The much anticipated Chautauqua Children’s Gym is now open. The gym celebrated their grand opening on Oct. 5 and welcomed the community with festivities and open gym time to celebrate their first official day in business. Owner Dawn Manzella opened the doors and welcomed hundreds of community members into her gym that was incredibly well received by the public.

The new gym features state of the art equipment including a mini rock climbing wall, a steam rolling ramp, climbing ladders, “mini trampolines,” a small zip line and a sensory room. Manzella believes all of these things will help children work on spacial awareness and relieving anxiety.
