Director The American Gym'Nest' inc

Coach Jeff is a native of Newtown,PA and has many years of coaching gymnastics at all levels.  "My journey began as an exercise physiologist to help an adult population; but in coaching preschoool while working with teams, I saw the need to create and impact young minds to love movement through the number one activity the Presidents Council on Physical Fitness reccommends for prepubescent youth...Gymnastics!  'USA Today,Newsweek, and TIME reports on 'How Children Learn'

Utilizing their own body weight as a resistance; gymnastics requires active engagement of the brain at a much higher level developing whats known as the physical pathway of learning.  PPL has been actively ignored and has yielded the many ills we are faced with today (obesity, diabetes, focus issues, etc.)

Universities are actively pushing for fundamental gymnastics curriculums to be brought back to schools. For its benefits of overall baseline fitness, injury prevention, and correlation to learning to read earlier through rapid sequencing patterns found in the brain. Patterns the brain can draw upon when processing letters to words, words to sentences and language structure. 

Put simply, you give your child an edge, both inside and outside the classroom.
