RALPH THOMPKINS

Founder

Previously a 5+ year instructor at the Little Gym, Ralph has always had a big heart to serve children. In his early years as a student-athlete at Grand Valley State University, he assisted as a Youth Sports Coordinator at the YMCA in Grand Rapids and volunteered at the Boys and Girls Club. His background in these areas coupled with his personal fitness and athletic experience has allowed him to create the unique youth fitness model that is now SWAG Kids Gym. Ralph’s genuine passion and enthusiasm for the families we serve is heard and felt in his presence and it is a unique experience for all!
