About Summit

Summit Gymnastics established in 1981, and acquired by Greater Buffalo Gymnastics in 2026, is a community staple that provides a happy, healthy, learning-based environment where children are empowered to grow and achieve meaningful successes in sport and in life.

 

Through gymnastics instruction, we enrich the self-confidence & lives of the children and families we serve. Our programs continuously adapt and evolve. We're accessible to children of all ages, capabilities, and are committed to the professional growth & development of our staff.

Watch Policy

"ALL THE TIME, ANYTIME!"

We have large windows and glass doors to see into the gym at floor level, or for a bird's eye view, watch and listen to your child's class from the open air balcony. The Jungle Gym, a special themed area for our younger gymnasts, can be observed from the closed circuit camera and television set, located in the lobby. You can even watch classes while you exercise. Our cardio gym has bikes, treadmills, and steppers conveniently situated by viewing windows.
