Today we’d like to introduce you to Starr Lajoie, Dean Cudworth, and Courtney Muller.
Courtney and Starr were both Level 10 gymnasts and Dean is an actor/stuntman. Owning a gym has been a lifelong dream of Courtney’s and Dean was looking for a facility to open up his stunt school for kids. An associate of Courtney’s was putting up her gymnastics facility for sale and all three of them jumped at the opportunity. They are very excited to be on this adventure together.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
It has not been the smoothest of roads as with any new business venture there are always uphill battles to climb. Getting the facility organized and up and running presented some challenges along the way. For example, we decided to bring in new equipment and did a lot of new construction to make the facility more efficient, so rather than being able to open our doors right away, we needed to stay closed for approximately six weeks. Also, being new to the community, we are working on getting our name recognized and building our reputation.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Genesis Gymnastics and Cheer story. Tell us more about the business.
We are a gymnastics, cheer, and stunt facility. We are most proud of having three owners extremely knowledgeable in these areas of expertise which is what also sets us apart from others in this business.
Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
There has been more hard work and dedication rather than luck; however, the three of us being in the right place at the right time when this opportunity presented itself was definitely lucky.
