It’s been a very weird competitive season for Gem City’s teams (our season started June 2020), but we still took a moment to document and celebrate these hard-working, student athletes with team photos.
We’re so excited to get Gem City up and running again! Please help us make this a safe reopening for our gym community. Check out the new procedures we will be implementing.

It’s a joy to work with a kid all the way up to the point of graduating from high school. Unfortunately, our graduating seniors had a great season cut short this year but we cherish the opportunity to learn and grow with them all these years. 
We will miss you all being in the gym each week. Good luck next year, and don’t forget to come back and visit!
