Ember Academy Lessons Sneak Peak
Treating Flexibility Like Strength Training:
“When we first dive into flexibility training, it’s hard to find any reliable routines or programs that continue to give results over time. This is because most flexibility training is exercise focused and not training focused.”
Leg Workout For Explosive Jumps And Leaps:
“Here is a collection of fast twitch building exercises… When the muscle is activating quickly, you are training your fast twitch fibers. But when the muscle tires out and the movement slows down, you are no longer training the fast twitch fibers and instead building general strength.”
Iron Ankles:
“The ankle is most certainly the most commonly injured area in gymnastics training… This means, we want a solution that can protect us from the wear and tear of regular training.”

Why Ember Academy?
the only people more motivated than gymnastics athletes, are the parents supporting them.
Over the years, I’ve received thousands of emails from motivated parents. These emails are always related to helping their children achieve their goals. Ember Academy serves as a hub of information, where parents can answer difficult questions about hard to navigate topics.
These topics range from diet advice, training knowledge, theoretical physics, all the way to mental advice for winning gymnastics. While I don’t expect the emails to stop, I do suspect more effective training and support at home.
Testimonials
Kind Words from my students and their Parents
Testimonials from a few of my private coaching families.
These athletes are trained using the principles taught in the courses at Ember Academy.
“Over the past two years, Coach Lawrance has had a very positive impact on our daughter’s growth. He takes the time to understand each athlete’s personality and learning style, and adjusts his coaching in a way that really helps them progress with confidence. He communicates openly with both gymnasts and parents, which makes the process feel supportive and collaborative. We are truly grateful for his dedication and the care he brings to coaching his athletes.”
“Coach Lawrance is an incredibly supportive and motivating coach who makes every practice enjoyable! Thanks to him, we have grown stronger, more confident, and he has made gymnastics something we truly love. Coach Lawrance has inspired us to improve and reach our best every day!”

“Lawrance has been instrumental in helping my daughter build a strong foundation in gymnastics. He teaches skills in a way that truly makes sense for a 9-year-old—breaking movements down technically while remaining patient and encouraging. He understands that progress takes time and balances discipline with fun, which keeps my daughter engaged, motivated, and excited to return to practice. Her growth has been steady and confidence-building, and we are grateful to have a coach who is so positive, dedicated, and invested in his athletes.”
