MAGGIE NELSON is the owner of Magnitude 10.0 Gymnastics and the head competitive girls’ team coach.  Maggie brings 15 years of gymnastics experience as both a coach and competitor.  She competed as a gymnast from the age of nine until her collegiate years and when she left competitive gymnastics, she was competing one level below elite status.   As a teenager, she was a state and regional champion in both Tennessee and Kansas.  Her ability to inspire ‘her girls’ is what sets her apart from other coaches; and she takes great pride in the success and accomplishments of not only her team, but of each individual gymnast.   In 2003, while coaching at another area gym, her Level 4 Team won the State Championship.   Ten members of that team, and their ever-supportive parents, are largely the reason the facility is here today.  As for the facility, she wants it to be noticeably different…and talked about…for all the RIGHT reasons.  

 

KELLEY CLEMONS is the head pre-team coach and has been coaching for 5 years.  Her love for gymnastics began at the age of five at Memphis Gymnastics and after three years, she transferred to Nashville Gymnastics where she competed for the next seven years.  The highlight of Kelley's many gymnastic accomplishments was traveling to Europe at the age of ten to compete in the Junior Olympics.  She now compares those memories to the ones she is building with her Pre-Team girls.   Kelley played a big part in the opening of the facility and is the mother of Level 7 team gymnast, Bailey. 

 

JONAH WATSON coaches recreational classes, coaches the boys’ fitness program & is a conditioning coach for the team program.  He has been coaching for 7 years and has eight years of gymnastics experience; four as a competitive gymnast.  At the age of fifteen, he placed first in the All-Around at the State Meet in Michigan.    He entertained the idea of training for the Olympics but instead decided he would rather spend his time coaching young Olympic hopefuls.  Who doesn’t love ‘Mr. Jonah?’
