Congratulations to Suni Lee, coaches Ali and Jess, and Midwest Gymnastics on winning Olympic gold in the all-around!
Midwest gymnastics used to be located across the parking lot from Acceleration North. When Suni was 8-10 years old she would train on the running treadmills and our plyo/agility workouts with her teammates. As she grew and Midwest Gymnastics moved into their current location off Rice Street, we installed the Acceleration treadmills in their fitness area.
We trained Suni and all the competitive gymnasts twice a week for several years. We then moved the treadmills back to Acceleration North and Suni and her teammates would train twice a week until she was 16 years of age. She is a special talent and was always going to be great, but a lot has to be said about instilling proper habits of sprinting, jumping, cutting, and becoming more athletic at a pre- teen age.
Start training your athletes on proper form at a younger age vs waiting until they hit puberty. Get signed up for our speed and agility training today!! Free evaluations are offered if you have never tried the Acceleration program.

Acceleration owner Curt Carbaugh started an internship with Acceleration Minnesota after he graduated with a Kinesiology degree from UW Eau Claire. Acceleration Minnesota was owned by 2 brothers back in 1990-2003.
Acceleration Minnesota had 5 locations in the metro area and sold them to each director in 2004 and turned them into franchises. Curt changed his company to Acceleration North as it is located in the North suburbs. Miles VanTassell was an employee at Acceleration each summer when he was home and not playing minor league professional hockey.
When Miles decided to hang up the skates, he started working with Curt full time and eventually invested into the company. In 2017 Acceleration went through a buy out agreement to get out of the franchise agreements. We opened a location in Hudson, WI in 2017 after the buy out was concluded and now we continue to expand our branding, knowledge, and training programs throughout the metro area.
