RTR

Quick life update: Dustin and I wanted to thank our RTR family for all the support over the years. 2 days after the first picture (3 days after our final class), we welcomed our son into the world. If you see either of us in the community, don't be a stranger. Each and every one of you played such a vital role in our lives and very much so helped us prepare for this new chapter called Parenthood. We can't thank you enough. ❤️❤️❤️

Took the heroes of our lock-in out for some breakfast after everyone was picked up this morning. Shout out to Lynn and Hadlee for sticking it out all night with the kiddos! Thank you Dustin for getting the projector set up, and huge thank you to Brian and Morgan Wilson for providing the delicious dinner for all of us!

Gymnastics, board/card games, frisbee, great food, Just Dance, movies, glow stick parties. Last night's lock-in was a success! Thank you everyone for coming and thank you to everyone who contributed! Everyone stayed through the night and everyone left with all their bones intact. 🙏 We couldn't be more grateful. 🥰

Open house has begun! We can't tell if the kids or Coach Hadlee is having more fun. Doors are open til 9:30 if you still want to join the lock-in!

Lock-in waivers are at the gym available to all current and past gymnasts. Parents welcome to stay for food beginning at 5pm! We could still use some volunteers as well! See you Friday!

Here is the info for the lock in! Don’t hesitate to ask any questions! Let us know if you can make it so we can get a head count for food😂

Lock-in planned for Sept. 19th starting at 5pm! More details to come! Let us know if you'll be joining!

✨ RTR Update ✨

Hello All,
After a lot of thought and consideration, I’ve made the difficult decision to close RTR after September’s classes. This hasn’t been easy — my heart has truly struggled with this decision — but ultimately I know it’s the right step for Dustin and me as we prepare to welcome our own little one. 💛

I want to thank every single family who has trusted me and the RTR coaches with your kids. Watching them grow, gain confidence, and cheer each other on has been the greatest joy for us. The memories we’ve built together are ones I’ll always treasure. 🥹

To give us all a chance to celebrate, we’ll be holding an open house/open gym gathering (details coming soon). I’d love for everyone to join as we close this chapter together.

For families who want to continue gymnastics, I’ll be sharing a list of trusted gyms in the area so your kids can keep doing what they love.

From the bottom of my heart — thank you for letting me be a part of your children’s journey. I’ll always be cheering them on, wherever they go next. 💛
