About Us People have been adorning themselves with jewelry as a form of personal expression for tens of thousands of years. Jewelry should make the wearer feel attractive and speak to their interests and lifestyle. We at Gym Gems want our jewelry to be beautiful & fashionable. Gym Gems offers exciting, superbly crafted jewelry designs for men and women who want to express their love of fitness and sports. When it comes to fitness, especially women’s fitness, Columbus, Ohio (home of Gym Gems) is as close as it gets to being the world hub. There must have been some kind of planetary alignment that brought many things together: we have the World Gym franchise owned by the Lorimer family, The Arnold Classic, and an extraordinary trainer named Mike Davies who trains many of the top fitness competitors in the country, working out of the Worthington (North) World Gym. Gym Gems had its debut at the Fashion Show at the Arnold Classic 2004 Expo and was an instant hit! Thank you to Classic Productions and Jen Hendershott for helping to give Gym Gems its launch! Fran Frost, Gym Gems Gemologist Fran has a B.S. degree in Geology from Ohio State University. She was led to the jewelry industry when she took a part-time job at a store called What On Earth, which was owned by a geologist, specializing in minerals, fossils and nature-related items. Included in the mix were unusual gems and two very talented goldsmiths, including BJ Erickson who is responsible for helping to turn the Gym Gems concept into reality. After college Fran became manager of the store and pursued an education in gemology (she is a graduate gemologist, Gemological Institute of America). She helped to guide What on Earth into another niche: the store became the best source of colored gemstones in the central Ohio area. Not only did the store provide superb gemstones to be set in jewelry, it also catered to gem connoisseurs who built museum-quality personal gem collections. Fran’s expertise assures that all Gym Gems products meet the highest standards of quality jewelry.
