ABOUT FLIP! GYM
****QUOTE FROM SOUTH CAROLINA VOYAGER INTERVIEW OF HALLE MCCOMB***
What matters most to you? Why?
​
"What matters most is that we are operating a program that will provide the most lasting and positive impact on the children we serve to better our chances of creating responsible, healthy, and loving people for our society’s future." COACH HALLE
As a mobile program, Halle McComb opened Flip! Gym in Charleston, SC in 2007. What was once known as Kidnastics in Black Mountain, NC, expanded throughout the Charleston area as Flip! for 13 years. We offered our program to preschools and well-established private schools, then moved into a fully equipped training gym with gymnastics and cheer, eventually adding ninja. Over the years, Flip! Gym opened a total of five locations from Charleston to Bluffton, SC. We trained thousands of low country children, garnering countless individual, team, and business awards. Flip! Was known for its unique culture and high-quality coaching.
​
Jenna Watson, Flip!’s first employee, launched an all-star cheer program called The Wolfpack. Halle and Jenna together grew this program as well as the competitive gymnastics program, The Gymdogs. Space became a challenge for both programs under one roof. So, Halle and Jenna decided to divide and conquer: Pack Athletics has continued in the original location in West Ashley under Jenna’s (now Jenna Hodsdon’s) successful ownership since June of 2019.
​
Flip! Life was exciting. Under McComb, the gym eventually introduced the sport of ninja to the low country. As Flip! grew and expanded their recreational and competitive gymnastics and ninja programs, they decided to open a new location in Bluffton. At the end of a ton of work and investment, in January of 2020, Flip! Gym Bluffton introduced a state-of-the-art new facility, housing both sports under one roof. Both Charleston and Bluffton were going strong, with hard working employees, athletes, and parents, all invested in the Flip! Culture.
Then Covid hit. The pandemic caused a quick and tragic halt to all Flip! operations. This brought major challenges with safety and financial viability due to the reality of Covid's effects on our communities and our business. We are proud of the award-winning programs that we offered the lowcountry for 13 years. We’re deeply thankful for everyone’s support.
We’re happy to announce that Flip! Gym has landed on its feet! We’re thrilled to return full circle to our roots by re-introducing our proven mobile gymnastics program infused with the skills and wisdom we gained during the last couple of years. And…enhancing the mobile program with the addition of ninja, we’re delighted to be serving communities in upstate South Carolina.

TESTIMONIALS
"We LOVE Flip! Gym! Honestly, we cannot say enough good things about Coach Halle and Coach Ivy! From day one, they were so friendly, professional, and made learning fun for our children! We find that they always take that "extra step" by taking the time with each child based on their skill level!"​
