. Gotham’s growing reputation has been good for business: Pre-pandemic, it had 850 athletes; the club now boasts 1,600, roughly two-thirds of whom are girls.Co-founders Daniel Miranda and his wife, Ana Rita Nunes, see the city as an untapped pool of talent. “We knew we could do better,” Nunes says. Nunes and Miranda are both from Brazil, where Nunes competed on the 1998 national team. The couple coached for eight years in New Jersey before starting Gotham with five other families in 2019.
They pride themselves on prioritizing a “healthy culture” over “collecting medals.” In a sport that’s become synonymous with abuse, Gotham teaches parents, coaches, and athletes to form “the triangle of trust.” “We have to be the example out there of change,” says Nunes. Gotham’s gymnasts come from all five boroughs. On a summer afternoon, their top recruits practice double layouts across the floor. They look like a gang of sisters, giggling in blue leotards and scrunchies.
