Who We Are...

Now owned and operated by Vadym and his wife Tetiana, Monarchs continues its proud legacy as a happy place for kids and families — a space where children can move, grow, and thrive through the joy of gymnastics and active play. Together, they carry forward the Monarchs vision of inspiring confidence, strength, and community in every child who walks through the doors.

Originally founded in 1977 by a group of committed and devoted parents, Monarchs has long been a community leader in children’s physical fitness instruction.

By 1997, Monarchs was acquired by Yelena Urusova and Vitaly Urusov, when it was a single location in Agoura Hills, CA. An expansion in 2003 to a second location in Newbury Park established it as a mainstay of the Conejo Valley. Further growth led to MonarX Parkour Complex and Monarchs Mobile Gymnastics, both opening in 2012.

Today, Monarchs is dedicated to inspiring children to learn, grow, and succeed while having fun—whether at gymnastics, ninja, parkour, tumbling, cheer, camp, or a birthday party! Our mission remains the same: to cultivate a lifelong foundation of physical activity through body awareness, proper technique, and a love for fitness and community from childhood.
