Owner/ Coach Tony
Tony Pineda began gymnastics at the young age of ten in his hometown of Mexico City. By the age of fourteen, he was invited to train in Oregon, where he pursued his education at South Eugene High School. In 1984, Tony joined the UCLA Men's Gymnastics Team. During his time at UCLA, the team secured two national championship titles in 1984 and 1987.
Tony proudly represented Mexico in two Olympic Games, namely the 1984 games in Los Angeles and the 1988 games in Seoul, South Korea. He also participated in six World Championships and has two moves named after him in the International Code of Points as a result of being the first to perform these skills in International Competition.
With more than twenty-seven years of coaching experience, Tony brings his passion for the sport, positive mindset, hands on approach and technical expertise to Spark Gymnastics Academy. He is thrilled to have the opportunity to guide gymnasts and coaches towards reaching their full potential.
Coach Autumn
Hi! I’m Autumn! I have been teaching gymnastics for 3 years now, and have always had a passion for working with kids! I started dancing very young and danced my whole life, including being on my high school drill team and running track. I graduated from Atascocita High School and have since decided to go to school for Medical Diagnostic Sonography to become a sonographer.
I look forward to teaching all the little ones valuable skills and having fun!
Coach Addi
Hi! My name is Addi Hebert. I am a senior at Kingwood High School. I was a Junior Olympic Gymnast competing through level 8. Throughout my time as a competitive gymnast, I learned many valuable skills like self-confidence, discipline, and teamwork. After finishing my gymnastics career, I became involved in diving and track and field. I currently work part-time at a local preschool while finishing high school.
I look forward to guiding young athletes to become the best gymnasts they can be.
