Mr. Nasser Parvinrouh
Nasser Parvinrouh was born in Shiraz, Iran. He was an Olympic gymnast and competed for Iran in the 1964 Olympics in Japan. At one time, Mr. Nasser was ranked 16th in the world!
Mr. Nasser was a professor at Faulkner State Community College and taught Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance from 1971-1982. He then went on to establish Nasser Gymnastics Academy in Mobile, AL.
Nasser Gymnastics Academy was founded with the vision to build a facility that would provide a safe, developmental, and rewarding environment for aspiring gymnasts. He instituted progressive training techniques to ensure each student received the best instruction possible while having fun. We are proud to continue in following those traditions today.
Nasser Parvinrouh retired from coaching gymnastics 10 years ago but still pops in the gym from time to time. His wife, Fatemeh Parvinrouh, and daughter, Laleh Parvinrouh, currently manage Nasser Gymnastics.
Ms. Laleh
In 1970 my father, Nasser Parvinrouh, opened Nasser Gymnastics Academy, and we are the oldest established gymnastics facility in the state of Alabama. Under his instruction and leadership, I trained as a gymnast until I was twelve years old and competed up to Level 6. In high-school, I moved on to play Tennis, but continued to grow in the gym. I went to Murphy High School, Faulkner State, and graduated from the University of South Alabama. I was also a Meet Director at the age of 22.
When my father retired, I carried forward his vision of operating a gym built upon quality, excellence, and dedication. I’ve further shared this vision with my staff, and, together, we strive to provide the highest quality of physical education.
My father inspired me to manage a gym of which we are proud. Being a responsible steward of the gym, its staff, and the families we serve is the most significant and fulfilling role in my life. I love the opportunity of being able to make a positive impact in the lives of our gymnasts and cheerleaders. My staff and I continuously focus on professional development, especially as it relates to ensuring and optimizing positive development for the children we train. It’s such an honor being a part of a gym that has been successful for generations and I look forward to Inspiring Dreams and Motivating Champions for more generations to come.
