OWNED AND OPERATED BY...
Owned and operated by Sarah Jane Bernhardt-Clifford, a graduate of Ithaca College and gymnastics instructor since 1972.
Sarah Jane began competing in gymnastics locally in 1968 and her 32 years of ongoing experience has enabled her to become one of 30 individuals in America chosen by the USA Gymnastics to teach the National Safety Certification Program.
She became a gymnastics judge in 1976 and is certified Elite by the National Association of Women's Gymnastics Judges. Sarah Jane is the Special Olympic Chairman of Gymnastics, the Regional Chairman of the Amateur Athletic Union and National Instructor of Professional Development Program Levels I and II. Sarah Jane is also President of the New York State Officials for Girls Gymnastics. She recently received the Small Business Person of the Year Award by the Rochester Chamber of Commerce and the Charles Wagner Award sponsored by the Press Radio Club for her achievement of promoting a local sport to a national level.
She has also been recognized as a New York State Woman of Distinction by Senator Jim Alesi, in May 2000. She also currently serves as President of the Penfield Business Association.
All of our expert instructors have had personal experience in competitive gymnastics on either a national or international level, and are USGF certified.

The center was recognized for outstanding achievement at the Sportswoman of the Year Awards luncheon. GTC is currently forming gymnastics classes for boys and girls from beginning levels to highly advanced levels on a continuous year-round schedule. Fit By Five Preschool was recently acquired by the center and offers an outstanding physically-based preschool learning experience.

Our philosophy is "Safety First, Last and Always." We are dedicated to educating our students in a safe, fun atmosphere. Our goal is that each student will learn at his or her own pace and that our students will strive for "personal best, " not only in the gymnastics arena, but in all that life has to offer. We feel strongly that true success is not measured simply in victories, but in the confident knowledge that one does his or her own best.
