Meet the gzg Team

coach elizabeth

Trampoline & Tumbling Team, Xcel and Artistic Team, and Recreational Gymnastics
I started gymnastics at Dimensions when I was 18 months old and got invited to the competitive team at age 4. I switched from artistic gymnastics to Trampoline and Tumbling after an injury. I went on to win National titles in both Trampoline and Double Mini. I have been Coaching Gymnastics since 2011. My favorite color is pink. I'm obsessed with sea turtles and can't live without Cheesecake. I have severe dislikes for dishonesty and snakes. GZG is my home and holds a special place in my heart; I have grown up here and have gymnastics in my blood. I love watching young athletes learn and grow in this sport as I did.

and still flipping!

I wanted to be a gymnast since I was nine years old. Twenty-eight years later, I was lucky enough to find the adult class and have been ever since. I love the sport and can’t get it out of my system. My favorite foods are Diet Coke with a McDonald’s plain hamburger. Of course, I always wanted and still want to be an Olympic gymnast. My favorite thing about GZG is the trampolines and being able to jump and compete on the team.

I competed in high school and at a private club in California for four years before moving to a small Alaska community. Before coaching teens and adults, I was enrolled in the adult class and watched my daughter’s competitive gymnastics to level 10. my favorite food is tacos, the color is green, and my pet is my horse India. My favorite thing about GZG is the positive atmosphere and that as a coach, I can be creative with the students in my class, and we have fun.

COACH MICHELLE

Gym Consultant

My favorite color is blue, but the shades of blue like the sky. I dislike negativity. There is power in positive thinking. My favorite food is fresh, and if it comes out of my yard and, therefore, free. Since having the opportunity of owning the gym for so many decades, my favorite thing would be that I had the privilege to raise my children in the gym and had the chance to watch so many other children grow from infants to adults.
