About Gymnasia — Tbilisi's Premier Sports Community
About Gymnasia
Gymnasia is Tbilisi's largest multifunctional sports facility, built on a simple conviction: sports improve lives. Since opening in 2022, we have grown into a community of thousands — athletes, families, and fitness enthusiasts who share a belief that discipline, movement, and training together make life better.
Our Mission
Improving lives through sports.
We exist to provide world-class training facilities, expert coaching, and a supportive community where people of all ages and skill levels can pursue their athletic potential. From a child's first judo class to a professional fighter's competition preparation, from a morning yoga session to a clinical VO2max test — Gymnasia is the place where it all happens under one roof.
Our Story
Gymnasia was born in 2022 from a founder's personal need. Igor Kononuchenko, a Ukrainian technology entrepreneur who played a key role in Grammarly's growth from its origins in Ukraine to a billion-dollar company in the US, wanted a place in Tbilisi where he and his children could train together in a community that valued quality, safety, and genuine human connection.
When he could not find what he was looking for, he built it.
They assembled a team of coaches, trainers, and specialists and created something that did not previously exist in Georgia: a facility where combat sports, fitness, sports science, and community converge.
