Founder Maria Lawrence is an attorney with a Master’s in Counseling, is USAG and safety certified, and has over 20 years of experience in the gymnastics arena, including co-owning a top gymnastics gym in Phoenix for 8 years prior to launching Influence Gymnastics. Her background includes significant experience in business operations, human resources, sales, and marketing within the private gymnastics industry. The athletic philosophy at Influence Gymnastics is to provide the highest level of coaching and support to its athletes, encourage each child for who she is rather than what she does, and teach children their value and worth outside of the sports arena, with an emphasis that who they are is more important than what they do. The business culture states that strong communication, sensitivity to budgetary and scheduling issues, and the treatment of children are parents’ primary concerns and will be at the heart of all operations, and the program is devoted to training athletes to become more disciplined and focused to improve their overall health so they can influence the world in a positive, healthy way through gymnastics, cheer, ninja, and tumbling.
