Allen
Janae is one of the founding fathers of ASI. She has attended ASI Gymnastics for 12 years now and leaving the gym doesn’t even cross her mind! Her first classes taken here were Tiny Tots with her mom, Angie. Angie also happens to be one of our awesome Sales Reps at Allen! Janae has progressed and advanced throughout all of the recreational programs ASI has to offer for girls. After Tiny Tots, she went through Kidz Gym, all of Girls Gymnastics, and is now in our Power Tumbling Advanced Gold class. Janae enjoys having a healthy, fit lifestyle. She enjoys cheering at basketball and football games, is in competitive cheer, and enjoys track.
Janae’s passion is cheer. As she progressed and mastered tumbling, she still enjoys and loves being in Coach Cris’ classes. She says, “he always gives me tips on how I could make the skill I’m working on better and helps me back up when I fall.” Her favorite skill to do is a standing back tuck. One of the reasons she loves coming to ASI is because she loves being able to come and she loves “having the freedom to work on my skills and better myself for the future.”
Angie found us back in the day when the world still used phone books!
Angie says Janae is, “perfecting skills she has already learned, and progressing on learning new skills.” The Shields family has stayed with ASI because of “the flexibility in the classes, the attention, the safety and overall progression and advancement of her skill set.”

Hi! My name is Jade, and I am a Level 2 gymnast. My favorite event is bars and one of the skills that I feel is my strongest is my back hip circle. I love gymnastics because it gives me a challenge to work on all of my skills the best that I possibly can. Coach Candace works with me every week to make sure that I can do my absolute best. My goal is to be the best at what I can do and move up to the highest level that ASI can take me.

Keller
Strong, determined, and a future Level 1 Girls’ Team member are a few ways to describe one of Keller’s hotshots Arianna. Ari, as we call her, used to be shy and very quiet before starting gymnastics. Since she has been enrolled at ASI Keller, Ari has definitely grown out of her shell. In a little over a year, Arianna has been promoted from Kidz Gym Level 1 to Kidz Gym Level 2 to Girls Bronze and she’s now currently enrolled in Girls Silver with Coach Kiersten! She is also enrolled in Power Tumbling Silver with Coach Val at the age of 5! Alicia, Ari’s mom, has noticed that Ari has “gained both confidence and strength” since being enrolled in gymnastics. “She practices everyday,” noted Alicia. It’s no wonder that she has progressed through four levels in two different programs so quickly!
Ari’s favorite event is bars! She loves Coach Kiersten because “she helps me with a lot of the skills that I don’t get right away.” Arianna also mentioned that “she’s really nice and pretty.” Ari loves coming to gymnastics because she “wants to be on the team like the big girls.” We can’t wait to see what Ari accomplishes this year!

Mesquite
Two-year-old Gentrie loves coming to “nastics” as she says it. Gentrie has been enrolled in Tiny Tots for almost a full year now, and brightens everyone’s day when she is there with her sweet, sassy, and bubbly personality! One of Gentrie’s favorite things about coming to Gymnastics is Coach Carly. “Gentrie loves walking in the door and seeing Miss Carly’s Face! Miss Carly has taught Gentrie how to hang on the bar, do a flip, backflip, swing on the rope, and so many more things!” Gentrie’s favorite thing is getting to learn new bar skills!
Gentrie’s mom says, “I love bringing Gentrie to gymnastics because she is learning something new every week! She is learning how to interact with other kids her age. She is continuing to learn how to share and take turns. She is learning how to take care of her body and perform all different types of stretches. I love that she is able to learn these things at such a young age!” Gentrie’s sweet little laugh definitely brightens up ASI Mesquite every Thursday when she comes to class! Coach Carly loves getting to have Gentrie as a student, saying that “she is always so sweet, and works hard during class. Gentrie brings so much joy to my day!”

Suhanna loves gymnastics “because the teachers are lovely, because I have friends, and because gymnastics is my favorite thing to do!”
Her parents love taking her to ASI because “she’s growing stronger, has better balance and is more skillful. She likes to practice and get better at her skills. It’s an individual sport and it teaches her to apply herself at a specific task, practice, and focus to get better.” We love seeing Suhanna and her family every week for class and are so happy they are a part of the ASI family!
