Mitch
Gaylord first thrilled the world in 1984 when he led the United States
Olympic gymnastics team to its Gold Medal victory. In addition to being the
first American Gymnast in history to score a perfect “10,” Mitch went on to
capture a Silver medal for Vaulting and two Bronze medals for Rings and
Parallel Bars. As the number one ranked gymnast in 1983 and 1984, Mitch
invented two skills now named internationally after him. To this day, the
Gaylord Flip and the Gaylord Two are considered to be among the most
difficult and spectacular feats in gymnastics.
After the Olympics, Mitch was appointed to the president’s Council for Physical Fitness by President Reagan. During this time, he fulfilled numerous speaking engagements, endorsements and appearances across the country. In 1986, Mitch made his acting debut in Columbia Pictures’ “American Anthem” and went on to appear in several commercial advertisements including Levi’s, Diet Coke, Nike, Vidal Sassoon, Soloflex and Texaco. In 1995, he was inducted into UCLA’s Hall of Fame, and in 2006, he was inducted into the US Olympic Hall of Fame.
Mitch has served as a journalist/broadcaster, a motivational coach and a fitness expert. His passion for health and wellness led to his founding of Mitch Gaylord’s Gold Medal Fitness and the creation of the Perfect 10 Workout.
Mitch’s commitment to creating an enduring legacy that will impact the
world of Health & Fitness is surpassed only by his passion for his family as
a dedicated father and loving husband to his wife, Valentina.
Few of us will ever compete on the international playing field of world-champion athletes. But Mitch Gaylord shows audiences from all walks of life how the POWER of FOCUS (Flow, Originality, Consistency, Unstoppable Confidence, Strength) can make winner out of real people in real life situations.
