Jenileigh’s Energy Bites
Coach Jenileigh (who is also a nutritionist) shares a great recipe perfect for your athlete to bring to practice for an extra boost of energy!
We always want our kids to be fit, healthy, happy, and full of energy! Part of raising a healthy athlete includes making sure that they are getting the right food to have enough energy for a productive practice. Giving them a balanced meal is ideal, but unfortunately that might not always happen with our crazy schedules. Sometimes they just need a quick snack.
One of my favorite go-to-snacks are Protein Balls! They are simple and really tasty!! Follow the recipe bellow and store them in the refrigerator (we have one at the gym for our athletes to use, right past the cubby room!)
Peanut Butter Energy Bites:
1 cup smooth or crunchy peanut butter
1 cup honey
1 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup fax seed
1/2 cup chocolate chips
To make these Peanut Butter Bites simply combine all 5 ingredients in a medium bowl, stir, and place in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes (so they are easier to roll.)
Roll into 12 bites and store in the fridge for up to a week.
These Peanut Butter Bites pack a lot of nutrition. Here’s the breakdown:
- Flax seed: Just 1 tablespoon of flax seed provides roughly 8 grams of fiber. Flax seed is also loaded with healthy fats and nutrients, like Omega-3 and Vitamin B1.
- Peanut Butter: Also filled with healthy fats and fiber, one serving of peanut butter contains 7 grams of protein! Perfect for a quick energy boost and to keep you feeling satisfied longer.
- Old Fashioned Oats: Rich in fiber, protein, and nutrients, such as magnesium, B1, and zinc. They are also known to reduce cholesterol.
Give these a try, and let us know what you think!

Circus Arts Program Director and Girls’ Team Coach
New! Circus Fusion!
We have exciting news:
We are adding a Circus Fusion class to our Fitnastics Program!
This class will combine Circus Arts apparatus, such as aerial silks and lyra, with basic gymnastics, strength and flexibility training, to develop performance skills and aerial confidence.
Our Circus Arts Program Director, Jenileigh, has performed with Cirque du Soleil in “Cirque de le Mere,” Dragone “Le Reve,” Aerial Experience Productions, Jitterbugs Swingapore, Resort World Sentosa-Singapore, Royal Caribbean Cruise line, and as Miss Wyoming in the Miss America pageant.
With a lifetime of gymnastics, circus arts, and coaching, Jenileigh gives her students premier performance training right here at Gymfinity!
Only 8 slots are available for this new class, ages 16 and up, on Tuesdays from 8:30-9:30pm. Tuition is 72€ per month plus VAT (we do accept VAT forms.)
Register now to claim your slot!
Gymfinity’s Colors
The Gymfinity symbol is fairly straightforward, with the gymnast in the infinity sign symbolizing the ability of our athletes to continue indefinitely in gymnastics (or any other sport using gymnastics as a base.) It plays on the USAG motto of “Begin here, Go anywhere,” as gymnastics is truly a foundation for a lifetime of success!
But did you know that our team colors were chosen based on both the American and German flags? We used two colors from each flag: Blue and Red from America, and Black and Red from Germany.
Fun Fact Friday, edition one. Now you know!
Welcome!
Welcome to Gymfinity International!
We are excited to get our athletes in the gym as soon as possible, but wading through the German business licensing and set-up procedures takes a little bit of time.
We are on a timeline to open fall of 2017! We’ll keep you posted on progress here.
In the meantime, you can read about our programs and pre-register to get your child on a class list and make sure they have a spot on opening day.
You can also join and follow our Facebook and Instagram for the latest updates, or view our Kickstarter campaign to get your name on our sponsor wall!
We are looking forward to meeting you all for a flipping fun time!
See you soon!
Coach Ande and the Gymfinity staff
