Our Story


GCA began its journey in November 2009 with a single 22,700 sq. ft. facility dedicated to providing quality training and a supportive environment for young athletes. Over the years, our commitment to excellence, community, and growth has allowed us to expand into three thriving locations—now totaling 118,124 square feet of gym, dance, parkour, and preschool space.

GCA of CT has been the most engaging and exciting class for my 2 year old daughter. She has excelled so much with the help of Coach Emilia and is now in a drop off class before the age of 3. GCA of CT is a wonderful place and would recommend this gymnastics facility and Coach Emilia 100x over!

My family and I are truly blessed to have dealt the most warm and inviting staff. We have relocated several times for work reasons and my kids would be distraught if we had to do so again. They love it here and feel right at home. The coaches cater to each child’s limitations and skill level. They provide direction, but in a fun environment where they still have some freedom. Thank you for everything, bravo! GCA has our vote!

My daughter attends the Mind and Motion class here, which I honestly cannot say enough good things about. The perfect combination of gymnastics, free play and socializing, mixed with arts and crafts, and they are always doing something fun for the holidays. My daughter absolutely loves it! We decided to have her 4th birthday here this past weekend and it was so great. Very clean, set up nicely, staff were organized, polite and super helpful with everything. All the kids who attended had so much fun! One of my friends has a child who is very shy and she was so impressed with the way the coaches interacted with her daughter, encouraged her and got her involved… so much so that she is now going to sign her daughter up for class here. Would definitely recommend to others looking for a birthday party location or classes.
