ACME Gymnastics Academy has been helping kids discover what their bodies can do since 2012. We serve ages 18 months to 18 years with structured, nurturing classes in Severna Park — from first tumbles to competitive gymnastics.
Not sure if gymnastics is the right fit? Come try a class — no commitment, no pressure.
Structured classes for every age and ability — from first steps to competitive gymnastics.
A parent participation class introducing the youngest movers to body awareness, coordination, and the joy of tumbling. Together time on the mat builds trust, confidence, and a love of movement from the very start.
→ Learn MoreFun fundamentals in a nurturing environment — rolling, jumping, balancing, and basic gymnastics shapes. Classes are designed around the way young children learn best: through play, repetition, and encouragement.
→ Learn MoreOrganized by skill level (Beginner through Advanced). Students work on cartwheels, handstands, back walkovers, and more. This is where most of our students are — building real skills in a structured, friendly environment.
→ Learn MoreStanding tumbling, back handsprings, aerials, and trampoline skills. A favorite for cheerleaders, dancers, and athletes who want to build their tumbling skills or cross-train for another sport.
→ Learn MoreFor advanced recreational students ready to train more seriously. This program prepares dedicated athletes for competitive gymnastics if that is the direction they want to pursue — no pressure, just opportunity.
→ Learn MoreUSAG-sanctioned competitive gymnastics for dedicated athletes. Invitation is based on skill evaluation. Our team competes at local and regional meets with Coach Emily's full support and guidance.
→ Learn MoreOpen gym on Friday nights and Saturdays — a great way to try gymnastics before committing to a class. Birthday party packages are also available and a perennial favorite for families in the area.
→ Learn MoreWe've been building confident, coordinated kids in Severna Park for 14 years.
Skill milestones, increased body awareness, stronger coordination. Parents consistently tell us their kids stand taller and move with more confidence after just a few months of training.
Padded equipment, USAG-certified safety protocols, and background-checked staff. Parents are always welcome to watch. We take safety seriously at every level.
Kids who train gymnastics are more body-aware, more focused, and more willing to try hard things. Those qualities show up in school, in sports, and in life.
No experience needed — ever. Most of our students start with zero gymnastics background. Our coaches meet every child exactly where they are.
Led by Coach Emily R., USAG-certified with 14+ years of coaching experience. Our team genuinely cares about every child's growth and is patient with every pace of progress.
Pre-Team and Competitive Team are available for athletes who want to go further, but never required. Most of our students are recreational — and that's exactly what we're here for.
After-school classes Monday through Friday starting at 3:30 PM, plus Saturday morning classes for every schedule.

Free Trial Class + Free Evaluation →Coach Emily R. has been teaching gymnastics in the Severna Park area since ACME Gymnastics Academy opened its doors in 2012. A former collegiate gymnast and USAG-certified coach, she has guided hundreds of local children through their first cartwheels all the way to competitive gymnastics — and everything in between. Her understanding of the sport from the inside out gives every student the benefit of patient, skilled, and genuinely invested instruction.
Her coaching philosophy is simple: every child deserves to feel capable and celebrated in the gym, regardless of their athletic background. Whether a student is working on a forward roll or preparing for a USAG meet, Coach Emily brings the same level of care, expertise, and encouragement to every class.
Progression is based on skill mastery — not age or time in class. Every gymnast moves at their own pace.
Skill evaluations happen in class on an ongoing basis. When a student is ready to advance, their coach will let you know. There is no pressure to move up before they are ready — and students who love where they are can stay there as long as they like.
Not ready to commit to a regular class? Saturday Open Gym and birthday party packages are a great way for curious kids to experience the gym floor with no strings attached.
Skills nights, skill showcases, open gym, and the moments that make gymnastics worth it.
