Our core staff has a long standing reputation of excellence in the Indianapolis area.  Our facility may be new, but our staff is not new to the world of Gymnastics.  While a big facility with lots of pits is great, we all know it is the coaches who produce the results.  If you lose those coaches, you lose your program.

Our staff has qualified over 100 athletes to National Championships, with dozens of top ten National medalist, including numerous State and Regional champions, as well as several U.S. National Team Members (including 2003, 2005 & 2006).  They have been responsible for many of Indiana's top athletes over the past ten years.
