Michelle Johnson
INSTRUCTOR ACRO/TUMBLING |
Michelle started her gymnastics career at the age of 2. She grew up in West Linn, Oregon where she continued her gymnastics for 14 years along with 5 years of dance. While in gymnastics at Westside Dance Academy, she was a level nine gymnast and had the privilege of being a 3-time regional qualifier. Michelle then transitioned into competitive all-star cheerleading that advanced to the national championships in Florida for 2 consecutive years. Due to injuries, Michelle was not able to fulfill her dream of attending Oregon State University or University of Nebraska-Lincoln for either gymnastics or cheerleading.
Michelle holds an Acrobatic Arts certified instructor certification along with NAWGJ certification to judge USA gymnastics. Michelle is Safe Sport Trained and has several certificates ranging from First Aid/CPR to USA memberships such as competitive coach, meet director, owner/managing, and fundamentals of gymnastics / tumbling / Acro instruction. Michelle values the safety of all students and continues to grow her education as she continues to certify in tough coaching, safety and risk management, and emotional abuse safety.

Through education and dedication, she advanced to the team director and head coach of the RSG competitive team where she has helped athletes qualify for Level 7 regionals, Xcel Platinum regionals, and Xcel Gold regionals.
Michelle believes in progressions, technique, and safety for athletes. She loves teaching kids, watching how they improve their skills, overcoming their fears, building strength, improving their coordination, and having fun!
When Michelle is not coaching gymnastics, tumbling, and/or judging, she enjoys traveling with her husband around the world and working with her dogs during hunting season. Michelle’s favorite activity outside is working in the back yard and taking care of the wonderful grass that takes her back to her childhood memories in Oregon.
