Our Owner:

Paragon National Training Center, dba “Paragon Gymnastics” is owned by Kevin Preston.

Kevin got his start first as a local gymnast in Montgomery County, competing for the USAG as a Junior Olympic athlete.  He then attended the University of Maryland (College Park), and continued to compete in Sports Acrobatics and Tumbling for the USSAF.   He holds a degree in Dance and also studied Physical Education while at Maryland.  He opened his first successful gym in Montgomery County before selling his share and moving to Howard County.  In June of 2011, Kevin started Paragon National Training Center, at first solely to train boys for men’s gymnastics.

In addition to teaching recreational classes and the competitive boys team, Kevin is a member of USA Gymnastics’ Jr. National Coaching Staff, and serves on various committees dedicated to compulsory programming for boys across the country.  He is also an accredited Men’s Judge for METRO Judging.  He has speaking/lecture engagements around the Region, and a passion for men’s gymnastics.
