PIONEER

Pioneer’s President Danielle S McKinnon grew up in this gym and her coaches taught her far more than a cartwheel, back handspring or how to compete in gymnastics nationally. This gym became an extended family and her training taught valuable life skills and lessons. To this day her closest friends are those who did gymnastics with her throughout her career. When Danielle purchased Pioneer in 2004 from her previous mentor and coach, she wanted to use it as a platform to inspire each and every child to dream big and to work hard for something they want. She envisioned a facility where all would be treated equal regardless of ability. Danielle wanted to create a culture and community where families would find caring professionals working tirelessly with their children to achieve their goals and have their children feel valued for who they are and not what they did. Taking her experience as a level 10 gymnast, coach, judge, business owner, mother of two and a M.S. in Psychology, Danielle brings all of these perspectives together to form the vision of what Pioneer is, and what Pioneer does to build and unlock each child’s potential.

We hope you feel the passion and excitement that our staff works so hard to create with each child. We welcome you to become apart of the Pioneer Family.
