Owners/Founders: Mr. Nasser & Mrs. Fatemeh Parvinrouh
Operator/Director: Ms. Michelle Parvinrouh
To know about the gym, is to first know about Mr. Nasser. 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 established Nasser Gymnastics Academy in August 1970.
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.
Mr. Nasser taught Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance at Faulkner State Community College from 1971-1982. He opened his first, self-owned gymnasium in Spanish Fort and then a second gym in Mobile in 1982. He built the gym that we’re in now in 2000. Mr. Nasser loves gymnastics and introduced the local community to the great sport through years of grassroots, load up the back of a cargo van with handmade equipment to go teach at daycares, programming. That’s why our facility, unlike most others, is open and welcoming to spectators.
The gym is and always has been family owned and operated. Mr. Nasser retired from running the gym in 2015 and passed the reins to his daughter, Laleh. Mrs. Parvinrouh retired in 2024 and his youngest, Michelle, now runs the gym.
Nasser Gymnastics Academy, Inc. takes great pride in being a prestigious gymnastics training center. We are grateful to have served the families in Mobile and the greater bay area since 1970, making us the oldest gym in Alabama.
