MIKE
Owner Hometown: Seal Beach, CA
Has been working at The Klub since: 2005
Hobbies: Gymnastics, of course. But I also love hiking all over LA, hitting the beach and seeing any show at the Hollywood Bowl.
Favorite Book, TV Show, or Movie: Star Wars Episode 4 for my favorite movie and Seinfeld for my favorite TV show.
Fun fact:. When I was in 7th grade we had an assignment to build my dream home on graph paper. I built a gymnastics center with a place to put my bed (it was near the trampoline of course). This amazing gym also came with a helicopter pad because why not?!
What's your gymnastics background?: I was a recreational gymnast through grade school and always thought it was really fun...and easy. By the time I was in Junior High, I started competing and worked out over 20 hours a week. Oddly enough I stopped competing between my Sophomore year in High School and my Junior year in college, CSUF...GO TITANS! I was very lucky to have extremely supportive coaches in college who allowed me the crazy dream of coming back and competing 2 last seasons before I officially retired. They were the best two years of my life.
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?: A gymnast...that's all I ever wanted to be, well besides being 6 ft tall (unfortunately that never happened).
If you could choose a superpower, what would it be?: Flying...that's probably why I love gymnastics so much. You put in an amazing amount of power and launch yourself into the air as high and for as long as you can. It's the closest thing to flying besides flapping actual wings.
