In this gym, age doesn’t matter. Titles don’t matter. Skill level doesn’t matter.

That’s the magic of our club — different backgrounds, different journeys, but one family. 💙

Meet our coach Fabio 🤸‍♂️
Fabio has been a key part of our team since starting gymnastics at Grip in 2018. He’s competed up to Level 12, achieving incredible results—including 1st place in Italy 2023 and 3rd in 2025.
His experience makes him invaluable when it comes to spotting high-level skills, and he has a real talent for working with our younger gymnasts—who absolutely love him!
Fabio has completed his GL coaching course and all requirements for qualification. Alongside coaching, he’s pursuing his dream of performing on the international stage and is currently training in dance and ballet to make it happen.
We’re lucky to have him as part of our team 💫

✨ Meet the Team: Victoria Kay ✨
We are so proud to introduce our incredible dance instructor and coach, Victoria Kay.
Victoria’s journey in dance began at just two and a half years old, growing up in her mom’s dance studio in Australia. Surrounded by passion and dedication, she naturally stepped into teaching, leading classes across a variety of styles from a young age.
During her later schooling years, Victoria was accepted into Queensland Dance School of Excellence, where she trained intensively in ballet, repertoire, pas de deux, pointe, Pilates, contemporary, jazz and tap while completing her academic studies in the afternoons. Her commitment and talent opened the door to an extraordinary opportunity—she successfully auditioned for the in Paris, where she went on to become a principal dancer for five years.
During this time, Victoria was also selected as the face of the Moulin Rouge and MakeUp Forever, traveling the world, working on two films, and even appearing as a judge on MasterChef. An incredible achievement and truly unique experience.
After returning home, Victoria completed her RAD professional Dancers’ Postgraduate Teaching Certificate and transitioned into teaching. She first joined Grip as a helping hand with concert choreography but quickly became one of our most valued team members.
Victoria threw herself into coaching gymnastics while also introducing dance into our gym. Working closely alongside our team, she immersed herself in learning the technique and discipline of acrobatic gymnastics. She has also received her GL certification in coaching.
Today, she is an integral part of our gym. We are so grateful for the knowledge, experience, and passion she brings. Victoria has helped create a pathway for many of our students to pursue a future in dance and performance, and we cannot wait to see what they achieve.
We are incredibly lucky to have you, Victoria 💙

Meet Our Team 💫
Hi, I’m Isabelle Carr – owner and head coach of Grip Gymnastics.
My journey in gymnastics started at just 5 years old at Gym Masters, and from that moment it became a huge part of my life. Over a 14-year career, I had the incredible opportunity to compete internationally 10 times and represent South Africa at 4 World Championships.
After my competitive career, I followed another passion and completed my BSc and Honours in Marine Biology at UCT. This led me to travel the world, working as a marine biologist in Thailand, the Maldives, and Vanuatu, while also coaching gymnastics in New Zealand.
Eventually, I returned home, completed my PGCE, and began teaching. What started as fun after-school gymnastics sessions quickly grew into something much bigger… and that’s how Grip was born.
Over the past 8 years, I’ve earned my FIG Level 2 International Coaching certification and Level 2 Judging certification, and I’ve had the privilege of coaching 6 athletes to represent South Africa at World Championships.
But beyond qualifications and achievements, my goal has always been simple: to create a space where every child feels welcome, supported, and part of a family. At Grip, it’s not just about results — it’s about each athlete’s individual journey and helping them grow in confidence, strength, and joy.
🤸🏿‍♀️

Three of our competitive dancers had the opportunity to learn choreography from the incredible and

Franco is about to head off to his next professional contract with Costa Cruises as a dancer! We’re so grateful that he took the time to work with our dancers and share his experience before heading into this next chapter.

Mieke Carr was right there alongside, assisting and demonstrating with her signature performance quality throughout.

We’re really grateful for the experience and can’t wait to see these three take their routines onto the competitive stage this season.

Looking forward to working together again soon and opening up more opportunities like this for our Grip dancers. 🎉
