The 2025–2026 season is here, and we couldn’t be prouder of the athletes this year representing Gem City Gymnastics & Tumbling and Quincy, IL. From gymnastics and tumbling to our two all star cheer squads, each competitive team showcases countless hours of training, teamwork, and spirit.
Hi, this is Coach Katie! With Gem City’s 20th anniversary just around the corner, we’re excited to launch a brand-new tradition: Athlete of the Month. Each month, we’ll spotlight one gymnast whose hard work, attitude, and spirit represent what Gem City is all about. And to kick things off, we’re proud to introduce our very first honoree: Josey Bockhold.
The gym will be closed for labor day from Saturday, August 30 to Tuesday, September 2. Classes resume on Wednesday, September 3.
