Cultivating Confidence. Maximizing Potential. Pursuing Excellence.
Coach Natalie Fincik
MVG Owner
Team Program Director
Natalie has over 30 years of coaching experience and opened Maximum Velocity Gymnastics in August 2016. She began gymnastics at the age of 7 and competed until the age of 16. As a young child, Natalie had a natural desire to teach her classmates at school and would hold “classes” on the playground at recess. When Natalie was older, the gym owner taught her to spot her teammates. She loved to help others and made it a goal to own a gym one day. Natalie loves how the sport of gymnastics teaches children to control their body. She also believes that gymnastics is a powerful tool that develops self-confidence and helps children to realize their unique and incredible potential!
