FUNdamental Gymnastics “Yeah for a Name”

Derek R — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 12:03:08 +0000

For years now, and I am talking 13, we have been looking for the right name that encompasses our principles of our Pre School and Instructional Gymnastics Classes. I don’t know how we can be so excited about a name but we are. We have brainstormed many times and did not come up with a name that did our program justice. And now we have it. Not to laugh at ourselves but it was a word that we use daily and even the foundation for our mission statement. I guess it just needed to be said in the right place at the right time. FUNTASTICS is “FUNdamental”. Everything we do at Funtastics is based off the basic, underlying, essential foundation of strength, fitness, flexibility, balance, coordination, sportsmanship and discipline. In other words living a healthy lifestyle. Mind, Body and Soul. It is what we are about and why we do what we do. This is why FUNdamental is the perfect name for our core business. It is also nice to come to an end of a 13 year journey and can now watch it blossom from where it is to where we always knew it could go. Thanks to Deb for saying it, Barbara E for keeping it going, all of our amazing coaches that make it special for the kids everyday, Marcia and Deb for helping take it further and you for supporting your kids through it. We at Funtastics are sure you will see the effects of it for years to come.

MAINTENANCE WEEK A HUGE SUCCESS!!

Derek R — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 12:36:56 +0000

Your coaches surely didn’t take the week off when we closed for maintenance week!

Deb and Marcia put together and implemented Funtastics new, never ending mobility testing for all Level 1 – 3 FUNdamental Gymnastics Classes. It was a huge project and your children will love being able to give you updated progress on their gymnastics every week. Be on the look out for your child’s name on the website for progress in their skills and when they move up levels.

Donny reorganized the boy’s area, maintained the equipment and finished up many projects around the gym he has wanted to get to.

Donny also did the amazing job of dusting the trophy cabinet. And everyone appreciates that!!!

Rachael, Lisa, Barbara D, Teri and Barbara E along with Deb and Marcia straightened, organized and cleaned into the corners of the gym and you would have to be blind not to see the difference.

Derek straightened up the outside and lobby areas and added a few bits of technology for the coaches.

Teri updated the Birthday Board. I know all the kids are enjoying the cupcakes.

Mary decorated The Vault for the fall season (you have to check out the lighting and decor) and it is gorgeous!

In other words our goals of cleanliness and what we are able to offer our customers are being met and we so look forward to the up coming year.

Oh yeah! Did you see the beautiful new carpet under the balance beams and floor strip? (Thanks Shawn!)
