Hey there! My name is Cree, and I've worked at IGM for over a year now. I really enjoy getting to know the people I meet at the gym, and I absolutely love helping out with the cool events and sleepovers. Some of my favorite memories from IGM are from hilarious late-night costume contests, giant group games of Fox in the Henhouse, and all sorts of silly mid-day fun. It seems like every event I've been around for has been exciting for the kids, and that makes it fun for me to coach. I love getting to be goofy with kids while we play games, run around the gym, and go crazy! I hope I get a chance to see everyone at an IGM camp or sleepover this year!

Congratulations ladies and keep up the hard work! Good luck at the Wisconsin Dells Vacation Classic at the end of January!
From Coach Brittany
I love the sport of gymnastics. I have had a strong passion
for it ever since I began at the age of 2. It is a beautiful sport,
and you can learn so many cool tricks! I am in my 7th year of coaching
now, and I couldn't be happier. Working with the kids is my favorite
part. I love teaching them about gymnastics and life! The best part is
seeing their excited faces as they walk into the gym. I hope I am able
to coach for many years to come!
From Coach Travis
Howdy, y’all! My name is Travis Doig. I am new to IGM and am excited to be coaching your children! I came to IGM from Texas to help with the boys and recreational programs. I remember how much fun gymnastics was (and still is) growing up, and it is great to see the excitement on the gymnasts’ faces each time they come to class. Not only do I want to make the sport fun, but I also hope to teach them a little bit about life through gymnastics. Gymnastics is a tough sport. It takes hard work and dedication to learn skills. Sometimes a gymnast learns the skills quickly and without much effort, but other times it takes multiple turns and drills to achieve. Once that skill is achieved, though, everyone knows about it. I think that the same goes for life. To achieve goals, whether the goal is to be valedictorian, a doctor or earn a college degree, we go through “drills.” Some parts come easily, and others we have to work at, but when we finally achieve those goals… everybody knows about them! This is why I coach.
