Owner / Program Director
Aimee Kim
Aimee started PNW Rhythmic for her daughter Anastasia. Having started the sport in southern California, Anastasia was used to training in an intense environment that is typical of the region. After moving to the greater Seattle area, Aimee searched for a gym that was a good fit for her daughter and in the end opened PNW in the fall of 2021. Her goal is to provide a competitive training program that is safe yet intense not only for her daughter but for all hopeful rhythmic gymnasts in the Seattle area.
