About Suncoast
Our
Story
Suncoast Gymnastics Academy has been proudly serving children and families for more than 40 years. Our headquarters are located in Odessa, FL, and we are excited to now offer two additional facilities in Wesley Chapel and Trinity, bringing our programs closer to even more families in the community.
Our mission is to provide educational programs through physical activity that inspire growth, confidence, and a love for learning. What matters most is not just what your children do here, but what they learn and carry with them beyond the gym.
Our programs are designed to help children grow from the inside out—building strength, discipline, and resilience through athletic activity, while also developing the life skills that create happy, healthy, and confident individuals.
When you join Suncoast, you’ll find a dedicated team of coaches and staff committed to empowering every child through the sports we teach. Our success isn’t measured by the number of trophies we win, but by the smiles, growth, and achievements of the children who walk through our doors each day.
We are honored to partner with families in shaping the next generation and deeply grateful for the trust you place in us. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your child’s journey. Together, we look forward to helping them build skills, confidence, and memories that last a lifetime.
Our Mission Statement
Our mission has always been to build children emotionally, mentally, and physically to their highest potential. Suncoast Gymnastics strives to provide quality staff who can follow our vision. We, as leaders, believe that continued education and providing a safe, fun, and productive atmosphere are of utmost importance when setting our children up for success.
Arnold Gwinn
Owner
Hello, my name is Arnold Gwinn, and I am the Owner and Director of Suncoast Gymnastics Academy. I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself and share how Suncoast began.
Suncoast Gymnastics Academy has proudly served the community for over 40 years. What started as a 6,500 sq. ft. warehouse has grown into a lifelong mission—to create the ultimate training facility for youth in our surrounding counties.
After earning a gymnastics scholarship and graduating from Western Michigan University, I dedicated myself fully to Suncoast. In fact, it’s been my first and only career, and one I continue to feel passionate about every day.
From the very beginning, my vision was not only to build a state-of-the-art gymnastics program but also to provide opportunities for children to explore a variety of sports and activities. Today, we’re proud to operate in a 30,000 sq. ft. headquarters in Odessa, along with two additional locations—one in Wesley Chapel and the other in Trinity—together offering more than 10 different programs designed to help kids grow, stay active, and thrive.
Brent Gwinn
Director of Operations
Hi there, I'm Brent Gwinn, the Director of Operations at Suncoast Gymnastics. I've been a part of this fantastic gym since I was a kid, and it has always been my home. I started coaching at a young age, helping with birthday parties when I was only 13. By the time I was 16, I was leading some of our most fun programs at Suncoast!
​
As the Director of Operations, I aim to ensure that Suncoast remains a home to all our athletes, just like it is to me. I believe in consistency, excellence, and creating opportunities for our athletes to grow and succeed. Seeing our athletes develop their skills, build their confidence, and achieve their goals is incredibly rewarding.
At Suncoast, we are a family and I am proud to be a part of that. As the Director of Operations, I work tirelessly to create a positive and welcoming environment for our athletes, coaches, and staff. I truly believe that athletics is more than just a sport - it's a way of life. And at Suncoast, we strive to instill that love and passion for gymnastics in our athletes.
