American Turners

American Turners is a national organization rooted in the principles of physical fitness and well-being, established over two hundred years ago by Frederick Ludwig Jahn in Germany. With a diverse membership across forty-nine societies in twelve districts, they promote a variety of sports and social activities, fostering community engagement and physical education.

Continuing Jahn's legacy, American Turners supports local societies through grants and organizes national competitions, including the National Festival, which stands as America's oldest continuing national athletic event. Each society operates independently, offering unique programs ranging from gymnastics to bowling, while also serving as social hubs for members to connect and share experiences.
