Celebrate 100!!

February 24, 2009 by Tom & Reiko Beach

GymSmarts Celebrates

Last month we went over 100 in our DVD selections…

So we thought we would take some time to reflect & celebrate!!

In late 2004 we launched Gymsmarts.com offering 9 DVDs from 5 coaches, When we did a search for instructional gymnastics DVDs or videos, nothing substantial came up, we were elated when we got our first order… Fast forward to 2009, we have brought 34 top gymnastics coach’s and their information to people all over the world!!

In the spirit of our celebration, we thought it would be fun to:

Show you the top 10 DVDs for 2008, make sure that you have these in your library!
Start a Facebook group…look us up in Facebook: GymSmarts Community - Gymnastics Group, become a member for specials and updates, upload photos and interesting links.
