Instructor Bio

Lisa McCarthy is a former gymnast and gymnastics instructor with experience coaching children ages two through high school including competitive teams for the USA Gymnastics compulsory levels 4, 5 and 6.

My goal is to provide a safe and fun environment while having each child reach their full potential. The importance of learning the proper form for basic skills is essential. I would like to provide a fun yet structured class where both kids and parents feel good about the new gymnastics skills learned. I not only focus on teaching children new skills but also the form, technique and strength necessary to perform moves safely.  Each class will be customized based on the child’s ability whether they are new to gymnastics or have previously taken classes.  Questions? email Lisa at
