at a lot of great gyms. I’ve been able to pull all the best ideas ... and put them all into one thing that we’ve created here,” Austin said. About the business When Texas Twisters Gymnastics rst opened, it had three coaches, including Austin. Now, there are 25 coaches on sta with classes Monday through Saturday. The gym oers recreational adult and youth classes, day camps, programs for home-schooled students, birthday parties, open-gym time and more. Children can start taking classes at 1 year old, with parent participation. The gym has four levels: beginner, intermedi- ate, elite and advanced elite. At age 6, kids can join the beginner classes where the structure moves from an age-based program to skill-based. Also of note Texas Twisters Gymnastics also has a competi- tive team for children who are qualied and want more commitment. The team is tryout-based, and travels around Texas for competitions. The Austins hope to add a new level to the
program each year until they reach Level 10, which is the top of the USA Gymnastics scale. What’s special about it? The Austins wanted their gym to value quality over quantity. To them, this means oering lower time commitment options and a healthier environment. “We really care about the kids’ well-being in the gym,” Todd Austin said. “We’ll never be the kind of gym where coaches are yelling at the kids, and they’re crying because they couldn’t hit a skill.” Todd Austin said they recognize many children won’t stay in gymnastics for long, and the couple wants students to look back at their time as a positive experience. Looking ahead Since opening in 2024, Texas Twisters Gymnas- tics has grown to around 600 attendees. To accom- modate the growing number of participants, the Austins are working toward moving to a bigger gym. “This space was a great start, but we always knew it was too small,” Austin said.
Becky and Todd Austin, along with their children, opened the gymnastics facility in 2024.
