My name is Morgan Swartz, and I moved out to Colorado from Oregon about 3 years ago to pursue a second degree. I am a former competitive gymnast of the Developmental Program (formerly JO) and coached for several years following my retirement. I have worked with ages 18 months to 18 years and have a passion for teaching gymnastics at any skill level. I have taken a hiatus from coaching while pursuing other career endeavors and so I could not be more excited to be a part of the Golden Gymnastics coaching team!

I believe competitive sports goes beyond pure athletics and I strive to deliver a comprehensive coaching experience for all gymnasts. I love getting to know each athlete’s goals and helping to achieve them, while having fun!

Gymnastics has been part of my life since I was born. It started with the little gym where my mother taught class. I went into competition gymnastics as I got older, and I competed for both Chatfield Gymnastics and Green Mountain High School. After high school I took a break to cut hair and settle into motherhood. I became a coach after both my children started gymnastics this year. I love being a coach and it has been a great experience teaching kids the skills I learned as a child.

Ashlee Gribb is the co-owner and creative visionary behind Golden Gymnastics, contributing her artistic expertise to the gym's success. With a background in visual arts and a passion for fostering creativity, Ashlee's journey has been one of seamlessly blending artistic flair with the gymnastics arena. Her formal training in visual arts and commitment to nurturing individual expression have infused Golden Gymnastics with a unique vibrancy, where athleticism and creativity converge. Alongside her co-ownership role, Ashlee's dedication to cultivating each gymnast's distinctiveness and translating it into their gymnastic journey has redefined the gym as a space for self-expression. Her involvement as a co-owner shines a light on the dynamic interplay of entrepreneurship and aesthetics, forging an innovative path at the intersection of business and creativity.

I am thrilled to join the team with over 5 years of gymnastics and cheer coaching experience. In those years I have developed a passion for watching athletes grow and feel lucky to be a part of their journey! I spent 13 years dedicated to gymnastics, including 10 years in the competitive world, before attending Iowa State University, where I continued my love for "flipping around" as a collegiate cheerleader. My favorite part of coaching is seeing athletes overcome their fears and getting to watch them build lifelong friendships along the way. Originally from Iowa, I moved to beautiful Colorado to enjoy hiking, skiing, and all things outdoors!

Milly Cogen has been a recreational gymnastics instructor for over 10 years. She taught previously at Spirit Gymnastics in Saint Paul, Minnesota and Reflex Gymnastics in Orlando, Florida. A countless number of students, classes, summer camps, open gyms, birthday parties, field trips, and other types of boundless fun have taught her that this work will be lifelong. She was excited to make Golden Gymnastics her new gym home in 2024. 

Milly’s time outside of coaching consists of substitute teaching in many schools (music is her favorite subject), joyfully singing in both organized and unorganized settings, and trying to ride as many trains as possible in as many places as possible.

John began his coaching journey in 2018 in his hometown in Virginia. He brings a passion for excellence and a commitment to fostering the growth and development of young athletes. With a background in tumbling, he offers valuable insights into technique refinement, performance enhancement, and mental fortitude. His coaching philosophy emphasizes not only the mastery of skills but also the cultivation of resilience, discipline, and teamwork. Whether coaching beginners or guiding elite athletes, John strives to create a positive and supportive training environment where every gymnast can flourish and reach their full potential. Through personalized instruction, goal-setting, and unwavering encouragement, he aims to empower each student to soar both on and off the mat.

I’m Coach Pedro, and I bring over 15 years of gymnastics experience, both as a competitor and a coach. Originally from Brazil, I was a competitive gymnast before transitioning into coaching, where I’ve had the pleasure of working with kids of all ages and skill levels. My focus is on refining technique and breaking down complex skills to help athletes build confidence, precision, and strong fundamentals. I take a hands-on, personalized approach to coaching, ensuring each gymnast gets the attention they need to improve while having fun and staying motivated. Whether your gymnast is just starting out or working towards competitive goals, I’m here to help them reach their full potential. In my free time, I like to be with my family, play with my dog, read a good book, and travel and explore the world.

My name is Brie and I am excited to be coaching after years of personal gymnastics experience! I competed gymnastics in New York and then in Texas (which is now “home”) until I was 15 years old. Now in Colorado, I am currently a student in college pursuing my undergrad in philosophy and theology in hopes to become a professional nerd (or maybe a teacher). I love to teach, which is why I am so excited to be working with he kids at Golden Gymnastics.

With 14 years of gymnastics experience under my belt, I’ve seen many different kinds of coaching and believe the most success comes from an environment that cultivates love for the sport, provides a safe place for kids to enjoy it, and encourages respect for both the sport and for other people which builds lifelong character.

In my free time, I love riding bikes, watching clouds, roller skating, acrylic and water color paining, and petting my cat.
