Rosemary Polansky is the Founder
and Owner of AMR Gymnastics Center. In 1982, she enrolled her daughters in numerous gymnastics centers in the area. To her disappointment, she felt that her children were not receiving the attention compassion and support a child deserves. Rosemary felt inclined to start her own school that would foster a much more supportive environment with passionate staff so that no child is ever "just number" and every child is a gym star. A USAG certified instructor,
Rosemary has trained for 30 years and taught for almost 50 years. Her
dedication towards teaching children and passion for gymnastics truly
makes her one of the few coaches with extensive experience and
qualification. Rosemary and her staff have coached more than 300 state and league champions.

background includes a degree in Early Childhood Education and
Development. Her background also includes studies in Family and Consumer Sciences and

loving yourself and others through her work. She promotes healthy
