Since 2003

Flipping Fit was formally established in 2003 by Owner/Founder Ally Walker. Ally is a former International Level 10 gymnast who has represented Australia in both gymnastics and sport aerobics. Ally has worked as a Gymnastics Coach since 1993 and holds a Bach App.Sci.(P.E.) degree and advanced qualifications in both Womens and Mens gymnastics with Gymnastics Australia (GA).

Immersed in this niche market since 1999, Ally is best known as Head Coach and Manager of Wesley Lions Adults, a popular Melbourne based adult gymnastics program which peaked after continuous growth in 2014 attracting over 300 participants. Her passion for working with adults extended to starting her own boutique coaching business, Flipping Fit, which today stands alone in depth of experience, approach and process.

In January 2019, Ally accepted an offer to merge the FF private tuition service with Melbourne Gymnastics Centre (MGC) who also took over the mangement of Wesley Lions Gymnastics.  Ally is now the Adults Team Leader of MGC and is responsible for the mangement of the Adult Gymnastics program (conducting casual classes 5 night/week) and Private Tuition bookings (every Sunday).

Ally is committed to increasing the visibility of adult gymnastics both within and outside of the gymnastics community, improving accessibility of adult gymnastics through sharing her knowledge and coach education, achieving athlete goals through improving coaching practices, and making sure we celebrate the success of our gymnasts and create a new belief that age is truly no barrier in gymnastics.  

Ally believes, "The only limits we have are the ones we set for ourselves."
