TnT Results
Gymfinity’s TnT team travelled to Des Moines Iowa last week to compete in the USTA National Championship.

Read MoreSay what you mean, sure. But how do you say it?
I wanted to write about coaches and athletes but after my first re-read of this post, I see that the same article applies to parents and their children as well. When you read this substitute the words “Home” and “Kids” for “Gym” and “Gymnast”, you’ll see what I mean. The point is still very valid…
Read MoreWhy “not” Cheer?

Read MoreMy Graduation Speech
(As excerpted from Gymfinity staff newsletter) Some day, someone at a prestigious college will give me an honorary doctorate to appear as a graduation speaker. This year as we have 5 staff and 2 team members graduating I have been thinking of the typical drivel that speakers usually deliver and couldn’t help but think: I could…

Here are a few questions to ask when you are considering signing your child up for an activity. Are the Staff educated in what they will be teaching? First off, education. The staff should be good at what they teach but should also have a solid background on the topic as well. I once…
