Elaine Jewart, '66. is the owner and CEO of Jewart's Gymnastics, which has nurtured thousands of youths for the past 56 years on the family philosophy that prioritizes personal development.


There are many ways to define and measure success. If you’re an athlete, such as a gymnast or a rock climber, it could depend on results: did the judge score your routine with a 10 or did you make it to the top? If you’re a business owner, you could count revenue, clients served or years of service.

If you walk through Jewart’s Gymnastics in Allison Park, success is observed all around the 9-acre grounds and 30,000-square-foot facilities that make up the family-run business that was established in 1969. More than 1,300 youths learn and develop each week at Jewart’s, which houses recreational and competitive gymnastics, trampoline and tumbling, indoor rock climbing, summer camps and even a “forest kindergarten,” which is preschool education for children that is conducted exclusively outdoors.

“We do what is good … what is right … and what is fun,” said Elaine Jewart, pausing to emphasize each word.

That’s how success is defined and measured at Jewart’s Gymnastics.
