Dr. Fletcher and CGA Owner, Ian Dennehy
Owner, Ian Dennehy, said about their efforts, “CGA has always been about serving the community. Right now, the best way we can do that is by keeping our community safe. We have worked hard to research the safest and most effective practices so we can continue to offer our members a fun, exciting, and quality gymnastics experience while putting the safety of our families and staff first. We have had such a positive response from our families, and I believe a lot of that has to do with our continued communication and transparency as this situation evolves.
We are also incredibly lucky to have an extremely committed and passionate staff. They continue to meet every challenge head on and their enthusiasm and dedication to CGA, their gymnasts, and our families is apparent every day they show up to work.
We are truly thankful for the trust and support our families have shown us. They continue to choose CGA to be part of their lives, even in such uncertain times, and that’s how we know we’re doing things right.”
