Why Gymnastics?

Most healthy children have an innate need to play, move, run, jump and climb. Gymnastics provides the perfect structure and opportunity to do all of these things. At NorthWind, we strive to nurture that limitless energy and channel it into fun and rewarding activities and skills. Gymnastics training and conditioning improves strength and muscle tone while reinforcing coordination, movement and balance. Gymnastics helps growing children learn to be comfortable in their bodies and reinforces postive self-image. Concerned that your kids are spending too much time in front of TV? Get them off the couch and into the Gym! Contact us today for more information!

Team NorthWind helps unveil the newest American Girl Doll at North Point Mall!

January 1st and 2nd are two of the busiest days of the year for the American Girl Doll Store at North Point Mall. The big event is the release of their newest doll and girl of the year. This year they chose NorthWind to help them launch McKenna, a gymnast and girl of the year for 2012. Eight of our very own Team NorthWind girls were chosen to help with giveaways, performances and interactive gymnastics participation along with Elena and Inesa their coaches. The girls ranged from 7-12 years old and from levels 4-10. The event was a huge success. We are super excited for this opportunity and we are so proud of our girls!

Coach Victor's Fight Against Cancer Update

As most of you know already Coach Victor was diagnosed with Hodgekin’s Lymphoma last spring. He underwent a full summer’s worth of chemotherapy and started a bout of radiation therapy this past fall. He finished up radiation just before the holidays and received a certificate from the hospital as being officially cancer free and in remission. We are so happy the treatment went so well, and thank you to everyone who  has been so supportive throughout this tough medical issue.

On a more personal note, congratulations to Victor for getting engaged. We wish you and Tatiana  a world of happiness in your new life together.
