“In today’s economy, everyone is looking for the best value. Value means you are getting the most for your money, and that’s how I feel when we purchase GK for our teams. Penny for penny, GK apparel will outlast, out perform and out shine all the competition. It’s great to know you can still depend on someone to stand behind their product and leave one less thing to worry about as you prepare to compete. Just one more reason Brown’s gyms continue to wear that GK logo”.

GK began making the Junior Olympics Leotards and Warm Ups in 1984. But the first time we were seen on the National stage was in Region 5 (Think Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio).  Up to this time, Teams went to Championships in their individual club apparel.

The Gymnastics Region 5 team, led by Ron Ganim of Gymnastics World in Broadview Heights, Ohio, outfitted his squad in GK. When his region paraded out in their specially made Leotards, and Warm ups, USA-Gymnastics took notice.  By 1984, they contracted with GK to make them all!

Over the years, the program has grown to include new gymnastics disciplines and programs, and Elite has never flinched,  including Mens Gymnastics, Womens & girls gymnastics, as well as Trampoline and Tumbling. Today, as official apparel supplier to USA Gymnastics' Junior Olympic and Grassroots Development programs, GK outfits the very important developmental youth teams and programs for all five disciplines of gymnastics. Programs such as Future Stars, TOPS, the Level 9 East & West Championships, and the Jump Start Development program all receive the benefit of Elite’s special touch.

Ron still had a couple pictures from Back in the Day. First we see 1983 Gym World JO attendee Michelle Reyes - Posing with the Olympic Eagle in Her GK Region 5 Gymnastics Warm Ups. Send - Flash Forward to 1985 at the JO National Championships. Note the Different Colored Pants indicating the colors of Each Region. This color trend continues today.

Thanks to Ron and Joan for the Photos!

P.S. If anyone has any other photos from back in the early days, please forward them to us (ecommerce@gkelite.com) with a small story. We will include them on our blog, with your permission!
