What J.A.Gymnastics does

John's Academy of Gymnastics (JAG) is a privately held, single-location gymnastics training facility operating from a 10,000-square-foot state-of-the-art training center at 2 Toelles Road, Unit 1, Wallingford, Connecticut. Founded in 2011 by owner and head coach John Morgillo, the company serves youth ages 1-18 across two primary program tracks: recreational classes (Caregiver & Child, Kids Progressive, Girls Progressive, Kids Fitness, and Tumbling) delivered in 8-week sessions with small student-to-instructor ratios, and competitive team programs (Hot Shots, Pre-Team, USA Gymnastics Development Program Levels 3-10, and Xcel Program Bronze through Diamond). Revenue is generated through session-based class subscriptions, ongoing competitive team enrollment fees, drop-in open gym sessions ($10/hour or $15/two hours), and ancillary streams including seasonal camps, birthday parties, and team fundraisers. The business operates as a direct-to-consumer model with no wholesale, retail, or franchise distribution, and customer acquisition relies on word-of-mouth referrals, social media (Instagram, Facebook), a website with newsletter subscription, and free trial classes.

The company is structured as a Connecticut LLC with approximately 6 core employees and an extended coaching staff of 8 named individuals, all holding USA Gymnastics Safety Certification, SafeSport training, and CPR/First Aid credentials. Technology infrastructure is minimal: the company relies on the third-party Jackrabbit Class platform (Organization ID 543477) for online registration, class scheduling, and parent portal access, with no proprietary software, mobile applications, or AI capabilities. Key competitive outcomes cited include 30 Level 10 gymnasts produced, 50 national qualifications, 27 collegiate athletes (including 6 full Division I scholarships), and consistent state, regional, and national champions since 2017. Owner John Morgillo concurrently founded the unrelated R1QMAA Driver Development Program in 2021, a charitable youth motorsports initiative.
