about World of Gymnastics • • •

At World of Gymnastics, we seek to provide quality time spent in developing your child's strength, flexibility, coordination, confidence, and self-esteem while increasing his or her gymnastic ability. World of Gymnastics specializes in artistic gymnastics.

World of Gymnastics started as a basement business in the home of owner Mrs. Laura Mikszan and has grown to house more than 1100 students. World of Gymnastics is a 21,000 square-foot state of the art facility with two full-size floors, tumble track, two foam pits and two trampolines. The equipment in our fully air conditioned facility ranges from the parallel bars to a spring loaded floor, from a pommel horse to the uneven bars. Many of our mats and equipment were the very ones used at the 1996 Atlanta Centennial Olympics including bars, beams, vaults, and awards podium. World of Gymnastics also offers two parents observation rooms which are conveniently located for total viewing access to the entire gym.

In 1999, 3 Olympians visited us at World of Gymnastics to inspire young gymnasts. On National Gymnastics Day, 1996 Gold Medalist Keri Strugg was the first Olympian to visit. She signed the equipment she used in the 1996 Olympic Games including the vault, beam, and bars. At the Annual Holiday Presentation, Olympians John Macready and Amanda Borden performed and spoke to audiences. John even performed in the World of Gymnastics' Kangaroo Mascot Suit.

In 2002, Olympians Shannon Miller, Kim Zmeskal, John Roethlisberger, and John Macready visited us at World of Gymnastics. This was the second visit by John Macready and the first visit by Miller, Zmeskal, and Roethlisberger. All four coached a clinic to several local gymnasts from the Atlanta area. After the clinic, all the Olympians signed equipment from the 1996 Olympic Games, participated in a question/answer session, and signed autographs.

World of Gymnastics is a member club of USA Gymnastics and is located in Region 8. We currently have staff of more than 40, many of which are USAG professional members, as well as being safety certified and KAT accredited. At World of Gymnastics, "EVERY CHILD MAKES A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE."
