Scramble Expansion
Scramble plans to open a site in Shirlington in 2024. The approval time was cut largely by replacing an existing gym. The Scramble gym will focus on physical activity for early toddlers, pre-K, elementary and youth up to 18 years old. For older youth and adults, a parkour obstacle course will challenge balance, strength, coordination, and physical endurance. For children five to seven years old, there will be a separate obstacle course within a safety frame. There will also be a huge parkour area to allow individual skills to be tested or a course designed to challenge friends. Toddlers up to four years old will have their own parkour area to encourage them to try out their physical skills. Finally, for infants and pre-toddlers, there will be a more familiar sensory play area. Scramble currently operates sites in Falls Church and Alexandria.
