Bruce Davis, director of Flip Flops and Fitness, began his gymnastics journey at the ripe age of eight. Under the instruction of Walt Lienert at Athenaeum Turners in Indianapolis, Indiana, Bruce went on to compete for Southern Connecticut State University from 1962 to 1965. There, he was coached by Olympians Abie Grossfeld, Muriel Grossfeld, Don Tonry, and Jamile Ashmore, a Pan American Games gold medalist.

Following that, Bruce earned his Masters degree from Ohio University in 1966. He then went on to teach and coach at Miami Dade College for 33 years. His most notable accomplishment during this time was coaching the 1969 NJCAA National Champions and winning five consecutive NAIGC Men's Championships from 1993 to 1997.

We took our 7-year-old for her first gymnastics lesson, and she had a blast. The coach is comforting and friendly, but stern when necessary. Even though the group members have varied levels of experience, he does a fantastic job with them.

One of my daughter's all-time favorite coaches! We've been separated for more than 4 years, yet we both still long for him to be her coach and mourn him.
