Kim Shoemaker is Energy Gymnastics’ office manager. She has learned to roll with the changes in ownership that have taken place at Energy Gymnastics. Kim ‘met’ Energy through piano lessons for her daughter, Presley, when the gym also offered music classes. Presley is still involved with classes at Energy – gymnastics classes. 

“It’s sort of funny” Kim says, “that the music activities that brought me and Presley to Energy left with the previous owners. Now I help run the office – and Presley enjoys the gymnastics classes Energy offers.” 

Kim’s story only makes sense if you know Presley’s story.

Presley had a challenging entry into the world. She was born early with a collapsed lung and some minor physical issues. But Presley, a determined eight-year-old with plenty of fight in her, wanted to do gymnastics.

According to Kim, “Gymnastics is something we thought would be too physically challenging for Presley.” After all, she had her mom-a former gymnast, college cheerleader and coach, and her sister-a level 4 state champion gymnast to look up to for inspiration. 

The proud mom noted “Presley worked hard to earn a place on a Level 3 team and has just mastered her back flip.”

Presley’s determination and positive spirit have been a force in helping her land a team spot in a sport that didn’t seem meant for her. Gymnastics has become a stabilizing factor for Presley.  

Kim’s story with Energy Gymnastics 

Kim has worked through her own challenges.

As Presley progressed with gymnastics, Kim was taking on new roles in the administrative office at Energy. Starting off as the part time office manager, Kim now does the work the business manager was handling – which is all new to her – and spending many, many hours in the office.

Of course, this is fine with Presley who would prefer to live at the gym!
