GYMNASTICS
Turner means “gymnast” in German. A German gymnastics movement was started by Turner “Vater” (“father”) Friedrich Ludwig Jahn in the early 19th century during the time of Napoleon’s occupation in Germany. The tradition of gymnastics continues at Turner Hall with recreational gymnastics classes!
