Lauren Kamper has been a part of the ASI Family for almost 16 years. This is especially impressive since she’s only 22! Lauren started taking classes at ASI Mesquite when she was 6 years old, back when pogs and beanie babies roamed the earth. She was on the competitive team until she was 12, and she started coaching at ASI when she was in high school. After she went off to college at Texas A&M, Lauren worked seasonally as a Survivor Camp coach whenever she was home.

Quote from Lauren

“ASI has always been a part of my life. It was so good to know that I could always come home to my ASI Family during holiday breaks. It is a well-established company that is growing fast, but still values its employees and cares for them.”

When she graduated from A&M with a degree in Recreation, Park and Tourism Sciences, with an emphasis in Youth Development and a minor in Business, she was offered a full-time position in the Business Operations department. She is now the Business Lead at ASI Rockwall, and it’s the perfect fit!

Quote from Lauren

“It was so wonderful to receive a career within my major that provides excellent benefits for my health and well-being. I have health insurance, a steady income, and I get to use my relational skills and my administrative skills. Now I get to see the gym from a business perspective, but I’m still involved in the lives of children every day!”

Lauren coaches classes, trains new employees, and is responsible for other administrative tasks involved in running the Rockwall gym, like scheduling, purchasing, and payroll support. She is also a team leader, so she gets to influence and support the Rockwall staff to be the best coaches they can be for our students.

“ASI provides the opportunities for young adults to be involved in the physical and personal development of children while developing their own careers and professional skills. I would encourage people to apply at ASI because I can think of nowhere else that your job is so fulfilling, meaningful, and fun.”

Jazmyn Conejo is a rockstar coach at ASI Allen. In addition to coaching gymnastics classes and serving as the Gymnastics After School Supervisor in Allen, she also trains new coaches and supervises Survivor Camp when school is out. Jazmyn is a student by day, coach by mid-afternoon to evenings, and on the weekends, she has a blast putting on awesome Birthday Parties and Parents Night Out events.

“One thing I really love about working at ASI is that I get to do so many different, important things! I’m learning so much about how to lead a team and be a supervisor, it fits perfectly with my schedule, and I still get to come into work every day and play with kids! I’m so lucky!”

On top of all that, Jazmyn’s favorite part of her job is coaching children with special needs through our incredible adapted gymnastics program, Gymmie Kids. Her positive energy is contagious, and she gets to pass it on to all kinds of kids that come into our gym.

Quote from Jazmyn

“I’m really loving coaching my Gymmie Kids classes right now because I’ve learned so much in the training process and I think it’s such an important program. Kids need and deserve creative options to get fun, safe exercise and build self confidence, and I feel so fortunate to be a part of that. Every time I work with these kids, I come out grinning from ear to ear. It’s the highlight of my week.”

Jazmyn makes a huge difference in the lives of so many kids, and she really shares and exemplifies ASI’s mission to provide the best gymnastics instruction possible to each child at their level. Jazmyn is the kind of employee any gym would want on their team, and we love to recognize her hard work with gift cards, incentives, new responsibilities, and other fabulous benefits. Because she’s a student, Jazmyn also takes advantage of our Education Assistance plan. ASI is a strong supporter of education and personal development, so all employees are eligible to apply for reimbursement of expenses associated with college tuition, fees, and books.

Quote from Jazmyn

“My job is so many things. It’s stress relief after a long day of classes, it’s professional development and work experience, it’s got great benefits, it fits my schedule and my personality, and most of all, it’s a family that I’m so lucky to be a part of.”

Well, we feel lucky to have in you in the ASI family too, Jazmyn!
