We are so excited to be serving children from all over the Miami Valley and sharing our love of gymnastics, martial arts, and sports education in a non-competitive recreational environment!  We believe these activities will not only develop a child's flexibility, strength, and coordination, but can also provide self-confidence that they can use in all aspects of their lives!  We want to be the Gym Where Learning and Turning is FUN!

She proudly serves as a Traditional Reservist with the 445th Airlift Wing at Wright-Patterson AFB as a Flight and Operational Medical Technician. Michelle is a U.S. Air Force Veteran, a Nationally Certified EMT, and holds certifications in CPR, NCSI, FBI, and BCI Background Checks. She is also USA Gymnastics Director Certified and Executive Level Certified.

As the Lead Coach, Ms. Michelle brings over 20 years of martial arts experience and holds a 3rd-degree black belt. She has taught Tae-Kwon-Do, Jiu-Jitsu, and Muay Thai to a wide range of students and has competed at high levels in forms, sparring, weapons, and grappling—earning state-level champion honors. Michelle has coached competitive teams to multiple tournament wins and led demonstration teams that have performed for large-scale events, including the Harlem Globetrotters.
