• Getting Started In Your 1st Class
Coach Paula (Owner)
Born in Nashua, New Hampshire, Paula brings a bright, joyful energy to our gym—fueled by her love for sunshine, boating, the beach, and anything involving the water. When she’s not in the gym, you’ll likely find her spending time with her three grandsons, and her daughter Tristan. They keep her smiling and inspired. Paula became a coach not only because of her lifelong love of gymnastics and watching her daughter share in that same passion, but also because of the incredible joy that comes from helping children succeed. "There’s nothing like seeing the excitement on a child’s face when they finally master a new skill." For Paula, coaching is about more than just gymnastics—it’s about building confidence, strength, and passion that children can carry with them for life. She strongly believes in the power of community, sharing: “It doesn’t take one person—it takes a village to raise children into happy, healthy, productive adults.”
Coach Emily
Born and raised in Jacksonville, FL Coach Emily enjoys taking her dog on adventures to different parks and beaches, spending quality time with family and friends, and—of course—cleaning up after her mischievous cat, who loves knocking things over as if it’s a game. When not in the gym. Her favorite qoutr is“…Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway.” For Coach Emily, coaching is an incredibly rewarding and fulfilling part of life. She finds joy in watching students overcome fears, build confidence, and grow as gymnasts. Every athlete is unique, which makes coaching both challenging and exciting—like solving a puzzle to find the best way to support each individual’s success. Beyond teaching skills, one of her favorite aspects of coaching is the relationships that develop. Whether it’s hearing about a student’s school day, a lost tooth, something funny that happened, or even a tough moment they want to share, Coach Emily values being a trusted part of their journey both inside and outside the gym.
Coach Erica
From Los Angeles, CA Coach Erica enjoys hiking and traveling—especially exploring new places and experiences while on vacation. Her favorite quote is “Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.” Coach Erica teaches because she loves helping students discover something new and watching their faces light up with joy and confidence when they achieve a new skill. One of her favorite parts of coaching is hearing the stories her students share about their lives—whether it’s something funny, exciting, or meaningful, she values the chance to connect with them beyond gymnastics. For her, coaching is about building both skills and relationships that last.
