“Celebrating 20 years of Flipping Mukilteo”

On October 17th 1994 GYMagine Gymnastics open its doors for business here in Mukilteo. Owner and founder Kelly Donyes still smiles when he sees the morning preschoolers and afternoon school age children come through the doors excited to learn something new in gymnastics.

Kelly’s passion for gymnastics began in 1974 and would one day find its way to pen and paper in the form of a business plan in 1994. "My very first student was a little 5 years old girl named Katie, she only had one leg. Katie had a prosthetic but you would know it because she was a fast runner. She would out performed most of the other students in her class and was always smiling. I knew from the first day how special GYMagine Gymnastics would be in the lives of young people here in Mukilteo."

After 20 years of serving the Mukilteo community GYMagine has also provided hundreds of young High School and College students their first employment opportunity.

The championship banners of gymnasts and their accomplishments hanging from the ceiling at GYMagine represent the thousands of students and coaches that passed through the doors of GYMagine giving so many positive memories for a life time.

Kelly is still coaching the sport he so passionately loves but not the overwhelming hours he used to in the beginning years. “I now enjoy coaching coaches and young gymnasts a couple of times a week. It never gets old even though I am getting older”. 

Kelly attributes all of GYMagine’s success to the wonderful staff that have helped build this dream of his. Today GYMagine is led by Susan Riley (gym manager, head coach), team coaches and mentors Angela Cruz, Victoria Batie and Kyla Riley. They now shoulder the load of dreams and possibilities for our gymnast.

Our motto is “Never impossible, when Im-possible”
