About Fable
  • So what makes Twist'N Flip the right fit?

    Our mission is to Educate, Enrich, and Inspire every child that walks through our doors...all while having a ton of fun!

    If you want your child to be consistently challenged, this is the place for you! If you want your child to learn the basics of gymnastics, this is the program for you! If you want to develop your child’s self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-respect, Twist'N Flip is the best place for your child!
  • Not for gymnastics but for life!

    Our philosophy is that gymnastics is the ultimate sport for teaching children that exercising and staying fit can be lots of fun! The basics of gymnastics will benefit our students throughout elementary and high school...even beyond that; indeed, for their lifetime! Balance, strength, coordination, flexibility are the physical benefits. And don’t forget the mental aspects; overcoming fears, goal setting and sense of accomplishment, and social skills!
  • We've had the honor of serving the Capital Region for 20 years!

    Twist'N Flip is owned by Ron & Jodi Barnes. In 2005, Ron began the gymnastics program on Saturday mornings to create side income as a stay at home Dad of 3 kids. Initially, the program was held in a small room of a local fitness gym, but the popularity of the class quickly necessitated a larger space. By September 2006, classes were being offered 6 days a week. Fast forward two decades, and we are proud to have opened the doors to 4 awesome gymnastics locations, all based on the Twist'N Flip philosophy. Our most recent gym in Cobleskill opened in 2020, with more to come.
