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.

These victories represent years of work by the athletes and by our coaches as they’ve developed Gem City’s team and recreational class programs.
