TnT Results
Gymfinity’s TnT team travelled to Des Moines Iowa last week to compete in the USTA National Championship. The kids packed up and carpooled together for the meet along with coach Scott Nilles, and found the trip was well worth it. Gymfinity’s kids made an impressive showing at the meet. Though the entire team did not compete,…
Read MoreUphill…both ways.
When I was a kid my Mom was notorious for telling me how rough it was for her growing up. Apparently she walked to school uphill both ways in 5 feet of snow all year long. Hearing this, my comment was “you went to school in the summer?” Missing the point completely but honing my…
Read MoreReasons why Gymfinity staff is the BEST in Dane County
What a great weekend! This last weekend Gymfinity was the host to a gymnastics summit. 6 Wisconsin gyms grouped together to bring a professional staff trainer from St. Louis Missouri in to assist with a group staff training. Coach/Business owner and lecturer Tom Burgdorf travelled to Madison to present to the staff from Gymfinity, Altius…
Read MoreGrabbing the “health bull” by the horns
Unstrap your feedbag (you’ll get that later) and lets take straight about the state of fiutness with ourselves and our children. Lets put away all of the polite and nice beating around the bush for one minute. We have become a sluggish culture of over-fat people who don’t exercise, eat too much and use our…
Read MoreWhy “not” Cheer?
We often have people ask us why we got rid of our cheer program and the answer is very complex. First and foremost, our program actually left us.

I had written a blog entry a few weeks ago helping parents to choose a gymnastics, or any other sport activity, club for their child. I promised more insight and I had a few questions from parents that come to the gym. I figured that I needed to make good on my promise and finish…

Last weekend, May 16-17, The Gymfinity Tumble and Trampoline team travelled to Bloomington IL and Illinois State University to compete in the Wisconsin State Amateur Athletic Union Championship. Wisconsin does not have enough teams in-state to host our own meet, so our teams travel to Illinois and piggy-back on their championship weekend. Gymfinity Athletes dominated…
Read MoreJust wait until you have kids….
I’ve been in the “working with kids” business since 1980; coaching, teaching, supervising etc. I have worked side by side with parents and with people who don’t have children too. If I had a dollar for everytime I heard “just wait until you have kids…” I’d be pretty wealthy. I always thought how those who…
Read MoreTomorrow is the Day!
It started, officially, in December; and it will finish tomorrow. We began training 19 girls in the Junior Olympic Gymnastics program. They had good meets, they had disastrous meets, but everyone one of them, and us the coaches, learned from every lesson. I had two seniors this year, Meghan and Nicole. Meghan had been with us…

Today was a sad day. We decided to eliminate our Flyers Cheer program and said good bye to many young girls who grew up at Gymfinity. We will miss them all and wish them and their families the best of luck. Gymfinity started the Flyers Cheer program 5 years ago and nurtured it to over…
