ABOUT US

Welcome to Mountain Kids!
Mountain Gymnastics Training Center was founded in Fort Collins in 1976 by Ron and Mary Baretta. Ron was a collegiate gymnast, WAC all-around champion, and 2002 Colorado State University Sports Hall of Fame inductee. Mary received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Dance.
Their daughter Anna Navares, a mother of three energetic kids, is the owner of the Louisville Mountain Kids location. The second-generation, family-run organization makes for a fun environment that the whole family can enjoy!
The Vision For Mountain Kids
Ron and Mary had a very specific vision for Mountain Kids that still rings true today:
To provide an opportunity for children to grow in confidence and physical ability through a variety of activities in a safe and positive learning environment. Their commitment to safety, fun, and learning — with the professional staff to see it through — provides the foundation for their hope that all children will come through their programs with a lifelong love of learning.
Because of this vision, Mountain Kids has grown into the amazing gymnastics and dance facility that it is today. This vision is what inspired Anna to open the location in Louisville back in 2004.

Our gymnastics coaches are kind, caring, knowledgeable, and focused on promoting happy, healthy, and confident kids! The dance faculty is one of the most highly trained and professional faculties in the area.

We’ve done everything we can to create a family-friendly atmosphere — from an easy registration process to an encouraging class environment and even participating in community events. Our warm and welcoming environment will make you and your children feel like you’re part of the Mountain Kids family — because you are!
