Leo

For nearly five years, Leo has been a familiar face in the East YMCA gymnastics program. 

Through gymnastics, Leo has learned the value of perseverance and hard work. Each new skill requires focus, practice, and determination. Leo shared that it gymnastics helps him develop body strength and teaches him how to push himself to achieve his goals.

Beyond the physical benefits, the YMCA has provided Leo with a supportive community where he can learn alongside others, build friendships, and encourage his teammates. When asked why others should join gymnastics, his answer was simple: "Because they would be good company."
