Brian loves working with kids, and working at My Gym combines his love of sports, theatre, entertainment and love of youth.  He has been the owner of My Gym in Bellevue for 5 years and has owned the Kent/Covington gym since March ’09. Brian’s hobbies are spending time with his family. He has a lovely wife and two beautiful children, twins, a boy and a girl that are almost two.

                He takes pride in helping children develop and challenge themselves as well as building their self confidence/ self esteem through My Gym’s fantastic program. Brian attended and graduated from U.C. Berkley  in California. He just loved Washington weather so much he just had to live here haha.

My name is Julie and I am the only original member left of the My Gym Kent opening team. I have come and gone a few times, but my love for the gym and what it brings to the lives of children always brings me back. I have been working with children my entire employed life. After babysitting through my teen years, I thought I wanted to be a teacher. I later decided it wasn’t that I wanted to teach, but that I still wanted to play. All of my summers as a camp counselor solidified my decision, so I went to WSU where I majored in Recreation Administration and minored in Sociology. After school I did my internship with the City of Kent, working with youth and teens. When I couldn’t find a job in parks and rec, I went to work for The Children’s Place as an assistant manager. After being promoted to a store manager, I was recruited to work for Club Libby Lu followed by the Picture People. While at the Picture People I married my husband Brian and had my son Lucas. After Lucas was born I wanted to find something that didn’t consume my life and My Gym became that place. A little over 2 and a half years have passed and we now have a daughter, Carly, who was born in August of 2009.  I don’t work nearly as much as I used to, but I love the gym and I am happy to do what I can.

My name is Stephanie Skidmore. I have been teaching for three years now and I absolutely love it. I chose My Gym because I believe in the program and love working with children and watching the develop their skills and grow over time. I was a competitive gymnast and athlete for years before I became a teacher and still would be if they made a big league for us non little leaguers. I went to Central WA University through the Highline campus. Teaching and children are my passion and working at My Gym lets me combine those two passions.
