil, where the original training facility was located at Cité des Jeunes High School. At that time, the club had approximately twelve (12) competitive athletes, along with a small group of recreational/pre-competitive participants. In 1980, due to the club's rapid growth, it opened its first permanent facility in Beaconsfield, with a secondary recreation center in Valois, Pointe-Claire. At that time, the club's activities included competitive gymnastics, serving 30 to 50 team members, and a developing recreational program at both facilities.
In 1996, both facilities were closed, and all WIMGYM activities were consolidated under one roof in a rented facility in the Beaconsfield Mall. From 1996 to 2008, WIMGYM continued to serve the West Island community with its ever-expanding recreational programs, alongside the success of its provincially and nationally recognized competitive team program. With continued expansion, we have been located in Kirkland since June 2021, and the club is increasingly making its mark at the provincial, national, and international competitive levels.
