A recreational gym for kids who just want to move

Head coach

Coach Melana

Hi, I'm Coach Melana. If "Melana" is a mouthful for the little ones, Coach Lana works just as well.

I've been coaching gymnastics and youth sports for a couple of years now, but movement has been my whole life. I started gymnastics young, which led me straight into CrossFit and just about every other sport I could get my hands on. That's 15+ years of being active in sports and fitness. Somewhere in there I spent a lot of time training around the USA Gymnastics team, sitting in on their practices and learning from some of the best in the country.

Here's what I'm actually here for: there's nothing better than watching a child grow in confidence and start to believe in themselves. My job is to build a space that's fun, safe, and welcoming, where your child can ease in at their own comfort level. A little encouragement, a real connection, and celebrating the small wins go a long way in helping a nervous kiddo feel at home.

I get it from both sides, too. I'm a mom to a wild, energetic 3-year-old, so I know firsthand that children are constantly learning to handle big emotions and growing bodies all at once. I love giving them a place to build confidence, pick up new skills, and simply enjoy being little. (And if I could own one of every animal ever, I would. I've got a small zoo and counting, plus that 3-year-old, so let's just say I thrive in chaos.)

I can't wait to meet your child.
