My son with hypotonia and no upper body strength did both Agility and TNT (tumbling and trampoline) last year at Dynamite Gym.
 
He hated the TNT because they spent a good part of the class learning cartwheels instead of using the trampoline, which he loves. Of course, any exercise that depended on arm or core strength, like cartwheels, he didn't care for! Sadly, this is what he really needs.

He loved the Agility, which focused on getting the kids to keep moving through an obstacle course - I found it less useful for his needs, and ended up pulling him out because the Agility classes are in their second gym place and I always smelled car exhaust when I opened the door and went in. I do have a sensitive sense of smell, and maybe it bother anybody else, but I do not want my kid exercising for an hour in car exhaust fumes.

The Motion Education is well regarded but too expensive for us.

So this year we are trying ballet! I found a boys class at Maryland Youth Ballet, and they insist on core and upper body strength, and have great attention to detail. We'll see how that goes.
