About New Era Gymnastics
New Era Gymnastics owner Thomas Alberti started his gymnastics career on the monkey bars of his nursery school in the Bronx. He took lessons and competed through the late 70’s and early 80’s. After a back injury prevented him competing during college, he dedicated his life to not only teaching the best possible gymnastics, but to using gymnastics to teach the lessons of life necessary for success. Fifteen years ago Alberti purchased Nelson’s Gymnastics in Hamden and New Era was born. He vowed then to have a bigger and better place to teach gymnastics. New Era teaches gymnastics to children ages 21 months to 18 years. They offer Boys and Girls team programs, afterschool aged classes, tumbling programs, ninja training classes and camp programs.
