T&T Gymnast Flies in GK Leotard

Is it possible for a girl to fly?  If you are Charlotte Drury, the answer is YES! Charlotte, a Senior Elite Trampolinist and member of the USA Gymnastics National T&T Team knows what it takes to achieve her level of success and stands by the fact that GK truly is the Choice of Champions.

For any trampolinist, the need for leotards to fit long, slender, athletic body types is a necessity, and if a leo doesn't fit like a GK, then it has no business in the high-intensity world of T&T. However, for this 16-year-old from Laguna Niguel, there is one more extremely important factor... if you are going to win, WIN IN STYLE! Charlotte loves the flattering GK leotard designs and the comfort they provide. 

Charlotte was very excited to design a competition leotard for this year and the help she received from her GK Gymnastics Sales Rep, Kiana Ross, made the process easy and fun.  Charlotte's leotard is GK's Stunning Swirl Competition Leotard 9549, a long sleeve gymnastics leo featuring a classic neckline & scoop back with exquisite swirl design on the bodice and back.  Charlotte modified the sleeves to a comfortable 3/4 length and then chose White Mystique, Navy Mystique, and Steel Mystique fabrics.  The combination is beautiful and Clear SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS add the perfect finishing touch. 

Charlotte and her teammates at World Elite Gymnastics have an exciting road ahead and GK is exited & proud to be a part of it and will be cheering them on along the way!

Cheraw Gymchamps Choose GK for Competition

The Cheraw Gymchamps Gymnastics Team is part of the Cheraw Gymnastics Program in Cheraw, South Carolina.  Approximately 60 senior and junior team members make up the team which competes all over South Carolina.  The Gymchamps recently debuted their new GK gymnastics leotards for competition.  Vicki Walker, Cheraw Gymnastics Head Coach & Director, said, "Cheraw Gymnastics proudly chose to use GK again for our competitive gymnastics attire because of the great customer service and competitive pricing! I was looking for a new team leotard over the summer and met GK Gymnastics Sales Representative, Amanda Banks, at the Region 8 Congress in Nashville. She was so patient with me as I changed my mind almost every day on the leotard colors. Even when I returned home, she helped me every step of the way as we designed the leotard, sized my team, and placed our order. She even helped me get dealer status so that I could order the same design in a sleeveless leotard for my junior team at the dealer price! When the girls saw the new leotards for the first time, their response was priceless! I can honestly say that I have a very happy Junior and Senior team! We recently debuted our new leotards in competition and we got wonderful comments from coaches, judges, and parents! I tried two other companies before GK and I can honestly say that GK provides the best customer service and their Sales Reps are top notch! I am thankful to have GK and Amanda Banks outfitting my Gym Champs team!"
 
For the Senior Team, Cheraw's chose GK's Asymmetrical Flame Competition Gymnastics Leotard 7546, an asymmetrical competitive gymnastics leotard featuring two-tone design, off-set back, and a unique binding strap on the right shoulder.  For fabrics, Cheraw chose Black Mystique, Blue Raspberry Mystique, and Vinca Mystique.  Brilliance SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS were added to the binding strap and body appliques.  The same fabrics were then used to create a custom tank gymnastics leotard for the Junior Team.  The tank leo design echoes the style of the long sleeve competition leotard with an asymmetrical neck, binding strap, and body appliques.

GK Catches Up with Team USA Gold Medalist, Kyla Ross

At a recent photo shoot for the 2013 catalog featuring women's competitive gymnastics leotards, GK had the chance to sit & chat with Kyla Ross, member of the gold medal winning "Fierce Five" Women's Gymnastics Team.

GK: Congrats on bringing home Gold for Team USA!  What was it like to represent Team USA in London?

Kyla: Getting to go out there and compete, not only for yourself, but for Team USA, was such an honor, knowing that everyone is supporting you.  We didn’t even realize until we got home how many people were watching the Olympics, supporting us, and cheering us on.  It was a huge deal.

GK: How has your life changed now that you’re an Olympian?

Kyla: The first few months when I got back were kind of hectic.  We were doing so much and going so many places.  But now, it’s kind of cooled down and I’ve been back to school and back in the gym training.

GK: You’ve had so many great experiences since London, what was your most memorable?

Kyla: Definitely, meeting President Obama was a huge honor!  It was amazing to be in the oval office and see everything and to be able to meet the President.

GK: Now that the Olympics are over, what are you focused on?

Kyla: I am focused on training and I’m looking forward to competing this season and hopefully bringing something new to the table. 

GK: So, do you plan to compete next season at Championships?

Kyla: Yes, I’m planning on competing in championships and getting out there with everyone else, enjoy it, and do my best.

GK: What advice would you give to your fans?

Kyla: To all my fans, I would say to reach your goals, you always have to focus and do your best.  Some days might be tough, but you just have to keep training hard in the gym and be dedicated to your sport.

GK wishes Kyla the best of luck this gymnastics season.  Stay tuned to the GK Gymnastics Blog for announcements regarding the 2013 Women's Competitive Catalog.  There's still time to shop the 2012 Catalog here.

Williams Gymnastics Chooses GK for Optional Team

The Williams Center for Dance & Gymnastics in Fayetteville, Arkansas recently competed at the 2012 Trojan Classic hosted by Jenks Gymnastics, in Jenks, Oklahoma on November 30th - December 2nd.  The athletes and their coach were very proud of the GK gymnastics leotards they sported for the event. 

Williams chose GK's Special Order Asymmetrical Tear Drop Gymnastics Leotard 7462 from the 2012 Women's Competitive Catalog.  Taking advantage of GK's infinite possibilities, Williams picked out fabrics first, deciding on Black Mystique for the bodice of the leotard and Black Mesh for the upper body and 3/4 length sleeves.  White Mystique and brilliance SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS were used to create the tear drop design on the front and back of the gymnastics leotard.  The Black Mesh on the upper body and sleeves sparkle with more brilliance SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS for a dramatic & elegant look.

Williams Gymnastics worked with their GK Sales Representive, Ms. June Blackman, to get the leotard they wanted.  Click here to find your local GK Gymnastics Representative to get started on your new GK gymnastics leotard design.
