  • Stephanie Peschong

    Gymnastics has been part of my life since I was born. It started with the little gym where my mother taught class. I went into competition gymnastics as I got older, and I competed for both Chatfield Gymnastics and Green Mountain High School. After high school I took a break to cut hair and settle into motherhood. I became a coach after both my children started gymnastics this year. I love being a coach and it has been a great experience teaching kids the skills I learned as a child.
