Meet Z · The heart behind the hard work

From neighborhood walks
to the balance beam.

Meet Z—Zanzi to her friends. She’s 10 and trains in the Xcel program at Mountain West Gymnastics in Boise, competing at Xcel Gold.

Her gymnastics roots run deep: she started in Mountain West’s Tiny Tumblers program as a toddler, took a break, then returned through Mountain Climbers. In 2024, she joined competitive gymnastics and has since progressed from Bronze to her current level, Gold.

Gold is about bringing more advanced skills together with precision: building power, consistency, and polished execution while preparing for higher-level competition.

Little Roots, Big Dreams is her growing business. Z’s Wag ’N Walks is where it begins: caring for neighborhood pups, helping her neighbors, and putting real effort behind her gymnastics dreams.

A little about Z

Big dreams. Soft spot for dogs.

Z’s own Goldendoodle gets plenty of practice being loved. And on a playdate with a pup who voted “no” on walking and “yes” on tug-of-war? She brought her best effort—and he brought the horsepower.

He had the weight advantage.
Z had the determination.

Her gymnastics history · Moments along the way

Little moments.
Big memories.

From meet-day excitement to moments on the beam, every competition adds another memory to Z’s gymnastics story. Here are a few highlights along the way.

How it started · A past fundraiser

Big dreams have
little beginnings.

Before Z’s Wag ’N Walks, there was a neighborhood gathering for her “Road to Gold”: a yard sale, lemonade stand, baked treats, and a little plant section, all supporting her gymnastics journey.

Little Roots, Big Dreams carries that same spirit forward—trying new things, putting in the work, and growing with a little help from the community.

A look back at a past event. Future fundraiser details will be shared here when plans are ready.

Fall fundraiser · Cart-Wheel-o-Thon

One hundred cartwheels.
One determined Z.

100 cartwheels in a row to support her gymnastics dreams.
A little grit. A whole lot of upside down.

She raised $450 toward her 2027 meet fees!

A little kindness. A little momentum. A big dream.
