To all of our athletes and their families,
We are canceling our recreational summer session. We will be closed for ALL classes beginning May 29 until further notice due to the Illinois Governor’s recent Executive Order for all non-essential businesses and a phased reopening.
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! 😥
It’s week 3 without somersaults and trampolines, but at least it’s time for a new coloring sheet or skill refresher! We’ll be posting ‘homework’ each week while we are closed.
It’s week 2 of no cartwheels but don’t worry! It’s time for a new coloring sheet or skill refresher! We’ll be post ‘homework’ each week while we are closed.
Congratulations to Gem City’s 30 competitive tumblers who competed in Peoria, IL on March 7, 2020. It was a fantastic showing with all athletes finishing in the top ten. We are so proud of them!
We can’t let the kiddos go without their coloring sheet or a refresher of their terminology and skills! We’ll be posting ‘homework’ each week while we are closed!
We won’t let canceled classes dampen our athlete’s spirits, so please help us to keep them engaged during this time away from gym. 🙏 Share their finished coloring sheet OR share a picture of them doing gym at home! We’d love to see what everyone is working on! 😁

Our competitive teams are wrapping their seasons and starting to plan for next year!
Gem City earned first place in Des Moines at the Iowa Showdown. The strong performance means the all star cheer squad’s Nationals bid is now a GOLD BID! 🤩 It was also their highest score of the season with a 95.2333.
Thank you. 🩸 Because of you, there were 52 units of blood collected in six hours! 🎉 This is an amazing amount, especially considering it’s our first blood drive. We were excited to co-host with Blessing- Rieman College of Nursing & Health Sciences and look forward to hosting another drive!!
