Anna

Meet Coach Anna!

Coach Anna grew up in Sweden and has been passionate about gymnastics since she was five years old—ever since she was caught climbing a flagpole at school! Her talent and determination quickly led her to the junior national team, where she trained an incredible 32 hours a week while still in school.

At 14, Anna’s own gymnastics career was cut short due to a knee injury during a double backflip, but her love for the sport never faded. She had already started coaching younger gymnasts the year before and has been helping athletes reach their full potential ever since—both in Sweden and Australia.

Now, at Onyx, Anna’s goal is to train gymnasts in a fun and exciting way while pushing them to be their absolute best. She’s passionate about building strong, confident athletes and making Onyx a powerhouse in the competitive gymnastics world!
