As I prepare to open up my third Positive and empowering Gymnastics & Ninja Academy in Columbia, Md. I figured that I’d test the waters at age 47, to see if I still “Got It”… These communities I’ve opened my gyms for, are for parents/kids who are wanting a safe and healthy environment to grow, get stronger, become more confident and empowered in! Every kid matters!! #dominiquedawes #dawesgymnastics ##olympics2024 #sweatingandsmiling

I can't believe there will be your gym in my town! I love that you mentioned safety and health. I have athletic kids but their training never included injury prevention/precaution. My kids were dreaming to be top athletes some day but kept pushing too hard until their injuries went too far and they could no longer train due to injury. I hope your gym brings a new culture of safety first and injury management/prevention. I really wish I knew more about that as a mom. Thank you for the inspiring post!

Wow! You definitely do still have it. At very soon-to-be 46 I'm pretty sure I'd have multiple injuries if I tried to sprint again! 😅 Way to hold it down for our generation. Thank you for the environments you provide for children to grow. Still a champion! 🙌🏾 🥇

I was a competitive gymnast, I’m 10 years younger, and my back hurts watching this. I salute you because this is incredible. 🫡 I’m not sure I could even do the first round off anymore.

My boys love to climb and jump. Is there a parkour or American ninja style camp session in the ninja academy? So excited to check it out.
