Janet Cook – Hiring Manager
Janet began her career with us at our Olympia Olde Towne-St. Peters location in 1983, when her daughter was a part of the Team program there. Janet (also known as J.C.) was an invaluable part of the leadership team during the company’s early years and served as Gym Manager, Area Manager and corporate leader. After a 17 year hiatus, she returned to the company where she currently plays an integral role at corporate office assisting all locations with administering and hiring all new staff.
Trish Dubos – Senior Business Manager
I’ve lived all over the place but spent most of my life in California. I grew up as a competitive gymnast and later became a coach of state and regional champions. I owned a gym with my husband in California before moving to St. Louis in 2014 and beginning my work with Olympia. I have two daughters and one granddaughter. I love to knit and sew (especially for my granddaughter) and I also love to read and have interesting conversations. I can answer questions about any of the programs or the staff.
Candy Stallings – Training and Management
With the exception of a few years, Candy has been with Olympia since its inception. She has worked at multiple locations in a variety of coaching and leadership roles. At the corporate office she assists with training and strategic planning. She continues to work for the company because she believes wholeheartedly in its mission and enjoys working alongside so many dedicated and talented people. Candy lives with her husband in Webster Groves and has two grown daughters and two grandchildren which she absolutely adores.
