Summer is a time for new adventures, and you can make Adult Gymnastics your fun out-of-the-box activity! You can build strength, learn new skills, and have fun. Gem City offers Adult Gymnastics every Wednesday from 7:15-8:30 this summer. It’s $9 per time and there’s no time commitment or previous experience required.
Several of Gem City’s Level 7 gymnasts have earned a spot to compete at the Regionals in Michigan on April 21-23.
It’s State Meet season! With Level 4 and 7 State Competitions completed, it’s time for our level 3 and level 5 gymnasts to compete! DeKalb, Illinois, will host the Level 3 and Level 5 USAG State Championships from March 31 to April 2.
It’s been a great meet season for our Level 4 and Level 7 gymnastics teams! They are coached by Jacob Huff, Hope Huff, Kiki Backoff, and Cameron Shreve. The coaches love all the fun and hard work these athletes put in, and the effort has paid off- several athletes qualified for the Level 4 & 7 State competitions.
These athletes have to be strong, but their minds need to be even stronger. Training in gymnastics often means working through times when you can’t see your progress. We’re proud of the hard work each athlete has put into their own talent and growth during the year.
“I’d rather regret the risks that didn’t work out than the chances I didn’t take at all.”

The 2016-2017 seasons of gymnastics, tumbling, and cheer have already been exciting. We know there’s a lot to balance between school, the gym, and finding time to be kids, so we’re proud to be a part of their lives.
Gem City is excited to offer skill clinics this October and November! Skill clinics are one-hour group sessions focusing on a specific skill or set of skills for just $15 for each clinic.
Clinics are a great setting for learning because of the singular focus on technique and the variety of coaching voices that get to be heard. It’s not uncommon for athletes to pick up skills they’ve been working on just because a new face is working with them.
We can’t tell you how often people say to us: “I wish I would have done gymnastics as a kid.” Well, we’re here to tell you that an active lifestyle shouldn’t stop because you’re not a child anymore. (Just check out the video below!)
The physical strength, flexibility, power, agility, coordination, and balance needed for gymnastics is just as important in adulthood as it is in childhood. Because of this Gem City offers adult gymnastics every Wednesday from 7:15-8:30. It’s $9 per time and there’s no commitment.
Gem City offers adult gymnastics as an hour and fifteen minute open gym. Participant experience levels range from absolutely none to former competitive gymnasts and tumblers. Though most focus on tumbling skills, athletes are free to work on any gymnastics and tumbling events.
Each open gym begins with a skills based warmup then participants are free to work toward their individual goals.
