Coach Nacho

Director of Operations

Hi Everyone! My name is Nathan, but your kids know me as Coach Nacho! I am the Director of Operations here in Austin! I started with The Gym Station as a coach and my favorite part has been watching the kids grow and accomplish so much with our programs through the years! I grew up doing competitive gymnastics and as soon as I was able, I began coaching all levels of gymnastics while earning my Associates Degree in Fire Science to become a certified EMT/Firefighter! However, my heart was hooked on coaching ever since I experienced how a little determination and encouragement can help children reach their goals. My main goal here at The Gym Station is to create a FUN, EXCITING, and ENCOURAGING atmosphere where your kids can learn the importance of health and exercise—while having a BLAST with all our AMAZING staff!!! Before I moved to the best city in the world…Austin,TX…I grew up in Georgetown,TX. In my free time, I enjoy backpacking, any sport/fitness activity, and music! I can't wait to share my enthusiasm for health, fitness, and FUN with your children!

Hello Friends! Jessica here, or Coach Llama to your little ones! I’m originally from Florida and received my BFA in Dance and a minor in Psychology from the University of South Florida. I moved to NYC in 2016 where I taught dance, choreographed, and performed in several dance companies. In 2018, I moved to Austin (and LOVE it!) to create a performance dance company with my best friend and creative collaborator. I’m super passionate about encouraging the next generation to create, get their bodies moving, and to have a healthy and fit lifestyle now and in the future. I’m so excited to create, dance, flip, run, jump, play, explore, and have tons of FUN with your kiddos!

Coach Pepper

Hey there! My name is Taylore but your kiddos know me as Coach Pepper! I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California but moved to Austin with my husband in 2016. I LOVE everything health and fitness but I especially enjoy teaching others about it. I believe kids can learn to love being healthy very early on with a little encouragement and some FUN! Soccer was the very first sport I played as a kid. From there I did pretty much everything else. Rock climbing, dancing, swimming, and tumbling. In college, I discovered CrossFit and haven't stopped since. I'm so excited to be working with your kids and to share my passion and experience with them!
