At DeVeau’s, our mission is to create a safe and nurturing environment where children are inspired to reach their full potential. We believe gymnastics serves as the foundation for all sports, contributing to future athletic success. Our goal is to enrich children’s lives by offering a fun and engaging physical outlet while fostering essential life skills such as overcoming challenges, setting goals, building self-confidence, and promoting teamwork. Above all, we are committed to prioritizing children’s love of learning and happiness in everything we do.
DeVeau’s School of Gymnastics was founded in 1982 by Joan DeVeau, starting with 185 gymnasts and three instructors in a modest 5,000-square-foot facility on Shadeland Avenue in Indianapolis. Today, DeVeau’s has expanded to its current location in Fishers, Indiana, boasting over 56,000 square feet and employing more than 65 instructors. Over the past 40 years, the program has grown to include over 350 competitive gymnasts and cheerleaders, along with more than 1,200 students in recreational classes. Joan’s daughter, Taryn, and her husband, Luke, continue to uphold DeVeau’s core values, fostering a fun, family-oriented atmosphere where children love learning and appreciate the rewards of hard work and success.
Over the years, thousands of students have passed through DeVeau’s doors, many attributing their success to the strong foundation and life lessons they gained here. More than 35 gymnasts have earned college scholarships to prestigious institutions, including the Air Force Academy, Arizona State University, Ball State University, Brown University, Cornell University, Indiana State University, Indiana University, Ohio State University, Stanford University, University of Alabama, UCLA, University of Illinois, University of Kentucky, University of Nebraska, University of Pennsylvania, Western Michigan University, University of Michigan, Michigan State and many more.
In 2008, DeVeau’s gymnast Samantha Peszek, who began training with us at just 2 years old, made the USA Olympic gymnastics team. In 2007, DeVeau’s had a record-breaking year, with our competitive teams sweeping the Indiana State Championships, claiming 1st place in all team divisions for both boys and girls—the first gymnastics school in Indiana to achieve this feat.
Beyond athletic accomplishments, our students have gone on to successful careers as doctors, lawyers, teachers, and more. Perhaps most rewarding, many former students have returned to DeVeau’s as staff members. These proud alumni now share their passion and expertise with the next generation.
