About Us

Welcome
We're excited to bring a Gymnastics and Cross Training facility to the
Windham area. With the experience and professional associations our
program directors, Diane Taylor Hirsch and Becky Hirsch Cleary brings to
Frog Bridge Gymnastics we are confident that we will become an area
magnet for those looking to maximize their physical potential.

History
In 1982, Diane founded Green Mountain Gymnastics on the "road to
Stowe" in Waterbury Center, VT. After developing many team, individual,
and state champions, it became a non-profit training center in 1989 and
Diane pursued her profession in forensic adolescent treatment while
advancing as a gymnastics judge, clinician, and meet director. In 1992,
Diane was invited to co-develop a gymnastics program in St. Johnsbury,
VT. This gym, Evergreen Gymnastics, later moved over the border to
Lisbon, NH where it was owned and operated by her daughter Becky
Hirsch Cleary and Vladimir Akhlatkin, former Russian gymnast and
competitive coach and trainer of circus performers (daughter is a featured
performer in "Cirque's "O" show in Las Vegas).Together they coached the
4 year undefeated Vermont High School State Championship Team from
St. Johnsbury Academy and they grew many successful gymnasts.

Frog Bridge Gymnastics
Becky and Vladimir are active participants in developing Frog Bridge
Gymnastics now located in Columbia and formerly in downtown
Willimantic. Vladimir has recently returned to his Northern home where
he has started Kingdom Gymnastics while Becky and Diane have
relocated Frog Bridge to an exciting new location in Columbia. Our new
home brings all of the great things about Frog Bridge's program to a
better location and better facility. We have a great program we invite you to
become a part of. Our new facility has an Olympic sized spring-floor
exercise mat and all of the Olympic apparatus needed to perform
womans competitive gymnastics and boys and girls recreational
gymnastics. We pride ourselves on our great programs and hope we
can share with you our knowledge and passion for the greatest sport ever!
