Gene

Founder, Owner, Head Coach

Gene Kohler spent most of his life bouncing on trampolines, swimming, diving, skateboarding, mountain biking, snowboarding, skydiving, and even being a stunt man. He started coaching at a young age and after starting and running successful trampoline and tumbling programs at other gyms, he knew he wanted to start his own gym. Kids World Gymnastics and its competitive team, St. Louis Elite, is the result of that vision. Gene values family and feels one of the greatest gifts we can offer is to positively impact the life of every child we meet.

Ann

General Manager & Owner

Ann Boehmer has devoted most of her career to public education, with over 20 years’ experience in the classroom and administration. She was introduced to trampoline and tumbling through her son, Max, during his seventh birthday party at a trampoline gym. In 2012, the Boehmer family was welcomed to Kids World and the St. Louis Elite team after the original gym which Max trained at discontinued its competitive program. Because of a strong belief in the mission of Kids World, the Boehmer family invested into the organization during the covid shutdown in hopes to help the business to survive.
