Kim’s Gym prides itself on finding the best coaches around. Each of our coaches is trained in teaching gymnastics and understands the importance of patience, an upbeat attitude, and constant enthusiasm. They not only teach the kids gymnastics or cheerleading, but they have fun with the kids…isn’t that what it is all about? Our coaches are CPR/AED Certified.
Hi Everyone! My name is Jess Reger and I am the new owner of Kim’s Gym. I grew up in New Jersey, moved to Florida to attend University of North Florida, and then made my move to Austin in 2012. I have an amazing son Ryan who was born in 2017. I began gymnastics when I was five years old. I started to compete in the 1st grade and continued to do so through level 9 and my 10th grade year. From 3rd grease through High School, I was involved in cheerleading as well competitively. When I first moved to Austin, I began coaching gymnastics at Kim’s Gym as well as Champions Academy at WAYA in 2012. I love gymnastics and cheerleading and sharing this passion with our youth. I continued to coach at amazing gyms and have found my forever home. I purchased Kim’s Gym in June 2021, and am excited to continue the legacy that has been built over the last 2 decades.
I believe recreational gymnastics provides self confidence, a healthy view of staying in shape, constant positive reinforcement, and is just plain fun. I continue to attend gymnastics conferences, am a member of the Gymnastics Association of Texas, and am safety certified by USA Gymnastics.
If I haven’t met you yet, please be sure that you introduce yourself. I love to be able to match up all of our wonderful students with their parents. Thank you again for sharing your amazing children with us.
Class and Team Coach
Hey! I am Coach Emma. I started gymnastics when I was 7 years old and was quickly moved on to the gym’s competitive team. I had to take a step back, though, in middle school due to a back injury, but continued practicing casually through High School at Austin Gymnastics Club where I also started coaching! I coached recreation gymnastics as well as competitive women’s gymnastics levels 4-7 while at AGC. I took a break to attend college at the University of Houston where I joined their club gymnastics team and became club president. I graduated with a bachelor of science this last winter and started coaching at Kim’s Gym this semester! My favorite gymnastics event is beam and I absolutely love when a kid learns a new skill. It is so satisfying to see all their hard work pay off and how excited they get to show everyone.
Coach & Birthday Director
Hello! My name is Rachel and I was born and raised in Texas. I am a cat mom to a delightful and brilliant cat. I enjoy being active outdoors and snuggling inside reading a good book. I started recreational gymnastics at age 5. Gymnastics taught me foundational skills as well as conditioning that I would need in future sports. At the age of 10, I started competing in competitive cheerleading. I was able to do competitive and school cheerleading through the age of 19. I began coaching cheerleading and tumbling at Powerhouse Cheer and Fitness when I was 17 years old. When I moved to Austin, I coached gymnastics at Acrotex Gymnastics and Cheer. I am excited to have the opportunity to coach here at Kim’s Gym! I am elated to share my passion for gymnastics and cheerleading with the next generation! Gymnastics engages children in movement and enrichment. It’s a great tool for foundational development. I am fortunate to find a gym that creates a unique experience for each child by focusing on the positives of gymnastics.
Coach
This is my first year and I’m excited to meet everyone. I grew up dancing and cheering in my home town. After high school I went into teaching. My favorite part about being with children are the smiles I get to see everyday and watching them learn and grow. I am excited to watch your child develop new skills and enjoy being with friends while having fun!
