DESHAUN HOLDEN
Owner
As a former competitive gymnast, my journey in the world of gymnastics has been both challenging and rewarding. Beginning my career at the Gemini School of Gymnastics under the tutelage of Skip Zimmerman, I was immersed in an environment that cultivated my skills and passion for the sport. However, by the age of 14, I found myself in a position where I needed to contribute towards my tuition and travel expenses, due to my family's financial constraints. This early experience taught me the value of resilience and self-reliance, shaping the professional I am today.
My journey continued as I transitioned to the Apollo School of Gymnastics, a move that allowed me to train alongside peers my age, further enriching my experience and development as a gymnast. My career eventually culminated at Orlando Metro, marking the end of my competitive journey. Despite this, my passion for the sport did not wane. At the age of 16, I earned my judge's certificate, enabling me to serve as a gymnastics judge in Florida and Georgia. This role not only deepened my understanding of the sport but also allowed me to contribute to the gymnastics community from a different perspective until I transitioned to coaching women's gymnastics full-time in 2010.
Today, I am proud to be a part of the Top Notch Training Center, a facility that lives up to its name in every aspect. Renowned for being one of the best gyms in Georgia and across the country, Top Notch is celebrated for its exceptional talent pool and the strong familial bond among its members. Our gym's diversity is one of our greatest strengths, fostering an inclusive environment where gymnasts from various backgrounds can thrive. Over the years, we have nurtured numerous State, Regional, National, and International Champions, a testament to our commitment to excellence. As we look to the future, we are excited about the prospects of our athletes, many of whom are on the path to becoming college scholarship recipients.
At Top Notch Training Center, we are more than just a gym; we are a community dedicated to the success and development of our athletes, ensuring that we will continue to thrive and excel in the world of gymnastics.
Our Staff is dedicated and experienced. We look forward to serving your family.

DEANNA
Team Director
Hello. I am Deanna Daniel. I have been coaching gymnastics since the age of 14. I was a competitive gymnast and competed for The Atlanta School of Gymnastics as a level 10 until I graduated from high school in 1995.
I have been coaching for over 30+ years. I have coached all levels of compulsory, optional, and even young gymnasts on the Elite track, including the TOPS and Hopes levels. I love coaching compulsory bars and optional beam the most. I enjoy doing choreography for floor routines as well. I focus on the importance of basics with all the gymnasts to ensure confidence and a solid foundation for skills. When I am not at gym, I enjoy ANY outdoor activity.
My educational background includes a BS degree in Exercise Science from Georgia State University in 2001 and a second BS degree in Health Science from Brenau University in 2018. I completed my master’s degree in public health from Southern New Hampshire University in April 2022.
I also have a background in law enforcement. I was a police officer and detective for DeKalb County for many years where I was able to work in the uniform division as a patrol officer and CID where I investigated property crimes/burglary, forgery, fraud, and narcotics. I live with my husband, who is a K9 handler and has given 20+ years of services to law enforcement and continues with it today. We are an Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta Braves, Atlanta United and Alabama Crimson Tide loving kind of family.
