Sales Spotlight: Shannon Kennedy

Shannon Kennedy is an all-star Sales Rep at our newest ASI location in The Woodlands. She went to Pflugerville High School outside of Austin, TX, but now she calls the Houston area home. She applied at ASI this summer because her roommate was an ASI Sales Rep and raved about it. Shannon took her word for it, and now she couldn’t be happier!

Quote from Shannon

“What I love most about ASI is how awesome the staff is. Every single person at the gym went above and beyond to introduce themselves and make me feel comfortable.”

Shannon has been the perfect addition to the Sales team in The Woodlands. A sales position fit perfectly with Shannon’s schedule, and she definitely has what it takes to keep our customers happy. Shannon is a positive, friendly, organized fast learner with outstanding people skills. She loves that her position allows her to get to know every family in the gym and make sure that they are all getting the most out of their ASI experience. Shannon truly loves our customers and their kids, and they love her right back!

Quote from Shannon

“I can not express how much I already love my sales team. Those ladies are amazing! I also love the kiddos that now know my face and run up to me and give me hugs and high fives at Open Gym or when they arrive at the gym from school.”

Quote from Shannon

“I would recommend people to ASI because I think that it is an awesome company to work for. The staff is amazing and so much fun to be around. Not to mention that the atmosphere in the gym is crazy fun and up beat. The music rocks!”

Student Spotlight: Abigail Morse

This adorable little gymnast is Abigail Morse. After every demanding day of 1st Grade at Abbett Elementary, Abigail gets to come burn off some energy at ASI Firewheel in our Gymnastics After School program! She gets a snack, homework help, and quality time with her friends on the trampolines, at the pit, and playing fun games like kickball, foursquare, and even crab soccer. Abigail loves coming to ASI when she gets out of school because she gets to be active and have fun.

Quote from Abigail

“I get to run around with my friends!”

Abigail has been coming to ASI for 4 years now. She started in a Tiny Tots class, but she’s working her way up the gymnastics ladder. In addition to the GAS program, Abigail also continues to improve her gymnastics skills in a Girls Bronze class. For one hour each week, she practices walking across the balance beam, jumping on the trampoline, running down the vault runway, and her favorite, swinging on the bars.

Quote from Abigail

“I love swinging on the bars!”

Even though Abigail loves playing in the gym and learning cool new gymnastics skills, her favorite thing about ASI is the coaches. We’re pretty crazy about our coaches too!

Quote from Abigail

“I love my coaches the most because they are so nice.”

Coaches Corner

Coach’s Corner: Anna Price

Anna Price is a fun new face at ASI Allen. Her friends and neighbors had been telling her for years that a coaching position at ASI was the job for her. This spring, she finally gave in, and she couldn’t be happier. Anna is right at home in the ASI Allen family.

Quote from Anna

“I love everyone I work with! All of the kids are so much fun to teach and all the coaches are so helpful and nice.”

Anna had a great time coaching at Camp Survivor this summer, and now she is coaching gymnastics classes. Anna started out working alongside experienced coaches, learning proven techniques and skills that she could use to help her students grow in their gymnastics abilities. Thanks to ASI’s comprehensive training process, she knows that she is truly offering her students the highest possible quality of gymnastics instruction.

Quote from Anna

“The coaches do a really good job of training you to be the best possible coach.”

Anna continues to learn and grow and develop as a coach, all to make sure she’s giving every child an incredible experience at ASI. In fact, she has impressed her students, their parents, her coworkers, and her supervisors so much, she was asked to coach a competitive team this season! Anna appreciates that ASI has made her realize her passion for coaching. As far as she is concerned, teaching kids is one of the most rewarding things a person can do, and now she gets to do it every day.

Quote from Anna

“The thing I love most about coaching is seeing a child accomplish a new skill. I love seeing how excited they are and the happiness they get from it!”

Good luck this season, Coach Anna! GO TEAM ASI!

Student Spotlight

Student Spotlight: Dylan Beskar

Dylan is a brand new student in the Gymnastics After School program at ASI Allen, but if you saw him out on the trampolines, you’d never guess he just started! This Marion Elementary kindergartener says his favorite subject at school so far has been recess. It’s a good thing he likes to play, because he gets an extra two hours to play after school, not to mention homework help, snack time, and creative games and challenges thanks to ASI!

Quote from Dylan

“I love the coaches because they’re so nice and fun!”

Even though Dylan has made so many new friends already this year in the GAS program, he says that what he loves the most about ASI is the coaches. Our coaches are committed to providing our kids with a fun, safe after-school experience, centered on positivity, so we’re glad Dylan is enjoying it!

Quote from Dylan

“I like to play and have fun with the other kids!”

Dylan loves to bounce on trampolines, and build up his muscles on the bars and the rings, but his favorite thing to do at ASI is to play in the foam pit. He loves to swing on the rope, and he is ASI Allen’s resident castle-building expert. He has enjoyed learning new gymnastics skills so much this year, gymnastics is his new favorite sport! Even though this is just his first year with ASI, Dylan is already at home. Now he can’t wait until his baby sister is old enough to come play too!

Coaches Corner

Coaches Corner: Brittany Watson

In case you haven’t heard, the coolest coach at ASI Firewheel is Brittany Watson! Brittany didn’t know anyone when she moved to Dallas from California, but after applying at ASI, her coworkers have become her family. She has worked her way up from an assistant coach to her current position as the Supervisor of our Gymnastics After School program. That’s what we call a hard worker!

Quote from Brittany

“When I interviewed for ASI, I felt right at home. Everyone was so welcoming and made me feel like I could be myself. That’s what it’s all about, and that’s what I try to pass on to the kids who come here.”

Brittany loves that she’s known as the “loud one” at ASI Firewheel, but we like to think of her as the fun one! Brittany’s positive attitude is contagious, and she gets to pass it on to the kids and coaches in her GAS program every day after school. Brittany gets to use her position as a supervisor to motivate and train new coaches, and it all comes back to building up her ASI family and making sure every kid has the best possible experience at ASI. Can you see why we like her so much?

Quote from Brittany

“ASI is all about the kids. Why not have a job that doesn’t feel like work? I can’t find a reason not to love what you do. So for anyone, young or old, who not only has a passion for kids but is a big kid at heart, ASI is the place for them.”
