We visited one of the most prestigious gyms in the country to give you a never before seen look inside the program. Founded by a World Champion and Olympic gymnast and her husband, this gym has developed some of the best gymnasts in the US. This team has more elites than any other club in the country and boasts an impressive four current national team members. That’s right, we are talking about Kim Zmeskal’s Texas Dreams Gymnastics and the Dream Team.
