  • Josh has been an incredible personal trainer for our daughter. His approach to tumbling and flying strikes the perfect balance—he’s patient, encouraging, and knows exactly how to push at an age-appropriate level to bring out the best in his athletes. In just the last two months, we’ve seen so much growth. Not only have her tumbling and flying skills improved significantly, but her confidence has skyrocketed. She genuinely looks forward to her weekly lessons, and that says everything. Josh creates an environment where she feels capable, motivated, and excited—like the sky is truly the limit. His level of commitment and the care he shows for each athlete really stand out. We’re so grateful for the impact he’s had already and can’t wait to see how much more she continues to grow under his guidance.

  • Josh is an exemplary guest coach who brings both professionalism and passion to the world of cheerleading. His wealth of knowledge is evident in his ability to run tumble clinics catering to beginners learning cartwheels all the way to advanced tumblers perfecting full twisting layouts. Beyond his expertise, Josh demonstrates remarkable patience with the kids, fostering a supportive learning environment. Josh also worked our Summit routine. His experience has been invaluable, providing great inspiration to the girls. We are incredibly grateful for his contributions and look forward to future collaborations. Thank you, Josh!

  • We used Josh for 5 routine reviews. His turnaround time was super fast and he had some great suggestions to help us improve our routines on the scorecard for future competitions this season. For a small club that doesn’t have the funds to bring in a choreographer, this was a cost-effective way to get some honest and specific feedback. Thanks Josh!

  • Working with Josh has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our daughter. In such a short amount of time, we’ve seen incredible growth—not just in her tumbling skills, but in her confidence, mindset, and overall love for the sport. Josh has a gift for breaking down skills in a way that actually clicks, while still pushing athletes to reach their full potential. They are patient, encouraging, and truly invested in each athlete’s success. My daughter looks forward to every session and leaves feeling proud of herself every single time. If you’re looking for a coach who builds strong athletes and confident kids, I can’t recommend Josh enough.

  • We absolutely loved having Josh at Inspire to help at our cheer camp. He choreographed 4 pyramids and also choreographed our Senior 5s routine. Josh was so patient with the athletes and brought so many good vibes into the gym and our cheer camp. We are so excited to have him back soon!

  • Where do I start? I've come here to write this review a few times, and every time I feel like I need to add more because each lesson with Josh just keeps getting better and better. He is incredibly talented, has such a calm presence. He communicates in a timely manner and is always professional. Josh is also very accommodating and genuinely invested in the success of every athlete he works with. My girls take privates for both tumbling and stunting. His knowledge of cheer is astounding! Josh's ability to anticipate every move keeps his athletes safe while building their confidence. He redirects with kindness and encouragement, creating an environment where athletes feel supported while continuing to grow. Josh knows exactly how much to challenge each athlete, pushing them just the right amount to help them reach their full potential. My daughters have both increased their skills dramatically since working with him. My youngest leveled up from an level 1 to a level 2 and my oldest is being considered for JV this fall. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Josh should consider themselves incredibly lucky. We truly feel blessed to be learning from the best!

  • We couldn’t be happier with Josh as a tumbling instructor! My daughter has completed 7 lessons with him so far, and the progress she has made is amazing. When she first started, she couldn’t even do a handstand or really have the body strength to hold herself up. Now she has already improved so much in such a short time. Not only has her strength and skills grown, but her confidence level has improved tremendously too. Josh is patient, encouraging, and knows exactly how to motivate her while making lessons fun. We are so grateful for all the hard work and support he gives and can’t wait to see how much more she accomplishes with him!

    Gina I | Parent 

  • My daughter has grown and improved so much since she started her tumbling and flyer lessons with Coach Josh. She looks forward to her lessons and is much more confident in her current skills and also with trying something new. Coach Josh is amazing with communication and recommendations on what to work on at home to keep up with the skills they work on, which is something I appreciate.

    Gina Pereira | Parent of Alana

  • It was such an amazing experience having Josh choreograph our routine. He was patient and supportive with a large group which consisted of a wide variety of skill set and age (14–44!!). His ideas and vision came together seamlessly with everybody’s strengths and weaknesses in mind. As an athlete but also a parent with her daughter in the same team, we were all very well looked after and Josh was a gem to work with on all levels.

  • My girls love working with Josh. He has been working on tumbling with Alexis and flying with Avery and they have both grown leaps and bounds with just a few lessons! Can’t wait to continue working with him going into the next season of cheer. He’s also very kind, caring, great with communication, and easily adaptable to schedule changes. Would highly recommend!!!

    Christie Flaherty | Parent 

  • My daughter started working with Josh this year doing flyer privates, and the insane amount of growth—even in the very first lesson—has been amazing to see! His patience and encouraging nature definitely works to bring results. Always happy, smiling, never rushing, would regularly go over the time slot until he was finished, just always showing he wanted her to succeed even though we were from a different gym. Forever grateful for the experience and knowledge given!

    Kahli | Parent

  • Josh is a fantastic coach. He is always encouraging and supporting Ava through her tumbles and pushing her to be her absolute best. Ava has had Josh as a team coach and also for private tumbling, and I would recommend his coaching expertise to anyone.

    Ally Warren | Parent

  • Josh has been working with my 13-year-old daughter Rose as her private coach in both tumble and flying. Josh is a phenomenal coach, with so much patience and guidance and a personal cheer squad for my daughter. He has such belief in her and it shows by how far she has come under his guidance and coaching. If you are looking for a professional coach with a role model attitude and a total belief in your cheerleader’s ability—100% Josh is your coach.

    Josh is an incredible coach. He has coached my daughter from the very first day she walked into a cheer gym at age 7 and a complete novice right through to now—age 11, Level 4.

    He is patient, supportive, encouraging, consistent, knowledgeable and an exceptionally talented athlete and coach.

    He gets to know each and every athlete he coaches and mentors and is aware of their individual strengths and weaknesses, which ensures he is able to get the very best out of them—not only in regards to their skills but also in their personal confidence and self-belief.

    We have even changed gyms yet still sought out Josh at his current club for private lessons.

    His guidance of my daughter’s cheer journey—preparing her mentally and physically for every step—has been invaluable in shaping her as an athlete, and we are so grateful and thankful to have had him as her coach.

    Josh Boatwright is the most positive person we have ever met—the true definition of a cheer coach.

  • Josh’s patience and care with Addy, working together on her flying and tumbling (in particular her back handsprings) from 4 years–9 years old, built her confidence and her love of cheer early on. We always knew she was safe and ensuring any skills were only attempted once Josh knew she had the prerequisites nailed. Josh encouraged Addy through kindness, resulting in Addy being excited to attend extra classes with a drive to attain and perfect skills. Josh regularly provided feedback to us as Addy’s parents, in addition to giving Addy stretch and drill homework. The mix of hard work but with a smile, throwing in fun, is what kept our small cheerleader loving her time with Josh.

    Kim and Rob Lees | Parents

  • I first met Josh when I was about to turn 5 and I had a dream to be a cheerleader. My parents bought me lessons with Josh to help with my flying and tumbling! I’m now 10 and have had so much progression thanks to Josh, having the opportunity to go to Nationals and now Summit. Josh and I had fun together and would have the best music for dance moments, but we also knew how to get serious and put in hard work. I’ve grown up with Josh being a coach in my life, and while I’m not fully grown yet, I know that I have the right start. Josh believed in me even when I was a little scared. I’m so grateful to Josh and my parents.

  • Josh is such an amazing and encouraging coach! He’s always supportive and really takes the time to help everyone improve, no matter their skill level. He explains things in a way that actually makes sense and keeps practice positive while still pushing us to be better. You can tell he really cares about the team and wants everyone to succeed. He is very patient and supportive. He has made me really enjoy being at cheer lately and excited to see him!

  • Josh is a great coach and I have known him for almost 5 years, and he has coached me for 3 years and has taught me so much and I have come so far. And at the end of the day, it was him that pushed me to get where I am now. Thanks Josh!
