As Parker kids sharpen their pencils and head back to school, we’re reflecting on what this season means at Momentum Athletic Center: new routines, fresh goals, and endless opportunities for growth.
This year feels especially meaningful as we prepare to celebrate our 10-year anniversary in March. What started with just a handful of gymnasts and families has grown into two thriving facilities, countless programs, and a community that continues to expand with the needs of local families.
Back-to-school also makes us nostalgic, especially as we cheer on Rachel — our first collegiate athlete graduate — heading into her second year of tumbling at Lander University. Her journey from a young gymnast at Momentum to a Level 8 competitor and beyond is the perfect reminder of why we do what we do.
At Momentum, our mission has always been about more than gymnastics, cheer, ninja, or tumbling. It’s about creating a place where kids feel supported, families feel welcomed, and the whole child is encouraged to grow. That vision lives on through our programs, our culture, and our incredible coaches — many of whom have been with us since day one.
From Parents: A Safe Place to Grow
One Momentum parent, Sarah, recently shared a heartfelt note about her daughter Sophie:
“Sometimes progress isn’t measured in medals — it’s in the confidence they carry, the friendships they build, and the joy they find in the journey. Momentum has been that place for Sophie, and we are so grateful.”
It’s moments like these that remind us of why we do what we do. Momentum isn’t just a gym — it’s a second home for our kids, a place where they’re cheered on in every sense of the word.
Our Coaches: The Heart of Momentum
We’re proud to have an entire staff of amazing coaches who pour their energy, creativity, and passion into our athletes every single day. While we wish we could feature everyone, here’s a look at a handful of coaches whose dedication and leadership truly capture the spirit of Momentum.
Coach Marquita – All Star Cheer
Known for telling her athletes, “The only way to fail is to stop trying,” Coach Marquita led her Prep Team to become Grand National Champions for 2025, even landing a feature on Denver’s 7 News.
Coach Leah – Developmental Cheer & Events
From leading Developmental Cheer to running Momentum’s summer camps, Coach Leah is a master at making every athlete feel capable and celebrated.
Coach Michael – Competitive Gymnastics
Part of Momentum since day one, Michael is a leader, mentor, and talent spotter who has guided athletes like Rachel from preschool beginnings to collegiate success. He also created the Momentum Hall of Fame to celebrate our dedicated staff.
Coach Allie – SHINE, Extraordinary Athletes, & Preschool Programs
Coach Allie’s huge heart and passion have grown SHINE Sideline Cheer into a thriving program with nearly 30 athletes. She also leads our Baby Music and Movement classes and plays a big role in Extraordinary Athletes—all while staying actively involved in the Parker community.
Coach Phillip – Developmental Gymnastics & Preschool Programs
Beloved by preschoolers and families alike, Coach Phillip makes fundamentals fun while focusing on developing the whole child. His developmental clinics are some of the most popular at Momentum.
Coach Lisa – Extraordinary Athletes
The Extraordinary Athletes program has become one of Momentum’s proudest achievements, and that’s thanks to the leadership and passion of Coach Lisa Moore. Through her vision and partnership with Developmental Pathways, this program has grown into a safe, inclusive, and life-changing experience for children with special needs.
Why Our Coaches Matter
Momentum’s culture is rooted in the belief that we’re not just training athletes — we’re building strong, confident kids who carry their lessons into every part of life. From national championships in All Star Cheer to the simple joy of a preschooler’s first cartwheel, our coaches show up every day to make a difference.
As back-to-school season kicks off, we’re reminded how much we love watching our athletes grow — in and out of the gym. With ten years of history behind us and so much still to come, we’re grateful for coaches like Marquita, Leah, Michael, Allie, Phillip, and Lisa, who embody everything Momentum stands for.
