Serving Blount, Loudon, and Monroe counties for over 22 years!
Gymnastics Counts is a family owned and operated business. Our focus is the total child - physical, mental, and spiritual.
I know that each child is a gift from The Lord, is very important, and should be able to enjoy the sport of gymnastics. Not every child will be an olympian, although there are some children who will... Regardless, each individual deserves respect and praise for his/her individual accomplishments at whatever level.
Gymnastics is a unique sport that builds confidence, character, discipline, endurance, determination, strength, and coordination. These are skills that a child can use in real life situations as well as any other sport. I believe and see that gymnastics encourages a child to "focus"... which usually carries over to their schoolwork and other activities.
Come join our family and see for yourself... try a class for free. I look forward to serving you.
