Our Story, Passion and Precision
Where passion meets precision—and kids rise because of it
Ripon Youth Center was created from a simple but powerful belief: young people thrive when creativity, movement, and mentorship are treated with equal importance—and delivered with intention.
We are not a drop-off program.
We are not a one-size-fits-all activity center.
We are a space where kids are seen, guided, challenged, and celebrated.
GymnaSTICs
Building strength, confidence, and skill—one athlete at a time.
Our gymnastics program is designed to support athletes at every stage, from beginners learning the basics to more advanced gymnasts refining technique and strength. Classes focus on safe skill progression, body awareness, confidence, and a love of movement in a positive, encouraging environment.

Ballet Barre
Graceful strength. Intentional movement. A stronger you.
Adult Ballet Barre is a low-impact, technique-driven class that blends classical ballet fundamentals with functional strength, balance, and flexibility. Designed specifically for adults, this class focuses on alignment, posture, core engagement, and controlled movement—without choreography, performance pressure, or prior dance experience required.
Using the ballet barre as a foundation, participants move through structured exercises that strengthen the legs, glutes, and core while improving mobility, balance, and body awareness. The pace is mindful and empowering, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced movers.
MOB
Mindful Optimal Movement.
MOB is your movement philosophy and program built around the idea that how we move matters as much as how often we move. It emphasizes intentional, intelligent, body-aware movement that supports long-term strength, ease, and sustainability rather than punishment, overtraining, or aesthetics-only fitness.
At its core, MOB is about:
-
Moving with awareness, alignment, and purpose
-
Building strength without disconnecting from the body
-
Supporting joints, nervous system regulation, and longevity
-
Creating a relationship of ease with movement rather than force
-
Letting movement feel grounding, empowering, and integrated into real life
