Meet sisters Michelle Dini and Cheryl Parmenter
​​
With over 25 years of experience in the gymnastics world, Michelle is passionate about helping kids grow both in and out of the gym. She started her journey as an athlete, competing in acrobatic gymnastics from the age of six, and went on to represent the United States at World Championships in Russia and Poland.
​
Before moving to Celina, Texas in 2021, Michelle worked as an instructor and recreational program manager at ATA Gymnastics in San Jose, California, a family-run business founded by her parents. Her love for the sport runs deep, and after three years of running a home-based program, she's excited to open Brio Gymnastics & Recreation and bring her passion to a larger community.
​
Michelle believes gymnastics is more than just a sport—it's a chance for kids to develop confidence, resilience, and important life skills. Outside of coaching, she’s a proud wife to Jon Dini and mom to three active kids. Her daughters love gymnastics and volleyball, and her son is a sports fanatic, playing baseball, soccer, and flag football. Michelle’s mission for Brio is to create a welcoming, family-friendly space where every child can thrive, have fun, and discover their potential.
Cheryl is a doer! Present her with a problem and she will research it, evaluate alternatives and come up with a plan. Her passions are health and fitness which led her to pursuing homestead living with her husband Todd, and homeschooling their four children whom she encourages and supports in the development of each of their unique talents and interests.
As a teenager, she had the unique opportunity to witness her parents build a thriving gymnastics business in San Jose, CA. Beginning gymnastics classes as a toddler she was doing back flips at 5 years old and competed nationally for 8 years, while simultaneously pursuing her love of horseback riding.
Her talents of accounting and office management quickly became apparent. There wasn't a role in the family business she couldn't fill including coaching pre-school gymnastics through competitive team athletes. In 2019 Cheryl completed her certification in Yoga for adults and children. She is a multi-tasker for sure and her business acumen rounds out the partnership with her sister Michelle for a dynamic duo leading BRIO Gymnastics & Recreation.
