Heidi's Gymnastics Girls Competitive Team
Heidi's Gym is now offering an exciting entry level gymnastics team for gymnasts wanting to experience the
discipline and qualities necessary for competition, as well as the rewards for hard work! In only our second year, we placed #67 in
the top 100 USA Gymnastics sanctioned gymnastics schools in the country for our high team score in the Make It Count Spectacular, held in Sevierville,
TN, one of only 5 teams in TN. to do so. * And we continue to improve. In
January 2022 we placed #10 in the USA Xcel Bronze level top 100 teams in the country for our team score in the OZONE Invitational, held in
Knoxville, TN.
Our goal is to give each gymnast the opportunity to be challenged in a positive, supportive program where she can find success
and pride through hard work, and special friendships can be made! Each gymnast will learn how to achieve goals and develop strong work
ethics. Our program is Christian based, with our team jackets monogrammed with Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things though Christ
which strengthens me." We have a group prayer before we compete.
We are offering the Xcel Program, a broad based, affordable, competitive experience outside the traditional Jr. Olympic program.
Routines are custom made where each child's strengths are highlighted.
Team work is encouraged, friendships are made, and being a team player is emphasized.
Advantages of the Xcel program taught at Heidi's Gym
Knoxville has quite a few big Gymnastic Schools, but did you know our Xcel bronze team has beaten some of the bigger gyms in our
category, and we are only one of 5 teams in Tennessee to make the USA gymnastics top 100 schools in February '21... all in only two
years since offering competitive level gymnastic in Knoxville?
Bigger is not always better, even in competitive gymnastics. Bigger teams mean more students needed for the teams. This could mean
less individualized attention, and inclusion of many girls needed to offset the high cost of big gyms.
If you're in the Knoxville area and want to be a part of a rapidly growing, dynamic Xcel team in east Tennessee,
give us a call.

How it all started for Heidi ...
Before I did gymnastics I would always do cartwheels and hand stands out side on the grass and anywhere I could find room.
I lived right across the street from my grammar school so when school was over I would go over to the play ground and swing on the
monkey bars for hours. I had asked my mom for years to put me in gymnastics and finally she did. She enrolled me in the YMCA
gymnastics program when I was 12. I absolutely loved my first class and after that first day I never stopped, I was absolutely in
love with the sport of gymnastics. It was a wonderful world of adventure, excitement, challenge, learning, dedication, and commitment
that I loved and embraced.
Heidi's dream and goals ...
When I was in college I would dream of owning my own gym someday. I know GOD put that in my heart and put all the pieces together.
Heidi's is absolutely a dream and a blessing from GOD and is built on Christian values/principles of love, honesty and fairness. I
want to be a great steward of the gift GOD gave (Heidi's). I don't want to ever look back and think I did not do my best to lift a
child's spirits up or encourage them to be the best they can be. My desire / my heart is for Heidi's to be a blessing to all the
families that come. I want the kids to have wonderful experiences of joy and memories filled with positive learning, with individual
success (each child is very special and unique and I want them to feel proud of what they have accomplished) I want them to gain
confidence in their abilities but also confidence in who GOD made them to be. My sincere hope is that I have created an atmosphere
of kindness, love, hope and at the same time taught kids how to work for a goal with determination and commitment. I hope these
lessons will stay with them and help them as they go onto different journeys in their lives. I cherish all the families that have
gone to Heidi's and that are coming to Heidi's.
Favorite Bible verse …
Philippians 4:13 : I can do all things through CHRIST who gives me strength.
Hobbies ...
