Owners Ed and Claudia are the directors at Gym America and the head coaches for the girls' competitive teams.
With their commitment to excellence, Gym America has grown from its humble beginning in a small warehouse, to a gymnastics-specific facility that is completely air-conditioned and fully equipped with state-of-the-art gymnastics and safety equipment.Throughout 34 years of working with kids, Gym America's philosophy has always been to offer the finest quality instruction for every age and level in the program.
