Ben Tobler
Founder/Owner
​Optional Team Coach

I have been involved in gymnastics my entire life and started coaching in 2003. You name it, I've coached it: preschool, girls, boys, Special Olympics, MAGA, high school and J.O. team. As a coach, it is my goal to develop quality, high-level gymnasts. I have produced multiple individual and team State Champions, Regional Champions, and National Qualifiers.

Kristin Tobler
Founder/Owner
Optional ​Team Head Coach

I have been involved in gymnastics since I started taking classes at age 5. Throughout my 23 years in the sport, I have experienced it through many different perspectives all the way from participating in my first beginner class to becoming a 2-year team captain with the University of Minnesota. I have coached every level from preschool to college and am also a NAWGJ-certified judge. For the past five consecutive years, I have coached athletes to the State, Regional and National Championships. During this time, I have produced both State and Regional individual champions. My love and passion for the sport drive me to be my best every day. As a coach, I strive to train high-level athletes who share the same determination and desire for excellence as I do. More than that, I enjoy being a part of the development of motivated, successful, strong young women. I truly believe that gymnastics prepares you for life after sport and it is that notion that allows me to lead these athletes with true conviction each and every day. ​

Emily Stigall
Compulsory Team Head Coach

I started my love for gymnastics in 1992 and have been coaching for 15 years. I love my job for many reasons, including: the special bond we form as a family, the look of newfound confidence in a gymnast, the smiles I receive from an athlete when they get a new skill or overcome an obstacle, being able to help a gymnast through frustrations, having supportive parents, developing trust and respect with each athlete and the feeling of being part of an amazing coaching team. I strive to produce happy, proud and successful gymnasts. I have successfully had at least two state champions every year and can't wait to help more girls achieve their goals.

Erika Whelan
Compulsory Team Coach

I have been coaching for a total of 14 years. I have coached every level from Preschool through J.O. Level 9 but have been coaching my passion, J.O. Compulsory Levels 3-5, for 12 years now. I get joy and satisfaction from helping gymnasts learn new skills and watching them mentally grow through the sport.

Dusti Thorn
Office Manager
​Preschool Coach

I grew up doing gymnastics in Oshkosh, WI and competed on the University of Minnesota Women's Gymnastics Team from  2010-2014. After graduation I became USAG certified and coached in Wisconsin for two years, doing preschool, J.O. Compulsory and Optional Level gymnastics training. After getting married last year, my husband and I moved to St. Michael and I am looking forward to helping gymnasts in the surrounding area! I love sharing the passion I have for this sport as well as helping promote confidence in young athletes in and out of the gym.
