Julie Creelie - Acrobatics Coach

I started my gymnastics life as an 8 year old being inspired by the Olympics and went on to be part of the York Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Squad.

Moving to Basingstoke as an adult both of my daughters took part in gymnastics (and Fiona still does, as well as coaching it !).

I started teaching Acrobatics in 1995 and Gymnastics in 1997.

I am a British Gymnastics level 1 men’s artistic coach, pre-school Club Coach and Fun4Baby coach. I also have a gymnastics disability module.

I have been with Lynden since January 2019 and love working with such a friendly and enthusiastic team.
