About us
Northern Lights for life
21 seasons of building confident kids in Keene, NH.
Hi! I’m Megan.
I cannot wait to welcome you into our positive, encouraging, high-energy environment where every athlete can succeed and belong! I grew up here in Cheshire County, and this is my 21st season of owning, loving and growing Northern Lights, the gym my mom, Linda, founded.
I coach because I LOVE CHEERLEADING and I love making a difference in the lives of our athletes. I’m passionate about leadership, gym culture and small-town kids having BIG DREAMS!

More than cheer
“The people part always matters the most.”
Megan Gomarlo, owner
Confidence
Every new skill shows them they can do hard things. Low-cost, low-commitment programs mean every child gets that chance.
Character
We coach effort, kindness and being a great teammate. We want them as amazing as people as they are as athletes.
Community
Families walk in as guests and leave as part of the Northern Lights family. Once a Light, always a Light.
