For over 20 years Gym Stars has been part of the fun and recreation for the children of Ulster County. Gymnastics and Cheerleading have always been the focus of our programs. They build confidence and self-esteem along with coordination and motor skills development.

Gym Stars programs are designed to meet the needs of a diversity of children. Our small class size and individual attention ensure the best possible learning environment so that the child can best reach his/her potential. The small class size also makes it a safe environment.
