Creating Moments That Matter

To Love And Nurture All Children Through Meaningful Play

My Gym was born out of our passion to teach children in a fun, physically engaging environment. We delighted in seeing children's eyes light up for all those incredible milestones, from the tentative first steps to tumbling down soft mats. Sharing the parents’ excitement at their children’s accomplishments was the high point of our day.

How We Started

Picture this: In 1983, three fitness enthusiasts—Yacov, Susi Sherman, and Bill Caplin—redefined children's fitness by blending dance, gymnastics, and athletics. That's the birth of My Gym! Their mission: create a space just for kids—no more sharing mom's or dad's gym, but My Gym. With backgrounds in dance, gymnastics, and athletics, they crafted a unique fitness curriculum focused on non-competitive skill building for ages 6 weeks to 14 years. Fast forward: Cory and Monique turned My Gym into a franchise sensation in 1994. The success was undeniable, growing from 100 kids to over 400 in a year. Now a global phenomenon, My Gym is consistently ranked the #1 children's program worldwide.

Hi Hi How Do You Do?!

I am SO excited to bring My Gym fun to SW Portland! This is my second location as I'm also an owner of My Gym Sherwood. 
Dance and musical theater have always been a huge part of my life. I attended my local high school of the arts for musical theater and outside of school I was on a competition dance team. I was a dance major at Chapman University until an injury sidelined the hope of pursuing dance as a career. But I never lost my love for teaching dance and movement.

We lived in Southern California from 2017-2019, and I was looking for something fun for my 1 year old and I to do together. We discovered My Gym. Attending class was the highlight of our week. I fell in love with the overall experience and curriculum. I honestly credit the classes with helping my late walker finally start to walk! It was wonderful to see how much she learned in class and how she connected with the teachers and other kids. 
When we moved back to Oregon and realized there was not a local My Gym I decided to open one! My Gym Sherwood opened in 2021 and My Gym SW Portland in 2025. 

My wife, two awesome kids, and I live in Beaverton. When I'm not working, you'll likely find me exploring the many parks in the area with my family, volunteering at my kids' school, reading, and traveling to Disneyland or on a Disney cruise as often as possible!
