Maggie Willis

Maggie is a Junior Coach at Inland Empire Gymnastics Academy.  A USAG Level 9 competitive gymnast, Maggie has been in the gym since the age of two, and she literally eats, sleeps and breaths gymnastics. Though most of her time is spent in training, "When School is Out -- Camp is In" and Maggie is right there in the middle of it; teaching gymnastics, chaperoning field trips, and playing with the campers.  Maggie also does choreography for the gym's USAIGC Copper Team.  Maggie is a sophomore at Cajon High School in San Bernardino.

Katie Willis

Katie Willis is the owner of Inland Empire Gymnastics Academy. A former elementary school teacher and district administrator with San Bernardino City Unified School District, Katie’s interest in gymnastics developed alongside her oldest daughter Maggie. When Maggie’s gym decided to close its doors, Katie chose to open her own program, rather than drive her daughter, five days a week, to another community for training. Though never a gymnast herself, Katie has come to love the sport of gymnastics and all that it can provide for young people. Katie can often be heard saying “you don’t have to be a competitive gymnast to love gymnastics and get something out of it…gymnastics offers something for everyone!”

Though most of Katie’s time is spent in the office, she does get a chance to “get out on the floors” and do the thing she loves the most…teaching! Katie coaches our Power Kids classes.
