Owner

Renee C.

I have been a gymnastics coach for 10 years. I started my career at NFGC at the age of 3 and continued on to be on our competitive team. I was coached under the previous owner, Mary Purvis, and reached level 9 in my gymnastics career.  I have studied under several head/elite coaches that has helped mold me into the coach I am today. I love the responsibility of helping develop children into successful adults.

Office Manager

Morgan D.

North Florida Gymnastics has been a part of my life since I was young. I started as a gymnast and have always loved being around the sport. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to coach a variety of classes, including preschool, recreational, boys, and tumbling. Now, as the Office Manager, I bring both my coaching experience and love for gymnastics into a leadership role. I enjoy contributing to our gym’s success from a broader perspective — supporting families, leading our office staff, and ensuring every student’s journey is met with empathy, care, and a deep understanding of the sport.

Christine K.

NFGC has been a part of my life for the last 19 years. I first came here in 2004 when my daughter was four years old. She participated in the preschool and recreational programs until she joined the competitive team. In 2012 I began working in the office and can honestly say I have loved it. I love working with our parents and seeing all the beautiful faces of the children in our program. Having also been a rec./team parent myself, I love sharing my experience and knowledge with all our gymnasts and their families. NFGC is a wonderful place to work, I cannot imagine being anywhere else!

Over the years, I've also coached both competitive team and recreational classes, giving me a strong appreciation for the sport and the dedication it takes to succeed.

Team & Pre-Team Coach

Leah J.

I started my gymnastics career at the age of 6 here at North Florida. Shortly after, I joined the team program, working my way up to level 10. These were easily the best years of my life. In lev el 10 I qualified for regionals 4 times, placing in various events. In 2022 I attended Nationals placing on floor and vault. This was the highlight of my gymnastics career. After graduating high school, I started coaching our competitive team program ranging from pre-team to level 9. I am excited to share my expertise with our young athletes & expand my knowledge in gymnastics. 

I would also love to give a huge shout out to Coach Renee, who not only taught me so many life lessons, but also taught me so much in my gymnastics and coaching career.
