NANCY TAYLOR – OWNERNancy Taylor grew up in Hood River, Oregon where she rode the bus after school to gymnastics classes several days each week. If she wasn’t at the gym you could find her at a dance class or piano lessons.

As a young girl she was very shy and gymnastics gave her the confidence and strength to come out of her shell and make a lot of new friendships. In 1993 she married her high school sweetheart and they have 3 children. When she had children of her own she wanted them to take gymnastics classes as well. Her gymnastics experience allowed her the opportunity to volunteer at her children’s gymnastics school.
