Meet Hannah Lobdell

Hello! I'm the founder of Base Camp Gymnastics, and I've spent most of my life in a gym in one way or another!

I fell in love with gymnastics when I was five years old. I joined a team, spent much of my childhood in the gym, and started coaching as soon as I was old enough to have a job. Even after college and a stint in a "grown-up office job," I always found my way back to gymnastics.

More than 25 years later, here we are!

I spent nearly a decade in Massachusetts honing my coaching chops and learning what makes a great gymnastics program tick. From there, I spent seven years growing a gymnastics school in the Denver area before heading east to lead another in Connecticut.

Along the way, I've coached thousands of kids, developed programs, built teams, and had the opportunity to share what I've learned at industry events, including USA Gymnastics Congress and Gymnastics Ontario.

My bachelor's degree in Italian Studies and graduate studies in Organizational Leadership have also helped shape how I approach building programs and leading teams.

After years of helping other gymnastics schools grow, I decided it was time to build one of my own.

And that's how Base Camp Gymnastics came to life!

I wanted to create a place where recreational gymnastics isn't an afterthought. It's the whole point. A place with great coaching, thoughtful skill progressions, plenty of challenges, and a community that kids and families genuinely love being part of.

When I'm not in the gym, you can probably find me at a Billy Strings concert, wining and dining along the Front Range, cruising around on my teal bike named Marin, or traveling somewhere new. Preferably some combination of the above!

I'm so excited to bring Base Camp to Arvada and Westminster. Thanks for stopping by, and I can't wait to meet you and your family!

See you in the gym!

OUR COMMUNITY

Base Camp may be new, but we've been in this biz a long time!

Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of coaching thousands of children and getting to know the families who cheered them on along the way. Here’s what a few of those families have shared about their experience with our coaching:

My son LOVES the toddler class! Miss Hannah puts together exciting and challenging courses for the kids to go through each week which have helped him in building his strength and agility. My husband and I joke that he's now getting too strong because he's climbing up the sides of our staircases and scaling the walls.

Ms. Hannah-Thank you so much for being such a light & joy for us to see every week! Your grace, patience & bright spirit never went unnoticed and we are so grateful for building our skills, strength and confidence in your class!

All of your staff are so sweet and kind and it truly makes the gym a very special place... and it all stems from you! We can't wait for the next session and camp to begin!
