John Gerald Geddert (December 21, 1957 – February 25, 2021) was an American gymnastics coach. He coached Olympic champion Jordyn Wieber and was a head coach for the London 2012 US Olympic Gymnastics Team. He was a long-time associate of sex offender Larry Nassar. Geddert himself was charged with physical, psychological abuse, and sexual abuse. One day after USA Gymnastics announced suspension of Geddert's membership pending investigation into the abuse allegations, Geddert retired from coaching. In 1996, Geddert founded the Twistars USA Gymnastics Club in Dimondale. The club has a back room, where Nassar regularly treated and sexually molested young female athletes. In 2018, Geddert handed over ownership and management of the gym to his wife, Kathryn, in the wake of the Nassar sex abuse scandal.
