A great article on Gymfinity Gymnastics' newest coach

This artilcle was taken from www.examiner.com It was written by Jim Evans


"Veteran gymnastics coach Luis Ignacio “Nacho” Nava has joined the staff at Livermore’s Gymfinity Gymnastics, the Tri-Valley’s premier gymnastics center. Nava brings more than 30 years of coaching experience and, because of his extensive background in artistic rollerskating and artistic gymnastics, is particularly skilled in teaching balance beam and floor exercises.

As an athlete, Nacho represented Mexico in two world championships in artistic rollerskating and three times attended the Olympic Training Center. He became good friends with famed Olympic gymnastics coach Bela Karolyi at his summer camp in 1998. Nacho left school to compete in the world artistic rollerskating championships after three years of study majoring in physics at the Universidad Autonoma de Mexico but later continued his education in the U.S. where he earned an AA degree at City College of San Jose followed by a BS in Chemistry at San Jose State University with a minor in Physics and a concentration in Nuclear Science.

Nacho coached recreational and preschool gymnastics early in his career and coached at several Bay Area programs including Airborne Gymnastics in Santa Clara; San Jose State University (under Jackie Walker); West Valley Gymnastics in Campbell where he had the opportunity to work with Mark Young, coach of two-time Olympian Andy Chow; and Head Over Heels in Emeryville.

He now joins the staff at Gymfinity, owned and operated by longtime gymnastics coach and competitor Julianne Pimental and her husband Jerod. “Nacho is a enthusiastic and knowledable coach who brings a new light to the recreactional program,” says Juli. He will be heading up our summer camps and activities.”

Located at 230 S. Vasco Road in Livermore, Gymfinity (www.gymfinitygymnastics.com) boasts more than 250 students from 12 months to 65 years of age offering competitive and recreational gymnastics, summer camps, dance (ballet, tap, jazz), cheer/tumbling, fitness, parties, and more. The facility is equipped with top-of-the line equipment and is within close proximity to the communities of Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin, Mt. House, Brentwood, and Tracy among others.

“The friendliness and cordiality of the Gymfinity staff makes the whole gym feel like one big family,” says Nacho. “It’s exciting to work for such an enthusiastic and committed group of people. I hope to instill in each of the students the ‘Olympic spirit’ and to set a high – but achievable – standard of excellence,” he adds, “and to increase the number of students by helping them realize the benefits of gymnastics.”

What does he enjoy most about working with young gymnasts? “They have no limits,” says Nacho with a knowing smile. "Adults tend to be set in their ways, but youngsters don’t know what is impossible. But, if you don’t label something as ‘impossible,’ they will often make it possible.” "

Gymfinity has recently released its new summer schedule of events and activities including news about its upcoming Spring Performance on June 19. For information about activities readers can contact Gymfinity at 925-960-9440 or gymfinityinfo@yahoo.com .

Another update is for the upcoming kids night out on Oct. 24th from 7pm-11pm , that's right we've added an extra hour of fun time to give the grown ups a little more time to do their own pre-Halloween fun stuff.

Thanks to everyone for all the support

Jerod here checking back in. It has been quite a while since my last blog post, and several weeks since i've been in the gym, so I wanted to let everyone know that I'm do still exist, and that I'm doing much better.
I also wanted to thank everyone for your thoughts and prayers as I've been going through my health issues. The doctors seem pleased with my progress and the last of my test results should come in this week. If all that comes back clear then it should just be a simple matter of taking a couple pills a day, and taking it easy for a few months to let everything heal up.
I'll be coming into the gym again to help out and do some light work, and will be working on the gym website and online presence a bit more as well. Part of this will include more gym updates as well as doing some gymnast bio's and highlights of things the girls are doing in the gym.
I hope everyone is having a great summer, and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Jerod
