More About Coach Colleen

I have been giving private gymnastics lessons for the past twenty years in the Richmond area. I am co-owner of a gym, so all private lessons would occur at that site. My coaching is based on the same teaching and motivational techniques we use in our gym with our recreational and competitive team athletes.

Working with gymnasts of all ability levels and ages is great because it allows me to make a larger impact across a wider group of athletes. My specialties include vault, floor exercise, bars, beam, and pommel horse. I am especially adept at motivating athletes by helping them develop the mental toughness needed for gymnastics while balancing it with fun and love for the sport.

All my private lessons begin with a dynamic warm up to get the large muscle groups going, followed by a stretch period to keep the muscles and joints ready for movement. We then move on the specific event and skill training, all customized around what the gymnast has told me that he / she would like to develop further.

After each session I meet with the gymnast and parent(s) to follow up and gain their thoughts on the training session. I want the gymnast to feel that they have had a worthwhile experience that has improved their gymnastics!

Trained competitive gymnasts at State and Regional Championship levels. Athletes from our training center have qualified for and competed successfully at National Championships, as well as gained full college scholarships. My goal is to help each athlete reach their potential, whether it's competitively or recreational.

We would prefer to have clients book at least two full one hour sessions as a minimum. This allows me to focus more on getting to know the athlete in their first session; like how they prefer to work, what motivates them, their goals, how they learn, and where they currently are in their training.

Coach Colleen has been a Godsend for our daughter. She is just what she needed after a rough gymnastics season. Coach Colleen has been gentle, practical, and a wealth of knowledge. She has been perfect for my daughter who needs a confidence boost from a coach who cares. We will be back. Thanks again.

Coach Colleen was great. She interacted with my granddaughter very well. Coach Colleen was very supportive and enthusiastic. I would highly recommend her to any gymnast looking for additional coaching. Mike

Coach Colleen was very informative and provided direct feedback on what my daughter needed to work on. She also helped to build her confidence while encouraging her to meet the goals/tasks given to her. We hope to have more lessons in the future. I’m excited to see the progression in my daughters skills.

It was an amazing first impression. My daughter and I throughly enjoyed our first session and look forward to continuing. She was very welcoming and her direction was great. This was my daughters first time on the mats and she can't wait to go back. Thank you Coach Colleen

Coach Colleen is an excellent teacher focusing on how to do things correctly ( in my granddaughter’s case the foundations) and importantly why!! She is very positive but also very focused.

We love Coach Colleen‘s energetic, enthusiastic coaching and her honest feedback. She immediately recognized shaping issues with our gymnast and helped her correct them. We are so appreciative of her willingness to coach outside the box.

I thought Coach Colleen helped me a lot. She was patient and really motivated me to do my best. She has great teaching methods and had a really good understanding of me. She was always very friendly to me.

Oh my goodness! We sure lucked out finding Coach Colleen! My daughter loved her and learned so much in her first session. We can’t wait for her next session!

Coach colleen and her staff were so amazing with my daughter. I haven’t seen her this happy and excited in a long time! She is extremely patient and calm. She doesn’t just tell her what she needed to do but physically showed her. This was only her first lesson with her and we will definitely be returning! You boosted her confidence and i couldn’t thank you enough

Coach Colleen is AWESOME! She immediately made my gymnast & I feel extremely comfortable. She set expectations for my daughter & executed the plan. My daughter is in love & has chosen Coach Colleen’s gym as her home gym!

Colleen was both personable and encouraging, yet firm. My daughter enjoyed being challenged and having her focused attention without distractions. We will certainly be signing up for more classes.

Coach Colleen is extremely warm and welcoming. I've never done gymnastics in any shape or form and she was so patient and knowledgable. I was hooked after our first session and signed up for more right after!!

Ellie is thrilled with all the tips and pointers! We can see her confidence and love of the sport shining again after just a few sessions!!

Coach Colleen worked with our 7yr old on the fundamentals and basic skills of beginner gymnastics. Our daughter felt a lot more confident in doing some of her skills in just 1 hour working with Coach Colleen. She gives a lot of direction and encouragement throughout the workout. We will be signing up for more sessions with her!

Coach Colleen was fantastic. My 8 year old daughter loved her and wanted to know why she couldn’t have a two hour session instead of the one hour. Coach Colleen was exactly what we were looking for in a professional, kind and fun coach who knows how to get the results that we were looking for. We immediately booked more lessons with her after the introductory lesson.

I worked with Coach Doug. Their gym is top notch. Doug was knowledgeable, helpful, and patient.

Coach Colleen was excellent. She squeezed us in last minute, and sat down with us before our time started to go over our wants and needs. She was patient and provided positive reinforcement. I could see my daughters confidence growing, and she made her high school cheer team.

Coach Colleen rocks!! She made my daughter feel comfortable after almost 10 years out of the gym. The one-on-one session allows her give great guidance at a quicker pace. Her teaching style is relaxing, encouraging, and fun!! We made a great choice with Coach Colleen.

Contagious enthusiasm and supportive encouragement, which my daughter responds to. She is being pushed and challenged in a very positive way. My daughter is always exhausted and pleased with herself after each private session.

Coach Colleen is great! Knowledgeable, patient, and enthusiastic. My daughter had so much more confidence after just one session. Can't wait for the next lesson!

An amazing coach!! I had fun and learned a lot in our session! I am definitely going back and would HIGHLY recommend for anyone wanting to start or continue gymnastics!!!!

Absolutely wonderful and positive person to work with! Loved her different approaches to teach someone until it clicks with them

Such an awesome coach to work with!! She made me feel welcome, comfortable and confident while training. I would absolutely recommend her to other athletes! She has made this an outstanding first experience for me!

We had an excellent first session! Colleen quickly assessed my daughter's experience level and goals, then they got straight to work. Serious hard work, but with lots of smiles, laughs and encouragement. Just the style we love!

Coach Colleen is a great coach! She is very knowledgeable and her "Positive" coaching style is contagious! She made my granddaughter feel welcome and eager to learn whatever Coach Colleen determined she needed to work on! My granddaughter can't wait to go back and I can't wait to bring her! Thank you CoachUp and Coach Colleen!
