Very impressed after only one session. Coach Ellen is very knowledgeable. Looking forward to seeing the progress over the next year.

Margita (CoachUp client)

Coach Ellen is an Amazing coach! After just one session my daughter figured out her Kip and how to properly run and jump vault.
Coach Ellen is not just great at spotting but also explaining of the mechanism behind gymnastics.
My daughter is a visual learner and coach Ellen is able to not just verbally capable to explain the skills but also can show gymnast how to properly do the skill with her little paper gymnast! Love her!

Deanna (CoachUp client)

Coach Ellen has really helped my daughter's score improve. Ellen really takes the time to let us know where her deductions are and gives great feedback to use as a future reference. I would recommend Coach Ellen to anyone needing help with their routine or perfecting a gymnastic skill.

Amanda (CoachUp client)

We have been thrilled with our sessions with Ellen. Her supportive and encouraging demeanor, coupled with her technical expertise, make her a wonderful coach. We are so glad to have her in our corner!

Coach Ellen was very informative about what my daughter needs to work on and helped her fix those areas and gave great tips. I would recommend her a thousand times.

Amber (CoachUp client)

Very thorough when working with my daughter on her floor routine

Carla (CoachUp client)

Great coach! My daughter has learned so much during her sessions with coach Ellen, she has more confidence in her skills has improved greatly!

Sarah (CoachUp client)

After not training for three and a half months from an injury, Ellen gave my daughter the extra boost she needed to confidently compete on beam and floor for her last few meets of the season where she was able to medal and show confidence in her routines. We will def routine to Coach Ellen for roadblocks and confidence boosts for my tiny gymnast.

Nina (CoachUp client)

We are so impressed and pleased with Coach Ellen that I've been struggling to find sufficient words to express what an amazing coach she is and what a difference she has made for our daughter, Julia, in just 2 2-hour sessions, but here goes. Coach Ellen is exactly what a coach should be. One of the things that we really wanted our daughter to get out of these sessions is self-confidence. After the very first 2-hour session, Coach Ellen instilled confidence in Julia and reignited her spark. And, unexpectedly but so encouraging -- she worked with Julia and in 2 hours, Julia had 3 new skills on beam and bars. In the second session, because of Coach Ellen's careful coaching, Julia got the shape for a layout that she has been trying to get all season but never had anyone work with her on the mechanics. She can't wait to get to the gym to keep working on it. She's also working on several new skills on beam, bars, and floor.
Julia reported that Coach Ellen is strict in her coaching but gives constructive criticism and also praises her when she does something well so that Julia feels energized and even more determined to perfect or attain a skill. I've also seen that Coach Ellen will work with Julia on a skill and then record her doing that skill. They then pause and look at the recording of Julia doing the skill while Coach Ellen points out things that are executed well, where Julia is going to get a deduction, and what Julia needs to do to fix her execution. Because of her unique background not only as a gymnast, coach, and gymnastics judge, Coach Ellen knows exactly what Julia needs to not only improve her skills but also to gain confidence, enjoy herself while achieving more, and get the best scores possible in all 4 events. And as a parent, one of the best things about Coach Ellen (in addition to seeing our daughter so excited, happy, and proud) is that she gives excellent feedback so that parents know what is being done at these sessions, how our child is doing, and what is planned for future sessions to further improve the child's skills. We will be continuing with Coach Ellen for as long as our daughter is involved in gymnastics and she is willing to coach Julia -- Coach Ellen is worth every penny and is the best coach I have ever personally worked with or seen (our daughter agrees).

Rashahn (CoachUp client)

Great Coach, really understands the positioning needed in bar skills and what skills are needed for each event. Will meet with again.

Carla (CoachUp client)

Coach Ellen is an amazing coach. I noticed major improvement in my daughter’s skills. I was so impressed that I drove 6 hrs for an in person session. I was beyond impressed and will continue ongoing sessions. I highly recommend her services!!!

Coach Ellen has been great for my daughter. After the first session my daughter was happy because she felt like she learned new skills already. Ellen knows how to work with her strengths, gives good feedback and corrections. She explains and suggests skills that will help my daughter in her next competition season. We are looking forward to see great progress working with her.

I hired coach Ellen to do my daughters gymnastics choreography for optionals. She did a great job working and being patient with my 9 year old, and she was very professional. Would recommend her and will hire her in the future for any private lessons when the time comes.

Corine (CoachUp client)

Coach Ellen is a phenomenal coach! She really knew how to point out what my daughter, who's a level 9, was doing wrong, and what was causing her point deductions. Then she taught her step-by-step on how to do the skills properly, which made doing other higher skills easier. In just one session, my daughter improved tremendously. My daughter really likes her approach and said she was really kind. We are definitely doing more sessions!
Thanks Coach Ellen!

Ran (CoachUp client)

I am a little bit surprised by how well Coach Ellen handles an untrained guy like me. I thought there is nothing I can do at this age at 33, and yet after just one coaching session with Ellen, I have the motivation to go for the senior Olympics after I am older than 70. She is just fantastic at planning the course for everyone, no matter how unprofessional they are! I would recommend coach Ellen to anyone who is interested in gymnastics and has no chance of doing anything related to it for whatever reason.

Surie (CoachUp client)

I'm really happy to have worked with Ellen and look forward to more. She has been a fantastic gymnastics coach; creative, detail oriented, and she has great ideas. I'm looking forward to more sessions with Coach Ellen!

Sharon (CoachUp client)

Coach Ellen was great! She's a breath of fresh air! She answered all of my questions & she's came up with solutions for my daughter! Ellen is a wealth of information regarding gymnastics! Her knowledge of the sport is definitely going to make it easier for my daughter to get her skills so she can move up!

Melissa (CoachUp client)

We loved working with Coach Ellen! My daughter had been struggling to regain her kip and we hired Coach Ellen to give her some extra pointers virtually. Ellen was so personable and encouraging and we felt like we knew her for years. She gave my daughter some great pointers and exercises to help her along and she got her kip the very next week! Thank you, Coach Ellen!

Dana (CoachUp client)

Friendly, professional, and experienced

Chrissy (CoachUp client)

Coach Ellen was a great coach online. My daughter loved working with her. Directions were very clear and easy for my daughter to understand. Feedback was also clear and easy to follow to help correct mistakes. We will definitely book again while we are waiting for her gym to reopen.

Mike (CoachUp client)

It was a pleasure working with Ellen, my daughter was struggling with a few things on an event and Ellen was able too help immediately!! We are booking Ellen a few more times before her state competition, I Highly recommend Ellen for anyone looking too improve your son or daughters gymnastics!!

Cynthia (CoachUp client)

Session 2 was great. Declan has gained a lot of confidence and this past week during gymnastics practice he was doing a back handspring on a tumble track for the first time.

Neela (CoachUp client)

Coach Ellen is fantastic! I wish we would have found her sooner. In one session, she quickly pointed out areas that my daughter could make small tweaks and significantly impact her routine and scores. Because Ellen is a coach and a judge she can see what the judges see and can she can quickly coach the gymnast to improve the routine.

Zerrin (CoachUp client)

A lot of great tips to get me where I want to go. And many different ways to get me there. Ellen was patient, fun and knowledgeable. As an adult trying to learn gymnastics I wasn't sure I would be "coachable". Ellen made me feel at ease and addressed my questions and concerns.

Candice (CoachUp client)

Ellen is knowledgable, detailed-oriented, and friendly. We were impressed with her narrowly tailored plan of action to enhance the performance of my child athlete. Her coaching style was effective because she: 1) observed my daughter's execution of a skill, 2) demonstrated the proper form/technique, and 3) provided specific feedback to improve her performance of that skill. With this method, Ellen quickly fixed every skill that my daughter struggled with--on every event that we mentioned--in one visit. Ellen is a rare jewel, and we are forever grateful to her for helping to develop a stronger, better but also more technically sound athlete.

Jennifer (CoachUp client)

My daughter had a wonderful session with Coach Ellen. She was very insightful, knowledgeable and encouraging!

Idalis (CoachUp client)

Ellen was very helpful and professional! We did an online video session where she was able to tell me and my daughter how to “clean up” and improve her routines, all of her deductions, help her with her form and show her drills to get better at these.

Teresa (CoachUp client)

Coah Ellen helped my daughter tonight with fantastic tricks to improve her flexibility! Her knowledge of gymnastic are top notch and she continued to talk to my daughter during session explaining details on how the techniques worked and giving lots of encouragement, always keeping in mind my daughter's safety and the final goal we want to reach. My daughter needs to have flat splits in a few weeks and coach Ellen gave us a load of energy, strategies and enthusiasm that we can get there! we will definitely book her again soon!

Barbara (CoachUp client)

Coach Ellen is a great coach.
After just one lesson I can see some improvements in my daughter skills.
I would recommend coach Ellen to everyone.

Sarah (CoachUp client)

Ellen is amazing! She has really helped my daughter with her floor and beam routine. She knows what will look good and what will not. She really knows how to pull it all together.

Jeanne (CoachUp client)

We just finished a session with coach Ellen. She is an exceptional gymnastics coach. I am the grandmother of the gymnast and my granddaughter has been in gymnastics since the “terrible twos” and now at 11 years old she learned more today then she has ever, I learned a lot too, I was surprised how much I didn’t know! We are so very ready for competition now! Her (coach Ellen) knowledge of gymnastics is above and beyond what I would have ever thought! Her professionalism and hands on approach were excellent.
I am so happy with this “coach up” experience. I would for sure go this route, using coach up in the future!
Thank you coach Ellen!
