Kyle Shewfelt Gymnastics, Calgary
Kyle Shewfelt Gymnastics is a new club in Canada.
Business is great. The club booming. I stopped by to interview Kyle and Krystal as to “best practice” in non-competitive Gymnastics.
Though Kyle is an Olympic Gold medalist, their mission is to “become Calgary and Canada’s leader in non-competitive gymnastics programming“.
The facility is clean and bright. The vision clear to anyone who walks in the door.
