Legends Gymnastics, owned by Barbara Getschel, has grown from 132 clients to more than 1,200 since she purchased the business seventeen years ago. What began as a leap of faith—investing everything she had into a small local gym—has become a thriving, community-centered gymnastics program.
“I chose Needham Bank because I needed quick answers, and they provided quick solutions.”
A Banking Partner Who Understands Small Businesses
Barbara started working with Needham Bank after being introduced through her accountant. From the beginning, she felt the personal connection and commitment from her Needham Bank team, especially her banker, Michael Semizoglou, who brings his own gymnastics background and genuine interest in her success.
When Barbara needed to move Legends Gymnastics into a new building quickly, timing was critical. Needham Bank ensured every loan deadline was met. Throughout her projects, loan disbursements to contractors were processed immediately, keeping everything on schedule.
Needham Bank’s small business loans and hands-on support helped Barbara manage a fast-moving renovation and expansion without disruption.
Online Banking Tools That Make Business Easier
In addition to lending support, Barbara uses Needham Bank’s business online banking platform to manage her day-to-day operations. She describes the experience as “easy and seamless,” giving her more time to focus on her business.
