The Founders Joao and Michelle Ribeiro
U.S. Gymnastics Development Center is owned and operated by Michele and João Ribeiro. João was a member of the 1980 Brazilian Gymnastic Olympic Team. Michele has a Bachelors Degree in Accounting and has been a successful business owner since 1988.
We are located in Leonia, NJ, the heart of Bergen County! We are just one mile from the George Washington Bridge.
We believe that gymnastics is a stepping stone to every sport. It focuses on strength, balance, flexibility, coordination, determination, and self-confidence. Since 1988, we have been helping children achieve their goals and reach their potential through gymnastics, in a fun and safe environment.
