BACKGROUND

Powers Gymnastics was created with the goal of generating a more inclusive model for youth gymnastics, focusing on welcoming a broader range of participants rather than just elite-level competitors, who have traditionally received the majority of resources in the industry.

Over the past few years, Powers Gymnastics has assembled the largest network of USA Gymnastics-certified gyms in the U.S. The goal is to continue with an even further expansion as they are now backed by the Tennessee-based Relevance Ventures. Relevance Ventures believes wellness is the essential element uniting all of us, and they specifically invest in companies who empower personalized health decisions.

Powers Gymnastics is dedicated to fostering the development of young gymnasts through a comprehensive program which keenly maps skill improvement and progress. Their mission is to provide a supportive and enriching environment where youth can thrive both in and out of the gym. They are committed to safety, excellence, inclusivity, and the holistic development of our participants.
