The Matrix Gym of Columbus, Ohio likes to change things up every other year or so when it comes to their competition cheerleading uniforms. This year they went all out for the Vortex Team! The design duo of Aimee Peppers, Owner and Coach of The Matrix All Stars, and her daughter, Kailee Peppers, brought their design inspiration and ideas to GK Elite. The GK team worked with Aimee and Kailee on their design ideas to bring their vision to life. Check out the outstanding results!
The Matrix All Stars are spectacular in their GK custom cheer uniforms made of Black and Red Mystique fabric on a show-stopping White Heavyweight fabric base. The long Black Mesh sleeves are a subtle, yet stunning addition. The cheer uniforms are complete with dazzling Red and Black Mystique appliques that pop with Clear Crystals.
"We were going for a design that would be 'out of the box'. This cheer uniform will be our day 2 cheer uniform and we wanted it to be completely different from our day 1 uniform. The whole team and their parents are in love with the final elegant design. We can't wait to see how the mostly white design pops on the competition floor. We look forward to working with GK in the future and everyone can expect to see more creative designs from our program."

GK cheer uniform style look-a-likes are everywhere! What exactly sets GK cheer uniforms apart from the others? Quality. At GK, all garments undergo state of the art testing and inspection procedures, are created using a top of the line sewing method, and are manufactured under one roof. You can count on quality in each and every GK Elite cheerleading uniform!
Y
ou can rely on the fabric GK uses to create their extraordinary cheerleading uniforms. GK inspects and rigorously tests each and every roll of fabric purchased prior to sending it into production. Each garment undergoes a stringent 11-point inspection process throughout the production process to ensure the highest quality and consistency.
Rather than using the normal three thread sewing method, GK solely uses a four thread safety stitch. GK cheer garments are sewn with 16 stitches per inch compared to the norm of 12 to 14 per inch. With this said, you can feel confident during competition because GK cheer uniforms are the most durable uniforms on the market. All manufacturing is done under one roof at GK to maximize quality control. Most of GK's competitors lack the capacity and capability for in house production. GK does not manufacture through sub-contractors like other cheer uniform manufacturers do, so you can be assured your uniforms meet the highest GK production standards.

Julie Dawson, the GK Elite Sportswear Territory Account manager for Maryland and Delaware, started her cheerleading experience when she began cheering back in high school. She held on to her love for the sport by having her own cheer team at her gym, Dawson Gymnastics Academy, which she previously owned in Pennsylvania.

Julie says, "When I first saw GK's cheerleading uniform designs with the same four way stretch fabrics that they use in their leotards, I knew they would revolutionize the industry. GK uniforms are engineered for the athlete! I am proud to work for GK, not only for the reasons mentioned above, but because GK is honest and sincere and if they say something... They do it!"

Valerie's cheerleading years began in a small town in Illinois, before the days of All Star Cheerleading. Her most memorable cheerleading moment was when her high school team was asked to cheer at a St. Louis Cardinals football game. Valerie said, "Back in the day, they used to invite three schools to cheer at their home games, and it was very exciting to be on the field with a professional football team." A photographer took a picture of Valerie at the game and it was featured on the front page of the St. Louis Post Dispatch. A very big deal for a small town cheerleader!
Most of Valerie's career has been in outside sales and sales administration. Most recently, she worked as a representative for Capezio Dancewear in Texas and Louisiana. As a Territory Account Manager for GK Elite Cheer, Valerie tells us that her goal is to promote the company's high standards and values, to provide exceptional customer service, and strive to exceed my customers expectations.
