Adana Harris(Owner and Director and Level 7-10 Developmental coach of Dynamic)
As a Competitive Gymnast and Dancer Adana began coaching at the age of 12. After attending college at Eastern Washington University, she realized her true passion was the sport of gymnastics. Although she had been running a local gymnastics program she opened Dynamic in 2003. And has been coaching many State, Regional, and National champions every since,
Her philosophy is to create and environment of positivity and culture to builds the entire athlete, in order to help them achieve their goals, while maintaining the highest standards and integrity.

Melanie Bixby (Level 7-10 Women's Developmental coach)
Has been at Dynamic since 2013. Her passion and devotion to the sport and every athlete is immediately apparent. Melanie moved to Spokane from Southern California with her husband and son. She has coached for over 30 years. In that time she has help guide numerous state, regional, western national and national champions. Her proudest achievement is helping guide Dynamic athletes to earn scholarships for NCAA Gymnastics and Acro and Tumbling Teams.

Tabby Ward (Level 4-6 Women's Developmental coach)
Tabby is a staple here at Dynamic and has been coaching since she was 18. Having grown up as one of Dynamics athletes she encompasses the spirit of the gym. Once Tabby retired as a gymnast, she immediately put on her coaching hat and has been at Dynamic since....well, she took a short 2 year jaunt over to the west side of the state where she also coached, but quickly knew her heart belonged back in Spokane at Dynamic. One of Tabby's greatest passions is floor choreography. She pours her heart into creating each routine that perfectly suits each individual athlete. We are blessed ot have Tabby as part of our Dynamic Team staff

Alyssa lived up north in the Colville area and attended a local gym there. As she advanced she would make trips to Dynamic to be coached in private lessons to add to her skill level. Alyssa who always pushes for excellence ii all she does, made the decision when she was 16 to join Dynamic's Xcel team. Alyssa was able to finish her gymnastics career graduating with Dynamics program while completing running start and eventually earning a Bachelor's in Exercise Science and Athletic Training, as well as being a certified personal trainer. We are proud to have Alyssa as part of our Dynamic family.

Loryn Nelson (Level 3 & 6 Woman's Developmental & Xcel coach)
Loryn has gymnastics in her blood! To say she is a vital part of our program is an understatement. Loryn competed at a local gym in Spokane when she was young, but you would think no time has passed since her retirement as continues to set goals for herself to learn new skills every now and then. Loryn's passion is evident everyday as you can hear her cheers from across the gym as athlete better their skills and technique. Loryn is an asset to our program and we are thankful she found her way to Dynamic in 2022.
