Dreams Gymnastics 1st Year Anniversary

I can’t think of any owner who worked harder getting her new club up to speed.

Ashley Sportun — as expected — pulled it off with style.

Her Dreams Gymnastics Academy in Edmonton is one year old. I love the branding.

Everything was going well with the new business, then the COVID-19 pandemic unexpectedly struck. Ashley’s now planning to gradually reawaken Dreams.

We wish her well.

To celebrate, coaches gathered in the parking lot. Gymnasts drove by to wish them well.
