All our coaches are fully qualified and insured via British Gymnastics and have extensive experience coaching the sport

“I was introduced to gymnastics at the age of 3 and trained up until I was 18 years old. I competed regionally and also won the Surrey Floor and Vault competition aged 10. When I was 14 years old, I decided that becoming a gymnastics coach was something I wanted to pursue and I started volunteering at my gymnastics club. I then went on to gain my qualifications in the sport.

I was also part of a cheerleading team for 6 years and we were chosen to represent England in the World Cheerleading Championships in America. Cheerleading has a lot of aspects of gymnastics within the sport including Tumbling and Acro skills.

I run classes within schools and I also coach squad classes with more advanced children. I set up Aerial Tumbling Club to give children the opportunity to learn new skills or perfect those that they were already working on. The club is also ideal for children who just want to focus on tumbling and core floor skills.

We have a great team of qualified and dedicated coaches at Aerial Tumbling Club who all work really hard to ensure that every child is both having fun and reaching their full potential.”


"I did gymnastics competitively from when I was three years old for around 15 years. I started coaching as an assistant coach at the age of 14 and have gone on to coach different squads in gymnastics clubs as well as school classes. I am UKCC Level 2 qualified in General Gymnastics and Level 2 Team Gymnastics, as well as having my safeguarding and protecting children, first aid and DBS certificates.

I have been coaching now for about 15 years and I absolutely love it. It is amazing to teach children new skills and see how happy it makes them! I love sharing my knowledge and love of gymnastics with everyone I coach and I hope that my passion for gymnastics is passed on!”


"I started gymnastics at the age of 2 and continued until I was 14 years old. I started as an assistant coach with Aerial at the age of 13. I now coach multiple days a week, including squad classes and running the club’s Leatherhead venue. I have also achieved my level 2 coaching qualification.

I enjoy watching gymnasts grow in confidence when gaining new skills and perfecting current skills. I have also learned so much from coaching at Aerial and really developed buy coaching skills and knowledge. I really enjoy working with everybody at the club and it’s always a positive environment. I look forward to continuing to be part of the Aerial coaching team.”


“I have been with Aerial Tumbling Club since the club was set up in 2016. I started gymnastics when I was 9 years old and Justine coached me up until I stopped gymnastics at the age of 15. I started assistant coaching at Aerial when I was 12 years old and Justine has helped me develop into the coach I am today. I now coach the junior squad twice a week. I have also achieved my Level 1 artistic gymnastics coaching qualification.

I love watching the gymnasts grow and achieve their goals, as well as gaining and perfecting my coaching skills. I hope to share my passion and knowledge of gymnastics with all the children I coach.”


“I am a BG General Gymnastics Level 2 qualified coach, with safeguarding and protection children, first aid and DBS certificates. I have ben coaching gymnastics for over 15 years, starting off as an assistant coach and working my way up to a lead coach at Aerial Tumbling Club. I’ve loved coaching gymnastics right from the start, as it’s extremely rewarding watching athletes grow as gymnasts and improving their skills on a weekly basis.

I enjoy passing on my knowledge and understanding of gymnastics onto the children I coach in order to help them excel and achieve their goals throughout training.”

“I have been with Aerial Tumbling Club since 2017. I trained as a squad gymnast from the age of 7 until 15. I started as an assistant coach with ATC at the age of 11. I now coach twice a week and have been a main coach for the since 2022. I am currently working towards achieving my level 1 coaching qualification.

I enjoy being able to help the gymnasts achieve new skills and watching them grow in confidence as they gain these skills and perfect their current skills. I hope to continue to share my love and knowledge for gymnastics with all of the children I coach.”

“I started doing gymnastics at the age of 10 with Aerial Tumbling Club and I started assistant coaching when I was 13 years old. I am currently working towards my level 1 coaching qualification and hope to gain this qualification in the next few months.

My favourite part about coaching is when the children get excited about gaining a new skill that they have been working towards. I enjoy watching them push themselves to learn new skills and continuing to keep trying if they don’t achieve it straight away.”

“I started gymnastics at the age of 3 and joined Aerial Tumbling Club when I was 8 years old. I trained as a squad gymnast at the club until the age of 15. I started assistant coaching at 13 and now coach twice a week. I am currently working towards my level 1 coaching qualification.

I enjoy watching the gymnasts progress week by week and achieve their new skills. I love seeing the excitement they get when they master a skill they have been working towards.”
