Elizabeth Colonel
Hello! My name is Elizabeth Colonel. I’m 18 years old and I just began working here at CGA.
However, I was a gymnast here most of my childhood. I recently graduated high school back in
May, 2023 and I am currently at Miami Hamilton majoring in nursing! Even though I love all the
events, beam is my favorite. Super excited for what’s to come!

Bri Forney
I was a gymnast at CGA from 2000-2004. In 2011, I moved to Columbus to study English Literature and Creative Writing at The Ohio State University. I joined the OSU rec trampoline and tumbling team, The Sundial Humor Magazine, and Alpha Chi Omega. After graduating in 2014, I moved to San Francisco where I taught gymnastics at AcroSports and took classes in aerial silks and contortion. I then moved back to Columbus where I coached at Buckeye Gymnastics for 8 years. Now I’m back home at CGA and I can’t wait to see what the future holds!
Carly Johnson

Carly has lived in Cincinnati her whole life. When she was 9, she started taking lessons at CGA with her sister, being inspired to, after watching the summer olympics. She competed at 3 level, doing well on her favorite events, beam and bars. After stopping gymnastics a few years later, Carly continued to take the skills and life lessons she learned at CGA applying them to everyday life, while constantly trying to teach any friends who would listen, how to do handstands and cartwheels. Carly loves teaching and is so happy to be back at CGA.
