What gym did Simone Biles train at from 2003 to 2014?

Simone Biles trained at Bannon's Gymnastix from 2003 to 2014.

Biles first encountered gymnastics at age six during a day-care field trip to the Houston-area gym. Instructors noticed her natural ability and encouraged her family to enroll her in classes. She soon entered the gym's optional training program and began working with coach Aimee Boorman at age eight.

Bannon's was the setting for Biles's rise from promising young gymnast to elite competitor. She made her senior elite debut in 2011, became the U.S. national all-around champion in 2013, and won the world all-around title that same year. Those achievements came before her Olympic breakthrough in Rio.

A common mix-up is WOGA, the Texas gym associated with several other elite U.S. gymnasts. Biles and Boorman left Bannon's in 2014; Biles subsequently trained at the family-owned World Champions Centre, which opened in Spring, Texas.
