Springfield Gymnastics Center (SGC) opened its doors to the first student in September of 2017 in the thriving community of Springfield, Illinois. While our name and logo are brand-new, our coaches have been a part of the gymnastics arena for many years. Our instructors love to teach kids about the fundamentals of gymnastics & tumbling in a supportive and fun atmosphere.

The SGC Facility

Newly renovated in August 2017, the 14,260-square foot SGC gym facility is located on the West side of Springfield boasts plenty of space and the latest technology to give athletes the best experience at every level. Some of these features include:

12,500 square feet of gymnastics and tumbling space
Front office where a staff member is present and ready to help when the gym is open.
Pro Shop includes a wide selection of t-shirts, GK leotards, shorts, water bottles, doll leotards, and SGC car magnets
Channel bar pit—the only one in Springfield!
Climbing ropes
10-foot tumble trak as a special training station
40 foot tumble trak into a large 26 ft. x 18 ft. foam filled pit

A 2600 square foot fully equipped, dedicated PreSchool area
Spacious parents’ observation area with a flat-screen television and bulletin boards highlighting events in the gym, important reminders, team results, and gymnastics news.
Video Delay Training System: Cameras will be focused around the gym to cover the team members workouts so that right after each athlete's turn, they will be able to visually review their performance on the closest TV monitor, all independently with or without the coach's input.
