The owners of How MEGA Fun and Fitness, Kim and Juha (pronounced u-ha) Tanskanen, have both been active in, and have had a passion for the world of gymnastics for many years.
Juha is from Finland and was invited to come to the USA in 1998 to direct a gymnastics program. Juha had also been a competitive gymnast and competed on the Finnish National team. Once he retired from being a competitor, he continued coaching, as a National team coach for the Finnish National team. He coached his brother, Jani Tanskanen, who became the 1997 World High Bar Champion. Although Juha is a physical therapist by trade, he made a decision to come to the USA to use his gymnastics talent to teach, judge, and produce many regional and national gymnastics champions.
