Grace - Energy - Movement - Strength
We believe that it's not CAN you do something, it's HOW you do it.
It is a reminder that our goal is to be thoughtful in all we do at GEMS Athletic Center. We are dedicated to helping your kids feel successful at GEMS and we hope you find your time with us to be a rewarding and enjoyable experience.
MISSION STATEMENT
At GEMS Athletic Center we believe that children are true gifts from God and we strive to create an environment where they not only grow physically and mentally, but also to facilitate in building their character. We believe in a growth mindset and are committed to each athlete and believe that gymnastics should be fun and affordable.

Our Facilities
GEMS Athletic Center was established in April of 2022. The former owners of North Idaho Gymnastics said a bittersweet goodbye with the confidence of knowing GEMS is in the very capable hands of two of our amazing coaches.
​
GEMS has been in it's current location at 14092 N. Ohio Street (right behind Ace Hardware) in Rathdrum since November 2015. The 8,000 sq. ft. building has a large front office, separate team & staff room, 3 bathrooms, a spacious observation area, and a party room for birthday parties. Feel free to stop by and check us out!
