VIDEO – Great West Gym Fest 2024

I’ve volunteered many times at the Great West Gym Fest in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho — close to Spokane.

It’s easily the best Invitational I’ve ever attended.

For hosts Dave & Lisa Adlard, I put together a highlights VIDEO trying to show just how FUN this competition is for the kids. Every aspect of the meet is FUN.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

Transforming the luxurious Coeur d’Alene Resort into a Gym is no small feat.

Click PLAY or watch a timelapse on YouTube. Donny Gardiner had a little help this year. 😀
