"Coach Karen is a fantastic gymnastics coach! She coached my 2 daughters (ages 5 and 7) and both they and I loved her. She has a warm, friendly persona that the kids love, yet she can be firm (and listened to) when the kids need it. She communicates well with the parents too and definitely knows the finer points to keep your kids safe while having fun!" —Laurie Z, NC

"I'm so excited about this new gym opening in Greensboro by my daughter's compulsory coach, Karen Phillips. She was such a great coach because she was patient, kind, and loving to all the girls. She always maintained a high level of energy and always had a smile. Throughout the 5 years she trained and taught my little girl gymnastics, her approach was just what she needed to be successful as a young gymnast. There is no substitution for a solid foundation, which is exactly what coach Karen provides to all her little athletes." --- Tamara C, NC
