Flips, Fun & Team Spirit: Celebrating National Gymnastics Day All Week!
National Gymnastics Day is Saturday, September 20, and we’ll be celebrating all week long here at the gym!
From September 15–20, keep an eye on our social media for fun videos and behind-the-scenes peeks at what our athletes are working on. We’ll be sharing clips of awesome skills, team spirit, and the joy that gymnastics brings to our community.
Join the fun, cheer on your athlete, and help us celebrate the sport we all love!
Monthly Notes
New Gear in the Pro Shop
We’ve restocked our adult t-shirts—and we’ve added more color options than ever across toddler, youth, and adult sizes!
Later this month, keep an eye out for our new winter shirt design!
Preschool Playtime Continues
Bring your toddlers and preschoolers to burn energy, build coordination, and explore the gym in a safe, fun space.
Several parents use the time to meet with a friend while the kids play. PP is every Wednesday morning 9:30-11:30am, ages six and under, only $9 per child.
Military Discount Reminder
All active military and veteran families receive a 100% discount on our $55 annual family registration fee. We’re honored to serve those who serve!
Homeschool & Rec Cheer Are Back!
After amazing feedback last year, we’re continuing two of our newer programs this fall: Homeschool Gymnastics Classes and Recreational Cheer.
Spots are still available! If you’re interested or have questions, give us a call—we’d love to get your athlete involved.

We’re expanding what our facility offers—and we’d love to bring one more local business into our space at 2010 Jennifer Lane!
Located on the north side of Quincy, our building is in a quiet cul-de-sac and sees excellent foot traffic from families throughout the week. One business is already preparing to move in—but we have 2,350 square feet still available!
Check our Facebook post to see photos of the space. It shows the current layout as a dance studio as well as views of our exterior, shared lobby, and restrooms.
This lease is all-inclusive:
- Utilities, property taxes, cleaning, shared area maintenance, and furnishings—we handle it all.
- You focus on your business—we’ll take care of the rest.
- Flexible terms: one-year lease to start, with options for multi-year after.
