Girls Doing Push-Ups

I have known Justin for over 25 years, first as a competitive gymnast where he competed at international level for Great Britain, and then later as a professional coach and leader.

 

  Justin was always committed and driven as an athlete, and those skills were transferred into his professional coaching career. 

 

South Essex Gymnastics club is one of the most prestigious and successful clubs in the UK for both Men and Women with gymnasts like Max Whitlock OBE (6 times Olympic medallist, and 3 times Olympic and World Champion) Courtney Tulloch, Georgia-Mae Fenton (World, European and Commonwealth medallists) and Shannon Archer (Commonwealth Medallist) to name a few. 

 

Justin was a part of our coaching team for a few years where he demonstrated outstanding qualities to the coaching set up, bringing a fresh, but well studied, dynamic to the organisation. 

 

Justin was not only a great coach and leader with the elite section of the club, but was also diverse with his expertise, delivering exceptional coaching and leadership to our recreational, adult and special needs programmes. 

 

Justin is a fun, approachable, committed and driven individual, who is also keen to learn and adapt to knew challenges and environments. He is great with both young children, and older students. 

 

I would have no issue recommending Justin.

"One of the best artistic gymnastics coaches we have ever met! Very passionate with a fantastic approach towards both kids and parents. Justin is a great gymnast himself and is able to demonstrate different skills to the children. Always helpful and supportive. Very grateful for his hard work and helping my daughter to get to where she is now".
