Originally founded by one Gail White with the intention of creating a fun and safe environment for youths to grow and learn in the sport of gymnastics. These intentions were met for a whopping 15+ years!
On August 16th, 2021 Twiststars had a change in ownership with Lisa and Guy Merker along with partner Austin Nacey ready to carry on the legacy of excellence. In August of 2022, we officially changed our name to Element Tumbling & Trampoline to forge our new path as new gym owners.
Lisa and Guy Merker also own Dupage Cheer & Power Tumbling in West Chicago, IL along with raising a daughter that just so happens to be an Elite Athlete and a member of the USA Junior National Team in the sport of Trampoline and Tumbling. Lisa and Guy treat their business as an extension of their family and treat families the way they would want to be treated.
Austin has attended (Twiststars) Element Tumbling & Trampoline as an athlete since the age of 11 and beginning in 2011 has coached alongside Gail White for 10 years. Throughout his career he became a 7 time World Medalist and has met and learned from some of the greatest coaching minds from around the world.
"I'm am very humbled and excited for the opportunity to share all that I have learned throughout the years and to help young athletes achieve their goals!"
