The Premier Gymnastics Experience in Denton County
Denton Gymnastics Academy is proud to offer the only Elite gymnastics training program in Denton County, providing expert coaching for girls at every level—from preschool beginners discovering the joy of movement to International Elite athletes pursuing the highest levels of competition. Our mission is simple: to give every girl a place where fitness, fun, and excellence come together.
Leading our programs are coaches Aurel and Rodica Lazar, who bring more than 30 years of international coaching experience to the gym. In 1988, they helped lead their team to the Romanian National Elite Team Championship, earning them promotion to coaches of the Romanian Junior National Team at the prestigious National Training Center in Onesti.
From 1988 to 1992, they coached both club athletes and the nation’s top juniors before moving to Belgium, where Aurel was soon appointed a Belgian National Team Coach. In 1995, he traveled to the World Championships in Sabae, Japan with gymnast Melanie Roberts, where he was awarded the official World Championship Coach Diploma by the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG).
In addition to her coaching career, Rodica holds the prestigious title of International Brevet Judge, the highest level of certification awarded by the International Gymnastics Federation. This distinction qualifies her to judge at the most prestigious competitions in the sport, including World Championships and the Olympic Games. For DGA athletes, this means training under a coach with rare insight into how skills are evaluated at the very highest levels of gymnastics—a competitive advantage few gyms can offer.
Today, Aurel and Rodica continue to bring their world-class knowledge, discipline, and passion to Denton Gymnastics Academy. Athletes benefit not only from their technical expertise but also from their unique experience coaching and judging at the highest levels of international gymnastics. Whether a child is mastering her first cartwheel, striving for national competition, or dreaming of Elite and international success, the Lazars provide the guidance and inspiration to make those goals possible.
