Thea Obrist

Co-Founder | Head Coach | Gymnast-for-Life

Thea is a lifelong gymnast, experienced coach, and mom of three girls who practically grew up in the gym. She’s passionate about creating a space where kids feel seen, supported, and challenged in all the right ways.



She is a certified gymnastics judge with a background in business—both of which she’s used to help bring GRIT to life. Her coaching style blends high standards with deep care, and she’s just as invested in a child’s confidence as she is in their skills.


Whether working with preschoolers or competitive athletes, Thea’s mission is simple: build strong humans who love the process as much as the progress.
