I began Xtreme Tumblers when: During Covid, all the gyms closed down and kids all over were stuck bored at home with minimal exercise so I started offering in-home private lessons. My list of athletes kept growing and it involved a lot of traveling all over Eustis, Mount Dora, Tavares and Grand Island. All the moms kept cheering me on and telling me I should open a brick and mortar location so I set out to find an affordable location in my own hometown.

I teach: Private tumbling lessons for beginners to level 5 tumbling, toddler tumble group lessons for ages 18 months old to 5 years old and school-aged group lessons for ages 5 and up. I also have a homeschool co-op class during the day. We offer fun private gym birthday parties and Friday night glow parties.

I knew I wanted to open my own company when: In the summer of 2020 I found out I was allergic to almost all foods. It put me in a bad place for a while because I had to change basically my whole life. I decided I would have to start my own business where I can ensure nothing dangerous to my health would affect me while I was still able to make a living financially.

My greatest quality is: Patience. It’s the number one compliment I get from all the parents. With a room full of energized and excited toddlers and students that doubt themselves until they gain that self-confidence, it’s the best quality to have. 

A saying I live by: “Kindness costs nothing.” 

My inspiration is: My mom. She drove me around day and night when I was doing private lessons for clients at their homes. She helped me to open the gym and has been there for anything I need; advice, experience, etc. I know it hasn’t always been easy on her but she has kept me pushing forward and always supports everything I love. 

My future plans are: Business-wise, I just want to prove to my athletes that they can do amazing things in the future. Lifewise, I really just want to be able to afford a trip to Hawaii one day.
