Vicki Galeano

Vicki Galeano began coaching at Inland Empire Gymnastics Academy in 2009, however her experiences in the “gymnastics world” are quite extensive. Vicki trained and competed in both the United States and in Columbia, South America.  Finishing her competitive career as a Level 9, Vicki turned to the coaching arena and has been training competitive gymnasts since the age of 17.  (As an interesting side note: Vicki even coached our own coach Danielle for a brief time!)  Vicki feels privileged to be able to do the one thing she loves the most, which is teaching children gymnastics, but she believes that the “lessons between the flips” are just as important.  Developing young people with character, drive, and high self-esteem is the bi-product of a great gymnastics program.  Vicki is First Aid & CPR certified, Safety Certified through USAG and is a professional member of USA Gymnastics in both women’s artistic gymnastics and men’s gymnastics.

Vicki coaches all levels at Inland Empire Gymnastics Academy, however her primary focuses are our team “lead-up” classes (Power Kid & Mighty Mites) and our Women’s USAG Competitive Program Levels 4-8.

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 Tumble Kids classes.
