About Twisters Gymnastics

Twisters Gymnastics opened its doors in July 1986 under the direction of founder and head coach Allan Fusilero. What started as a single gym in Santa Clara has grown into a cornerstone of South Bay gymnastics education — serving families from Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, San Jose, Mountain View, and Campbell.

Allan's philosophy is simple but profound: the body develops from the center of gravity outward, across three segments. Before a gymnast can master a back handspring, she must own her hollow body. Before she can own her hollow body, she must understand where her center is. This is not a level system — it is a line.

That line is expressed through a numbered sequence — 61 foundational skills organized across seven bands, following the Fibonacci pattern: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13. A well-known sequence known throughout time, applied to the art and science of gymnastics.

Today, Twisters offers six programs for children from 18 months through competitive level, all built on the same curriculum taught year-round. Every class, every camp, every birthday party connects back to the same foundation.
