 Hi, I'm Tanner Brooks

Hello there! I'm Tanner Brooks, and I'm passionate about tumbling, fitness, and making a positive impact on young lives.

My Journey

My journey started during my childhood, where I developed a fondness for playing football and practicing flips in the backyard. As I ventured into these activities, I faced the daunting task of self-instruction, battling the fear that often came with it, all without the aid of a mentor.

Upon enrolling at UNCW for my academic pursuits, I stumbled upon the UNCW cheer team, which turned out to be a pivotal point in my life. It was within this team that I uncovered my true calling – coaching.



Education & Expertise

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science, which has provided me with a deep understanding of the mechanics behind physical fitness and performance. This knowledge, coupled with many years of hands on experience, allows me to tailor my coaching to each individual's unique needs, ensuring safe and effective training.

A Passion for Working With Kids

One of my greatest joys is working with children. Their energy, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn never cease to amaze me. As a tumbling instructor, I take pride in nurturing their potential, building their confidence, and helping them achieve their goals, both on and off the mat.

 Hi, I'm Coach Ashlyn!

Hi! I’m Coach Ashlyn. I’ve cheered for 12 years and coached for 6, and I’m thrilled to be joining The Tumble Spot! I can’t wait to keep growing as a coach and to help our athletes grow, learn, and shine.


My Journey

Hi! I’m Coach Ashlyn, and cheer has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I spent 12 amazing years in Allstar cheer and went on to cheer in college for four incredible seasons. Along the way, I fell completely in love with the energy, the teamwork, and the challenge of always pushing to be better. Now, I get to share that passion as a cheer and tumbling coach! Helping athletes learn new skills, build confidence, and discover their own love for the sport is truly my favorite part of what I do. I’m so grateful for the journey cheer has taken me on—and even more excited for the journey I get to take with my athletes!

Education & Expertise

I continued my cheer career in college at Trinity Valley, where I also studied Liberal Arts. Over the past four summers, I’ve had the opportunity to coach with Christian Cheerleaders of America, and I’ve spent two years coaching at an all-star gym. I now travel to work with teams across the country, focusing on choreography, stunts, and building strong, confident athletes. Coaching has become one of my biggest passions, and I love helping athletes reach their full potential.
