Meet the Staff…
We know that the quality of the instructors makes a difference in your child’s experience with gymnastics. Over the years we have interviewed dozens of highly-qualified, energetic and patient instructors, and have hand selected only the finest we have seen. Each instructor attends regularly scheduled child-training educational sessions, and are always sharing tips and insights with each other as to how to be a better mentor and coach to the children. We are confident that your child will look forward to spending time with all of our instructors at any level! Our 38-year reputation has been built one child at a time and we intend to keep it that way! Want to meet our instructors before you make a commitment? Stop by the facility and say “Hi” to them.
