WIMGYM, the Montreal West Island Gymnastics Club, was founded in 1970. This club originated in Vaudreuil, where the original training center was located at Cité des Jeunes High School. At that time, the club had approximately twelve (12) competitive athletes, with a small group of recreational/pre-competitive participants. In 1980, due to the club's rapid growth, the club opened its first permanent facility in Beaconsfield, with a secondary recreation center in Valois, Pointe-Claire. At this time, the club's activities included competitive gymnastics serving 30–50 team members and a developing recreational program at both facilities.

In 1996, both facilities were closed and all of WIMGYM's operations were combined under one roof in a leased facility in the Beaconsfield Mall. From 1996 to 2008, WIMGYM continued to serve the West Island community with its ever-expanding recreational programs, alongside the success of its provincially and nationally recognized competitive team program. The expansion continues, we are now located in Kirkland since June 2021 and the club stands out more and more at the competitive level, provincial, national and international.
