Tyler Reimer 
Boy's Team Assistant Coach
Gym Cleaner Extraordinaire

​Born near Vancouver, B.C. – Tyler Reimer moved to Massachusetts in 1996. A lifelong gymnast, he attended Sterling Academy of Gymnastics through graduation of high school (Bishop Guertin - Nashua, NH), where he had a couple top-12 finishes on the floor exercise at J.O. nationals. He went to the College of William & Mary for gymnastics, however retired soon after due to injuries. Yearning to come back to New England, Tyler began working at Granite State in 2009 – he has been working there ever since, rediscovering a sense of purpose coaching boy’s compulsory gymnastics.  He has always strived to form an older-brother connection with his students – a quality in which he holds immense pride.
Kate Atkinson 
Girl's Xcel Team Head Coach 

​Kate is a former Level 9 gymnast.  She trained at Granite State Gymnastics under Diane and Jim Burke and Kristin Paradis.  From 2013 to 2018, Kate was the Head Coach of the Xcel Girl's Team at Brentwood Gymnastics in Brentwood, NH.  We were lucky that Kate was looking for a more local gym and with fewer hours so that she could spend more time with her two young children.  Kate is a devoted mom, and she brings a similar devotion and passion to her coaching.  Kate is highly structured, focuses on the finer details of gymnastics, and she also brings fun and laughter to the gym!  

Kate is CPR/First Aide certified and has a background in basic sports medicine.  
Melissa Fraley 
Girl's Xcel Team Coach 
                   Melissa is a welcomed addition to the Impact Team family.  She recently
                   graduated with a masters degree in education.  In September
                   2019, she took her first job as a school counselor in the Franklin NH School
                   District.  Despite her full-time work there, she decided that her passion for
                   gymnastics and coaching was too much to keep her away from the sport. 
                   Lucky for us, she is one of our Xcel Girl's team coaches at Impact.  Prior to 
                   coaching at Impact, Melissa coached a Junior Olympic Girl's Team, where she
                   excelled as a compulsory coach... teaching beautiful lines and sound technique
                   all in an atmosphere of fun!  Melissa said that she loves going to meets to "see
                   the girl's hard work pay off."  One of her best skills as a coach is that she works 
                   hard (and is successful at ) building strong connections with each of the girls
                   she coaches.  For fun, she loves spending time with her dog, Ace!
