Hi, my name is Brooke, and I am the owner of Purely Moore Fitness (PMF). I have over 30 years of experience as an athlete and coach in gymnastics and cheerleading.

I began taking gymnastics at the age of 6 and quickly developed a love for the sport. I was a gymnast at Tucker High School in Tucker, Georgia and at Olathe North High School, in Olathe, Kansas. I also competed with Lawrence Free State High School when my smaller high school Perry-Lecompton partnered with them. My favorite events are floor and beam.

In addition to gymnastics, I was also a skilled cheerleader and cheered in both high school and college. I was on the coed cheer squad at Northwestern Oklahoma State University (NWOSU) for all four years of college and received a cheerleading scholarship. During my time at NWOSU, I developed a love for teaching and athletics. As a cheerleader, I had the unique opportunity to interact with the community and youth during public events, host cheer clinics and camps, tryouts, and game day events, as well as attend nationals. My time interacting with the community in Alva showed me the strength and dedication a community has for their youth, athletics, and friends. It taught me first-hand the value of sports and fitness in a community and how both can bring people together.

My experience as a college athlete eventually led me to become an Elite Cheer Instructor in Pittsburg, PA. Elite was one of the first companies to privatize cheer camps. They are well known across the United States and set a high standard of excellence for their coaching staff. Working for Elite allowed me to develop as an athlete and coach. It gave me the chance to travel the country teaching cheerleading and tumbling. Elite provided me the unforgettable opportunity to work with children of all ages and experience cheerleading across the country from Maine to states closer to home like Oklahoma.

After college I took a break from athletics and became a college professor, teaching at Auburn University--Montgomery and Notre Dame College. During this time, I still had a love for fitness and developed an interest in Fitboard and Balance board workouts. After taking classes and regularly practicing the form, I began to develop my own Fitboard and balance board workouts to help me stay in shape as an adult and allowed me to avoid standard gyms.

After teaching, kids, a couple of moves across country, and well......LIFE, I finally got back to my roots and took a job at the Newton Recreation Commission (NRC) as the Head Gymnastics and Cheerleading Instructor. My time at NRC allowed me to meet wonderful people, teach two sports I love, and develop a presence within the community. It also gave me the opportunity to reexplore my love of fitness.

My family and I have lived in Newton for the past 9 years, and I could not imagine living anywhere else. I appreciate the sense of community, pride, and small-town atmosphere Newton provides. It is my desire to contribute to a community I love, as well as share my enthusiasm and knowledge of fitness and athletics. As a mom, coach, and fitness instructor I have noticed a need for different fitness experiences in Newton and a gap in athletic training options; Thus, I decided to branch out and open my own studio. Purely Moore Fitness was born out of the desire to want more from fitness programs in our area. I do not believe individuals should have to go to Wichita or surrounding areas to meet their fitness needs; we have the tools and knowledge base to provide quality, affordable options in this community. I have a passion for teaching low-impact full body workouts, proper athletic training, form and technique, and fun, energetic fitness classes.

My vision for PMF is to create a facility built around the community, where everyone has access to fitness opportunities from small toddlers to busy moms, college athletes to those just looking to be healthy, I want EVERYONE to feel welcome at Purely Moore Fitness.
