25 Years of Gymnastics in San Rafael, Marin County
Family-owned and athlete-led — lifelong gymnasts, proud Marin County parents, and stewards of San Rafael's most beloved kids' gym.
About GymWorld in San Rafael, Marin County
Twenty-five years ago, in a small corner of the community, a little gym with big dreams opened its doors. It started with just a few mats, a couple of beams, and a whole lot of heart. Kids from all around came to cartwheel, giggle, and grow — and GymWorld was born.
Through the years, thousands of tiny toes have tiptoed across balance beams, brave hearts have tackled their first flips, and friendships have been made mid-handstand. Some of those tiny gymnasts even grew up to become coaches, passing the same love of gymnastics on to a whole new generation.
Today, GymWorld is still buzzing with community events, laughter, high-fives, and the sound of feet sprinting toward springboards. It's more than a gym — it's a second home, a place where confidence soars and every kid is reminded they can reach for the stars.
Here's to 25 years of flips, fun, and fearless little flyers — and many more to come.


Athletics Has Always Been Our Life
We're a family of five — with three energetic little gymnasts of our own. But our love of this sport started long before we became parents.
As gymnasts and lifelong multi-sport athletes, we've spent years training, competing, and coaching. We know what it feels like to stand on the floor for the first time, to fall, to get back up, and to finally nail the skill you've been chasing for months. We've lived the sport from the inside — and that changes everything about how we run a gym.
When we took over GymWorld, we weren't just taking on a business. We were taking on 25 years of community trust, and we didn't take that lightly. Our goal has been to honor everything that made this gym special while bringing our own passion, experience, and standards to every class, every coach, and every interaction with your family.
To us, gymnastics is more than flips and cartwheels. It's about resilience, confidence, teamwork, and the joy of discovering what your body can do. We've seen firsthand — as athletes and as parents — how this sport helps children overcome challenges, support one another, and celebrate every win, big or small. At GymWorld, we're not just building skills. We're building character.
This gym is our second home — and we hope it becomes that for your family too.
Our Philosophy
At GymWorld, we believe gymnastics is one of the most powerful tools for personal growth a child can experience. It's the foundation sport — the strength, coordination, body awareness, and discipline kids build here transfers to every other sport and every other area of life. We've lived that, and we've seen it in every child who's walked through our doors.
Our philosophy centers on using movement to nurture the whole child — physically, mentally, and socially. We create an environment where effort is celebrated, mistakes are part of learning, and every child is encouraged to push past their comfort zone safely and confidently. Our coaches lead with encouragement and empathy, guiding each child to find their own strength while learning to support the people around them.
In every class, our goal is to foster not just athletic progress, but character development, self-awareness, and a lifelong love of active living — for kids ages 0 to 13, from their very first tumble to their first competition.
