Owner of Atlantic Gymnastics. In 2010, he was celebrated as Educator of the Year by USA Gymnastics. Tony is a very popular lecturer at State, Regional, and  National Congresses. He is also a guest clinician at training camps throughout North America, The Caribbean, Europe and  Australia. Most recenty, Tony took on an interim position as the Head coach for the Swiss Senior National Team. 

Cori, along with the owner Tony is one of the longest members of the Atlantic staff, having worked with Tony before the gym opened. Cori’s coaching career goes back to her UNH days when she had to retire from the UNH gymnastics team due to an injury. Her senior year she began coaching for the UNH team. While working on her Masters of Education at UNH she continued coaching and continued working with Tony when the Atlantic gym opened in Portsmouth in 1994. 

Cori currently coaches EVERY LEVEL in the gym!  She teaches a couple of kindergarten age classes, a few beginner classes, and every team level from Level 1 - 10.   She also teaches an adult class and her students range from age 14 to 54!  "I think this is what I love about my job the most.  Every age group and every level offers me a fresh challenge and perspective." 

Alli began working at Atlantic the Summer of 2002 after working for several summers at a camp in NY which Head Coach Cori and Owner Tony worked at, and ran. She is the lead bar and vault coach for Level 7-10. Although gymnastics takes up a lot of her time she does like to go hiking, canoeing, camping, beach trips and other outdoor activities with family.

"I love gymnastics because it is ALWAYS challenging you. I come to work every day to the best athletes and coworkers I could ask for. They inspire me to work hard every day."

Diane first arrived at Atlantic as a parent of a team gymnast in 2007.  She chose to commute over 60 miles to the gym so her daughter could be trained by coaches "who cared more about their athletes as people than about their competitive scores."  What started out as a one year experiment is still going strong! Diane started working in the office for a few hours a week in 2011 and never looked back even after her daughter no longer competed on team after she graduated from high school in 2016.  Diane transitioned to full time employee as the Office Manager of the Portsmouth location since 2019. 

Diane loves the sense of family here at AGTC and the favorite part of her job is giving our wonderful students and their families the best customer service possible.  

(She has much more fun than back in the day when she was a VP of Commercial Lending.)

Diane enjoys spending her free time with her husband, Pete, listening to health and wellness podcasts while commuting to the gym, 

or at the beach!

Ryleigh has been at Atlantic Gymnastics since she was nine years old! She first came to us as a competitive gymnast and was on our competitive team until she was 17 years old. While in college, Ryleigh would come home every weekend so she could teach classes on Saturdays. She earned a bachelor's degree in Exercise Science from Colby Sawyer and came back to Atlantic to coach team and teach classes full time.  

She loves teaching our little ones but also finds many rewarding moments teaching our youngest team members. She has been the head of our Developmental Team program for 7 years. 

Dina has been with Atlantic since 2008 managing the Portsmouth location until 2019. She took a short break to be with family in California but couldn’t stay away for long. She returned to us to manage the Dover location in July 2020. 

She is a woman of many talents, although interestingly does not know how to do a cartwheel! You often find her in Dover these days but you can catch her at the Portsmouth gym sometimes. Don’t be surprised if you run into her with wrench in hand. She has been known to repair water fountains, fix computers, and many many other objects at the gym. She is also the resident plant lover at Atlantic and usually is the reason for the many plants in the window. 

“I find a lot of pride in being part of this gymnastics family. Not only do I work with wonderful people but it also really means a lot to be able to be a part of a child's growth. Whether we have them for just a year or many years, I love seeing our families and knowing we are having a positive impact on their day and hopefully more.” 

Kelly was a gymnast for the Atlantic team when we first opened!  She continued with her gymnastics when she left to attend college at Kent State. Occupational Therapy is her full time job while she is not here coaching. Her daughter Alexis is following in her footsteps and is competing for the Atlantic Team. Kelly loves hiking, movies, and spending time with her family. 

Why do you love gymnastics?

I love gymnastics because it has taught me important life lessons: perseverance, goal setting, commitment, and hard work.
