Spring session is fully underway! Thank you to everyone for keeping up with gym even though the weather has been so cold!
Here are the three things at Gem City that you need to check out:
1) Athletes finding success at competition season ramps up.
- Gem City Tumblers Get Big Results in Decatur
- Cold Weather, Fire Competition: Both Squads Earn First Place in St. Charles
- Gymnasts Compete at Bravo Fiesta Classic Meet
2) Valentine Theme week is February 10-15! Come to gym festive for the love holiday! We always like to see your fun leotards, festive socks, etc. We’ll have a special treat for all the athletes after class as well.
3) Did you see our new sign on the building?! We’re so excited to finally have a sign that lights up!
We still have class openings – especially in Bronze Tumbling, Level 1 Gymnastics, and Silver Tumbling! Even though spring session started January 6, it’s still not too late to join! We offer a trial class and we pro-rate tuition based upon your start date! Check out our classes here.
Happy Handstaneds,
Katie Cernea
Quick Reminder About Inclement Weather
When Quincy Public Schools close due to bad weather, we will also be closed. We update our website, Facebook, Instagram, voicemail, and front door upon weather closings, so simply search for us and you’ll soon know if we’re closed or not! We will begin booking make-up classes for all snow days beginning March 1. All snow day make-ups must be made up before the end of the spring session.
