Gem City is excited to announce a new Adaptive Gymnastics class for those athletes with special needs. In Spring 2019, this class will be offered for children ages 5-12 with differing abilities or special needs. The focus will be on growth and development in the following areas: gross motor coordination, sensory processing, language concepts, social skills, and being a kid while having fun!
Ever wonder if you could still learn a cartwheel or perfect your back handspring again? You can. Try it at Gem City’s Adult Gymnastics!
Adult Gymnastics is held every Wednesday from 7:45 to 9:00 p.m. It’s only $9 per class and requires no long-term commitment.
The gymnastics, tumbling, and all star cheer programs at Gem City produced many wins during their respective competitive seasons. We are beyond proud of each athlete’s hard work and dedication.
