Competitive Gymnastics
Our Competitive Gymnastics teams have shown the Pacific Northwest what the sport is all about for years! We've invested heavily in a team atmosphere with top coaches. Among them is Li Lu, who's a former Olympian! And Bob Young, whose influence and trophies we stopped keeping track of years ago!
Simply put, if you want your child's life to significantly improve in the areas of athleticism, strenght, mental toughness, and a powerful sense of team, then BHG is where you need to bring them!
Li Lu
Girls Team Director
Li just joined our team in June of 2017. She comes to us with a whopping 18 years of dedicated gymnastic coaching. Currently, she serves as the director of our girl's competitive team. One of her main goals is to make BHG the top gym in the region! A key part of this, according to Li is laying down a stable foundation, both physically and mentally. She’s a former Olympian, so she knows what training is needed and how to deliver it to our athletes have the best chances for growth.
“Whenever issues come, I take care of them right away. I always talk to the gymnast talk to them about it, find out what they’re thinking and feeling, and make adjustments accordingly. After a lifetime in the sport, I’m intuitive and have the knowledge to take care of the issue.”
