How MEGA Fun and Fitness Came About

The owners of How MEGA Fun and Fitness, Kim and Juha (pronounced u-ha) Tanskanen, have both been active in, and have had a passion for the world of gymnastics for many years.   
Juha is from Finland and was invited to come to the USA in 1998 to direct a gymnastics program. Juha had also been a competitive gymnast and competed on the Finnish National team. Once he retired from being a competitor, he continued coaching, as a National team coach for the Finnish National team. He coached his brother, Jani Tanskanen, who became the 1997 World High Bar Champion. Although Juha is a physical therapist by trade, he made a decision to come to the USA to use his gymnastics talent to teach, judge, and produce many regional and national gymnastics champions. 
Kim has always been involved in gymnastics, from age four, and continuing through college at the University of Iowa. Although she worked in the corporate world as a Certified Athletic trainer for eight years, and received an MBA in Healthcare, she continued to be involved in gymnastics. She knew that her passion was teaching and working with children, and eventually she became involved in the gymnastics industry full-time, from teaching pre-school gymnastics to producing national champions.
