Gymnastics Team Programs

Since it's establishment in 1973 the Iowa Gym-Nest has demonstrated a continuous commitment to excellence in women's competitive gymnastics. Over the years Iowa Gym-Nest athletes have won numerous state, regional, and national championships. The Iowa Gym-Nest is a member of USA gymnastics and currently has approximately 45 athletes competing in levels 4 through 10.

Because of time and space constraints, positions in our Development Program are limited. As a general rule we have more interest in our team program than we can accommodate. Therefore, participation in our team program is by invitation only and is determined by ability, attitude and parental interest. In keeping with our mission statement we have never measured success in how many medals are won at a competition. Our goal is to help develop strong, healthy, confident children through the sport of gymnastics. Our definition of success is helping each athlete reach her potential as a gymnast, and as a person.

We have been active in the USAG TOPs (Talent Opportunity Program) since 1993. This program can provide an entry point for female athletes into the Elite Program.

In 2010, we became the first gym club in the area to offer the USA Gymnastics Xcel team program.  This program allows many more of our students to participate in competitive gymnastics, without the large time committment of a traditional competitive gymnastics program.  Click on the link above to learn more.
