Christabella Lilliana Cargill and Coach Kevin Tiess first crossed paths through the island’s small gymnastics community. As Christabella’s passion for the sport deepened, her family began seeking a more personalized and supportive training experience — one that could nurture her potential in a safe, focused and progress-oriented environment.

With no other suitable options nearby, her parents reached out to Coach Kevin to see if he’d be open to offering private lessons at their home. Kevin, honored by their trust and excited to support Christabella’s growth, eagerly agreed.

What began as a simple arrangement to maintain Christabella’s skills soon evolved into something greater. The connection between coach and gymnast — rooted in trust, commitment, and shared joy — became the seed for a bigger vision: a place where keiki could grow strong in both body and spirit.

As word spread about the private sessions, more and more families reached out, eager to have their children experience the same thoughtful, expert coaching.
