"While there are gymnastic classes and programs in the city, InMovement has been such a wonderful place! My 9-year-old daughter has been attending classes in NoLibs for the past 4 years and is making great gains each week and enjoying every moment of it. The teachers are so sweet and patient and really provide the perfect amount of support. She’s got so much drive to practice and get better, plus, she’s gained a lot of confidence in her ability."

"I’ve done gymnastics all my life and competed till level 10. I do the adult open gym here and their monthly Acro Yoga classes. The atmosphere is super supportive and fun! Their coach Teresa is the absolute best, very knowledgeable, and cares so much! Although the gym doesn’t have a foam pit or high enough ceilings for me (5’8”) to do my highest level skills, it’s the best equipped gym in Philly and I highly recommend."
