Christie Abercrombie is a mother of three boys, and a former
stuntwoman. Christie grew up in Southern California, becoming
proficient in classical ballet, tap, gymnastics, and trampoline. She
frequently sampled other activities to see if she could improve her
performance.
After graduating from college, Christie served on the Board of USA
Gymnastics as an athlete representative. As a 5 time member of the
US World Trampoline Team, Christie traveled extensively representing
the United States in dozens of competitions throughout the world,
becoming the first American to ever win the North American Cup.
Christie has appeared in dozens of movies, and numerous commercials
and TV shows. Knowing well, the ups and downs of show business,
Christie started her first gym while the Screen Actor's Guild was on
an extended strike. This was something she said she would never do.
But, she did and it changed her life.
Located in Chatsworth, California, the gym was immediately
successful. Due to Christie's infectious enthusiasm, she recruited
the best gymnasts and trampolinists as her teachers. Many business
owners would have been happy with a small successful gym, but
Christie saw the potential for something bigger and better.
Soon, Christie found her second location in Valencia, California.
Her new vision added many types of Dance, Karate, Early Child
Development, and a Retail Store, "Lady and the Tramp." This second
location, which became the largest "gym" for children in California,
became the blueprint for 280 Sports.
Christie searched the nation for the best location for her new
"Sports Activity Center for Kids of All Ages", and decided on
Southlake, Texas. Since Texas seems well suited to her bigger than
life activity centers, she plans to open several others. She
currently is maintaining a waiting list of business owners who would
like to open in her next Sports Activity Center. If you would like
to be placed on her waiting list, please
