Ways to Shine - Programs for every age
From a toddler's first forward roll to a national-level tumbling pass — there's a class here for your child. And there’s even more to love: enjoy casual childcare during the day for ages 3–5, plus exciting day camps for kids ages 3–12 when school is out!
More than a gym. It's a family.
Tim and Janie Richards opened Let It Shine in a 6,000 square foot warehouse in south Franklin in April 1983 with 28 athletes. Today their son Tanner leads the gym, and more than 5,000 athletes train here every month across two side-by-side facilities.
Let It Shine has produced more State, Regional and National champions in gymnastics, power tumbling and rhythmic gymnastics than any other gym in Tennessee — and has been named TN Optional Team of the Year every year since 2021.
