Welcome to MEKS!

MEKS Gymnastics Academy opened its doors in May of 2018 with a dream of creating an environment where every child can thrive.  We vowed to provide the highest quality of coaching by hiring skilled coaches who are committed to bringing out the best in each athlete. And, we continue to provide regular in-house trainings and take advantage of outside trainings to ensure that our coaches are up to speed on the newest techniques. We started with brand new state-of-the art equipment and we continue to add new equipment every year. 

​

Today, owners Misty Carpenter and Jennifer Hollems continue their committment to our athletes and their families, whether those athletes are looking to compete at the highest levels or whether they want to participate briefly. Each athlete will have fun, make friends, gain strength and stamina, and grow in confidence through their experience at MEKS. 

​

We are proud to serve the Anderson, Pendleton, Lapel, Fishers, Noblesville, and Muncie areas by providing gymnastics, tumbling, Flip and Flex and special events for their children.  And, we are proud to contribute to the Madison County community employing more than 50 people, participating in local charity events, and helping kids stay fit and active.
