Every since Nicole was a child she drempt of owning her own gymnastics club and finally her dreams are coming true. For Nicole, Gymnastics has made her who she is today. As a coach, Nicole's commitment to the athletes who spend their time to come to EGA and the parents who sacrifice so much to have their children be part of our gymnastics family is extremely important to her and she hopes she can provide a rewarding experience for all. Her primary responsibility is managing the Recreational Program at EGA and being the face of Evolution Gymnastics Aurora. Please come by and introduce yourself to Nicole in the office, she looks forward to meeting you all!
Evolution Gymnastics Aurora was the dream of the late Sarah Smith. With the support of her husband Bruce, they opened EGA in July of 2010. Sarah had been coaching and judging for many years, creating a legacy of kindness and aspiration that drew many of us to her. When word got around she was opening her own gym, coaches from all over saught out positions at EGA, including Simon and Nicole.
When Sarah fist opened EGA, we started with a few dozen athletes coming through our doors. Soon there were hundreds of young gymnasts coming through EGA's doors each week. We were making our presense known in Aurora as well as at competitions accross the Province. It seemed EGA was here to stay. However after a long and hard fight with breast cancer, Sarah passed away May 29th 2018. Words cannot express how much she is missed. As EGA moves forward with Simon and Nicole at the helm, we hope to keep her dream alive as we honour her legacy.
