Ella Thornberry

Coach

Coach Ella Thornberry brings experience, positivity, and a love for gymnastics to Spirit Gymnastics through her ninja classes. A former optional gymnast, Ella has earned both regional and national titles, giving her a strong foundation that she now shares with her athletes in a fun and engaging way.

Ella loves creating an environment where kids can be active, confident and excited to learn. “I love watching the kids have fun at what they are doing!”

Spirit Gymnastics holds a special place in Ella’s heart, as it has been her second home for over 12 years. She values the welcoming and inclusive environment and strives to make every athlete feel that same sense of belonging.

Her favorite skill is a handstand that she can proudly hold for more than a minute without walking, showing her strength, control and dedication.

Ella’s goal for her athletes is to help them build a positive mindset and learn how to stay strong and confident, even when things get tough.
