Our Story

A Gym Built Around Growing Athletes

Since 1979, Gymnastics East has given families in Bellevue and Issaquah a place to learn, move, and belong. Children can start with a first tumble, build skills in recreational classes, or follow a competitive path as they grow.

Kim Thomson grew up in the program, returned as a coach, and bought the gym in 2000. She still owns and operates Gymnastics East with the same love for the sport that brought her back.

That history shapes the way we coach today. We give athletes clear instruction, progressive skill development, and room to work hard while enjoying the process.

Kim's approach: Early participation in gymnastics gives children a foundation that supports success in any sport.
