⭐ It's Team Destira! ⭐

I remember my first floor and beam routines, my first coaches, and celebratory moments, from getting my kip, giant, or connection on high beam. Gymnastics fostered strength and both physical and mental toughness.

Do I love gymnastics? Yes! Gymnastics changed my life and serves still today as a foundation for fitness, health, goal setting, and importance of a positive attitude in raising my kids, and running my company.

In the beginning I was a mom with three young daughters involved in the sport of gymnastics. I was making each garment by hand in my own home and I wanted every athlete to feel as confident and proud of their leotards as my own girls did. From the very start it was my goal to only offer products made from the highest quality fabrics, with the best possible construction while offering premium customer service.

We’ve certainly grown from these humble beginnings. Two of those young gymnast daughters are now competent business partners and are the ones driving the growth of our business. I’m proud to say we still follow those original core values by providing perfect fitting, trend setting garments that empower athletes around the world.

Gymnastics is a great foundation for ALL sports. Gymnasts develop strength, flexibility, balance, agility, and coordination, and it teaches resilience and mental toughness. And, the outfits are AWESOME!

Our mission to positively impact and empower girls, our team, and our families makes me want to jump out of bed every morning!
